An uniquely unforgettable masterpiece that makes us truly sorry but doesn't actually care for our blind pity.The film asks for our respect, not cry for Merrick. But eventually it's very hard to resist ourselves from doing that. One of the greatest lines comes when Merrick's fellow "freaks" in the circus help him escape and said "Good luck, my friend. And who needs it more than us?" A must see for everyone to know & see the deformed face of 'humanity' in this cruel ugly world.
