My review of the elephant man

I completely absolutely positively disliked the elephant man. I did not like many aspects of this movie it was dreadfully slow paced and the character of john merrick honestly gave me the creeps. That being said the over all symbolism in the movie i found to be really well integrated and i can see why things were done the way they were. David Lynch was phenomenal at directing and the movie contained very good acting but i still don't like the movie its just one of those things that you have nothing against but still plain out don't like, its like a food you can eat and it doesn't taste good or bad to you but when asked about it you say you don't like it. I feel that this movie failed to gain my approval simply because i could not in any way connect to a single character to me a good movie is one in which i can identify myself with a character in the cast and the elephant man just didn't do that for me.

My name is John Merrick

Today i was visited by a woman, a very beautiful woman whose name is Ms.Kendall. A curiosity this one she is unlike any woman i have ever met she is beautiful she is kind and oddly enough is not scared me. She came bearing gifts an autographed picture of herself and a book of Shakespeare's works. We read an excerpt of Romeo and Juliet which i enjoyed very much but one thing stood out to me above all today something she did something no one has ever done before, she leaned in close and kissed me. This amazing woman has shown me love like no other woman has before i do not know what to make of it but i now await her next visit longingly. I dare not hope for nothing more than friendship but these feelings are new territory to me i shall see how this develops.

Welcome To My Nightmare

Fear. Everyone has fears those who say they are without fears are lying. But what causes fears ? Why are we so scared of certain things? According to Michael Scott the author of a series of books title The Secrets of The Immortal Nicholas Flammmel one of mankind's greatest fears is the fear of the dark and he goes into explaining how we fear the dark because in the ancient times man was hunted in the dark by savage beast who would feast on men and so that sparked a certain gene to show up in new born humans so that they would know to fear the dark and try to get out of it. There are some funny theories to why we have fears but there are also more enlightened theories, like for example going back to being scared of the dark the more enlightened theory for why we fear it is because in the dark we cannot see and our overly active imaginations, already polluted by media, begins to imagine all the things that can sneak up on you because you cannot see. At the end of the day having a fear is ok just as long as you don't let that fear hold you down.

Courage isn't about being fearless. It's about overcoming your fears. ---somebody said this
