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.
