I think for me, I was in the wrong mood or went in to this film with the wrong expectations. I wasn't the biggest fan of it and don't understand why it's on the IMDb top 250. The film relys on you loving or feeling sorry for the Elephant Man, but I felt it tried too hard to make you feel sorry for him. With it feeling like it's trying so hard to make you feel sorry for him I felt very disconnected and honestly numb to the whole movie. The bullying seemed so over the top and theatrical that it made the film have not groundedness to me. It looks nice. But it was kind of lifeless to me. Practical effects looked good. Maybe needs another watch.
