I had my daughter aged 14 watch the film with me and it changed her life! She could not understand what was in the minds of the people who tortured and hurt this gentle man. She just passed her psychology degree with honours! Because of Joseph Merrick! Now she has an educated understanding of him and the people who hurt him! RIP Joseph Merrick. ❤

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Hi TDN isn't that wonderful comment how powerful the film can be. I'm so pleased she got into psychology and passed her degree. If I had my time again, that's probably what I would like to do that. I used to read the subject avidly when I was younger. Thank you ever so much. A very happy comment. Regards, Alan

Godbless your daughter, I always thought he was called John Merrick I never knew it was Joseph, but he had the most horrible life and still kept his good nature this man was truly amazing

[@john.highheels.3244]

@@likeaboss6421 I think it was the film " The Elephant Man" that made people call him John. When I think of all these narcissistic plastic people these days paying thousands to look like perfect individuals. Joseph Merrick had more beauty about him than these 'look at me " shallow people will ever have.❤️

Hello Sue, I like it i am modest one beep will do :-)

[@yvoheaton6402]

Some years ago I was fortunate enough to see a play about John. The actor that played him had no make-up and no rubber prosthetics. He played the role naked apart from a jock strap. As the play developed he twisted his body to replicate John's deformity. It was an outstanding performance - one of the finest I have ever seen in many years of theatre going. Thank you for posting this.

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Sound interesting yvo

[@davidserlin8097]

That was the decision early on when Pomeranz’s play was first produced in the late 1970s. The idea was to emphasize Merrick’s humanity and vulnerability rather than have the audience focused on makeup or prosthetics. Over the years actors as varied as David Bowie, Mark Hamill, and Bradley Cooper have all played Merrick this way.

[@TuckerSP2011]

It is truly a heartbreaking story. I was very fortunate that I saw David Bowie play Joseph Merrick on Broadway with my mother. We were both so taken with David's talent, how he was able to create the deformities with his own body and with his acting and not with make up. My mother was very taken with him and cried. I hope that Joseph is now one of God's most beautiful and glorious beings in Heaven. I'm quite sure he is.

I used to do a night run in my job into Hoddesdon and i used to pay my respect at the graveyard be it from outside as it was closed.

That poor man. I believe that the actor Adam Pearson has neurofibromatosis too, and his deformities only started because he fell when young (don't quote me on that).

Thank you for this video. I wish I weren't so far to even visit the grave he so deserved. In my opinion, treating his remains as science objects was extremely disrespectful. But at least they found out that his 'disease' came from his mother, Mary Jane's side. Joseph Merrick's courage changed many lives, including mine, and his legacy was leaving the example that we can always be better, we should always aim for goodness and spread love, no matter how hard the world beats you. It's still impossible for me to even conceive being like that, but I do try to follow his steps, since filling his shoes is impossible for most people, including me. Nanda from Brazil
