You'll likely forgive its flaws in prtraying the titular character is an object of pity more than a human because of Lynch's skillful direction, the cinematography, and the great acting.

poignant and moving
This movie is poignant and moving. I applaud Christopher Tucker who did John Hurt's make up. Anthony Hopkins, John Gielgud, and Anne Bancroft are fantastic. An unforgettable movie.

awesome movie
really sad, great role models, true story, great movie. i like how they chose to shoot it in black in white because i don't think it would be that good in colour. some people may think its a bit scary. the main character John merrick is a good role model sort of.
