When he is discovered by London doctor Frederick Treves (Anthony Hopkins), Merrick is finally treated with the kindness and intelligence he deserves. Unfortunately, by awakening his true character the problems continue, for he can never lead a 'normal' life. David Lynch's atmospheric, fact-based film was nominated for eight Oscars, including Best Director and Best Actor. ## Images ![The Elephant Man [Blu-ray] - Image 1](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81eHYXAYu4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The heart and soul that John Hurt breathes into his portrayal of John Merrick blends all the better with Lynch's noir cinematogr *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2017* One of the first films (in addition to Star Wars, Grease and Cabaret) I viscerally remember as a child. The heart and soul that John Hurt breathes into his portrayal of John Merrick blends all the better with Lynch's noir cinematography and Hopkins stoic, good doctor. A beautiful, horror of one man's life - who perhaps is more perfectly human than any one of those oppressors who so mercilessly try and keep him down. And yet, he rises above achieving as normal a life as he could hope for, realizing dreams and touching lives until he relinquishes himself to the belief that to die happy is better than to wait for a sadder tomorrow. This captivating black and white film inspired me at a young age to overcome any personal obstacles I felt could ever be responsible for holding me back from the life I wanted to lead, for no obstacle could be as trying as having the physical deformities of The Elephant Man. A simply grand statement of a more respectful and optimistic future for mankind. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everyone Should Watch This Film *by G***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2018* As a young girl, I remember seeing this film when my parents were watching it in the living room one evening. I remember being a little frightened of John, but more when he was wearing his hood and cap than any other time. I cannot really remember how else I reacted to the film, but when I ran across it many years later, I watched it and cried for John Merrick. I think, even without my knowing it, the fact that I saw this film early on in my life actually influenced me to become a very compassionate and kind person. To this day, I think about Joseph ("John") Merrick and the fact that the world is a better place for him having been in it for his all too brief life. I believe extraordinary individuals like Mr. Merrick are placed among us to show us how we should treat one another.All of this I got because of this beautiful film. I love movies, but I am no film critic. All I know is that Anthony Hopkins and John Hurt captured my heart. If it were the goal of the filmmakers to awaken in us compassion, empathy, and kindness, they succeeded wonderfully. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Is it possible? *by R***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2018* Can one person change the world? In his relatively short lifetime, Mr. Merrick was unfortunate enough to experience the absolute worst of humanity, but he was fortunate enough to finally receive what he truly deserved; a home where he finally found kindness and respect. It amazes me that he remained so gentle and kind in spite of the cruelty he suffered, even at the hands of his own family. One person, one fellow human, was so disturbed by the cruelty Mr. Merrick had endured he chose to put an end to it. Granted, when Mr. Treves first saw him he wanted to study him and use him as a medical exhibit, but even then he made sure Merrick was comfortable. When he discovered Merrick was intelligent and literate he began to see him as a man rather than a specimen. They developed a friendship and others followed suit. Merrick finally learned what it is to have real friends who cared about his welfare and health. An excellent tale of the best and worst humanity has to offer. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/23476221-the-elephant-man-blu-ray](https://www.desertcart.in/products/23476221-the-elephant-man-blu-ray) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
