'The Elephant Man'


I give Anthony Hopkins' beard an A+. He looks really good with a beard actually and I don't think I remember him one other than the movie with Cuba Gooding Jr. where he lived with the monkeys or whatever.

This movie is good because it sucks you into the character of the Elephant Man. It's black and white and set in Victorian England and you're wondering how boring this is going to be and it takes 20 minutes for you to absolutely be enthralled by the guy.

I did love the insinuation that the Elephant Man's mom was raped by an actual elephant. Nice touch.
