The Elephant Man was a great movie to watch. The story was amazing. To have such physical features and having to deal with them would be a real struggle. Much more than many people realize. Also having the patience and willingness to want to help someone like that takes much more. Dr.Treves was the most influential character for me. He took initiative to help give this man a better life than the horrible one he was living. When John Merrik was living with Bytes he had to go under conditions in which he didn't want to follow. He was ridiculed and laughed at for the money that Bytes was making. Dr.Treves felt as if he needed to do something for this man so he helped him. Many people today would not take in a man that was in John's condition. Much less to take care of him fully. I really like the character of Dr.Treves and he was the one who influenced me most.
