IMO:
woman gets raped by an elephant and what do you get? the elephant man!... its a pretty touching sad life story of the elephant man... supposed to give it 3 1/2 stars until i found out this movie is actually based on factual events! there really is this doctor and the elephant man really do exist... but his deformity should be from other causes, cant be kena raped by elephant then become like that... if like that then i go and mate with animals to create hybrids liao... mate with horses to get centaur, mate with bull to get minotaur, mate with bat to get batman, mate with spider to get spiderman, mate with snakes to get medusa, mate with birds to get angels~

Rating:
4 out of 5 snoopys
