i juz caught this black n white movie on arts central. it's bout the true life story of a deformed man, john merrick - how he was being saved from the circus, den captured back n tortured, and saved again. it's a very touching show bout humanity. to quote from the movie, i can never imagine what kind of life he has been leading.
it is very depressing...esp when they show scenes of how someone humiliating the genetically deformed human beings. it's not their fault tt they are borned this way! and it's so sad tt they are borned at tt era when human rights were not created yet. in the circus they are being showcased as 'freaks' - there are siamese twins, midgets, giants, etc. and they are treated by their masters inhumanely. i dun understand why the world is made in such a way tt there will never ever be equality?
i am really disturbed by the show.
