conservative inviting people to see poverty as a kind of self-imposed moral freak show who gawped and despised
The Elephant Man is a good movie. Launched in 1980 and directed by Mel Brooks, which was characteristic of David Lynch first study. Set in Victorian London, it could be confused with a film about a bygone era where humans are less empathetic and exploitation on the other. But it is also a study of the timeless nature of the injury, which is surely nothing more and nothing less than atavistic narcissism and self-justification, whether manifested by cruelty or hiding in sentimentality.
biopic is a fairly simple, but tells a very subjective version of the life of Joseph Merrick, the Elephant Man the same name, its main benefactor of society, the surgeon Frederick Treves - who wrote a book about his encounters with Merrick -. preferred
Many details are wrong. Some are deliberately massagings truth to flatter the author, others are true errors - and even more revealing of the author. For example, in the memories of Treves, The Elephant Man and other memorabilia, named John Joseph long as he is in the film. Treves presented Merrick disinterested champion. But he never really managed to get the man's name right.
This does not mean Treves was a villain, or does not have good intentions. Their interventions have improved the lives of Merrick. But it was not until he ceases to see Merrick Treves as a "disgusting specimen of humanity" and "idiot" and began to see him as a person capable of making their own decisions and difficult closely adapted to their difficult circumstances and narrow, it started to happen. It was not until he realized Treves Merrick could read and write, and had a "refined" sensibility, he was able to help, rather than exploit - Treves Merrick did not see how a person up to what she sees in him a reflection itself Nice.
seems melodramatic, but I often see people who remind me of Trier in British public life today. Iain Duncan Smith has insisted this week is child poverty related to parental substance abuse, inviting the population to poverty as a kind of self-imposed moral freak show, review gawped and despised. However, the psychological addiction is a disease, no. Less real biological or physical deformations Merrick, and sometimes very difficult to manage or cure
In addition, the dependence is not widespread poverty explanation Duncan Smith claims to be 6.6% of people on benefits suffer with problematic drug use, while 4 million children live in poverty. Duncan Smith considers the dependence disgusting, repugnant as Treves Merrick. Duncan Smith says he wants to help addicts, as Treves was seen as helping Merrick, when really want to show for its own purposes.
- These goals are to promote honest, but bankrupt and interested in ideology that poverty is a moral failure, while wealth is a moral victory. The success of these people are, so I admire. In case of failure, they can not and do not want to see, so you get all sorts of reasons for the sentence, other than his own prejudices. Duncan Smith and his equal in all political parties would do well to familiarize themselves with the life of Joseph Merrick, and that of John Merrick, too - ie Treves Joseph Merrick wanted to see, to see a version of himself he could be proud in. Born in Leicester in 1862, Merrick's physical development was abnormal early in life, now attached - a best estimate - a combination of neurofibromatosis type I and Proteus syndrome. At that time, his family said it was the result of his mother being attacked by an elephant during pregnancy exhibition. After the death of his mother when he was 11 years old, Merrick was rejected by his father and stepmother and went to live with an uncle. His professional life began at age 13, rolling cigars. However, the progressive nature of the disease has affected his competence and his uncle was secured with a license peddler instead. As his appearance became more grotesque, it became increasingly difficult for him to earn a living this way. Over time, due to complaints about his appearance, his license was withdrawn, and his uncle could not support them financially.
In the film, Merrick is removed from the hospital and taken to Europe to work like crazy against their will. In fact, Merrick gawped instead to pay for the educated ignorant curiosity. In the film, he is saved from this life by other monsters. The truth is that I was growing disgust - and then the law - against monster living shows that the decrease in Merrick. He returned to Britain, and since he was not born in London, could not enter a house to work overnight.
Life impossible
Merrick like a bum, for now you can not reach, only ended when police found in his pocket cards Treves, and called to the hospital london. Merrick then entered the final phase of his life, living in the hospital, with the financial support of the wealthy inhabitants of London society, they finally realized that she was a victim of circumstances beyond his control, and worthy of sponsorship.
