Hector is a psychiatrist who comes to realise the true source of happiness whilst travelling the world is much closer to home.
by the way, it's my favourite movie, because it shows with humor the connections of the universe.
it's possible "to wear the characters' shoes" while they try to find and to tell people their concepts about universe and life. and it's what I believe most in life.
John Hurt stars as John Merrick, the hideously deformed 19th century Londoner known as "The Elephant Man". Treated as a sideshow freak, Merrick is assumed to be retarded as well as misshapen because of his inability to speak coherently.
This feature film staged in 1939 is based ona true story. In a horrible Irish reformatory school for boys a horrific regime and mentality reigns.
In my view, this is the quintessential empathy movie. A mother and a daughter change perspectives about life, love and family responsibilities, after they get to experience one full (hence freaky) Friday in each other's body.
