Query: Not true

This movie was well done, no doubt. But it's not true. Based on Joseph Merrick's own autobiography, he chose to enter the world of fairs and shows to earn his own keep so that he wouldn't have to return home to his step mother, who was abusively mean to him. He was very close to his real mother, though. He was not able to hold obtain a job because of his appearance, and people thought he was stupid because of the way he looked. But when he joined the shows, he said that he as comfortable there as he was uncomfortable before. (His words, not mine.) I wish they had followed the true story better, and at the very least used his real name instead of calling him John.
