Equivalence

I am not sure of the theory but thinking about it and looking at a site something stood out that I thought I would ask about here.

In the lift experiment..where a beam of light is shone from a stationary lift thru a lift passing by ..in he drawings I have seen they show the beam of light in the moving lift to be bent..or curved..I have looked at this for ages and say that the only way the light beam could be bent this way is if the acceleration of the moving lift varied as the light beam went thru..otherwise all that the person in the lift could observe would be a straight beam...
is anyone with me here and do you think the representation of a bent beam is correct or something a human mind has invented because it can not comprehend the situation
