The Greatest Showman

Post by Exequel26 »

Im going to have a review about the Movie of The Greatest Showman. But first let me give you an info about this movie. This Movie is a musical drama film by Michael Gracey written by jenny bicks and Bill condon. Starring Hugh jackman,Zac efron,Zendaya and other famous actors. This movie is so beautiful when I watched it on my Ipad I cried a lot from the start untill the end. Because I cant say anything just Wow the cast is so famous and very great singers they gave me a goosebump. I tell you guys and girls this Musical movie is so wonderful. It will make you cry also and you will learn here how to balance your work and your family. This movie also will help you to gain confidence that each one of us living here in the earth have a right to show who we are or what we are. If you watch this movie you will learn also to embrace your flaws and differences to other people.You will learn also that every Hardwork will paids off because Barnum as Hugh jackman he debt to the government just to have a money that will make as a wax museum but it not became successful so his daughter suggested that make it move and it became a theater where the freaks or the people that is different to other perform very well. This movie is Highly recommended for all of you who wants to watch a expectacular movie.

I was so glad to see Hugh Jackman get a chance at redemption for a movie musical! I feel like Les Miserables just didn't pan out well for him (or for a lot of the actors, really), so I was happy when I saw him in this movie. I have listened to the music so many times! Out of curiosity (I feel silly not knowing this), was this musical based on a book? I'm asking because this post is here in the movie and book forum, and it piqued my curiousity.

I've watched this movie countless of times already - this musical film is so insatiably amazing that I consider this my most favorite musical film by far... followed by Evita and Les Misérables :)

My girlfriend must watch this movie at least once every two to three weeks which means I end up having to watch it while I work on my laptop....I pretend to hate it...bud I don't. She even has the sing along version now.

I got goosebumps from watching the movie as well! Everything about it was great - the songs, the choreography, the actors! I watched a behind the scenes and saw how dedicated they all were! After watching the movie, I rewatched it with my sister, then downloaded the soundtrack on spotify cos we got so hooked. Now we randomly burst into song at home with songs from the movie.

I absolutely loved the songs in this film. I would recommend it for anyone who loves musicals and is ok with all the historical inaccuracies. P.T. Barnum was not a very nice person to his slaves or animals, and the movie definitely portrays him as a better person. However... the songs! They were so good!
