THE GREATEST SHOWMAN

SYNOPSIS: A story inspired by the life of PT Barnum.

RATING: 9/10
REVIEW: I don't know much about the life of PT Barnum but the story here was very interesting and entertaining. However, I felt like the transition between some of the scenes somehow felt wrong. Some stories just pop-up without any proper introduction at all. Still, I really liked the songs of this musical. The only one I didn't like is the 'Never Enough' song because it annoyed the hell out of me after hearing it a lot. Also, the choreography of the characters and the cinematography was very amazing and beautiful to watch. The cast did an amazing job especially Hugh Jackman.

SHOULD YOU WATCH IT: Definitely, yes! Especially if you love musicals.
WOULD I WATCH IT AGAIN: Absolutely!

• I really didn't like that they had to introduce Jenny Lind's character. I mean, sure they had to create a problem but why did it have to be her? I dislike her character so much. It's probably why I hate the song 'Never Enough' too. 
• One of the most unforgettable scenes for me was when Charity's father slapped PT Barnum as a child - 'Thank you for your honesty'. I still can't believe that Charity's father is Azazel from Supernatural. That explains a lot. Just kidding haha.
• It's funny that our reaction to the scene where PT and Charity danced on the rooftop was for them to be careful. They were really on the edge of the rooftop! I cannot even.
• We were curious in the beginning how PT was able to keep communicating to Charity. He was very poor after his father died. It was funny when it was revealed that he just slipped the letters in a mailman's bag.
• I really didn't care much for Phillip and Anne's relationship but I did like their song.
• I really like the performers PT hired especially Lettie. I love her voice.
• This is the first movie where I saw Zac Efron sing again (after High School Musical) so I was amazed that he could sing well.
• I can see the issues that some of the people had in this movie. About how PT exploited the performers for his own personal gain but if you think about it, he also gave them a chance to appreciate themselves and make themselves shine.
