"The Greatest Showman" Deserves A Spot On Every Movie Lover's List@merit.ahama480d
This is a masterpiece!!!
And anyone who is a movie lover should feel the excitement to see a masterpiece, this is one of such movies. I'm still taken aback when I find people who are yet to see this movie, even after many of them listened and some have learnt the great songs featured in it, how cool and odd! Lol.
I thought hard and long for a movie I think would fit just right in any movie lover's list, "Titanic" came to mind but I figured a lot of people have actually seen this movie but one I'm not so sure of with the number of times some persons have said they haven't, it's The Greatest Showman.
I mean, how could you not have seen this masterpiece since 2017? It's a 1hr+ load of awesomeness, cool sceneries, powerful characters, and beautifully sang music. There's hardly anyone who would see this movie and not affirm to all that I've just mentioned about it.
I don't remember very much how it was for me before I decided to see this movie but considering the fact that I'd pick kdrama to any other movie, this movie must have caught my attention in anyway and one of them that I am sure of is, the music . They are all masterpieces!
Another side of this movie that everyone really should see it for is, the lessons it teaches. A story about a man who dreamed the impossible and made it come true. He became the greatest showman that ever lived because he found his calling, brought all the unusual people together.
These people created a spectacle that none can resist from watching in awe. The special appearances and guests in this movie makes it even more appealing and I'm talking about Rebecca Ferguson who I think gave the best performance of "Never enough" in the movie.
Every character played their role so well especially in the performances, with their voices, costumes and skills, I enjoyed the rope dance scenes a lot. There were very emotional scenes but tell you what! You'd feel excited and happy watching most of the scenes from start to finish.
There is also the lesson about family, friendship and finding true love in the most unexpected ways and fighting for it. If not for any other reason, I'd say the world should watch this movie for the lessons in it that teaches "Impossible can come true" and we can learn from his resilience.
I'm actually surprised to find out the lead character, the showman, is the face in Wolverine and Logan. I don't know how I missed that but not anymore, I'll find time to check those ones out. He is a remarkable actor and it was evident in this masterpiece and I highly recommend.
So if you're yet to see this masterpiece and you're a movie lover, add it to your list and thank me later hehe. I had a nice time on it even in my third time seeing it and I believe that is more than enough reason to recommend it to anyone, enjoy!
I watched this movie some years back and re-watched it some days ago and it gave the exact same feeling it gave years ago—a feeling of hope, empowerment and inspiration.
The Greatest Showman is a movie that beautifully blends powerful music, emotional journey, with magnificent visuals.
The movie centers around a boy, Hugh Jackman starring as Phineas Taylor Barnum who rose from grass to grace. Barnum was the son of a poor tailor, his father tailored clothes for a wealthy man (Mr Hallett). As the movie progressed young Barnum fell in love with young Charity(Mr Hallett’s daughter). But not too long after, Charity was sent to finishing school and young Barnum’s father passed away.
Life became tough for Barnum, he struggled to live but continued writing letters to Charity and she wrote back to him. He finally grew into a young man and married Charity, despite her parents' opposition due to his lower social status. But he promised he'd give Charity a grand life.
Barnum was an ambitious and visionary man. After he lost his office job, he risked everything, borrowed from the bank and opened a museum of oddities(which was later re-named as Barnum’s Circus). He then recruited people with unique physical traits to intrigue the public. Over time, Barnum’s circus started getting filled up with people and their shows started selling out.
This made Barnum so happy, he rose so high that he was able to give his wife—Charity, and their two children a much better life. Barnum’s oddities were happy also because they found a place that accepted them just as they were.
But Barnum became overly ambitious when he partnered with an opera singer, Jenny Lind(Rebecca Ferguson). He started chasing upper-class audiences, which jeopardized his relationship with his wife and children and led to financial strain. He started going on tours with Jenny Lind, abandoning both his family and his troupe.
In the long run, Barnum realized his mistakes. He became aware that his original performers and family were what mattered most and made everything right in the end.
Review- There were notable tracks that I love so much-
The Greatest Show: It was used as both the beginning and closing songs of this movie—a powerful song.
This Is Me: This song won a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song. A strong anthem of self acceptance.
A Million Dreams: An emotional song which showed Barnum’s early ambitions.
Rewrite The Stars/ A romantic dual performance between two lovers(characters) in the movie.
The Greatest Showman is an entertaining musical that inspires viewers with spectacular visuals. I strongly suggest you watch this, I would rate it a 10/10.
Hello movie lovers, I come your way once again to share with you a movie I watched recently. This is a musical that I didn’t think would be nice but it ended up exceeding my expectations. I have watched musicals like high school musical but when I was a kid and to think of watching another musical during this stage of my life, I wasn’t too sure what to expect.
THE PLOT
The show starts with a song that shows a glimpse of the future before taking the audience back in time to follow the life of the main character, “Phineaus”. We see how this main character struggled with his father to make ends meet and how he struggled after his dad died.
We also see how he struggled to win over and marry the girl of his dreams who comes from a rich family. We then see how he chased his dreams, failed on more than one attempt before finally being successful.
We also see how he lost this success after being too ambitious and not properly thinking about things. He then loses his family, business and friends temporarily before winning them all back in the show’s climax.
MY THOUGHTS AND REVIEW
As someone who likes songs, this movie is a 10/10. The plot too is incredible and the actors and actresses did fantastic jobs portraying their characters. The show resolves around a circus so you get to see some nice tricks and it was nice to see that an actress such as Zendaya learnt the trapeze just to play her role well.
The movies highlights the importance of not giving up on your goals that and shows that no matter what anyone says, you can make it and make it well. It also teaches us the importance of family and not taking them for granted as we can lose them.
Then movie signifies the importance of not being tribalistic or racist but including everyone in whatever we do. It shows that even those who look the least likely to know something could be the ones to know how to do it best .
›Cine Tv Contest - The Greatest Showman: A true gem.@oluchi31551d
One of the little things in life that makes me really happy is when people are willing to share things that make them happy with me. That's because it validates me even when I don't validate myself. For me to share something I love so much with someone else, be rest assured I really like you and the chances of you messing up my views on that thing I love, are very slim. So when people share something they love with me, it makes me feel so happy.
I remember resuming one day and doing the regular resumption thing a student would do - unpacking. Then, a beloved roommate came to me, talking about this film she loved so much. She asked me if I've watched it, after all it's a classic. I said no and continued with what I was doing. When I was done, she offered to download it for us both to watch it together. I agreed and dear reader, that day, the show gained another obsessed viewer - me. I was so grateful she shared the film with me as from that day, it became one of my favorites too.
The greatest showman is a 2017 film starring actors Zac Efron, Hugh Jackman, Keala Seattle and Zendaya. When Mr. Barnum, who has always had dreams of doing better in life, is fired, he takes a loan and begins his own show business - Barnum and Bailey Circus featuring different talented individuals and misfits in society, creating the greatest shows on earth at the time. But this show brings about controversies among the locals who aren't in support of these people being on stage.
This film was a first for me in different things. It was my first time watching it? Yes. But this was the first movie where I saw Zendaya. I remember being struck by her facecard and admired her for how pretty and flexible she was. Before watching this movie, I had heard of the name Zendaya but I hadn't watched a movie where she starred in and didn't even know who she was. I was struck by her looks and when I asked my friend, she told me that that was Zendaya. She played the role of Anne Wheeler. I don't really remember so much about the character but I remember she was in love with someone and their story was cute.
This was the first time I heard the song Rewrite The Stars. It was sung by Zendaya too. I fell in love with how soulful it was from the movie and months after, I still found myself streaming it. This has been one of my favourites for a very long time, thanks to this movie that helped me discover it.
I loved all the songs in this movie. From A million dreams to Never Enough and to From Now On, I enjoyed them all and even though I don't really know some of them word for word, I hum alongside the characters while they sing their parts. Many of the songs in this show were inspiring and I loved them. There was one that was sung by the characters appreciating themselves for who they were - 'This is me'. I loved it. A million dreams was sung by Barnum to Charity, his wife played by Michelle Williams. I loved the vocals in this song a lot. That's actually one thing I remember that struck me. Michelle's vocals in this song. It was so ethereal. My top favourite song in this movie was From Now On. This was sung by Mr. Barnum when he was inspired by something I'd rather not say because I don't encourage spoilers. I loved this song because firstly, it was a masterpiece. The song makes me so emotional and it's something you can sing your heart out to. And yes, I know this one word for word.
I loved almost all the characters in this movie and seeing how they strived to make a living by letting their real selves come to life after being seen as outcasts in the society was one of the things that endeared the characters to me. Each and everyone of them had been banished from society because of one thing or the other - the way they looked, the way they behaved and many other characteristics they possessed and the society termed non-human. They all drew strength from one another and I loved it for them.
This is one of those movies with great plots and beautiful storylines that will always remain gems to me and many others. If you haven't seen this movie, know that you are missing the greatest show, just as the name implies.

Hello to all, dear Movies and TV Shows community. I hope you're all doing wonderfully today. I'd like to share my review with some opinions on the movie: The Greatest Showman, a film that has divided opinions since its release. To be honest, I came to watch this movie with certain expectations, influenced by the stellar cast that includes great actors like Hugh Jackman, Zendaya, and Rebecca Ferguson... and of course, by the fact that it was based on the life of a famous circus entrepreneur who revolutionized entertainment. I'm not really a fan of musicals, or at least I wasn't at the time I first saw this movie, so I was expecting a great spectacle that would manage to win me over.
From the very first moment, the movie manages to capture you with its vibrant songs and colorful visual spectacle. In fact, the beginning of the movie has such energy that it feels like the climax of a story, which definitely grabs a lot of attention. However, the first 15 or 20 minutes feel more like a series of music videos than a linear cinematic narrative. This can be a plus if you enjoy a fast pace and music, of course, but it can be somewhat disconcerting for people who aren't accustomed to musicals and who expect to see more traditional writing in this film.
Hola a todos querida comunidad de Movies and TV Shows, espero que en el día de hoy se encuentren de maravilla.. les quiero compartir mi reseña con algunas opiniones de la película: The Greatest Showman, una película que desde su lanzamiento ha dividido opiniones. Para ser honesto, llegué a ver esta película con ciertas expectativas, influenciado por el reparto estelar que incluye a grandes actores como Hugh Jackman, Zendaya y Rebecca Ferguson.. y por supuesto, por el hecho de que estaba basada en la vida de un famoso empresario sirquiense que revolucionó el entretenimiento. Yo la verdad no soy muy fan de las musicales, o por lo menos no lo era al momento de ver esta película por primera vez, así que dentro de mí esperaba un gran espectáculo que logrará conquistarme..
Desde el primer momento, la película logra atraparte con sus canciones vibrantes y su colorido espectáculo visual.. de hecho, el inicio de la película tiene una energía tal que parece el clímax de una historia, algo que definitivamente capta mucha atención. Sin embargo, los primeros 15 o 20 minutos se sienten más como una serie de videoclips musicales que como una narrativa cinematográfica lineal.. Esto puede ser un punto a favor si disfrutas de un ritmo rápido y de la música, por supuesto, pero puede resultar algo desconcertante para las personas que no están acostumbradas a los musicales y que esperan ver una escritura más tradicional en esta película..
The great charm of this movie lies especially in its songs and soundtrack. There's no way to avoid tapping your foot to the rhythm of very catchy melodies. The team of composers really achieves a perfect mix of contemporary songs that feel very fresh. Even outside the context of the movie, it's easy to imagine listening to many of these songs on your personal playlist. I personally saved many of these songs for myself. They are authentic anthems, not only because of their rhythm but also for the powerful message of acceptance and self-esteem they convey. I was surprised to find myself humming these songs several times long after I had finished watching this movie. This is a faithful testament to how well-crafted the musical aspect of this story is.
However, I can't help but feel that, at the end of the day, it is a movie, and it falls into what I could call excessive positivity. The characters face certain conflicts and tragedies, but everything seems to be solved too quickly and easily. This is one of the aspects that I didn't fully understand; it was a bit implausible and closer to the style of a Disney movie, if I make myself clear. It's as if they had some kind of magical tool to solve any problem at a specific and ideal moment, which can be frustrating if you were expecting a more realistic representation of the challenges of circus life. Despite this, the movie itself has an interesting energy and spirit, which makes it difficult not to get carried away by its colorful rhythm. The central message of self-esteem and accepting yourself as you are resonates strongly and can be a great tool for people who are dealing with these thoughts.
El gran encanto que tiene esta película radica especialmente en sus canciones y en su banda sonora.. no hay manera de evitar mover el pie al ritmo de melodías muy pegajosas. El equipo de compositores realmente logra una mezcla perfecta de canciones contemporáneas que se sienten muy frescas, incluso fuera del contexto de la película, es fácil imaginarte escuchando muchas de estas canciones en tu playlist personal.. yo personalmente guardé muchas de estas canciones para mí. Son auténticos himnos, y no solo por su ritmo, sino por el mensaje poderoso de aceptación y autoestima que transmiten, me sorprendió encontrarme tarareando varias veces estas canciones mucho después de haber terminado esta película.. Esto es un fiel testimonio de lo bien que está logrado el apartado musical en esta historia.
Sin embargo, no puedo evitar sentir que, al final de cuentas, es una película, y que cae en lo que yo podría llamar como una positividad excesiva, los personajes enfrentan ciertos conflictos y tragedias, pero parece que todo se soluciona demasiado rápido y fácilmente.. Este es uno de los aspectos que no me terminaron de comprender, fue un poco inverosímil y más cercano al estilo de una película de Disney, si me doy a entender. Es como si tuvieran una especie de herramienta mágica para resolver cualquier problema en un momento específico e ideal, lo que puede resultar frustrante si esperabas una representación más realista de los desafíos de la vida del circo. A pesar de esto, la película de por sí tiene una energía y un ánimo interesantes, por el cual es difícil no dejarte llevar por su colorido ritmo, el mensaje central del autoestima y aceptarte tal y como eres resuena con mucha fuerza y puede ser una gran herramienta para personas que están lidiando con estos pensamientos..
In today's world where diversity is often marginalized (although some people with little brain power might think otherwise), it's refreshing to see a movie that celebrates everything that makes us different. The main character brings together people with peculiarities and gives them a space to shine, which is undoubtedly one of the strongest points of this story. Although it's evident that not all characters have the depth one would want, those that are well-developed manage to create quite moving moments that touch the heart.
As for the performances, there's not much to criticize. Hugh Jackman, as always, shines. It's not surprising that he's the backbone of the entire movie, delivering an incredible performance in both emotional and joyful scenes. Zac Efron and Zendaya also have very palpable chemistry, and their love story, although it may seem somewhat predictable, adds a romantic touch to the film without stealing the spotlight from the main story. Most characters add a touch of elegance and diversity to the plot, which I found incredible.
One of the most debated aspects of The Greatest Showman is, as I mentioned, its pace. Personally, I think the movie moves too fast at times, almost as if it were designed for a specific audience accustomed to a constant bombardment of stimuli. This makes some moments feel not entirely organic and in which emotions are not explored too deeply. Conflicts are represented and resolved so quickly. But, again, this type of movie doesn't aim to be a profound drama, but rather a visual and auditory experience that makes you feel good and makes you think about certain things.
En un mundo actual donde la diversidad muchas veces se ve marginada (aunque algunas personas con poco cerebro piensen que no es así) es refrescante ver una película que celebra todo lo que nos hace diferentes. El personaje principal, reúne a personas con peculiaridades y les da un espacio para brillar, lo que sin duda es uno de los puntos más fuertes de esta historia. Aunque es evidente que no todos los personajes tienen la misma profundidad que uno querría, los que sí están bien desarrollados logran crear momentos bastante conmovedores que logran tocar el corazón..
En cuanto a las actuaciones, no hay mucho que criticar.. Hugh Jackman como siempre, se luce, no es sorprendente que sea la columna vertebral de toda la película, entregando una actuación increíble tanto en las escenas emotivas como en las más alegres. Zac Efron y Zendaya también tienen una química muy palpable, y su historia de amor, aunque puede parecer algo predecible, añade un toque romántico a la cinta.. sin robarle protagonismo a la historia principal.. la mayoría de personajes aportan un toque de elegancia y diversidad a la trama, que me pareció increíble.
Uno de los aspectos más debatidos de The Greatest Showman es, como les dije, su ritmo, personalmente creo que la película avanza demasiado rápido algunas veces, casi como si estuviera diseñada para una audiencia específica, acostumbrada a un bombardeo constante de estímulos. Esto hace que algunos momentos no se sientan del todo orgánicos y en los cuales no se profundice demasiado en las emociones.. los conflictos se representan y se resuelven de manera tan veloz.. Pero, nuevamente, este tipo de película no busca ser un drama profundo, sino ser una experiencia visual y auditiva que te haga sentir bien y que te haga pensar en ciertas cosas.
The Greatest Showman is exactly that: a great show. Don't expect a deep narrative or unexpected plot twists, but if you want to be entertained, you'll probably end up with a smile on your face. It's not a perfect movie, and it definitely has its very noticeable flaws, but in terms of pure entertainment, it achieves its goal. If you like musicals, or you're simply looking for a Sunday movie to watch with your family or with younger viewers that will make you feel good, this is an excellent option. It's a colorful and musical spectacle that, despite having some clichés, manages to entertain and convey a positive message, which is very important nowadays.
The performances, music, and choreography are top-notch, and although the plot leaves something to be desired, the movie achieves its objective, which is to make the viewer feel good about themselves and the world. My final rating for this movie is 7.8/10. It's nowhere near a masterpiece, but it's definitely a movie I recommend, and one that I personally have watched about 3 times, and each time I watch it, I'm entertained. I hope you liked this review. I'll leave the trailer for you down below if you'd like to watch it. We'll see each other in the next ones, take care, bye bye.
The Greatest Showman es, justamente eso: un gran show. No esperes una narrativa profunda ni giros argumentales inesperados, pero, si quieres entretenerte, probablemente termines con una sonrisa en el rostro.. No es una película perfecta, y definitivamente tiene sus fallas muy marcadas.. pero, en términos de entretenimiento puro, cumple su objetivo. Si te gustan los musicales, o simplemente buscas una película dominguera para ver con tu familia o con los más pequeños y que te haga sentir bien, esta es una excelente opción. Es un espectáculo colorido y musical que, a pesar de tener algunos clichés, logra entretener y transmitir un mensaje positivo, que es muy importante en el día de hoy.
Las actuaciones, la música y las coreografías son de primer nivel, y aunque la trama deje un poco que desear, la película logra su objetivo, y es hacer al espectador se sienta bien consigo mismo y con el mundo.. Mi calificación final de esta película es un 7.8/10. No está ni cerca de ser una obra maestra, pero definitivamente es una película que recomiendo, y que en lo personal he visto unas 3 veces, y cada vez que la veo, me entretengo. Espero que les haya gustado esta reseña, les dejo el tráiler por aquí abajito, si gustan verlo, nos veremos en las próximas, cuídense, bye bye.

Greetings @movies&Tvshows community, to entertain myself for a while I was looking for a while to see what I could see and I came across The Greatest Showman, I know it's from a few years ago, but it didn't matter, I wanted to see it again and this made me realize a few details that I ignored, or simply different opinions arose compared to when I saw it the first time, both positive and negative.
Released in 2017, under the direction of Michael Gracey, starring Hugh Jackman and a large cast and is of biographical and musical genre. The film is based on the true story of the founder of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus, the largest and biggest circus in the United States.
It all begins with the great dream of a little boy Phineas Phineas Taylor Barnum, “PT”, who always had peculiar visions. He recurrently accompanied his father, a tailor, to his work and, in one of his clients' houses, he met Charity, the client's daughter, and noticed her very much; this, of course, did not please the little girl's father at all, since the difference in classes was very marked, causing her to be sent to a boarding school, even so, this did not prevent them from keeping in touch by means of letters.
However, an event strikes in PT's life, his father dies, leaving him orphaned and starving; to survive he steals a loaf of bread, discovering it in the act. Even so, a woman takes pity on him and gives him an apple, this woman has peculiar physical conditions, not to say deformed, an important fact for future events.
PT does not give up and works to fulfill his dreams by selling newspapers. As she grows up, Charity agrees to marry him, even to her father's displeasure, and goes to live with him, where they form a happy marriage, having two daughters and a job.
Even with the job, this does not make him happy, because he does not feel satisfied, it was not what he dreamed of. Everything falls apart when the company decides to close, due to the loss of 12 merchant ships.
With the support of his daughters and wife, he came up with an idea, getting a loan at the bank, through a supposed endorsement, buying and opening the “American Museum of Barnum Curiosities”, where a series of wax dolls were displayed, which did not attract the attention of people.
Thanks to the opinions of his daughters, he decides to get peculiar people to give life to his museum, from a dwarf, to a bearded woman enter that repertoire, thus beginning the adventure of this visionary man, who seeks to grow in an extraordinary and spectacular environment.
The Greastest Showman shows us how important it is to dream and work for those dreams, regardless of obstacles and social status, but, above all, to know how to value what you have and yourself. There is no doubt that PT had everything to be happy from the beginning, a family that supported him in everything, even if the idea he had was crazy, even so, he did not feel self-sufficient and he looked down on himself and others, he looked for a success that everyone approved of and, no matter how much he achieved wealth and fame, he did not find true happiness and, the more he looked for external approval, the more you lose yourself, because acceptance itself is the true success that will lead you to a more extraordinary environment.
Although it has a captivating story, being a musical they should have left the musical part more fluid with the narrative in general, however, I liked the songs, I love Hugh's voice, even though they are not catalogued as transcendental, they still sound in many covers of the songs that can be appreciated in the film. There was also criticism for the lack of depth and exploitation of the characters in question, I feel that it is difficult in just two hours, so as a way to open the film to who was the founder of the largest circus in the United States, it fulfilled the task, it is not the musical of musicals, but it entertains.
I feel that he focuses on inspiring you to live the life of PT, to never give up, to not judge by appearances, to accept others as they are and to accept yourself. It also tells us how is that journey between dream and reality that, it is not easy, who said it was, but, you have to fight against all odds, against adversity, as long as you appreciate what you have, that's where we find true happiness, because we all have the potential to achieve and create something extraordinary, just persevere and be grateful throughout the process.
How captivating the story can be, where we are moved by the characters that are intertwined. How it shows us that humans are endowed with gifts that we must explore and work every day, because we are capable of dreaming and creating.
It is a refreshing story, where we are imbued with the magic of fighting for dreams, destroying the barriers between social classes and the physical aspects that compare us to each other.

Saludos comunidad de @movies&Tvshows, para entretenerme un rato estuve buscando un rato a ver que podía ver y me topé con The Greatest Showman, sé que es de hace unos años atrás, pero no importaba, quería verla nuevamente y esto me hizo percatarme de unos cuantos detalles que ignoraba, o simplemente surgieron opiniones distintas en comparación a cuando la vi la primera vez, tanto positivas como negativas.
Estrenada en el 2017, bajo la dirección de Michael Gracey, teniendo como protagonista a Hugh Jackman y un reparto bastante amplio y es de genero biográfico y musical. La película esta basada en la historia real del quien fue fundador del circo Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus, siendo el más grande y más grande de todos los de Estados Unidos.
Todo comienza por el gran sueño de un pequeño niño Phineas Phineas Taylor Barnum, "PT", quien siempre tenia visiones peculiares. El acompañaba recurrentemente a su padre, un sastre, a su trabajo y, en unas de esas casas de sus clientes, conoció a la Charity, la hija del cliente, fijándose mucho en ella; esto, por supuesto, no le agrada para nada al padre de la pequeña, ya que la diferencia de clases era muy marcada, haciendo que al final la envíen a un internado, aun así, esto no evita que ellos logren mantener el contacto por medio de cartas.
Sin embargo, un suceso golpea en la vida de PT, su padre muere, quedando huérfano y muriendo de hambre; para sobrevivir roba un pan, descubriéndolo en el acto. Aun así, una mujer se compadece de él y le regala una manzana, esta mujer posee condiciones físicas peculiares, para no decir deformes, hecho importante para los acontecimientos futuros.
PT no se rinde y trabaja para cumplir sus sueños, por medio de la venta de periódicos. Al crecer, Charity acepta casarse con él, aun con el disgusto del padre, se va a vivir con él, donde forman un feliz matrimonio, teniendo dos hijas y un trabajo.
Aun con el empleo, esto no lo hace feliz, porque no se siente satisfecho, no era lo que el soñaba. Todo se viene abajo cuando la empresa decide cerrar, debido a que perdió 12 barcos mercantes.
Con el apoyo de sus hijas y esposa, le surge una idea, consiguiendo un crédito en el banco, por medio de un supuesto aval, comprando y abriendo el “Museo americano de Curiosidades Barnum”, donde se mostraba una serie de muñecos de cera, que no llamaba la atención de las personas.
Gracias a las opiniones de sus hijas, decide conseguir personas peculiares para que le den vida a su museo, desde un enano, hasta una mujer barbuda entran ese repertorio, comenzando así la aventura de este hombre visionario, que busca crecer en un entorno extraordinario y espectacular.
The Greastest Showman nos muestra lo importante que es soñar y trabajar por esos sueños, sin importar los obstáculos y estatus sociales, pero, sobre todo, el saber valorar lo que tienes y uno mismo. Es indudable que PT tenia todo para ser feliz desde un comienza, una familia que lo apoyaba en todo, incluso por muy loca que fuese la idea que tuviese, aun así, no se sentía autosuficiente y se menosprecia y menospreciaba a los demás, buscaba un éxito que aprobara todos y, por más que consiguiera riqueza y fama, no encontraba la verdadera felicidad y, es que mientras más busca la aprobación externa, más te pierdes, porque la aceptación misma es el verdadero éxito que te conducirá a un entorno más extraordinario.
Aunque tiene una historia cautivadora, al ser un musical debieron dejar más fluido la parte musical con la narración en general, no obstante, a mi me gustaron las canciones, amo la voz de Hugh, a pesar de que no cataloguen de trascendental las mismas, aun suenan en muchas covers las canciones que se pueden apreciar en el filme. También hubo criticas por la poca profundización y explotación de los personajes en cuestión, siento que es difícil en solo dos horas, así que para a modo de dar apertura a quien fue el fundador del circo más grande de Estados Unidos, cumplió con el cometido, no es el musical de los musicales, pero entretiene.
Todo más bien siento que lo enfoca en inspirarte de la vida de PT, de que nunca te rindas, de que no juzgue por las apariencias, acepta a los demás como son y a ti mismo. También nos habla como es ese viaje entre el sueño y la realidad que, no es nada fácil, quien dijo que lo era, pero, hay que luchar contra viento y marea, contra las adversidades, siempre y cuando aprecies lo que tienes, que ahí es donde encontramos la verdadera felicidad, porque todo tenemos ese potencial de conseguir y crear algo extraordinario, solo persevera y agradece en todo el proceso.
Lo cautivadora que puede ser la historia, donde nos conmueve con los personajes que se van entrelazando. De como nos demuestra que los humanos nos dotan de dones que debemos explorar y trabajar cada día, porque somos capaces de soñar y crear.
9/10 Historia │ 9/10 Actuaciones │ 9/10 Sonido │ 10/10 Escenario │ 9.5/10 General
Es una historia refrescante, donde nos impregna con la magia de luchar por unos sueños, destruyendo las barreras entre las clases sociales y los aspectos físicos que nos compara unos con otros.

Musical movies are not the ones I like especially after trying to see Les Miserables in musical, which for me was simply unbearable, then I saw In the Woods which was more bearable and I saw it as a kind of satire to how they pose children's stories to how they present us some characters or that's my opinion, but to my surprise recently, and by pure coincidence I found a musical that I loved.
The Greatest Showman
Basically, we find a musical that presents us with two things: first, a man who was very poor, but manages to fulfill his dreams, and second, that different people, often marginalized, also have a place and have qualities that make them admirable and unique.
Basically, we see how a very poor young man, son of a tailor, is orphaned at an early age, but maintains contact via correspondence with the daughter of a wealthy man and marries her, after trying to fit into formal jobs he only manages to be fired again and again, so through deception he gets a loan and creates a museum that is unsuccessful until his daughters tell him that his exotic museum needs something alive.
So, this man starts looking for freaks, bearded women, tattooed men, dwarfs, very fat or tall people and creates a very successful musical show.
Until I will narrate the plot, but now I will share with you what I liked about this movie. First, it is period, as it is set in the 17th century, approximately 1817. Also the musicals or each of the songs contain inspiring lyrics and very good choreography.
I presume that because it is a musical and wanting the audience to feel more inspired and hopeful, than the purpose of musicals, the costumes of each of the characters in the museum, which later became a circus, are very striking.
As for the plot, at times it makes spectacular jumps in time without much explanation, but one simply skips them or was what I did to not complicate my life and enjoy the movie.
But although it is a musical, this film is based on the true story of the founder of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus, who was named P. T. Barnum, who was an American show businessman, and is remembered for his entertaining hoax shows (structured falsehood, to be perceived as a truth, with a definite purpose) and exhibition of oddities, known in English as freak show.
In the cast we have Hugh Jackman as P. T. Barnum, Zac Efron as Phillip Carlyle, Michelle Williams as Charity Barnum, Rebecca Ferguson as Jenny Lind, Zendaya as Anne Wheeler, Keala Settle as Lettie Lutz “The Bearded Lady,” Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as WD Wheeler, Paul Sparks as James Gordon Bennett, Sam Humphrey as Tom, Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Deng Yan, among others.
Although I tried not to get infected by the motivational spirit that usually characterizes this type of film, it was simply impossible and I just relaxed and enjoyed my inspiring musical, and then returned to reality, but I must confess that after watching it I resumed some tasks that had me fed up with more encouragement and motivation.
In short, if you want to see a colorful musical, with good songs and choreography, plus an interesting and inspiring plot, this movie is for you.
Las películas de musicales no son de las que me gusten sobre todo luego de intentar ver Los Miserables en musical, que para mí fue simplemente insoportable, luego vi En el Bosque que fue más soportable y la vi como una especie de sátira a como plantean historias infantiles a como nos presentan algunos personajes o esa es mi opinión, pero para mi sorpresa hace poco, y por pura coincidencia encontré un musical que me encanto.
El Gran Showman
Básicamente, nos encontramos con un musical que nos plantea dos cosas: la primera, un hombre que fue muy pobre, pero logra cumplir sus sueños, y segundo, que las personas diferentes, muchas veces marginadas, también tienen un lugar y tienen cualidades que los hacen admirables y únicos.
Básicamente, vemos como un joven muy pobre hijo de un sastre queda huérfano a temprana edad, pero mantiene contacto vía correspondencia, con la hija de un hombre adinerado y se casa con esta, tras intentar encajar en los trabajos formales solo logra ser despedido una y otra vez, así mediante engaños logra un préstamo y crea un mueso que no tiene éxito hasta que sus hijas le dicen que su mueso exótico necesita algo vivo.
Así, este hombre comienza a buscar fenómenos, mujeres barbudas, hombres tatuados, enanos, personas muy gordas o altas y crea un show musical muy exitoso.
Hasta que narraré la trama, pero ahora les compartiré lo que me gustó de esta película. Primero es de época, ya que se ubica en el siglo XVII, aproximadamente 1817. También los musicales o cada una de las canciones contienen letras inspiradoras y muy buenas coreografías.
Presumo que por tratarse de un musical y desear que la audiencia se sienta más inspirada y esperanzada, que el objetivo de los musicales, el vestuario de cada uno de los personajes del museo, que pasó luego a ser un circo, es muy llamativo.
En cuanto a la trama, a veces hace saltos en el tiempo espectaculares sin mayor explicación, pero uno simplemente los salta o fue lo que yo hice para no complicarme la vida y disfrutar de la película.
Pero aunque es un musical, esta película está basada en la historia real del fundador del circo Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus, quien llevaba por nombre P. T. Barnum, quien fuera un empresario del espectáculo estadounidense, y es recordado por sus entretenidos espectáculos tipo hoax o bulo (falsedad estructurada, para que sea percibida como una verdad, con un propósito definido) y de exhibición de rarezas, lo que se conoce en inglés como freak show.
En el elenco tenemos a Hugh Jackman como P. T. Barnum, Zac Efron como Phillip Carlyle, Michelle Williams como Charity Barnum, Rebecca Ferguson como Jenny Lind, Zendaya como Anne Wheeler, Keala Settle como Lettie Lutz "La mujer barbuda", Yahya Abdul-Mateen II como WD Wheeler, Paul Sparks como James Gordon Bennett, Sam Humphrey como Tom, Natasha Liu Bordizzo como Deng Yan, entre otros.
Aunque intente no contagiarme de ese espíritu motivador, que suele caracterizar de este tipo de películas, fue simplemente imposible y simplemente me relaje y disfrute mi inspirador musical, para luego volver a la realidad, pero debo confesar que luego de verla retome unas tareas que me tenían harta con mayor ánimo y motivación.
En resumen, si deseas ver un musical colorido, con buenas canciones y coreografías, además de una trama interesante e inspiradora, esta película es para ti.

English
The Greatest Showman is a musical that tells us the story of Philips Barnum, who has always felt rejected by society and even less, who seeks at all costs to improve himself and finally be accepted by society.
A lower class boy falls in love with a rich girl, they both end up together but he feels the obligation to give her luxuries and always have by her side what she had when she was little, but her obsession with wealth ends up ruining what she loves most.
Barnum always accompanied his father who was a tailor with his wealthy clients, it is there where they met Charity, he fell in love with her and made her laugh with his jokes, each time becoming closer and sharing their dreams, when Charity's father realizes that he sends her away to a boarding school in order to get her away from Barnum, since he doesn't want his daughter to be with someone like him, but distance is no problem for them.

Furthermore, he has always felt inferior, that she , so she becomes obsessed to show her father that she can make her daughter happy and give her everything she deserves.
It should be noted that Charity loves Phineas as he is, she doesn't need anything to be happy because with him she already is, he just doesn't realize it *
Everything in this couple's life begins to decline when the company where Phineas works goes bankrupt, he decides to mortgage his things and open a new business, a wax doll museum, but no one visits them, his daughters give him the idea of Instead of an “empty” museum, it fills it with life, that is when it occurs to him to form a “circus with phenomena.”
He sells them the idea that they will finally be able to shine and stop being the marginalized. This museum is successful, thus improving their financial situation, but some people get upset because they consider that these “aberrations of nature” should continue to be hidden.
Phineas finally manages to fulfill several of his promises to his wife and daughters, buying them their dream house, the one they visited when they were children. His girls, despite now having money, are rejected, thus damaging Phineas a little more and obsessing him even more. With money and status, his desire to be accepted is increasingly noticeable.
For this reason, Phineas begins to change his show and now looks for a high-society man who is dedicated to producing prestigious works. Philips meets Anne, a beautiful trapeze artist, and is completely infatuated with her. Anne is rejected by society, not for some reason. deformity but because of their skin color, they have a romance but Philips in front of the public feels ashamed of his partner.
Phineas meets a famous European singer who can turn him into a legitimate businessman, since he plans to lead a tour of her in the United States, she seems in love with him, when he finally feels on top he invites his parents from his wife to show them that he achieved what they did not think, but his wife seems upset and uncomfortable in the face of this situation, her husband has changed, he needs more and more approval, he betrays his friends the "freaks" by being ashamed of them, His priorities changed, his family took a backseat and money prioritized all his interests.
Jenny puts Phineas between a rock and a hard place after being rejected by him. If he doesn't accept her, she won't do any more concerts, so she gives him a kiss in the middle of the concert. And when he was caught on camera, her circus is burned by the people who never accepted him, Charity abandons him and goes with her parents, totally agreeing with what her parents told her before they got married.
Phineas realizes and realizes that they were always happy together, they didn't have to change anything, she always loved the man she was, she never had to take anything apart.
I loved this movie, I have always liked musicals so for me that was not a problem, the performances are incredible and I adore the chemistry that Zwndaya and Zac Efron have, and they also brought back very good memories from the time of They at Disney, I know it is not a film for the entire public, but it is very good and it touches on a fairly strong topic, which is social acceptance, it is something that continues to be a strong topic today.

Dirigida por Michael Gracey, quiero resaltar que no es solo una película; es un torbellino de emociones, una celebración del talento, la diversidad y pero sobre todo **la búsqueda de los sueños**. Esta obra cinematográfica nos sumerge en el fascinante mundo de P.T. Barnum, La película inicia con la canción "The Greatest Show", marcando el tono para un viaje emocionante. Hugh Jackman asume el papel de P.T. Barnum, un empresario ambicioso que crea un circo que desafía los estándares sociales de la época. como lo escribi antes esta respaldada por una banda sonora inolvidable, que en cada canción nos sumerge en la vida de los inusuales artistas que se convierten en la esencia del espectáculo.
Directed by Michael Gracey, I want to emphasize that it is not just a movie; it is a whirlwind of emotions, a celebration of talent, diversity and above all the pursuit of dreams. This cinematic work immerses us in the fascinating world of P.T. Barnum. The film opens with the song "The Greatest Show", setting the tone for a thrilling journey. Hugh Jackman takes on the role of P.T. Barnum, an ambitious impresario who creates a circus that defies the social standards of the time. As I wrote earlier, it is backed by an unforgettable soundtrack, which with each song immerses us in the lives of the unusual performers who become the essence of the show.
The Greatest Showman me encanta la manera en que combinan y resaltan la diversidad de cada personaje. Desde Zendaya como Anne, una trapecista enamorada, hasta Keala Settle como Lettie Lutz, la Mujer Barbuda, este film destaca la belleza en la diferencia, siempre he dicho que ***la belleza esta en los ojos de quien la ve*** En un mundo que a menudo se centra en la conformidad y ciertos estandares, que a diario deben derribarse estos estereotipos, la película me recuerda que la riqueza proviene de aceptar y celebrar las singularidades. Además de la trama principal, The Greatest Showman también aborda temas universales como el amor, la superación personal y la importancia de seguir nuestros sueños. La cinematografía colorida y las coreografías son asombrosas cuidaron cada detalle a la perfección
The Greatest Showman I love the way they combine and highlight the diversity of each character. From Zendaya as Anne, a trapeze artist in love, to Keala Settle as Lettie Lutz, the Bearded Woman, this film highlights the beauty in difference, I have always said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder In a world that often focuses on conformity and certain standards, that daily must break down these stereotypes, the film reminds me that richness comes from embracing and celebrating uniqueness. In addition to the main plot, The Greatest Showman also addresses universal themes such as love, self-improvement and the importance of following one's dreams. The colorful cinematography and choreographies are amazing and every detail was taken care of to perfection.
La trama se desarrolla alrededor de la lucha de Barnum por el reconocimiento social y la aceptación, en su búsqueda de éxito, Barnum aprende que el verdadero valor de la vida no está solo en el reconocimiento público, sino en las relaciones y la autenticidad. La película transmite el mensaje increible y podero de que, independientemente de nuestros orígenes, clase social u otros, todos merecemos la oportunidad de brillar y ser aceptados por quienes somos.Ahora bien quiero destacar la banda sonora de la pelicula, esta compuesta por Benj Pasek y Justin Paul, sus canciones como **"This Is Me"** hasta la emotiva **"Rewrite the Stars"** interpretada con Zendaya y Zac Efron, cada una de las cancion se integra a la perfección en la narrativa, resaltando las emociones de los personajes.
The plot revolves around Barnum's struggle for social recognition and acceptance. In his quest for success, Barnum learns that the true value of life is not only in public recognition, but in relationships and authenticity. The film conveys the incredible and powerful message that regardless of our origins, social class or otherwise, we all deserve the opportunity to shine and be accepted for who we are.Now I want to highlight the soundtrack of the film, it is composed by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, their songs like "This Is Me " to the emotional "Rewrite the Stars " performed with Zendaya and Zac Efron, each song is seamlessly integrated into the narrative, highlighting the emotions of the characters.
Finalmente, **The Greatest Showman** es un recordatorio de que nuestras diferencias son nuestras fortalezas y que nuestros sueños merecen perseguirse con valentía, asi como, de la fuerza de la diversidad y la belleza que surge cuando abrazamos nuestras auténticas identidades. Al final del film, nos invita a levantarnos y celebrar lo que nos hace únicos y asi nuestro en cada viaje en busqueda de grandeza
Ultimately, The Greatest Showman is a reminder that our differences are our strengths and that our dreams are worth pursuing with courage, as well as, the strength of diversity and the beauty that emerges when we embrace our authentic identities. At the end of the film, it invites us to rise up and celebrate what makes us unique and thus our own in every journey in pursuit of greatness.
Here I was, thinking of what movie to use and start my summer Cinema streak.
Well, while scrolling through my neverending library of downloaded unwatched films, I came across one I promised myself I would absolutely watch, plus it was the perfect genre to what I was yearning to watch.
So I asked myself..
Dearest seki, why not start your cinema stream with the greatest show?
Plot
This story tells us the tale of show business sensation PT Barnum.
It shows his rise to fame from humble beginnings using to his colorful acts, quick wits, pure determination and ever wide imagination.
I loved every bit of it.
From the beautiful circus acts to the wonderful songs and emotion's felt.
It was just one would expect from the greatest show.
Now there are a few things that I loved exceptionally well in this show.
Here they are...
1. The Cast
This show had a lovely cast list, folks of different nationalities and different places of Fame, both old faces in the movie industry and new, but the one face I was happy to see was this handsome bloke😭🥺
Now normally, I've been a fan of musical's ever since watching the film High School Musical, in my younger years.
So it was a real treat, seeing my long lost actor Zac Efron on here and seeing that age hasn't made him lose his voice nor moves - it may have made it a bit better 😭😫
Ahh I feel my fanboy urges coming back on 😭😭😭
Another special actor that they brought on is the ever talented Zendaya and it was an even better surprise to ship both her and Zac together. The chemistry was mind blowing 😭, the choreography was even better 🤯.
Siri... Find me a trapeze girlfriend 😭😭
Regardless of the love interest, the other characters were just as colorful, entertaining and crucial to the story.
2. The Choreography and Musical Numbers
One beautiful thing about musicals are they're ability to pass on the emotions through their music and dance.
This show had quality dance and song routines and my best was...
With the lovely choreography and voices, they conveyed the story well, shared their emotions and really brought out the true essence of a musical 🥺
3. The Main Character
It wouldn't be a stretch to say PT Barnum was everyone's favorite character in the movie, even me (if we remove Zac from the list😅).
He had the genuine vibe for show business and I feel it just wasn't acting.
Everything he did was so natural and humane.
With his skills he made the audience fall in love with his character, understand his shortcomings and be moved by his feelings when he rose above those shortcomings.
I'm trying my best not to spoil it (not even a little bit) for the unlikely chance that I'm not the last to watch this film, and as such I must end my review here.
These are my more accurate and organized thoughts of The Greatest Showman.
It was an absolute joy to watch and I'm grateful for having come across the movie.
I give it a solid 10 stars and if you haven't watched it...
You're really missing the greatest show.
La música va más allá de solo ser arte sonoro, hay formas en las que es ta es capaz de cambiar la vida de las personas, en este sentido es capaz de llevarnos a otros lugares, mostrarnos no solo un increíble show, sino incluso hacernos partes de este.
Music goes beyond just being sound art, there are ways in which it is able to change people's lives, in this sense it is able to take us to other places, show us not only an incredible show, but even make us part of this.
The Greatest Showman es una película que relata la vida de una persona de clase humilde que busca conquistar su sueño de ser el mejor presentador de circo, donde para lograr sus objetivos busca a las personas más extrañas con peculiaridades para ser mostradas en este donde todos los espectadores puedan quedar fascinados.
The Greatest Showman is a movie that tells the life of a person of humble class who seeks to conquer his dream of being the best circus presenter, where to achieve his goals he looks for the strangest people with peculiarities to be shown in this where all the spectators can be fascinated.
La primera vez que vi esta película casi se me salen las lágrimas de la emoción, la música siempre juega un parte importante en cuanto a la creación de la película, es ta que si sabes de música esta te puede contar la trama sin siquiera darte cuenta, en esta película ocurre una magia interesante que si prestas mucha atención.
The first time I saw this movie I almost cried with emotion, music always plays an important part in terms of the creation of the film, it is that if you know music this can tell you the plot without even realizing it, in this movie an interesting magic happens if you pay attention.
Esta canción desde el primer momento te hace ver lo fascinante que va a ser esta historia, el poder de ejecución y su forma de escritura clásica con elementos pop, la hacen de mis favoritas para recordar y verla como una canción de superación cuando uno se siente un poco desalentado.
This song from the very beginning makes you see how fascinating this story is going to be, the power of execution and its classical writing style with pop elements make it one of my favorites to remember and see it as a song of overcoming when one feels a little discouraged.
Todos tenemos un millón de sueños o tal ve más, buscamos siempre hacerlos posibles a pesar de que las circunstancias no sean o no se vean prometedoras, buscamos la forma hasta poder lograr ese sueño y hacerlo posible.
We all have a million dreams or so, we always look to make them possible despite the circumstances are not or do not look promising, we look for the way to achieve that dream and make it possible.
Recuerdo que esta canción estaba en tendencia hace unos años cuando estaba reciente la película, no vi la película en ese momento, pero esta canción sin duda es más que increíble por su expresividad, además de la proyección que esta da hacia el público, pues requiere cierto nivel de técnica de canto para lograr notas tan exquisitas, a tal puto que los personajes de la película lloraron en esta presentación.
I remember this song was trending a few years ago when the movie was recent, I didn't see the movie at that time, but this song is definitely more than incredible for its expressiveness, in addition to the projection it gives to the public, because it requires a certain level of singing technique to achieve such exquisite notes, to the point that the movie characters cried in this presentation.
De las canciones que más me impactaron no solo por el performance que esta transmite en la película, sino en la potencia vocal de Keala Settle que incluso busque la canción en vivo para ver como cantaba y quede más que maravillado por la forma en al que una canción puede mover los sentimientos de los artistas, el mensaje de esta canción es algo que se tiene que sentir y hacer sentir, algo que está presente con todo puedes ver el video aquí
One of the songs that impacted me the most not only for the performance it transmits in the movie, but for the vocal power of Keala Settle, who even looked for the song live to see how she sang and was more than amazed at the way a song can move the feelings of the artists, the message of this song is something that has to be felt and make you feel, something that is present with everything you can see the videohere.
Hay tantas emociones de superación en esta canción, es más que potente como podemos ser lo que deseamos ser y como las letras se sienten con la música como un todo, la coral hace un trabajo más que maravilloso, en poderoso la atmosfera que se crea en torno a esta canción, y eso que es un ensayo el video mencionado anteriormente. El quebranto en más que poderoso y como llega a todos en esa sala.
There are so many overcoming emotions in this song, it's more than powerful how we can be what we want to be and how the lyrics feel with the music as a whole, the choir does a more than wonderful job, in powerful the atmosphere that is created around this song, and that is an essay the aforementioned video. The break is more than powerful and how it reaches everyone in that room.
The Greatest Showman es una película totalmente recomendada, en mi caso más por la música y lo que transmite, ya que sé el potencial que esta tiene para mover los sentimientos de cualquiera, esto va más allá de ser un show, es una pieza artística.
The Greatest Showman is a highly recommended movie, in my case more for the music and what it conveys, since I know the potential it has to move the feelings of anyone, this goes beyond being a show, it is an artistic piece.
How many humans are on earth? how many languages and tribes? the really difficult thing about diversity is, "how to bring together such a gigantic number of things?"
But, music did.
Some of us definitely have
hear about, human emotions are easiest to touch with songs. Songs can make people laugh, cry, get excited, and even angry. As soon as that music travels to the heart.
The Greatest Showman is here as a memory refresher for lovers of musical series like Glee or High School Musical.
However, if the two that I mentioned above are fiction, The Greates Showman is presented by Michael Gracey as an autobiographical film whose inspiration is one of the richest men in America in the 19th century, Phineas Taylor Barnum.
Presenting a series of other big artists such as Zac Efron and Zendaya, The Greates Showman managed to become the fifth best-selling musical drama in the world.
The story begins when young Barnum joins his father on a visit to a conglomerate family that has a daughter named Charity. Feeling attracted to young Barnum, Charity wants to be friends with him, but the difference in social status between Charity's wealthy father and Barnum's mere tailor makes this a fundamental problem. The cliche theme between the rich and the poor is wrapped in melodious songs. Making he Greatest Showman worthy of being a watching list for families.
Barnum's brilliant ideas gave birth to a best-selling circus of its time. The motive of revenge against his wife's parents who seemed to condescend to him because they came from the anal of a tailor, Barnum racked his brains to be able to make the show interesting so that he could win the coffers of money that he could prove to Charity's parents. Create a "freaks" circus.
Barnum invites Charles Stratton - a miniature human (Sam Humphrey) whom he accidentally meets at a bank, then Lettie Lutz (Keala Settle) - a bearded woman who has a melodious voice, and other "freaks" to fruition.
All the townspeople flocked to watch Baarnum's performance. Celebrating humanity in the context of equality for all humans is really felt here.
As an autobiographical film that tells the stories of successful people, Greates Showman has a fairly fast pace and awkward story exploration.
A story that seems rushed to finish and a climax that doesn't feel memorable in my opinion.
However, because I was interested in the original soundtrack of this film, especially Keala Settle's acting power when delivering "This Is Me", it really reached my heart, I still enjoyed it until it was finished.
Moral Message
_____
The Greates Showman presents several interesting points that I can learn from, including:
From the character Phineas Taylor Barnum, I learned that the success aimed at the revenge plan will result in hurting the people around us
Popularity dazzles our eyes, so we must be careful not to stumble and fall
how successful we are, how rich we are, in the end we realize, that a family that loves us with all its heart is the most comfortable place to go home.
Ok, Hive ... that's all my review about this film, I hope it helps you find something before or after watching it. have a nice day!

›The Greatest Showman is the greatest movie (Review)90@fabian981887d
Hello to all the community of film and television lovers. Today I want to make a review of this magnificent movie that after so long I could see, sincerely this is the quintessence of the movies I've seen, as it integrates everything that a good movie should show.
To begin with let's talk about the technical aspects of the movie. The greatest showman was directed by Michael Gracey and released in 2017, it follows the real-life story of the founder of the famous American circus Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus, the film has a very high-quality cast, for example, we have Hugh Jackman who plays P. T. Barnum, Zac Efron who gives life to Phillip Carlyle and Zendaya as Anne Wheeler.
The Greatest Showman tells the story of the beginning of the great Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus and his attempt to grow up in a world where his show is not so accepted. P. T. Barnum is a boy who comes from a very inferior social class and has always been marginalized because of that, his father who is a tailor takes him to accompany him to do a job in the house of an important client and it is there where he meets Charity and falls in love with her, but Charity's father rejects him for being poor but they do not give up and with love and dreams, they manage to marry when they are older.
The problems begin when P. T. Barnum is voted out of the accounting firm where he works, so with 2 daughters and a wife he sets the goal of giving them everything they need, so he cunningly gets a loan from the bank for $10K and buys a wax museum with a macabre style, but it starts to go wrong because people do not like what he offers in his museum.
So he comes up with the idea of showing a Freak Show, humans with deformities or exceptional characteristics. So he looks for the bearded woman, the world's most obese man, the world's tallest man, the world's most tattooed man, the dog man, among other artists.
The most valuable thing the movie brings to the table is that no matter your characteristics or differences, you are worth the same as everyone else and you can be someone who can go far if you believe in yourself and put your fears aside. That idea was the one that convinced the artists to join him and his project.
And his company starts to go great, as everyone loves the show and Barnum starts to earn a lot of money, but for him, it is not enough because he is swayed by the critics who say that his show is worthless because it is not suitable for the upper class of society. So Barnum tries to find talent for the upper class with the help of Phillip Carlyle who is a famous composer of works for the upper class but he is broke, so Barnum starts to gain an upper-class audience but he forgets his friends from the show.
Then, he meets Jenny Lind a famous opera singer, whom he hires and they start touring all over the country, and after 93 concerts, Jenny cancels her contract with Barnum and he ends up with nothing and back to his family and the show. But upon arriving in her hometown, she learns that the establishment has been burned down, and the culprits are a mob of drunks who were always harassing the cast of the show, calling them names and even spitting on them.
After this incident he has nothing left because he is an insatiable and greedy man, his wife leaves him, his friends from the show distance themselves from him, the bank repossesses everything and he is left on the ground just as it all started, there Barnum reflects and realizes that he was going too far for greed and to gain the acceptance of people who did not care about him.
So he decides to get his wife and friends back from the circus, but they have no money to rebuild the building. But with the help of Phillip Carlyle they manage to buy some land on the docks and with new tents they manage to make their show bigger and better and take it to the next level. Then the movie ends with Barnum attending a ballet recital of his daughters with his wife whom he loves and finally gives her everything he promised her, to be with her and dream together regardless of material things.
What I liked
Well, what can I say, everything that this movie teaches or shows, I loved it very much, because it teaches values that are being lost nowadays. For example, it teaches:
Do not judge people by their appearance: we saw that those who were called freaks were people with exceptional gifts, the bearded woman had an incredible voice, the fattest man in the world had a big heart and the smallest man in the world could brighten the day. All around us we get people like this, who are marginalized by society because of their color, culture, characteristics, language. They are treated like animals and even persecuted, but if we look beyond appearances we will find exceptional people.
Money is not the most important thing: Here we see how Barnum focuses all his life to try to give his wife a comfortable life with many luxuries, but by pursuing that dream he almost loses everything What is valuable, something that all the money in the world can't buy. In real life we see that happen, people who dedicate countless hours to work and pursue a dream, but forget that the time you dedicate to your family and those you love is worth much more than all the money in the world, because when you leave, those memories are the ones that remain.
Social classes, another way of discrimination: Something that is very marked in the movie is the social segregation that exists in the world, where the less privileged people in a material sense, lack the opportunities in life, there is a scene in the movie where Phillip Carlyle (Zac Efron) and Anne Wheeler (Zendaya) go to the theater together, but Philip's parents to see him with someone of a lower class, horribly denigrate Anne. Nowadays we see that many people around us and more than everything on the internet, think that because they have a lot of money they can treat badly whoever they want or feel superior, that is wrong because we are all equal and money does not save anyone from the great evil that all humanity suffers: Death.
One last thing I loved about this great movie was the soundtrack, it's the best I've ever heard, it's a mix of musical and lyrics with a powerful message, here you have the official soundtrack of the movie, 13 songs that you will enjoy a lot:
I think it was that they didn't tell more in-depth the story of all the characters of Barnum's cast, of course I know that the story revolves around Barnum mainly but if they had only done that the story would have been a little more complete, also to know more about Philips character and how this movie is taken from real life, even if they were just showing how it all ended. But other than that it's a wonderful movie.
In conclusion, The Greatest Showman is a wonderful movie and I assure you that you will not regret watching it, it is highly recommended and I want to give it a score of 9/10.
Thank you very much for reading this review, I hope you liked it, the images used here are not of my authorship and that's why below I leave the links from where I took them, again thank you very much, and see you until the next one.
Hola a toda la comunidad de amantes del cine y la television. Hoy quiero hacer un review de esta magnifica pelicula que despues de tanto tiempo pude ver, sinceramente esta es la quintaescencia delas peliculas que he visto, ya que integran todo lo que una buena pelicula debe mostrar.
Para empezar hablemos de los aspectos tecnicos de la pelicula. The greatest showman fue dirigida por Michael Gracey y estrenada en el 2017, sigue la historia de la vida real, del fundador del famoso circo estadounidence Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus, la pelicula cuenta con un elenco muy a la altura, por ejemplo tenemos a Hugh Jackman que interpreta a P. T. Barnum, Zac Efron que le da vida Phillip Carlyle y a Zendaya como Anne Wheeler.
The Greatest Showman cuenta la historia del inicio del gran circo Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus y su intento por crecer en un mundo donde no es tan aceptado su espectaculo. P. T. Barnum es un niño que viene de una clase social muy inferior y que siempre ha sido marginado por eso, su padre que es sastre se lo lleva a que lo acompañe a hacer un trabajo en la casa de un cliente importante y es alli donde conoce a Charity y se queda enamorado de ella, pero el padre de Charity lo rechaza por ser pobre pero ellos no se rinden y con amor y sueños logran casarse cuando son mayores.
Los problemas comienzan cuando a P. T. Barnum lo votan de la empresa de contadores donde trabaja, asi que con 2 hijas y una esposa se pone la meta de poder darles todo lo que necesitan, asi que con astucia consigue un prestamo del banco por $10K y compra un museo de cera con un estilo macabro, pero le empieza a ir mal ya que las personas no les gusta lo que el ofrece en su museo.
Asi que se le ocurre la idea de mostrar un espectaculo de Freak Show, humanos con deformidades o con caracteristicas excepcionales. Asi que busca a la mujer barbuda, el hombre mas obeso del mundo, el hombre mas alto del mundo, el hombre mas tatuado del mundo, el hombre perro, entre otros artistas.
Lo mas valioso que aporta la pelicula es que sin importar tus caracteristicas o diferencias, tu vales igual que todos y tu puedes ser alguien que llege lejos si crees en ti y dejas los miedos a un lado. Esa idea fue con la que convencio a los artistas a unise a el y su proyecto
Y su empresa empieza a ir de maravilla, ya que el show le encanta a todos y barnum empieza a ganar mucho dinero, pero para el no es suficiente ya que se deja llevar por la critica que dice que su show no tiene valor porque no es apto para la clase alta de la sociedad. Asi que Barnum, trata de buscar a talentos para la clase alta con la ayuda de Phillip Carlyle que es un famoso compositor de obras para la clase alta pero que esta quebrado, asi que Barnum comienza a ganr un publico de la clase alta pero se va olvidando de sus amigos del show.
Luego, conoce a Jenny Lind una famosa cantante de musica opera, la cual contrata y comienzan a hacer giras por todo el pais, y luego de 93 conciertos, Jenny cancela su contrato con Barnum y este termina sin nada y de vuelta con su familia y el show. Pero al llegar a su ciudad se entera de que le han quemado el establecimiento, y los culpables son una chusma de borrachos que siempre estaban astidiando al elenco del show, llamandolos de maneras insultantes y hasta escupiendolos.
Luego de este incidente no le queda nada, ya que por ser un hombre insasiable y avarisioso, su esposa lo deja, sus amigos del show se distancian, el banco le embarga todo y queda en el suelo justamente como empezo todo, alli Barnum reflexiona y se da cuenta de que estaba yendo demaciado lejos por codicia y para lograr la aceptacion de personas a quienes el no le importaban.
Asi que decide recuperar a su esposa y a sus amios del circo, pero no tienen dinero para reconstruir el edificio. Pero con la ayuda de Phillip Carlyle logran comprar unas tierras en los muelles y con nuevas carpas logran hacer mucho mejor y mas grande su espectaculo llevandolo a un siguiente nivel. Luego la pelicula termina con Barnum asistiendo a un recital de ballet de sus hijas junto con su esposa a quien ama y finalmente le da todo le que le prometio, estar con ella y soñar juntos sin importar las cosas materiales.
Lo que me gusto
Pues que puedo decir, todo lo que esta pelicula enseña o muestra me encanto muchisimo, ya que enseña valores que se estan perdiendo hoy en dia. Por ejemplo enseña:
No juzgar a las personas por su apariencia: vimos que a los que denominaban fenomenos eran personas con dones ecepcionales, la mujer barbuda tenia una voz increible, el hombre mas gordo del mundo tenia un gran corazon y el hombre mas pequeño del mundo podia alegrar el dia. A nuestro al rededor conseguimos a personas asi, que son marginadas por la sociedad por su color, cultura, caracteristicas, idioma. SOn tratados como animales e incluso perseguidos, pero si vemos mas alla que solo las apariencias nos encontraremos a personas ecepcionales.
El dinero no es lo mas importante: Aqui vemos como Barnum se enfoca toda la vida a tratar de darle a su esposa una vida comoda y con muchos lujos, pero por perseguir ese sueño casi pierde todo Lo que es realmente valioso, algo que ni todo el dinero del mundo puede comprar. En la vida real vemos que pasa eso, personas que se dedican incontables horas a trabajar y perseguir un sueño, pero olvidan que el tiempo que le dediques a tu familia y los que amas vale mucho mas que todo el dinero del mundo, ya que cuando uno se va, esos recuerdos son los que quedn.
Las clases sociales, otra manera de discriminacion: Algo que se ve muy marcado en la pelicula es la segregacion social que existe en el mundo, donde las personas menos privilegiadas en sentido material, carecen de las oportunidades en la vida, hay una excena en la pelicula donde Phillip Carlyle (Zac Efron) y Anne Wheeler (Zendaya) van al teatro juntos, pero los padres de Philip al verlo con alguien de clase inferior, denigran a anne de una manera horrible. Actualmente vemos eso, muchas personas a nuestro alrededor y mas que todo en internet, piensan que por tener mucho dinero pueden tratan mal a quienes quieran o sentirse superior, eso esta mal ya que todos somos iguales y el dinero no salva a ningunno del gran mal que toda la humanidad padece: La muerte.
Una ultima cosa que ame de esta grandiosa pelicula fue su soundtrack, es el mejor que he escuchado, ya que es una mezcla de musical y letras con un mensaje poderoso, aca te dejo el soundtrack oficial de la pelicula, 13 canciones que disfrutaras mucho:
Pienso que fue que no cntaran mas a fondo la historia de todos los personajes del elenco de Barnum, claro se que la historia gira entorno a Barnum principalmente pero si solo hubieran hecho eso la historia fuera estado un poco mas completa, tambien conocer mas al personaje de Philips y como esta pelicula es tomada de la vida real, aunque sea fueran mostrado como termino todo. Pero fuera de eso es una pelicula maravillosa.
En conclucion, The Greatest Showman es una pelicla maravillosa y yo te aseguro de que no te arrepentiras de verla, es altamente recomendada y le quiero dar una puntuacion de 9/10.
Muchas gracias por leer esta reseña, espero que te haya gustado, las imagenes usadas aqui no son de mi autoria y por eso aca abajo dejo los enlaces de donde las tome, de nuevo muchsa grcias y nos vemos hasta la proxima.
Film yang diperankan oleh Hugh Jackam ini merupakan film bergenre musical ini yang diangkat dari kisah nyata pendiri sirkus pertama. Film ini bercertita tentang Barnum yang diperankan oleh Hugh Jackman yang mampu membuat pertunjukan hebat dan fenomenal pada 1840an. Kisah ini bermula ketika Barnum kecil yang ditinggal mati oleh ayahnya harus berjuang hidup di tengah kerasnya masyarakat New York.
Cinta pada kekasihnya Charity Hallet yang diperankan Michelle Williams yang merupakan anak dari kalangan kelas atas membuatnya bertekad untuk menjadi sukses. Dan pada akhirnya ketika barnum mulai menapakan kakinya pada kesuksesan, Barnum pun berhasil menikahi Charity dan memiliki dua orang anak.
Terinspirasi dari ide kedua anaknya, Barnum mulai berniat mengumpulkan orang orang “aneh” yang ada di kota New York. Kemudian dia mengadakan pertunjukan di sebuah gedung museum pertunjukan yang dibelinya yang pada akhirnya pertunjukan yang dilakukannya dengan orang orang “aneh tersebut menjadi fenomenal dan pembicaraan semua orang. Dengan begitu, Barnum menjadi salah satu pengusaha yang sukses di kota New York saat itu.
Film ini sangat bagus mulai dari tatanan sound, tampilan visual yang bagus walaupun penggunaan teknologi CGI yang digunakan masih terlihat kasar tertutupi dengan adegan adegan yang dilakukan oleh pemerannya. Pemeran pemerannya pun sangat keren dalam membawakan peran mereka masing-masing. Penonton akan dibuat hanyut dalam suasana perjuangan, rasa cinta harapan dan amarah yang menurut saya berhasil dibawakan oleh para pemainnya.
Koreografi dibarengi dengan music music yang khas drama musical membuat film ini benar benar sangat bagus. Apalagi kalian yang menyukai drama musical pasti akan terpesona dengan adegan adaegan yang ditampilkan dalam film. Pesona yang terdapat dalam film ini seolah olah kita menonton video music dengan durasi hampir 2 jam.
Di film ini juga terdapat beberapa adegan yang memperlihatkan bagaimana kita bisa memaksimalkan potensi yang ada pada diri kita dengan mencitai diri kita apa adanya tanpa memperdulikan perkataan orang lain disekitar kita.
›Film Review: 'The Greatest Showman' (2017) # Not often a musical film inspires me@alies22817d
Not often a musical film inspires me like what the Greatest Showman did. The film is cheesy and cliché, but I don't mind. Rows of songs and the energy of the performer are more than enough to cover the lack of a plot. It's nice to see spectacular and touching musical sequences presented one by one in front of your eyes. This film is proof that the quality of a musical depends on the songs in it.
I don't know much about musicals. Either where, plot or song first. But I'm pretty sure that The Greatest Showman's plot was built on the song. The story is conditioned to fit the song that was made before by Benj Pasek & Justin Paul, who won Oscar last year through La La Land. The plot is just an excuse for the film to present musical numbers. So when it says that this film is based on a true story, we shrug our shoulders. We know that director Michael Gracey only used the premise and created their own story. Is he loyal to the original story? I'm sorry, but I don't care.
The Greatest Showman should be a biography of P.T. Barnum, a 19th-century showman who could be considered the creator of the first circus. However, the film is so wild and excited that it may be synonymous with the circus itself. The film looks like a stage musical theater which is packed into a Hollywood film. Barnum had stated that the audience did not mind being cheated because they were having fun. Presumably this also applies to the film. He doesn't care about logic or character as long as the audience stomps to the beat.
To make sure we got entangled from the start, the film immediately opened the track "The Greatest Showman", where Hugh Jackman, in a mayorian costume, danced and sang with a circus troupe accompanied by a beat of beat music that promised something grandiose but successfully accomplished. "This is everything you want, everything you need".
He is P.T. Barnum. Although born from a poor family, Barnum had big dreams and maybe also a taste that was commensurate, because from a young age he had a crush on a rich girl named Charity. Barnum was determined to give him a decent life. Through a musical number, they suddenly became adults and became Hugh Jackman and Michelle Williams who already had two children.
Barnum office work. But not for a long time because the company suddenly went bankrupt. No longer afraid of losing anything, Barnum risked everything to open the museum. When this effort also failed, he again bet by turning his museum into a show for "strange people", ranging from dwarf men (Sam Humphrey), bearded women who have melodious voices (Keala Settle), heaviest humans, tallest humans, hairy humans, tattooed humans, to acrobats and animal shows. Exaggerating facts doesn't matter, because that's how Barnum sells.
In order to be more successful, Barnum recruited Phillip Carlyle (Zac Efron), a theater producer who had an elite association circle which later introduced him to the opera singer, Jenny Lind (Rebecca Ferguson). Barnum's meeting with Phillip took place in a bar which was presented in a musical scene involving beer thrown here and there with precise choreography and timing. While Jenny fascinates Barnum through the melancholy song "Never Enough".
Jenny opened the way for Barnum to enter the upper class environment while winning the hearts of critics. But on the other hand, he began to ignore his wife, child and circus. Will Barnum's circus be destroyed? Hmm, you know better. There are some slightly dark elements waiting ahead, but The Greatest Showman chooses not to linger so that it can provide a safe spectacle for all family members. The film makes Barnum a noble person, though a little capitalist. For him the circus is not just entertainment, but also a place to reach dreams.
Jackman plays his character with a passionate spirit and a face that is almost always happy. Understandably, this is indeed the passion project. His singing ability need not be debated anymore, because he once played (and he played and sang well) in Les Miserables. In fact, Jackman began his career in the musical world. He even got a Tony Award trophy, a special award for theater.
The film is about 105 minutes long, while the total song is 11 songs. If reduced by credit, it can be concluded that almost every 10 minutes we will be presented with a musical number. And this is good. Films give us enough pauses to breathe and prepare ourselves to make goose bumps again. The most striking song is "This Is Me" which was blown away by the circus members when they were ostracized. But my favorite is "Rewrite the Stars", where Efron dances with Zendaya through the trapeze in an empty circus tent. This brief moment sweetly illustrates the romance between the two.
This film did not arouse me because of the drama. I was touched precisely because of the songs. The film is composed of splendid singing, dancing and energy, where there isn't much else in the middle. In one scene, theater critics told Barnum that what he did was not art. The Greatest Showman is not an art film. He is not the highest class of cinema. But rest assured that he will give pleasure to the audience. This is the most appropriate form of criticism resistance. Barnum certainly agreed.
›The Greatest Showman (film): Much better than i expected70@gooddream2886d
I am not a big fan of musical films. I always get tired of them and switch them off early. This was even true when I was at first excited that one of my all time favorite Broadway musicals, Les Miserables, was turned into a big-budget movie. Therefore, I came into this expecting to not like it. I liked it.
Hugh Jackman stars as P.T. Barnum, who I am certain most people can remember, was the pioneer of the a new form of entertainment in what would eventually be called the Barnum and Bailey circus. As a child we looked forward to this exact company coming to Nebraska every year. It was really something else. I don't know if there are any pictures of these events, i presume there are, but this was long before digital cameras existed so you'll just have to take my word for it.
I nearly turned the movie off because the musical numbers happen very frequently and like i said, I am not a fan of this sort of thing. However, the songs are actually pretty good and even though I am a metal fan i found them to be wonderfully written.
I would imagine that the choreography was incredibly difficult to pull off and I would actually be interested to know how long it took them to work that out. I would image a long time. Some of the CGI is pretty poor such as when the elephants and tigers are put into sequences, but that is easy to look past as it is only part of the film for a few minutes.
The movie received some negative press because the movie doesn't follow the real-life story of Barnum very closely at all. I was (and still am) unaware of the real history, but i suppose for the average audience member it doesn't really matter since I don't think the intention was ever to turn this musical into a historically accurate musical-biopic. Sometimes I think real critics are trying too hard to be harsh on a film.
Whatever, these producers cried all the way to the bank because the film grossed $440 million on a budget of just over $80 million.
If you find musical / dance films to be stupid, give this one a shot anyway, because i hate them, and I enjoyed this film. I did dock a few points because the movie drags on at parts and I have to admit that I skipped a little bit of it.
Review of the musical movie "The Great Showman" without spoilers.
The Great Showman is a film of the musical genre released in December 2017, the first work of the new director Michael Gracey, this film is suitable for all pubic and arrives at the movie theaters by 20th Century Fox. Set in the 19th century it is the biography of PT Barnum, creator of the Barnum Circus and founder of the most famous and oldest circus in the United States, the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus.
It is the story of P. T. Barnum (Hugh Jackman) the son of a tailor who after the death of his father must grow up in the streets of New York, despite hunger and hardship believes in himself, in his dreams and abilities. Poverty is not limited to your creativity, it is agile and has a great power of conviction, with your intelligence and ability to lie you will achieve the road towards the realization of your dreams.
Mr. Barnum after being dismissed from his job has the idea of making a circus with the participation of people with particular characteristics or congenital deformities, at that time these people had to live hidden because they were usually sacrificed at birth. A show like this that brought together all kinds of human oddities was something socially challenging, a scourge that Barnum must fight.
The first minutes of filming are purely musical but for our tranquility after this time the story takes its cinematic direction with conventional performances, developing a script that makes us feel identified with the life of the protagonist, the plot makes us reflect about dreams when confronted with ethics and family with a message of self-esteem, and acceptance. The argument touches sensitive issues such as discrimination, classism and racism in a musical context.
The actors Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Zendaya and Rebecca Ferguson give us extraordinary performances, in a film so dynamic and fast that if you blink you lose a good part, it is entertaining and after 105 minutes of the film you are eager to see more, because This type of movies very little are made. It is a refreshing option in sight we can see majestic shows and some beautiful love stories. If you like romance and musicals this movie is for you, otherwise I do not recommend it.
The best of the production is costumes, dances, songs, set design and photography. Outside the circus the photograph is sober, the pastel colors stand out but inside the circus it changes to a festival of colors and lights that resemble fire, in addition to contrasting the colors in an original way the photograph also takes care of highlighting the beauty of the feminine faces and the elegance of the knights.
The dances are very elaborate, demonstrate the outstanding skills of the dancers, modern and with contemporary music that in the context of a period film is strange, but this contrast makes allusion that PT Barnum was ahead of his time and that the show that presented was new. The songs are compositions of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul the authors of the soundtrack of La La Land.
With this film Hugh Jackman is reunited with his roots, his beginnings in acting were in the musical theater before becoming Wolverine, with his song and dance he shows us that he has not lost faculties, because he does not become opaque next to the new king of the musicals Zac Efron, both do incredibly well. Hugh Jackman was at all times involved in the production, since it was a personal project, return to its roots and change the way you see the film musicals, which are usually long and heavy.
Revisión de la película musical “El Gran Showman” sin spoilers.
El Gran Showman es un filme del género musical estrenado en diciembre de 2017, primera obra del novel director Michael Gracey, esta película es apta para todo púbico y llega a las salas de cine por parte de 20th Century Fox. Ambientada en el siglo IXX nos presenta la biografía de P. T. Barnum creador del Circo Barnum y fundador del que sería el circo más famoso y antiguo de Estados Unidos el Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus.
Es la historia de P. T. Barnum (Hugh Jackman) el hijo de un sastre que tras la muerte de su padre debe crecer en las calles de Nueva York, a pesar del hambre y las penurias cree en sí mismo, en sus sueños y sus capacidades. La pobreza no es una limítate en su creatividad, es ágil y tiene un gran poder de convencimiento, con su inteligencia y habilidad para mentir logrará conseguir el camino hacia la realización de sus sueños.
El señor Barnum luego de ser despedido de su trabajo tiene la idea de hacer un circo con la participación de personas con características particulares o con deformidades congénitas, en esa época esas personas debían vivir ocultas porque generalmente eran sacrificados al nacer. Un espectáculo como este que reuniera todo tipo de rarezas humanas era algo desafiante socialmente, flagelo con el que Barnum deberá luchar.
Los primeros minutos de rodaje son netamente musicales pero para nuestra tranquilidad luego de este tiempo la historia toma su rumbo cinematográfico con actuaciones convencionales, desarrollando un guion que nos hace sentir identificados con la vida del protagonista, la trama nos hacer reflexionar acerca de los sueños y la superación cuando se confrontan con la ética y la familia con un mensaje de autoestima, y aceptación. El argumento toca temas sensibles como la discriminación, el clasismo y el racismo en un contexto musical.
Los actores Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Zendaya y Rebecca Ferguson nos dan unas actuaciones extraordinarias, en una película tan dinámica y rápida que si parpadeas te pierdes buena parte, es entretenida y pasados los 105 minutos del filme quedas con ganas de ver más, porque este tipo de películas muy poco se hacen. Es una opción refrescante a la vista podemos ver espectáculos majestuosos y unas lindas historias de amor. Si te gusta el romance y los musicales esta película es para ti, de lo contrario no te la recomiendo.
Lo mejor de la producción es el vestuario, los bailes, las canciones, la escenografía y la fotografía. Fuera del circo la fotografía es sobria, se destacan los colores pasteles pero dentro del circo cambia a un festival de colores y luces que se asemejan al fuego, además de contrastar los colores de una forma original la fotografía también se ocupa de destacar la belleza de los rostros femeninos y la elegancia de los caballeros.
Los bailes son muy elaborados, demuestran las destacadas destrezas de los bailarines, modernos y con música contemporánea que en el contexto de una película de época resulta extraño, pero este contraste hace alusión a que P. T. Barnum estaba adelantado para su tiempo y que el espectáculo que presentaba era novedoso. Las canciones son composiciones de Benj Pasek y Justin Paul los autores de la banda sonora de La La Land.
Con esta película Hugh Jackman se reencuentra con sus raíces, sus inicios en la actuación fueron en el teatro musical antes de convertirse en Wolverine, con su canto y baile nos demuestra que no ha perdido facultades, pues no desentona al lado del nuevo rey de los musicales Zac Efron ambos lo hacen increíblemente bien. Hugh Jackman fue en todo momento participe de la producción, puesto que era un proyecto personal, volver a sus raíces y cambiar la forma como son vistos los musicales de cine, que generalmente son largos y pesados.
Este musical trata sobre la vida de P.T. Barnum, está interpretado por nuestro Hugh Jackman: luego de ser despedido de su trabajo, él junto a su esposa Charity (Michelle Williams) y sus pequeñas decide comprar un viejo museo y con el tiempo lo convierte en un Museo, circo y Freak Show donde estaban los seres más raros e inusuales de Norteamérica, en el que se veían ciertos raros personajes famosos como la mujer barbuda o el gigante Irlandés. A medida que pasan los años Barum se convierte un exitoso empresario propietario del circo Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus, e hizo giras alrededor del mundo y llego a presentar su espectáculo incluso ante la reina Victoria.
Aunque la cinta nos muestra una visión bastante superflua y apresurada de la vida del empresario,nos indica que hay algo más allá de com nos vemos físicamente y que en el mundo hay un lugar para todos. También nos muestra una obra llena de entretenimiento, música, baile, acrobacias, colores, romance y la reaparición en musicales de Zac Efron como el socio de Barnum, el actor Phillip Carlyle.
El director Michael Gracey nos trae una obra que pareciera salida directamente de Brodway, la fotografía de Seamus McGarvey con una paleta de colores brillantes que nos trae sensación de circo. ¿Les comenté que era un musical? Obvio que lo hice, la música me encantó, la anacronía de mostrar una historia del siglo XIX con música del siglo XXI dio en el toque, de hecho me recordó bastante a Moulin Rouge. Ganó el Golden Globe como mejor canción Original y estuvo nominada al óscar en el mismo renglón con la canción “This is me”. Tuvo ciertos detalles en la parte de edición de sonido que no me cuadraron: algunos actores parecían estar un mal Lyp Sync, parecido a las superproducciones que se hacían antes en el concurso miss Venezuela (ja, ja, ja). Hugh Jackman y Zac Efron son unos veteranos en musicales y estuvieron a la altura.
Para finalizar les comento que es una película bastante entretenida, sencilla y pueden verla en familia. Por acá les dejo el tráiler de la película y además la canción ganadora del Golden globe Cantada en Inglés por Keala Settle.
Se me puso la piel de gallina con esta canción interpretada por Kaele Settle. Les dedico esta canción a todos los emprendedores de la plataforma, esta obra es para nosotros. Un abrazo fuerte.
Espero que les haya gustado mi post de hoy; no olviden comentarme y seguirme.
Por aquí les dejo algunas críticas de otras películas:
›Review Film: THE GREATEST SHOWMAN (2017)79@film-trail3041d
Please go to Google, then type "Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus" in the image search field. You will see dancers and clowns wearing colorful costumes, animals performing attractions, stage with a lively artistic order. The circus has stopped operating since May 21, 2017. The film debuted director Michael Gracey is trying to turn a similar splendor on the big screen, throwing the audience to 146 years ago when P. T. Barnum founded Ringling Bros.. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, also called "The Greatest Show on Earth", Rather than authenticity, the Barnum show (played by Hugh Jackman through unchallenged charisma) puts the magic behind the public to be stunned, dazzled, laughing. "Your audience is happier when you come out than when you get in," says Phillip Carlyle (Zac Efron), the playwright who will become Barnum's partner. Festive and fun entertainment. That's the goal, no matter though a little trick needs to be applied: lumping a man's stomach with a pillow, putting stilts on the man's highest leg. Not entirely fraudulent, just exaggerating in the name of entertainment.
The Greatest Showman carries the same goal, so the musical is the right choice, because the formulaik biopic will not be able to represent the orgy in the Barnum stage. To achieve its goal, Pasek & Paul wrote songs staged with stomping, boisterous by instruments as well as the vocal rumble of the cast. The film realizes the potential to be a festive entertainment, making it strive (always) to pursue the festivity since The Greatest Show as the opening number rings, rather than sorting by emotional precision. The row of songs that are like a versionoverproduced from Fall Out Boy are hard to distinguish from one another too polished too smoothly in the studio, tipping off the original emotions of the actor.
It is undeniable that the decorative décor that paints the circus at the peak of its popularity invites clicking awe. Seamus McGarvey's aerial cinematography (Atonement, The Avengers) has more than enough imagery to realize visionary performance of P. T. Barnum. The range of players is also full of totality handling the complexity of each choreography. Zendaya as Anne, a trapeze artist, is easy to fall in love with, while Lettie Lutz the Bearded Woman invites us to cheer for her call. But imagine watching La La Land consisting entirely of epilogue moments. Phenomenal, but the magic does not work maximally when presented continuously.
This Is Me and Rewrite the Stars are the most successful musical numbers, because they contain more than splendor: against segregation and expression of love. Barnum and his wife Charity (Michelle Williams) talks about love, but the full moon in the sky and the dance of Williams through the sheets of white sheets are not as intimate or romantic as the exchange of flavors Anne and Phillip. Anne floated lightly on the ceiling, as if she wanted to fly away from Phillip, but her gaze was hard to escape from a distinguished white man. While Phillip continues to struggle to reach his love.
The manuscripts by Jenny Bicks and Bill Condon may not provide space to permeate the ups and downs of Barnum's tumultuous life as well as controversy, but enough to make the audience as understanding. He collects marginalized people, providing them with the opportunity to be highlighted like a star, because he himself is underestimated. She fought for reluctance to see her beloved daughters as miserable as she was, though this dragged Barnum on the dark side of her success. Barnum presents entertainment, invites the audience to laugh, tired of finding a daily life that is constrained by the gloom.
RATING (7,9/10)

›The Greatest Showman--Movie Review--The Rare Hollywood Word-of-Mouth Success Story@mctiller3081d
The Greatest Showman is the rare example of a word of mouth success of a movie in Hollywood.
The movie released December 20 and had a rocky start to mediocre reviews and an opening of only $8.8 million, but then it did something almost unheard of in modern Hollywood, it made more money the second weekend. A lot more. It grossed 15 million the second weekend, nearly doubling the first weekend. Most movies go the opposite direction, the second weekend you get a huge drop off.
The question is, why is this?
The movie is simple minded. It doesn’t tell the exact history. Kinda glosses over the fact P.T. Barnum exploited a lot of his workers.
But dang it.
It’s a fun movie.
Hugh Jackman plays P.T. Barnum from the age of 20 or so, until he’s in his mid 40s. Congrats to Mr. Jackman for still being able to be cast as a 20-year-old.
Barnum is the sin of tailor, where he meets his future wife, Charity Hallett, in the home of one of his father’s clients. But when his father unexpectedly passes away and Barnum is now a homeless orphan. But somehow he still keeps in touch with Charity.
Years later as a young man, Barnum comes to Charity’s family to ask her for hand in marriage, and her father reminds him that she would come crawling back soon. P.T. and Charity, played by Michelle Williams, build their life as the standard poor but happy family. Even on the day his loses his job, because his boss’s business went bankrupt.
Barnum is working diligently as a number cruncher, is that job I don’t know, but it’s what he does, when he tries to sell the idea to his boss the idea of a flying machine. The boss ignores in him and proceeds to tell him everyone is dismissed because the company’s fleet of ships is now at the bottom of ocean.
Now employed, Barnum uses his free time to dream up a museum of strange things. Using the some stolen manifest of the fleet from his previous boss, he uses that to secure a loan from the bank.
His museum of strange wax figures is not successful. Coming home depressed one evening his daughter tells him he needs live things in his museum. He drafts his first performer a twenty-two year old man who suffers from dwarfism. Barnum continues to draft people to his cause, by using the large posters he sends out the word that he is looking for people to be in his show. People of all different attributes arrive. Fat people, tall people, people covered in hair, people who swing on the trapeze, people who are covered head to toe in tattoos all come to Barnum and he is off and running.
The early days of his show are met with a critical review from the theater critic from the New York Times. Barnum ignores him because there are so many people coming to his show, which is exactly what has happened in real life with the movie. The movie hit with poor reviews from proper critics has some how survived and thrived bringing smiles to a lot of people.
Eventually he partners up with Philip Carlyle, played by Zac Efron loosely based on James Bailey, the Bailey in Barnum and Bailey's Circus. Barnum partners with Carlyle in order to get access to the super wealthy.
The rest of the movie, is pretty predictable. Barnum becomes more famous. He begins to ignore his performers. He eventually gets into trouble with his wife. So on and so forth.
But the strength of the movie isn’t in the plot. It’s in the music and the musical numbers. This is what has given The Greatest Showman it’s word of mouth success.
Final Thoughts
I recommend seeing this in the theaters before it leaves.
Directed by first time director Michael Gracy, written by Jenny Bicks and Bill Condon, staring Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Michelle Williams, Rebecca Ferguson, and Zendaya, the movie is pure joy and entertainment.
This old-time fun musical is just what everyone needs right now
El gran showman es un musical biográfico de los compositores de La La Land protagonizado por Hugh Jackman como P.T. Barnum, que comienza como un huérfano sin un centavo, pero se convierte en el creador del circo de fama mundial. Hay un poco de lenguaje ("maldición", el insulto racial "fantasmas", "¡oh Dios!", Etc.) y violencia (los manifestantes incendian el circo, un hombre abofetea a un niño), así como algunos dramas que rodean al romance interracial de la película, que era tabú en ese momento. Pero, en general, la trama y las canciones son bastante fáciles de seguir para los preadolescentes, y con Zendaya y Zac Efron como coprotagonistas, es probable que la película les atraiga. Aunque se basa en hechos reales, la película solo cubre un corto período en la vida de Barnum y pasa por alto ciertos aspectos de su carrera. No está obteniendo el mismo tipo de reconocimiento que La La Land, pero las encantadoras pistas y escenas de circo de El gran showman deberían ser una opción divertida para las familias que disfrutan de la historia, el teatro musical y, por supuesto, el circo.
La película está dirigida por Michael Gracey, que debuta con este título tras un tiempo trabajando en el departamento de efectos visuales de varias producciones como “Cubbyhouse” (2001), “Shuang tong” (2002), “Ned Kelly” (2003) ó “The Magician” (2005). En el reparto de la película se encuentran gran de estrellas encabezadas por Hugh Jackman como el showman y empresario circense. Completan el reparto Rebecca Ferguson, Zac Efron, Michelle Williams y la actriz y cantante Zendaya.

The Greatest Showman is a biographical musical from the songwriters of La La Land that stars Hugh Jackman as P.T. Barnum, who starts out as a penniless orphan but becomes the world-renowned creator of the circus. There's a bit of language ("damn," the racial slur "spooks," "oh God!," etc.) and violence (protesters burn down the circus, a man slaps a young boy), as well as some drama surrounding the movie's interracial romance, which was taboo at the time. But overall the plot and songs are easy enough for tweens to follow -- and with Zendaya and Zac Efron co-starring, the movie is likely to appeal to them. Although it's based on factual events, the movie only covers a short period in Barnum's life and glosses over certain aspects of his career. It's not garnering the same kind of acclaim as La La Land, but The Greatest Showman's charming leads and circus scenes should make it a fun pick for families who enjoy history, musical theater, and, of course, the circus.
The film is directed by Michael Gracey, who debuted with this title after some time working in the visual effects department of several productions such as "Cubbyhouse" (2001), "Shuang tong" (2002), "Ned Kelly" (2003) or "The Magician" (2005). In the cast of the film there are a lot of stars headed by Hugh Jackman as the circus showman and businessman. Rounding out the cast are Rebecca Ferguson, Zac Efron, Michelle Williams and the actress and singer Zendaya.
WHAT'S THE STORY?
THE GREATEST SHOWMAN is a biographical musical about young Phineas T. Barnum's life as a child, entrepreneur, museum owner, circus producer, and entertainment producer. As a young boy, Phineas "Finn" (Ellis Rubin), the son of a tailor, meets Charity (Skylar Dunn), the daughter of one of his father's wealthy clients. He makes her laugh and earns a slap from her father for it, but the spark between them lasts throughout their adolescence, even while she's away at boarding school and he's an orphan in the streets. Years later, Finn and Charity (now played by Hugh Jackman and Michelle Williams) marry and have two girls. He manages to secure a loan to open up a museum of oddities, and when that starts to fail, he's inspired by a brief encounter with a little person to invite unusual-looking folks -- including bearded lady Letty Lutz (Keala Settle), Tom Thumb (Sean Humphrey), and black brother-and-sister trapeze artists W.D. Wheeler (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) and Anne Wheeler (Zendaya) -- to join a show focused around them. With a little embellishment from costumes and makeup, he opens what will become the first circus. Although Barnum's show is critically panned, the masses love it. He earns a fortune, but Barnum can't stop looking for approval from the upper crust.

›Mi Review de The Greatest Showman@mauriciovite3114d
Queridos Steemians
Acabo de regresar de ver una película que quería ver desde hace dos semanas pero que apenas pude ver y es: The Greatest Showman. Desde hace 6 meses que supe se iba a hacer esta película estaba buscando la excusa perfecta para comprarme mi disfraz de Ringmaster de Circo que siempre había querido portar.
A quien le queda mejor? a Hugh Jackman o a mí?? jajajaja
Sinopsis de la película
Esta Película es simplemente un Musical Inspirado en la Vida de P.T. Barnum, el creador de lo que sería considerado por mucho tiempo The Greatest Show on Earth y el Famoso Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus. Muy al estilo de Musicales típicos norteamericanos y por medio de coreografías impresionantes nos cuentan una Historia un poco alejada de la Realidad de los eventos que se muestran en la película.
**Foto: Foxmovies.com**
Lo Positivo
**Foto: Vogue.com**
· Las coreografías y montaje de cada número Musical son de lo mejor que he visto en mucho tiempo en la Pantalla Grande. Estoy sorprendido del Talento y los responsables de montar cada uno de estos performances. WOW
**Foto: CNBC.com**
· Hugh Jackman: Hay algo que No Pueda Hacer este Hombre?? Canta y Baila con una precisión en esta película que si fuera en un teatro me habría levantado al final para ovacionar su trabajo.
· La Música: Solo les diré que es de los Autores y creadores de La La Land. Benj Pasek y Justin Paul ya ganaron Oscar (Aclaro que por la música), ganaron Tony (Premio de Broadway). La canción Inicial, es una de mis favoritas y que he estado escuchando diario durante estas 5 semanas anteriores.
**Los compositores recibiendo el Oscar por mejor Música por La La Land, ahora nos presentan The Greatest Showman**
· La Escenografía y Vestuario son Maravillosos
Lo Negativo
· La Historia es HORRIBLE. Creo que la gente que hizo el guión buscó una forma sencilla y rápida de crear esta historia para la película que todo pasa muy rápido, las historias de amor son muy cliché y Apresuradas y Muy al Estilo Cuento de Hadas, casi todo se le da fácil y mágico a P.T. Barnum
**Esta chica y su personaje fueron los que más odié porque aunque vocalmente era impresionante lo que hace esta Artista, el propósito de hablar de Tolerancia y que somos diferentes me desesperó mucho**
Esto me lleva a que Desafortunadamente el enfoque que le quisieron dar a la Historia fue a la Tolerancia y Aceptación de las personas que son diferentes (Parecía que este era el propósito de hacer esta película) hubo varios momentos en que sentí como si hubiera estado viendo un Episodio de Glee versión Circo. Yo creo que se le pudo haber dado otro enfoque diferente y hasta más Oscuro que la habrían hecho más interesante y compleja pero se fueron por la vía Fácil. Todo es un cliché Mágico y aunque esto es muy frecuente en las películas de Hollywood y más como por ejemplo con Disney. Aquí se siente como Muy Restregado en la cara. (Como Glee) ODIÉ LA HISTORIA.
VEREDICTO
La volvería a ver al menos unas 5 veces, pero estoy siendo muy subjetivo ya que soy fan de los Musicales y esta película es casi Perfecta respecto a los elementos que conforman el género de película o teatro musical. Por otro lado entiendo la parte que los críticos odiaron de la película ya que claramente es una Historia Cliché de Fantasía que no aporta nada Nuevo. La película es corta y muy amena con música Fresca y me atrevo a decir que la gente saldrá satisfecha y contenta de ver esta película.

›The Greatest Showman - Movie Review85@coldsteem3120d
Dear Hollywood:
This is how it's done. Forget the critics. They have no idea what they are talking about. The Greatest Showman is the classic underdog story told in musical format. It is everything La La Land aspired to be, but will be lucky to earn half the accolades of last years Oscar sweetheart. But it succeeds because it is good. The music, the dancing, the story, the originality. Oscar be damned. This film is good and will make plenty of money from the unwashed masses who don't vote for Oscar.
The Greatest Showman is a celebration of life. An examination of the difference between art and the things that make us happy. It is an interesting dichotomy that feels ironic given the critical reception this movie has received. The film takes liberties with the true story of PT Barnum who delighted generations of kids (of all ages) with his flashy showmanship and embrace of human oddities. The story has a strong inclusiveness subtext without feeling preachy or political. It is a delicate balancing act, masterfully constructed by writers Jenny Bicks and Bill Condon.
The Greatest Showman came out of the gates with purpose. The film opens with Barnum (Hugh Jackman) delivering an opening number backed by the percussion of stomping feet. The film utilizes exceptional cimenatography to capture tightly choreographed acrobatics to compliment the excellent musical score. It is large, flashy and impressive. The film tells Barnum's backstory in music before tracking his marriage to Charity (Michelle Willims) and his eventual rise to stardom, alongside his setbacks. We know how this story ends, yet I found myself rooting for him to succeed. And to make good decisions personally. The balance of musical and dialogue kept the story moving at a nice pace.
Okay, so the film wasn't perfect. It was a bit predictable. The CGI animals were imperfect, and there were a couple continuity issues that were very minor. But those things drive me nuts. There is a scene where Barnum puts on his hat and the cut shot shows him with it off. There was another scene where he has a glass with a bit of whiskey in it that is empty in the next shot. Those are minor niggles, but enough to make me lower my rating to within the stratosphere.
Having seen Jackman in Les Mis, I had no doubt he would be exceptional. Likewise Zac Efron, who has a history with musical productions. I was pleasantly surprised by Michelle Williams, who was exceptional in her musical scenes. My favorite performances were with Efron singing duet with Disney star Zendaya. They sounded great together. The choreography went beyond simple dancing, incorporating circus elements in many of the numbers. The performances, music and choreography elevated a decent story to a magical experience.
I thought The Greatest Showman was better than expected. It enjoys a nice rating at IMDb right now with an 8/10 rating. Audiences seem to be enjoying the film more than the critics. Not surprising. While the film had some minor issues, the magical qualities of this film far outweigh any minor issues. With a PG rating, this 105 minute film is good for the entire family. A feel good movie to round out my 2017. It should be competing heavily with shape of water at the Oscars, but the poor critical reception may dampen some of those aspirations. In spite of the fact that this film is far superior to last years darling La La Land. Worth seeing in theaters. 8.5/10.
›The Greatest Showman and Hugh Jackman@mediaguy3133d
I don't understand why Hugh Jackman keeps doing roles that require him to sing, when he cannot sing. I can sing better than him and I suck. If he really likes singing so much then he should do an intensive course with a one on one professional vocal coach. That is all I wanted to say about it.
