The World of Entertainment as it's Supposed to be

Rating: 8/10 (29 September 2018)

I am not into musicals, it's not my favorite genre but i can find one enjoyable if it's not full singing and resembles a movie and not just theater.
The Greatest Showman is a combination of the two and it delivers exactly what it's supposed to. Entertainment. It entertains the audience in the movie and at the same time it entertains us.
The birth of the world of Showmanship appears difficult with high risk but also high reward. The struggles of visionary and ambitious mister Barnum seem pretty realistic. He does everything he can and goes all in to fullfill his dreams
against all obstacles allong the way. The enemies are there, and they come in the shape of Fame, Envy, and most importantly Acceptance. As most people he would fall into the trap of fame getting in his head but as soon as he learns his
lesson he will get out a bigger man. The Circus will bring together all kinds of people for the audience's pleasure. Sure, money and fame are involved but it's larger than that. It's a new kind of show that would only continue to grow in
the future.
Jackman is passionate, Williams is emotional and Effron is cheerfull but also serious in a way we are not used to see him, without relying on his abs and obvious comedy. A great cast and total result in general by everyone involved, and a theme
that pairs nicely with the music and singing.
A nice and positive-mood-bringing watch. ✍8/10
