A Refreshing Abstraction of History

Rating: 10/10 (19 February 2018)

This was one of those films that hasn't gotten the publicity it deserves. It was a very refreshing and new concept in the world of film, which isn't an easy thing to manage in the 21st century. The Greatest Showman evoked a sense of euphoria, especially in the musical numbers. I appreciated how they chose Hugh Jackman as the protagonist; it displays Jackman's flexibility and abilities as an actor. Additionally, it was refreshing that the film included non-mainstream actors for the majority of the cast. I love seeing non-familiar faces in successful films such as the Greatest Showman. I cannot express enough how much I adore this movie! I'm in love with musicals that have eloquent stories. I praise the cast for their passionate performance and their ability to evoke the same emotions in me, as an audience member.
