The Art of Entertainment

Rating: 7/10 (11 January 2018)

A fun movie that combines comedy, romance and music to a good sound editing, reasonable acting and a cool storyline. Telling the story of what was once called "The Circus of Horrors," debutant director Michael Gracey sought to show people with a disability by another prism, rather than the traditional terror, as aborted in the film Freaks (1932) for example, he seeks to show the humanity, talent and willpower of these people, even if in the final balance, it's a gum lesson. The script is well worked out, telling the story of a man of vision, who seeks to win in life through entertainment, and finds a niche little explored, in the background is a film about vision with a dressing overcoming cute. We have a good photo, a very sharp direction and with good light and camera angles (taking into account mainly that it is a beginner director), the editing and mixing of sound are good, although at times it is clear the voice overlap , we also feel the slight variation of the trail, but even so, it is pleasant. Nemhuma's acting comes to be noticeable, but Hugh Jackman is very well, and plays a role that combines too much with him. Finally "The King of Show" is no masterpiece, but it amuses, and is far from displeasing.
