Moulin Rouge meets La La Land

Rating: 8/10 (29 December 2017)

My last movie review for 2017-
and it's a good one, I loved this original screen musical not as much as La La Land but think Moulin Rouge meets La La land and there are similarities.
If you don't like musicals ,perhaps this movie may not appeal but if you enjoy an interesting story based on some fact and plenty of spectacle and a very talented cast headed by Hugh Jackman as P.T. Barnum you may enjoy this cleverly crafted film.
I love musicals and there are plenty of original songs and great Circus choreography in The Greatest Showman.
Michelle Williams is delightful as Barnum's wife and Zac Efron , plays a great supporting role as Barnum's business partner.
I'll be pleasantly surprised if this is a great box office success I hope it is because it deserves success and has a timely message
of accepting and celebrating diversity and differences inhuman kind.
It's not what a person looks like physically that counts even if their a bearded lady or a giant or dwarf it's the similarities we should celebrate not their differences.
There's been some great movies this year and some duds but this is a good one to end the year with.
