Can't stop thinking about this movie after seeing it on Christmas!

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2018)

Ignore the "professional" critics. If you love positive musicals and don't care about historical accuracy, The Greatest Showman is right up your alley. Just thought LA LA Land was just ok. The Greatest Showman is the one movie where I feel that it truly deserves an Emmy for best musical of 2017! The story is carried through the songs more-so than the thin plot. Perfectly fine for me. I normally prefer story heavy musicals, but The Greatest Showman somehow did it in such a way that I really didn't mind.
Funny how, in the movie, it's about inclusion (in society) and going against criticism/norm. It's also about how making so much money may lead you astray and to lose sight of what's truly important. In RL, this movie is ironically getting lots of pro criticism, but the audience really loves this movie. I love this movie.
The movie should hopefully make back its 80 million $$ budget, but, as long as the entire cast had so much fun/passion making it, that's what truly counts to me. Even if you don't make so much money, what's more important, huh? Happiness or a film devoid of it?
To sum this up, I borrowed the lyrics from this film's "This is Me" sung by the wonderful Keala Settle, and twisted it a little.

When the sharpest words wanna cut the film down
It's gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
It's brave, It's bruised
It is what it's meant to be, this is it
Look out 'cause here it comes
And it's marching on to the beat it drums
It's not scared to be seen
It make no apologies, this is it
And, I make no apologies on constantly listening to the beautiful soundtrack every day. It's constantly playing in my head when I'm not even listening to the soundtrack. I think I need help! :D
