The Power of Unity in this Spectacular Musical!

Rating: 10/10 (13 January 2018)

It's interesting how often movies and shows come along at a time when we desperately need them the most. We live in a world where division, intolerance, hatred, and prejudice are seeking to divide us daily, which is ironic considering that every single master and saint who has come to this world has taught the exact opposite: unity, tolerance, and love are what Life is all about.
The story is about P.T. Barnum, a poor street boy who has a dream of living in a world of the fantastic; a world where everyone is accepted and included. In fact, he purposely seeks out those who have been shunned and banished from society. What he puts together a collection of talented people who know and understand the power of love, unity, family, and sticking together.
I cannot over-emphasize how incredible the musical numbers are! The movie opens with a terrific sequence and it never stops. Every song is powerful, fun, poignant, and magical! The dance sequences are just as incredible and they compliment the songs perfectly.
As soon as I got home, I immediately downloaded the soundtrack. That's how good these are!
The Greatest Showman is just a ton of fun, and it has a powerful message to go along with it. It's time that people look at what unites us rather than what divides us. It's interesting, considering that music is universal and thus, it provides a terrific medium for the message of this film.
Hugh Jackman is amazing, and so is the rest of the cast that includes, Michelle Williams, Zac Efron, and Zendaya.
A movie that the entire family can go and see, you'll find yourself moving to the music and walking out feeling pretty darn good. What more fun could you ask for in "The Greatest Showman"?
