Hugh Jackman is the greatest showman ever. Excellent

Rating: 10/10 (7 January 2018)

Just got back from seeing this movie and it is based on a true story about PL Brahum(played by Hugh Jackman) who wants to make it big. He was neglected as a kid with his childhood sweethearts father who treated Brahum like trash since he started off as a tailor boy. Years later and Brahum is married to his childhood sweetheart (played by Michelle Williams) and has 2 daughters. At first Brahum decides to set up a wax museum but once that failed he decides to set up a circus and put up adverts for it. People call Brahum a fraud and calls his circus gang which includes a bearded lady,a 500 pound man,a wolf man all freaks. Will Brahum show people that they are all wrong and that he isn't worthless.

This movie is clearly belonged to Hugh Jackman. I knew the man could sing and dance as he did theatre in the past like Beauty and the Beast,Oklahoma,The Boy From Oz etc and he was fantastic in this,Zac Efron from High School Musical fame plays Philip who becomes Jackman's buddy/helper for the circus and his charcther falls for a woman named Annie played by Shake It Up's Zendaya and certain people are racist because of it. The songs were great and the woman who played the bearded lady was a brilliant singer.
The visuals are stunning and everyone did a great job with this film. Definetly getting this on DVD when it comes out

Bill Condon wrote the screenplay for this, having directed another Oscar Worthy flick Beauty and The Beast with Emma Watson and Dan Stevens and James Mangold(who directed Kate and Leopold, The Wolverine and Logan) acted as an executive producer for this.

All the songs were good including rewrite the stars,this is me,the greatest show etc.

This years LA LA Land for me
Thumbs up
4/5
