The Obsession

Rating: 10/10 (15 January 2018)

I am not a person who likes musicals, if anything I am something like the boring movie viewer. Watching an eye candy action or a stomach hurting comedy. So I might not be the best to judge, but I feel the need to express my feelings about this movie. As a person not intrigued by musicals I must say that I am completely, absolutely, teenage crazy obsessed with "The Greatest Showman". The songs are stuck in my mind and weirdly I can relate to all of them (being completely honest I have been listening to them in my car for the past two weeks and I perform the shows of my life on every red light). And all those problems like racism, judging without any particular reason, trying to control others lives, trying to fit in for the price of losing everything and breaking all your principles in desperate need of approval, well all of the above makes me love it even more while hating the fact that they are all stuff we can still see around us, in our world, in our time. The movie is amazing to watch in general but for me it was on another level. It provoked my emotions, it provoked my way of seeing the world, it provoked my soul. For some of you I might seem like I am overreacting but that is my opinion and I will own it as it is. And if you chose to hear me out, you must watch this movie, it will not disappoint you.
