I loved this film. It was incredible and I especially enjoyed watching each character grow in confidence, and by the end of the movie, everyone was so confident and didn't care what anybody else thought of them! The message this film is trying to get across is truly inspirational: be yourself and do not care what others think. I loved the morale of the story and really liked how each character was unique, yet each one was an incredible role model. One of my favourite characters was the bearded lady. I liked her as at the beginning of the film she was seen as an outsider, who did not fit in with any other women she knew, and they all just found her funny, but by the end, she grew into a confident lady who was not afraid to show her true colours and she had an amazing singing voice! She sang a wonderful, inspirational song called 'This Is Me', which was all about being yourself and having fun in life no matter what.he Greatest showman is an epic feel good family movie, that follows the life of P.T Barnum and how he brought mystry of the great unknown and unusual along with the unique into the eyes of society, making "A Million Dreams" "Come Alive".
This is a classic tale of the underdog, that said "From Now On" I will defy the odds stacked against me to not just climb the ladder of success but enjoy doing it.
This film contains an all star cast, like X-men's own Hugh Jackman, A very Grown up (high school musicals Troy Balton) Zac Efron, Oz's very own Glinda, Michelle Williams, KC undercover star Zendaya and many more ... fantastically composed songs and amazing singing which has the ability to make the viewer want to leap from their seat and sing "This is Me", as they watch the magic unfold on the golden screen.
I have watched this film a hundred times and it is "Never Enough.
So for a great family feel good movie, that touches the heart of people of all walks of life and ages and that literally has the ability to make you smile like the Cheshire Cat and your stomach tingle like your walking a "Tightrope" I recommend The Greatest Showam.
The directing is artfully beautiful and the storyline is gripping. But what is so wonderful about this trully great film is that it is inspiring and makes you want to "Rewrite the Stars" and explore your own creativity.
A must see movie.This movie was really good but at the same time was really hard to watch. So many people were ostracised from society (e.g. the bearded lady) and the circus was the first they were accepted. However the founder, PT Barnum, after making them famous soon forgets about them and his family when he meets famous Swedish singer, Jenny Lind and he is photographed kissing her (even though he had always refused her kisses). His wife is devastated by this photo and more disaster hits when a fire destroys the circus, a fire that is started after a fight between the circus troupe and protestors.
This film became so famous because of the music, everyone is singing the songs and my favourite is "This Is Me". The music is so powerful and the message behind the songs is so important. It doesn't matter what colour your skin is or how small you areI wasn't looking forward to watching this movie as it was my sister's choice to watch on movie night. So what a pleasant surprise I got.
The film was amazing from start to finish with great characters, fantastic costumes and phenomenal music.
This movie is about the life of the man who started one of the most famous circuses in the world. He brought the first human oddities to the circus for the world to see including the bearded lady. I was captivated from start to finish enjoying every minute of it.
There is a really important message from the film too. The story encourages you to always follow your dreams and heart no matter how big the dreams are or how hard it is to follow them. However you must not get carried away by the fame and the power or else it will destroy you and you will lose everything that was ever important to you and you will be left with nothing.
It also teaches another important message that we are all equal and important in our own rights no matter how different we are or what skin colour we have. We should always believe in ourselves.
So if you're in any doubt about watching this film just go see it. I guarantee it will put a smile on your faceEven though I have seen this film before it was still the best movie of all times in my eyes . I think this is a really good film because PT Barnum gives extraordinary people who are almost bullied ,who are bullied and gave them a chance to believe in them self. In the movie it says "even our own mothers were ashamed of us but you gave us a chance " . I thought that was amazing because it made PT believe in them again , it made him believe in him self again and that was amazing . This film is a family film because it has lots of music and i just think that little children would really enjoy this movie .this movie is amazing to see on the big screen. The movie had amazing CGI and very colourful props and costumes, this brought the hole movie to life and made all the audience feel as if they were there, sat grasping on to their seat. I like how in the movie they used colour to show emotion throughout the movie, dark grey and dull colours to represent a miserable or dispirited moments and bright, vibrant colours to represent uplifting and memorable moments. This helps the audience to interact with the characters.
The movie tells us how a bond of friendship may be as strong as family and that you don’t need to impress everyone around you, the only thing that really matters is your friends and family, the people that care about you.he Greatest Showman is a spectacular movie with amazing cinematography and a huge budget of $84 million.
This movie talks about topics such as self-love, acceptance and overall happiness with oneself and others. This fantastic musical shows the point of view from a young boy who wants to make something of himself. The only thing is that he is quite poor and to make it big would be almost impossible, but is it?
Through the movie we see him meet the girl of his dreams and they create a family together. His two daughters then remind him of his once forgotten wish and encourage him to try again. Although faced with many struggles he meets people along the way that he will be friends with for life. He decides to create a circus full of people who are outcasts and have been ostracised by society.
The rest of the movie is full of twists and turns that will definitely keep the audience on the edge of their seats.
All in all, I would recommend this movie to anyone that likes musicals and heart-warming movies – this is certainly not a moWhen 19th century aspiring entrepreneur P.T. Barnum loses his job after the company’s bankruptcy, he decides to finally try to fulfil his dreams and a promise he gave to his family by reinventing himself as ‘The Greatest Showman’. This involves putting together a circus the likes of which had never been seen before. Populating such a bold project requires a diverse, eclectic list of astounding performers unafraid to stand-out, and who refuse to be like everybody else. The results lay the foundations for what we now think of as show business. Based on a true story, this is a lavish and original musical full of spectacle and infectious enthusiasm for being true to yourself and embracing who you are.vie to miss!

One of the first real horror movies, Freaks is still disturbing and provocative almost a century after it was made.
