When P.T. Barnum loses his job after the company’s bankruptcy, he sets out to finally give his family the life he promised them by reinventing himself as ‘The Greatest Showman’.
He starts putting together a circus, trying to create a show like nobody’s ever seen before. But for a unique show, he’ll need unique performers unafraid to stand out – after all, no-one ever made a difference by being like everyone else.
Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Michelle Williams and Zendaya star in ‘The Greatest Showman’, a soaring musical with songs by the Academy Award-winning songwriters behind ‘La La Land’.
The Odeon Cinema
It was one of those films that i heared everyone talking about, about how amazing the soundtrack was. I know I’m late to the party but I’m glad I got there in the end. Released on 26/12/17 I thought going tonight 31/01/18 that it would be a quiet cinema. Boy was I wrong. The local cinema sold out and the on that we did make it to was near enough fool.
Hugh Jackmans character dreaming of a better life than what he grew up with, and the girl from the opposite life and how you can’t decided who you fall for.
Dreaming of a better life for his family, a life he didn’t have. The film shows how it takes things to happen the way they do for him to realise that family is worth more. The people branded “freaks” finally being accepted by themselves and the city they live in. How they teach Barnum that by accepting them as who they are meant more than the way they look.
The music through out is catchy and I know of at least one person that REALLY wanted to get up and dance during the film. I challenge anyone not to come away and not go and buy the music. Yes it might of been different if there was stronger lead vocals from Jackman. But his style and tempo works well with the film.
A mix of CGI and actors work well together. Some of the party I was with didn’t like the animals and the way they acted. But each to there own.
Over all a good film and I challenge anyone not to come out the cinema dancing or singing or both. Or in some cases that I saw crying at the end or through out. It is a film that unlike others at the minute isn’t about sex, violence or action. It’s an ‘original’ film and I like that. It’s not about sequels or franchise. It shows that even though there is people with differences they too just want to be accepted and aren’t different from everyone else in that respect.
Overall 8/10
