The Greatest Showman | Movie Review

  Hello everybody! 
  I am very excited to do this post as its been three months since I last did a movie review, I’m also looking foward to sharing my opinions on the movie with you. I’m sure you’ve heard of or seen The Greatest Showman, I went to the see it in the cinema and thought it would be the perfect movie to do a review on.  

 

 Film: The Greatest Showman
 Starring: Hugh Jackman (P.T. Barnum), Zac Efron (Philip), Zendaya (Anne Wheeler), Michelle Williams (Charity Barnum), Rebecca Feurguson (Jenny Lind), Keala Settle (Lettie Lutz), Natasha Liu Bordizzo (Deng Yan), Skylar Dunn (Charity Barnum), Paul Sparks (James Gordon), Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (W.D. Wheeler), Austyn Johnson (Caroline Barnum)
 Director: Michael Gracey
 U.K. Release Date: 26 December 2017
 Rating: PG
 Genre: Biography, Drama, Musical
 Runtime: 2h 19min
 Storyline: Orphaned, penniless but ambitious and with a mind crammed with imagination and fresh ideas, the American Phineas Taylor Barnum will always be remembered as the man with the gift to effortlessly blur the line between reality and fiction. Thirsty for innovation and hungry for success, the son of a tailor will manage to open a wax museum but will soon shift focus to the unique and peculiar, introducing extraordinary, never-seen-before live acts on the circus stage. Some will call Barnum's wide collection of oddities, a freak show; however, when the obsessed for cheers and respectability showman gambles everything on the opera singer Jenny Lind to appeal to a high-brow audience, he will somehow lose sight of the most important aspect of his life: his family. Will Barnum risk it all to be accepted?   

 My star rating: 5 stars out of 5

 Favourite character: Lettie Lutz because she is so positive and inspirational.
 Memorable moment: When the Barnum’s are on the roof top and give the daughters a present.
 Favourite song: Rewrite The Stars by Zac Efron & Zendaya
