The Greatest Showman is a beautiful, stunning musical and dance film that explores important topics such as conflict resolution, forgiveness, kindness, finding and giving true love, unconditional love, and more. This unique musical is based on P.T. Barnum's imagination. Barnum depicts the narrative of P.T. Barnum, a visionary. Barnum, who climbed from obscurity to make a worldwide sensation with his circus. P.T. Hugh Jackman's Barnum, the originator of the three-ring circus, started with nothing but a magnificent idea of theater, acrobatics, and entertainment.
Hugh Jackman, an Academy Awardยฎ contender, is particularly fond of "...the concept that your skill, ingenuity, and capacity to work hard should be the only factors that decide your success." He (PT Barnum) has the ability to create something from nothing, to transform lemons into lemonade. That characteristic has always appealed to me. He forged his own path and turned every setback into an opportunity. This one figure embodies so many things I strive to in my life."
According to Australian director Michael Gracey, the film "...also touches on another idea of these times...families built around allowing people to express who they are without reservation...A big idea in the film is that your true wealth is the people you surround yourself with and the people who love you...Barnum brought people together who the world might otherwise have ignored..." Barnum's story is about not limiting your imagination, about creating new worlds with what you already have in your head......"
Everything for Gracey rested on getting the music for this film just perfect. He decided that the songs should be able to counteract the period setting; rather than traveling back in time, he wanted music that would make the people and situations feel immediately current. This and more was masterfully delivered by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who are famed for their Oscarยฎ-winning work on La La Land. "What Benj and Justin wrote are constantly bringing you someplace - each is a tale in its own right," Gracey remarked.
"What I like most about this film is that at its core, it's about taking risks, following your dreams, and celebrating what makes each and every one of us unique," Jackman adds. "Barnum filled his show with the most talented but overlooked people he knew and gave them a magnificent spotlight in which to shine โ and that it doesn't matter who you are, no matter how you differ from supermodels and football players." "Appreciate yourself just as you were born."
Through the superb performances of top artists, the music, choreography, and production components of this stunning musical movie imaginatively and refreshingly express the primary ideas. The visual approach for The Greatest Showman, like the songs, is a mix of old and contemporary, harkening back to P.T. Barnum's 19th century. Barnum's journey into the present day.
