Hey guys so today I'm going to be doing a short AF movie review on the movie "The Greatest Showman". As usual, this review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests), and spoiler free. (However there will be the IMDB synopsis in this and sometimes they can contain spoilers however 9/10 times they don't. It's just something to keep in mind if you're planning on watching the movie)
"Celebrate the birth of show business, and tells of a visionary who rose from nothing to create a spectacle that became a worldwide sensation."
So if you know me, you'll know my guilty pleasure is musical movies. I adore nothing more than a good musical. I also adore Hugh Jackman, so put them together and you've certainly got the perfect movie. I loved this movie, I loved the magic around the movie and around P.T. Barnum's mind. I loved the love in this movie, I loved the sadness. It was a full on roller coaster of emotions in this movie. One of the big points in this movie was around racism, and how people of colour was treated back then (and are continuously treated now). I'm not gonna touch too much on that because it's not my place, but it was portrayed really well. (Also Zendaya was amazing in this movie, however it took me a good couple of minutes to realize it was her. Pink hair suits her so much). The songs in this are wonderful and so catchy. My favourite song in the movie is definitely "A Million Dreams" (Before you all come at me, yes "This Is Me" is amazing. But "A Million Dreams" has more of that musical sound that I adore plus the visuals whilst they were singing it was stunning, also even if you don't watch the movie, please give these two songs and "Rewrite the stars" a listen, you won't be dissapointed). If you love musicals I would definitely recommend this one. There's a huge reason it's getting so much praise. Trust me when I say it's worth it.
Have you watched this movie yet? If you did, what did you think of it? Do you have any movies, series or books you'd recommend for me to watch/read or want me to do a short AF review on? Please let me know down in the comments below!
Have a wonderful day,
Love, Lyndsay
