My best friend loves this movie, and she actually kind of likes how inaccurate it is. She says “It’s the exact movie Barnum would have made about himself,” is what she says

[@anthonywheeler2082]

@SadieSpells37 That makes a lot of sense actually.

[@MrAspiringactor]

Here's what I don't get about that excuse: isn't the whole message of the movie "love yourself for who you are and treat people who are different from you with respect and as human beings?" And isn't that completely against everything Barnum stood for? Also, if Barnum made a movie about himself, why would he ignore all the businesses he had before creating the museum and circus? To make himself look sympathetic? I just don't think it even works on that level, sorry!

[@Rozdlc]

@@MrAspiringactor Barnum was the humbug king and was first and foremost a master showman. Even if he would not believe in the movie's message, as long as the audience ate it up and were entertained, he probably would have been happy. I believe he normally answered to criticism about the fakeness of some of the acts with a shrug and something like "You had fun right? So why complain?" Though I will say not sure how Barnum would have felt about the Jenny Lind plot since it doesn't exactly paint him in a good light either

[@sarafschr]

For “This Is Me,” I think you’re half right, they definitely don’t deliver after the song, but it’s definitely where it is in the plot for a reason. Prior to that, all their confidence and willingness to be seen by the public is based on PT’s confidence in them. But after he starts treating them badly (not letting them into the party with “normal” people, making them wear their costumes to meet the Queen, making them sit at the back during the opera performance (I think?)), this song exemplifies *their* confidence in themselves, how they don’t need a “normal” person to be their conduit to the public. I think it’s perfectly placed (but yes needed some more followup).

[@suadela87]

One thing I find interesting about this movie is how it’s the direct inverse of La La Land. I remember walking out of it and a lady in front of me was exclaiming to her husband about how this movie was everything La La Land wasn’t. The performances in the Greatest Showman were fantastic and the camerawork was... dynamic. But the plot and characters were meh. In La La Land, the performances (dancing, singing and whatnot, the acting was great) were meh the camerawork was less in your face allowing for slow, beautiful shots while the plot and characters were far more interesting. La La Land pleased critics while the crowd was disappointed. The Greatest Showman confused the critics and the crowd loved it. One of these days I should get high (off of life) and watch both. I may just unlock the secrets of the movie musical.

[@TehAtomicPotato]

The secret is that La La Land was boring as sin my guy. This movie was energetic loud, fun and masterfully crafted.

[@ErmenBlankenberg]

Uhm... La La Land made $442 million in cinemas. The Greatest Showman made $433 millions... But sure, it was boring as hell and people liked it less than The Greatest Showman.

I watched all the bonus features when the movie came out on home media, and I remember there being a story about how the day came for them to publish the film to whoever and they suddenly realized they had never actually done the opening sequence. Like, the opening number, that was done. But the title cards, opening credits, the production company logos (this is the important part) were all placeholders and they had just forgotten to do them. So one guy edited everything they could while another guy hand drew all of the title cards at the opening in literally the last couple of hours. Maybe that explains why there are two 20th Century Fox logos.

I remember me and my friend seeing this movie boxing day after we finished our shifts at the cinema, we'd seen bits of it throughout the day while doing screen checks and when we finally sat down to see it, it was just us, one mom and her daughters and two people on their own. I can safely say we all loved it. We saw it another two times that week alone both showings still pretty dead. We saw the movie eight times in the cinema in total and every single time the crowd grew bigger and bigger and we'd often talk to people next to us as the screenings got busier and it would often be a comment of "This is my fourth time, you?" Etc. So despite it's flaws it will always be one of my favourite cinema experiences, every single one of them.
