A point I haven’t seen made yet, is that while the different people were brought together to draw crowds, they WERE brought together. Before , they all were isolated and mostly alone. Weak against a world that rejected them at best. Together, they were stronger, and had a community to rely on for emotional support. Often the “freak show “ was a tight knit surrogate family , a tradition of necessity that persists into today within any group of society outsiders.

The fact that Charles looked so dejected because of his size when he first meets PT Barnum, only to eventually be mouthing off to the Queen of England for mentioning his size, is probably the instance of character development that impressed me the most in this film.

[@mateorodriguezquezada2431]

Among Barnum's "freaks," the film portrays Asian conjoined twins. The actual twins were Chang and Eng Bunker, two brothers born in Siam (modern day Thailand), whose heritage was the basis of the term "Siamese twins." Chang and Eng retired after their life in P.T. Barnum's circus to North Carolina, got married and had eleven children and ten children, respectively. However, they became destitute after the American Civil War and went on tour again. They both died in 1874, Chang from a brain blood clot and Eng from heart failure, or shock (the sources differ), merely three hours later.

[@yiklongtay6029]

damn you for inspiring me to research. That was a fun rabbit hole. Quite an interesting life. I am not sure how much is fictionalized/sensationalized by the twins themselves.

[@scruffytheinsanejanitor4088]

I keep hearing comments about how the real Barnum profited and exploited these people. Well that is true but I think alot of people are forgetting something. THEY HAD NO CHOICE! Being in his show was probably the only good line of work they could get at the time. I'm not defending the abuse he caused them. But I will say it was the only decent line of work people like them could get at that time. Freaks couldn't be bankers, merchants, or much of anything without being harrassed and discriminated. For what it was worth. It was the best job they could have.

[@mjtruth1039]

Scruffy the Insane Janitor!! I’d also like to point out: this movie is rated PG. How did they expect slavery, abuse, animal cruelty and other things the real Barnum did to be in it? Also, it never marketed itself as being historically accurate. Edit: I would like to add that I was less informed when I made this comment. Barnum did love his animals, just didn’t know how to properly care for them. He payed his performers very well for the time period. He later became an abolitionist (opposed slavery). I apologize for being less informed. I still don’t think you should be looking to Hollywood films for historical accuracy.

[@Sabaelos]

@@mjtruth1039 maybe if at the beginning they said "not based on a true story" like how horror movies do it to add a bit of suspense, this movie would have been given a free pass with critics.

What I find so interesting but at the same time rather beautiful in a unique way is that when he was recruiting all those people. He didn't look at them let alone shocked at their bizarre things, or what others say "Freaks". He knew they were what people would say freaks, but the thing is that he was being drawn to them so much when he met each one he took a moment to understand a bit of them. Like at the first guy when he spoke to him about being a general and riding a horse wielding a sword. He knew how to talk to them without even a second thought. He knew how to look at them and make them feel more welcome or actually accept him in return, his passion for creating the greatest show led him to all the people he recruited, to which in the end what he gave them ironically was the greatest thing a family, just as the bear lady said. Not a ounch of him finding them strange, just "Unique" and "out of this world" kind of mind with a mix of passion in some way, you can just see it in his face and how he approaches each of every person he brings onto the show.

[@iamlinda100]

even though Barnum exploited them, but he also brought them all together, before he created his show, those outcast were all alone and isolated, forced to face the world by themselves. But Barnum brought them all together, gave them all the opportunity to shine and show the world that they're proud of their uniqueness and to prove to the world that there's nothing wrong with being different. And he gave them all a home and over time they became a family, he brought them joy and a family of acceptance that they never would've had if Barnum hadn't brought them all together for his show. So Barnum had done a lot more good for those outcasts than bad...at least in the movie. In reality however the real Barnum was cruel and abusive.
