The Greatest Showman is a 2017 American period musical drama film directed by Michael Gracey, and written by Jenny Bicks and Bill Condon. The film stars Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Michelle Williams, Rebecca Ferguson, and Zendaya. The film is inspired by the true story of P. T. Barnum's creation of the the Barnum & Bailey Circus, and the lives of its star attractions.
Principal photography on the film began in New York City in November 2016, and it premiered on December 8, 2017 aboard the RMS Queen Mary 2. It was theatrically released in the United States on December 20, 2017 by 20th Century Fox, seven months after the circus stopped operating for good, and has grossed $89 million worldwide.
The Greatest Showman received mixed reviews with praise for the cast (particularly Jackman), music, and production values, but criticism for the artistic license taken, with some reviewers calling it "faux-inspiring and shallow".[4][5] At the 75th Golden Globe Awards, the film received three nominations: Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Best Actor – Musical or Comedy (Jackman), and Best Original Song ("This Is Me").[6]
And the award for best movie of the year goes to...
THE GREATEST SHOWMAN!!!!!
It was an incredible movie! This was Hugh Jackman's best work since Les Miserables! It had amazing songs, amazing choreography, great choice of actors and a breathtaking story. It's a story about acceptance and following your dreams, taking risks, how show business came to be and how the greatest showman that ever lived went from being a tailor's boy to being a success. From the bearded lady to the tattooed man to the dog boy to the irish giant to general Tom Thumb to Ying and Yang the siamese twins, the biggest sideshow oddities and freaks from the sideshow world was featured in this awe-inspiring film. P.T Barnum's story has shown us that it's okay to be different. Don't be ashamed of who you are especially deep down. In the words of P.T Barnum "The noblest of art is that of making others happy" and this movie did just that.
