Review of The Greatest Showman (2017) by Forever_Urs0703 — 19 Jan 2018
This movie is nothing like "La La Land." If you absolutely loved "La La Land," you probably won't like "The Greatest Showman." However, I was not a huge fan of "La La Land," and I found "The Greatest Showman" to be absolutely brilliant.
It follows the life of P.T. Barnum and the creation of the circus. In comparison to "La La Land," "Showman" had amazing music with deeply moving lyrics. "Showman" also had important things to say, when "La La Land" did not.
"Showman" is a celebration of individuality and encourages its audience to not only follow your heart, but to follow your conscience. It also places great emphasis on family. The story is very well done and the characters are well portrayed and somewhat have depth.
But again, I hated "La La Land." If you enjoyed "La La Land," you will probably not like "Showman." They really have little in common.
