Greatest Showman

Growing in 1800's P.T.Barnum displayed natural talent for publicity and promotion selling lottery tickets at age 12 and continued to indulge in "showbizness" by employing many talented circus performers who were called freaks by normal humans. They are exceptional and extraordinary people with incredible talent for trapeze, singing and dancing and taming and training  wild animals to perform on stage for spectacular exercises of  games and plays. P.T. Barnum 's talent extent to managing a famous celebrity singer whom made him lost track of what is reality and almost forgot his own business and almost lost his family. The movie is not just a so-so mediocre drama with all the singing and dancing ala Bollywood style. It's Hollywood! It's the beginning of Hollywood in 1800's.

It's the best entertaining movie in 2017. I should have watched this movie that year. Anyway, I was entertained. I love the songs they had chosen from the beginning to end. I first thought a "sing-song dialogue" sounds corny but it's not with this movie. Hugh Jackman is really an incredible wolverine who transformed himself into THE GREATEST SHOWMAN. I didn't know he can sing and tap dance because who would believe when Hugh Jackman is known as the WOLVERINE with strong hands and sharp blade fingers that can slash  the super freaks in X MEN. Bravo!
