The Greatest Showman

09:05:00

A circus was a place which gathered those who could never fit in the societies norms. It allowed the exception to be seen to the wider audience, it provided jobs for those who couldn't make a living in regular nine to five jobs or manual professions. It gave entertainment to the masses and made people believe in the power of magic. You can think about the years of exploitation, which concerned animals and artists, but this film is far from dealing with the cons of showbusiness. When people were despised for being different, when they were made fun of for weight, height, hair abnormalities, when the color of your skin was still an issue which made it impossible to marry the love of your life, enjoy the evening at the theatre or be treated as equal, circus was a place where all could feel accepted. A tribute to art, music, dance, tolerance, love drive and motivation, and a big happy place for us to rewatch and resing, The Greatest Showman.

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers. I use saved screens of the Google compilation of pictures, thus the pictures of pictures, which I take, cut and edit myself (as a derivative use). They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
