RE: Some Facts About the Real P.T. Barnum That Do Not Appear in The Greatest Showman Movie

in #history7 years ago

I have to admit when i went into this movie i had no idea who Barnum was when he was alive. I decided to watch it exclusively because of the cast and assumed it would at least be a decent movie with the cast members they had and it was, it was an entertaining movie but as you said, from the beginning it was clear that it was really aimed and directed towards the goal of making the audience feel good instead of telling a full story and this is not the first nor the last time "based on a true story" will be used to lure audiences and then proceed to flat out lie to them through the movie.

After reading through the points you brought up i can't help but be dissapointed that they changed or failed to mention really important things juts to probably cater to the audience or to be as politically correct as possible... with history, especially slavery era, you can't really afford that sometimes. It is still an enjoyable movie i guess.

For me this movie is The Greatest... I like this so much because it's a movie you can take your family to and not to worry about covering their ears or eyes.. The music was so amazing that it felts like im in the play or Broadway musical. This movie has Great music. it also has good actors like Hugh Jackman A.K.A Wolverine. I never know that wolverine can act Good hahaha. Heart felt i fell inlove with the movie. My family will love to watch this one again. WE NEED TO MAKE MORE GREAT MOVIES LIKE THIS ONE FULL OF LEARNINGS!!! This movie will pull on your heart strings make sure to bring tissue..

Thank you for your perspective. Glad you enjoyed the movie (as did I) and also are thinking of the fuller story.
