If you're looking for a movie that lifts you up, I've got just the one for you: The Greatest Showman. I walked out of the theatre feeling so empowered I felt unstoppable. I have never felt that way after any movie before. A couple of disclaimers: This movie is a musical, so if you're not into that, you won't like it. Also, this movie is a non-traditional musical, so if you're expecting classic/typical musical music, you'll walk out disappointed. The music is pop - similar to what you'd hear on a top hits radio station. I wasn't expecting this, and didn't like it at first, but the messages overpowered any immediate reservations I had. The movie follows the true story of the rise and fall and rise of P.T. Barnum of the Barnum and Bailey Circus. Hugh Jackman plays Barnum and he is a badass. He is surrounded by an amazing cast who are equally badass. The voices, the dancing, the era, the effects - all so good. But like I said before - it's the messages throughout the movie that put this one over the top for me. Encouraging viewers to dream, to be themselves, to follow their hearts. My soul felt so full afterwards. We downloaded the soundtrack immediately. I can't listen to some of the songs without crying. It was, and still is, so moving. Five stars. Two thumbs up. All the good reviews from me. I urge you to go watch it especially if you're looking for something to light you up inside. If you go see it - let me know what you thought!

I was never surprised when I saw the list. It was expected that The Greatest Showman songs would top the chart. They have been the talk of the town for the past weeks, and it's given that they are getting too much attention from the public right now. They've been topping both local and international music charts and I can sense that there is still a long way to go for them. The movie was made even better because of its tracks!

My friends went out without me, they said they were going to watch this new film "The Greatest Showman". I was never really someone who liked watching musicals, as a matter of fact, I hate them. The day after they watched the show, they obsessively talked about it in class. They could not stop singing their songs and whatnot. Since I did not want to be left out, I immediately watched myself. IT WAS REALLY AMAZING, I ENJOYED EVERY SECOND OF THE MOVIE!
