The greatest showman is a movie directed by Michael Gracey. It was released on Dec 20th 2017 and it runs for 105 minutes. The cast of the movie includes Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Zendeya and many more people.
The storyline begins with a poor tailor and his young son Peter. Though they were poor, Peter never let that to hinder him because he had big dreams for himself, he wanted to be a showman. Peter fell in love with a rich man's daughter Charity played by Michelle Williams. The girls father was against their relationship and he sent his daughter to a boarding school. Not long after that Peter's father died and he became orphaned and homeless. Peter and Charity still kept in touch until Charity graduated and they got married.
After many years Peter who was struggling to cater for his family of a wife and two daughters was laid off from work because of the bad situation of the economy. So he decided to start his own business and he opened a museum but no one was buying ticket to visit it. Then his daughter suggested that maybe if there was something extraordinary to see many people would have come to see it. This reminded Peter of his childhood fantasy of becoming a showman so he gathered people from around the world who were seen as abnormal like a bearded woman, a very hairy man, a dwarf e.t.c to form the performers in his circus. He got a manager Phillip Carlyle played by Zac Efron to help manage the shows. The first show was a hit, many people trooped in to watch it but some people saw the performers as freaks and evil so they wanted them to live their community.
Despite the opposition from a large number of people, P.T Barnum did not give up. He continued to organize his shows and he even went on tour. With the money from the shows he was able to care for his family and he bought a new house for them. After the tour the performers were beaten up and the theater was burnt down. Even then Peter did not give up he got a land set up a tent and continued performing.
This movie is a wonderful movie with a great storyline and moral lesson. One lesson I learnt from this movie is persistence. P.T Barnum was persistent. He survived being orphaned at a young age, being poor, being jobless and the one that amazed me most his critics. After his theater was burnt down he did not give up he continued performing his shows. I have made up my mind to be persistent like Peter Barnum. This movie is suitable for all ages both young and old.
