Title of the Movie/Song: THE GREATEST SHOWMAN

What is the movie or song about?

The Greatest Showman is about the spellbinding imagination of a man who set out to
reveal that life itself can be the most thrilling show of all. P.T. Barnum comes an inspirational
rags-to-riches tale of a brash dreamer who rose from nothing to prove that anything you can
envision is possible and that everyone, no matter how invisible, has a stupendous story worthy of
a world-class spectacle. 

What do you like about this movie/song?

Aside from the cinematic entertainment there were a few lines that really resonated with
me and so often there are hidden lessons in the messaging throughout movies like this. But this is
the best life lessons I’ve learned from the movie. Accept who we are because we have our
different version of ourselves. Too many of us are trying to be all things to all people or hiding
away parts of ourselves for fear of rejection or feelings of not being good enough. You are
perfectly imperfect just like the rest of us so step up and step out. You might be surprised at what
happens when you do.

What is its artistic style?

It is a musical drama that gives a cinematic entertainment to viewers. Even beyond its
music, though, The Greatest Showman's appeal is obvious. It's a PG-rated movie aimed at
families, with a feel-good message of empowerment and a brightly colored, populist style that
mirrors its subject matter.
