How many humans are on earth? how many languages ​​and tribes? the really difficult thing about diversity is, "how to bring together such a gigantic number of things?"

But, music did.

Some of us definitely have
hear about, human emotions are easiest to touch with songs. Songs can make people laugh, cry, get excited, and even angry. As soon as that music travels to the heart.

The Greatest Showman is here as a memory refresher for lovers of musical series like Glee or High School Musical.

However, if the two that I mentioned above are fiction, The Greates Showman is presented by Michael Gracey as an autobiographical film whose inspiration is one of the richest men in America in the 19th century, Phineas Taylor Barnum.

Presenting a series of other big artists such as Zac Efron and Zendaya, The Greates Showman managed to become the fifth best-selling musical drama in the world.

The story begins when young Barnum joins his father on a visit to a conglomerate family that has a daughter named Charity. Feeling attracted to young Barnum, Charity wants to be friends with him, but the difference in social status between Charity's wealthy father and Barnum's mere tailor makes this a fundamental problem. The cliche theme between the rich and the poor is wrapped in melodious songs.
Making he Greatest Showman worthy of being a watching list for families.

Barnum's brilliant ideas gave birth to a best-selling circus of its time. The motive of revenge against his wife's parents who seemed to condescend to him because they came from the anal of a tailor, Barnum racked his brains to be able to make the show interesting so that he could win the coffers of money that he could prove to Charity's parents. Create a "freaks" circus.

Barnum invites Charles Stratton - a miniature human (Sam Humphrey) whom he accidentally meets at a bank, then Lettie Lutz (Keala Settle) - a bearded woman who has a melodious voice, and other "freaks" to fruition.

All the townspeople flocked to watch Baarnum's performance. Celebrating humanity in the context of equality for all humans is really felt here.

As an autobiographical film that tells the stories of successful people, Greates Showman has a fairly fast pace and awkward story exploration.

A story that seems rushed to finish and a climax that doesn't feel memorable in my opinion.

However, because I was interested in the original soundtrack of this film, especially Keala Settle's acting power when delivering "This Is Me", it really reached my heart, I still enjoyed it until it was finished.
