I initially decided not to make a post about this, but after seeing it again and listening to its soundtrack for the gazillionth time, I think The Greatest Showman is not only one of the best films of 2017 (I'm late shut up), but one of the best musicals ever made.

Each one of the songs have it's own unique sound and structure which make them instant earworms. The songwriting team behind La La Land make a soundtrack that literally has no bad song I can think of. The performances are nearly perfect with Hugh Jackman as PT Barnum being a sensational choice for the part. Other cast members like Rebecca Ferguson, Zendaya Coleman, and Michelle Williams give off electrifying supporting roles that each stole the show when given screentime. The plot itself is quite interesting and I genuinely didn't know where some parts were going (didn't know much about Barnum to begin with).

For anybody who doesn't seem interested, I strongly suggest listening to the film's bedazzling soundtrack in its entirety to realize how amazing it is. Personal favorites of mine include "The Greatest Show", "The Other Side", and "This is Me" which has a stunning performance by Keala Settle. Musicals are one of my favorite movie genres of all time and I can proudly say that this musical is in my with favorites. Damn Hugh Jackman, why are you so fucking wonderful at everything?!

10/10 PLEASE see this film! It needs all the attention it deserves.
