Pack Up Your Troubles And Go See "The Greatest Showman"

1/21/2018

     It's the end of January, outside it's cold, dreary, melty and muddy,
Picture
...the United States Government has shut down - sorta,
Picture
...because Donald Trump, elected President on the his self-proclamation that he was the greatest deal-maker in the history of existence, turned out to have a glaring lack of talent for deal-making. Except in some cases.
Picture
     But what's the use of worrying, right? It never was worthwhile.
     Instead pack up your troubles like I did last night and go see "The Greatest Showman,"

Picture
...the movie-musical rags-to-riches-to-rags-to-riches bio of P.T. Barnum, inventor of the circus and entrepreneur extraordinaire, starring Hugh Jackman as the charismatic Phineas T. Barnum,
Picture
       Michelle Williams as his wife and soul mate Charity,
Picture
...two adorable little girls as their daughters,
Picture
...Zach Efron as Barnum's young partner Phillip Carlyle in his first decent role since "High School Musical,"
Picture
(All right, I guess he was decent in "Paper Boy." It was just the movie that was dreadful)
Picture
...Rebecca Ferguson as "Swedish Nightingale"  Jenny Lind,
Picture
...and a phenomenal assortment of actors and actresses as the members of  "Barnum's Circus," as he calls his troupe of "human curiosities."
Picture
    The film is heart-gripping, heart warming, and entertaining as it tells a magical story of P.T. Barnum's rise from a poor orphan to a master showman interwoven with love stories, stories of friendships, of overcoming adversity and standing up to ignorance and hatred, and of an uplifting affirmation of the beauty and worth of every human being,
...told with beautiful colors, dazzling costumes, great music and the most awesome dance scenes.
Picture
     Go see "The Greatest Showman."  It'll make you smile, smile, smile. I promise.

Hugh Jackman is one of the actors I really admire in Hollywood. Aside from his good looks, he really is a good actor. He really deserves the role in the movie entitled "The Greatest Showman". I was so impressed by the deliverance of the movie. I was very impressed by the chemistry he had with Michelle Williams and what I love the most is the voice he had shown us. The movie really inspires a lot of young stage actors. I have seen few plays inspired by this movie and it was really awesome.
