Review

After watching "The Greatest Showman," my view of films in the musical drama genre completely changed. Played by a star-studded cast, the inspiring story of perseverance, self-acceptance, and celebrating diversity in this film was an amazing experience after watching it. 

The film's music is incredible, and each song represents a specific thing. The songs blend with each character and the atmosphere. The choreography is also a joy to behold with the perfect song accompaniment. Hugh Jackman looks amazing as circus ringmaster P.T. Barnum, showing off his talent not only in dancing but also managing to capture the audience's attention with his amazing voice.

The story is a rollercoaster of emotions, from moving and tear-jerking scenes to scenes that will leave you in tears. The film's storytelling still succeeds in touching the heart, and combined with the amazing soundtrack and stunningly creative outfits, I enjoyed every bit of it. Almost the entire film has interesting scenes.

Overall, "The Greatest Showman" is a visually stunning and musically entertaining film that celebrates diversity and perseverance. The catchy songs, impressive choreography, and star-studded cast make it a fun pick for families who enjoy musical theater and the circus. The film's inspirational tale of perseverance, self-acceptance, and celebrating diversity is a message that resonates with audiences of all ages.
