      King of the Circus: Kind People Deserve Respect

      I didn't expect it to be so beautiful! In the beginning, the teacher mentioned it because Barnum, as the father of communication, basically has knowledge about him in every subject. Later, the king of the circus was mentioned. The second time I saw Barnum, it was psychological. In the textbook, I became more curious about him. I had no idea there was a movie! After watching this movie, it has replaced the Titanic as my No. 1! Let's not talk about whether it fits the historical facts. After...

      you don't need everyone to love you

      People are people in the environment, the environment is a mess, and people think of themselves as lofty. The trauma of childhood accompanied you as you grew up, the comments of passers-by sting you silently, you want to be respected and appreciated by passers-by, so you learn to cater to passers-by, but passers-by see you laughing, passers-by are so proud, thinking they were born with it the right to harm others. Those who are forced to hide by passers-by, the creators who have fantastic...

      feast of music

      Barnum's story. First of all, at the beginning of the film, the director used a song "A million dreams", which is just four and a half minutes. The plot of the two daughters then lose their jobs; the content of the lyrics also connects the development of the whole story. The male protagonist's dream is to get the female protagonist and live a happy and beautiful life. Let us all participate in it and share yours Dream it, no matter right or wrong, I will accompany you to go with you. This is...

      I watched the bullet screen in my mind

      1. Construct the difference of two people's identities. Drink tea and educate the nobles elegantly.

      2. Ah, the protagonist is not very beautiful.

      3. When did happiness become clichéd.

      4. How an ordinary man became the king of the circus. How to go this way.

      5. But will it make the audience feel that this is taking advantage of the physical disability of these people?

      6. I don't think it's a "dream". I think he's doing it for a living.

      7. My daughter is too...

      What props up the "greatest" show

      01

      More than 60 years ago, an Oscar-winning film about a circus, "The Greatest Show on Earth", and "The Greatest Showman" had almost the same name. It is also said to be based on the Lingling Circus (one of the three largest circuses in the world, Barnum's Circus is its predecessor) as the prototype. The title of the film is also derived from Barnum's promotion of his circus performance as "the greatest show in the world". I feel that understanding the title of the film will help me...

      I really like musicals! All the songs in it are great! At the cinema, I want to sing and dance along with it. It has an infectious power that makes people tremble from head to toe to fingertips. A vision of the one I see, A million dreams is all it's gonna take. It's true that the story is not well told. It's a flaw, making this movie more like a compressed stage play. It is estimated that the length of time can be doubled to unfold the...

      If you don’t buy a house in Manhattan, you will regret it, Uncle Hugh. Hahaha, the plot is not written like this until it explodes in Disney, and the songs and dances are so catchy and eye-catching that you have to watch it. Not only Uncle Hugh’s personal show, but also shows the cast and lyrics The big show of choreography talent, the means of false propaganda are clever but not noble, spread happiness and beauty but also have the upstart mentality of clinging to the powerful and...

      Incorporating the singing and dancing style of Disney animation into such an old-fashioned story, aiming to target the market of teenagers and twenties, it turned out to be a great success (good risk)! This is another feat for musicals. After watching the film and then looking at today's stock market, it seems that it is not so...

    Creative background

    In 2009, the film’s producer Lawrence Mark approached Hugh Jackman, hoping to make a musical film. In order to make the film appear on the screen, Hugh Jackman also put a lot of effort behind the scenes, participating in every preparatory stage of the film. He asked his friend Bill Condon to modify the script, persuaded the producer to let Michael Gracie, who had never directed a movie, be the director, and joined Michael Gracie to...

    Evaluation action

    The music and choreography of "The Circus King" are wonderful. Among them, Barnum and partner Philip bargained in a dance scene in the pub. The bar waiter, the bar counter and the glasses of the two were cleverly used. The rhythm of music and dance echoed with the flashing lights of the bar. Human temptations and games appear relaxed, humorous and dynamic. A scene where Philip confessed his heart to the air swing girl Ann Wheeler,...
