The world of the circus

Actors The Greatest Show on Earth (1952) - The 25th Oscar for best film

I saw the film defined as a circus documentary film most of the time acrobatics, punctuated by the four corners of a love relationship and clown story. The performance of the circus is particularly wonderful, and the shooting should have taken a lot of energy. After watching the movie, I suddenly wanted to watch it live, but now I don’t know where there is a circus performance. I think of the book "Elephant's Tears" I read before, and the background is also a circus. The circus is like a small world, big tents, bits and pieces on the train, a mobile home, here is all they live in. In the movie, the hard performances of actors and animals and the various expressions of the audience are not only circus performances, but also contain the most beautiful and stupid aspects of human nature. Very hard movie~
