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 also the promise of the heroine to the hero in the play. The heroine has never left the hero and has always been by his side to accompany him to face all difficulties. And this Come alive (keep alive) also used a very short time to tell the process of the male protagonist recruiting "strange people" to everyone's first stage to shock the audience; this song uses lyrics to describe the theme, this song Songs are not only an inspiration to weirdos, but also a warning to everyone in our society. There are no perfect people in the world. Everyone has their own value. Don't laugh at others because of their shortcomings. ; For some people with weird bodies, stay alive and hopeful, prove to the world that you are the strongest person, ignite the passion in your heart, and go all the way to the sky. Secondly, This Is Me (This Is Me), the lead singer of "Ms. Beard" in the film, also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song and an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song. At the same time, this song was also nominated at the 90th Academy Awards. Sing it live. At 56:28 in the play, "Ms. Beard" and some other weirdos are afraid that they will scare away the invited guests and hide in a small space because the male protagonist Barnum does not let them participate in the prepared banquet. , which hurt their extremely fragile self-esteem and self-confidence, and then they sang this This Is Me on stage, which seemed to tell their life story, as in the lyrics: I have long been familiar with this darkness , I've been trapped in it for a long time, they let me hide, just because they don't want to see my hideous broken, and the lyrics that appear in the back, I will hold the throat of my own destiny This is me, watch it all The old lady is coming... It is like a kind of resistance, more of a self-awareness, a response to discrimination in society; to be a true self and stand in front of the world with a proud posture. Again, in the film Rebecca Ferguson played the "Swedish Nightingale" in the film with stunning beauty, but in order to achieve the best effect of the song, this Never Enough (Never Enough) was composed by "The Voice of America" sung by professional singer Loren All red; wearing a white dress in the spotlight, like a glimmer of light guiding the lost people to move forward, it is also like pursuing a dream on a dark road, more like everyone's desire , never enough, for example: in the film, the male protagonist's pursuit of money never stops, never knowing satisfaction, and even abandoning his wife and daughter to accompany Nightingale on tour in exchange for fame, fortune and money. A critique, a condemnation of people's desires. Finally, "The King of the Circus" not only brought together Oscar-winning musicians Benjy Pasek and Justin Paul, but also Michael Gracie, who was a visual effects supervisor, as the director to escort the whole process of "The King of the Circus" in stage design. It will bring the audience a world-class shocking experience, just like watching a big show in Las Vegas. The audience at the scene also commented: "All the dances are done in one go", "a top Hollywood song and dance show".
