Song and dance movies always surprise me and shock me. The most important thing is the plot and emotions conveyed by the music.
Most of the movies I watched before were Disney movies, animations, or live-action movies. I watched "The Sound of Music" and "High School Musical" when I was young, but maybe I wasn't very good at listening to music at that time. I have gradually realized my love for music in recent years. I have time to go back and look at these excellent works.
The opening of "The King of the Circus" was "The Greatest Show", which exploded. I even thought that if I listened to such a performance live, it would be even more shocking. Unexpectedly, this is just the scene of the little boy who saw the dress in the window, and he already had enough imagination at that time.
When the boy sang "A Million Dreams", the picture of the movie was frozen in the reeds by the sea. As the song progressed, under the light of the setting sun in the distance, the boy pulled his beloved girl and ran to his secret base. It was an abandoned villa. The leaves outside the villa were withering. Inside the villa were all the treasures that the boy tried. The most touching thing was that when he was beaten for robbing bread, a stranger who had never lived was as poor as him. The person gave him an apple, and his dreams are constantly nourishing and growing.
"Come Alive" was Barnum Circus's debut, and there's no question that the song brought us joy and energy, and we couldn't help but dance with it.
"The Other Side" is a song that Barnum encouraged Philip to join his circus in order to attract the upper class. The lyrics are mutual bargaining chips, admiring Barnum's courage to gamble, and also lamenting that Philip dared to give up his stable and comfortable comfort zone courage.
Jenny Linde's "Never Enough" not only fascinated Barnum, but also made countless people in front of the screen admire it. Even though she knew that the actor used voice instead, she also used the form of real singing, which made her sing. People admire not only the progressive singing voice from weak to strong, but also the performance of the actor himself to the song, which progresses synchronously with the singing voice. At the same time, it is worth pondering about the expressions of the actors. Ann and Philip are in love with each other, their hands close to each other, and Ann's expression is relaxed after holding hands, but Philip was still afraid of his parents' eyes at that time, and finally let go of her. hand. Barnum is addicted to it, or more likely because he thinks this will be another gimmick for him. He has been observing the expressions of the audience, and it can be seen from his later performance that he is now addicted to money. "Never Enough" at the end is no longer full of dreams, it is the sound of broken dreams.
"This Is Me" is perhaps the most touching song. People in the circus may be a group of weirdos in the eyes of the world. There are always many unusual beings in the real world, or some are just like An/Ba People like Nam were not from a good background, but who said that being different should be looked down upon? Everything is reasonable when it exists, when will we learn to respect it? I think it is the best respect to look at everything with a normal heart.
Is it possible to completely ignore the eyes of others? Most of them can't, let alone those who are relatively weak. They are sensitive in their hearts, and they are fed up with being treated coldly, so they don't even believe that they can have love. "Rewrite The Stars" is told from the perspective of two people. Philip thinks that they can not care about other people's eyes. He wants to rewrite the stars with Ann, but in Ann's view, the difficulty is far more difficult than imagined, and they cannot break through. The worldly cage, no one can rewrite, the stars, we can't do anything about them. The interesting point is that this aria was when they were practicing, and Ann was in the dominant position at first. Every time Philip tried to catch her, he failed, but later, Philip slowly found the initiative, He is the one who wants to change, does it also foreshadow the final result of their love?
Charity is also brave, she gives up everything and is willing to follow Barnum everywhere, she doesn't care if he is glory or fall, she just wants to be with him. This risky act is like Tightrope.
"From now on" is a new start, after enjoying the applause and ridicule, and this time, it is no longer to wash away the glamorous ridicule, this time, for real happiness.
"The Greatest Show" is to re-crown the king of the circus after being lost and found. Your past is only a past, you can't get rid of it, and you can't cover it up, but this does not mean that you have no chance since then. Your destiny is in your own hands. Change is not to change the past , not to cover up the past, but to change the future.
