The Greatest Showman, starring Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron and Zendaya, is one of the greatest musicals I have ever seen. The first time I saw it was in the theaters and I fell in love with the cast and the songs. Since that time, I have seen the movie many times again and listen to the songs hundred of times. The story line is amazing and has you on the edge of your seat every scene.
In the beginning Hugh Jackman, playing P.T. Barnum, is a poor boy who meets this young girl and they fall in love. They sing “A Million Dreams” and this is one of my favorite songs of the whole movie. You watch them grow up and eventually get married and have 
two little girls. His daughters help him to open a museum with odd people. Some extremely short, tall, fat, hairy, etc. In the beginning he doesn’t get much success, but as he keeps working on it, and never gives up, his circus begins to become a hit. He eventually get invited to see the Queen of England with his whole circus.
As he begins to get famous, he and his family move into an extraordinary house and his oldest daughter joins the ballet. However, she faces judgement from the other girls because of who her dad is and he is looked upon as a disgrace to the community. However, P.T. Barnum doesn’t let this discourage him, and encourages his daughter to do the same. Eventually he meets Philip Carlyle and convinces him to help him run his circus in the song “The Other Side.” This is also an amazing song, but all of them are.
However, there are many difficulties that the characters have to overcome throughout the movie. First of all, P.T. Barnum’s circus isn’t an instant hit. Many people hate the idea of it, actually, and some people set the tent on fire. This causes Philip to be in the hospital for many days and Anne Wheeler is there by his side the whole time. This introduces 
another problem. Philip and Anne are in love, but she is a disgrace to society because she is black. But, they keep fighting for each other, and they sing my favorite song together, “Rewrite the Stars.”
Overall, this is one of my favorite movies ever! I love every minute of it and the cast and soundtrack is amazing. This movie gives me motivation and hope that I can do anything that I put my mind to. It also teaches me that it’s okay to be different than everybody else, and even good to stand out. Like P.T. Barnum said, “No one ever made a difference by being like everybody else…”
beautiful scene. During this part, Nick and Rachel are looking at each other, and he mouths, “I love you,” to her and she mouths it back. This moment makes me tear up and it is my favorite part of the movie.
on her mind. When she is on the plane, Nick chases her down and proposes to her again. Except this time, it is with his mother’s ring. Everyone on the plane is watching, and of course Rachel says yes! Now that Rachel knows that Nick’s mom approves, Rachel can feel very confident and accepted by Nick’s family. In my opinion, this is a great ending to a great movie.
allegiance between the dark side, and the good side. I am always wondering why he did everything he did, and I’m can’t fully grasp how everything ended up being for the better.
who was guilty for all these things. It turns out that Snape was actually trying to steady Harry’s broomstick and stop Quirrell from successfully helping Voldemort from possessing the sorcerers stone. So, in the first book I know that Snape is actually trying to help Harry and that he is on the good side.
hearted to kill one of his friends, and a great wizard, even if Dumbledore had told him. I also don’t understand why Snape had to wait to the very end to prove his true loyalty, if he had in the sixth book, he could’ve helped Harry in look for horcruxes and maybe he wouldn’t have died.
Voldemort ever found out, he would be dead. Also, his intelligence to be able to keep his true identity hidden. It is because of his bravery and determination that Harry is able to defeat Voldemort once and for all.
reading the books and watching the movies for as long as I can remember. Harry Potter is such a brave, courageous character and he truly inspires me to be confident. I really enjoy Harry, Hermione, and Ron’s friendship. When they first meet, on the train, when Hermione fixes Harry’s glasses, and tells Ron he has dirt on his nose, makes me smile and laugh every time I see that scene. Later in the book, their friendship is displayed when Harry and Ron help Hermione with the troll in the bathroom. By the way, she was only in the bathroom because she was crying when Ron called her a know-it-all, which is very ironic. After that moment, they rarely left each others side and we can see their friendship grow as the book continues.
order to just get into the trapdoor. Furthermore, after they even got past fluffy, they had to pass many other challenges and obstacles. For example, the devil snare, which almost killed them, and the chess game. My favorite quote from that scene is when Hermione says, “You’re a great wizard Harry, you really are.” Harry: “Well, not as good as you.” Hermione: “Me? Books, cleverness, there are more important things. Friendship bravery, oh and Harry, just be careful!”
wanted to go under the trapdoor. Even though he failed his attempt, it was the courage that was rewarded. Neville was the real MVP! Leaving Griffindore with a great ending to the year, Harry, Ron, and Hermione now have to say goodbye to their new best friends. When they are getting on the train, the song, “Leaving Hogwarts” is playing. Whenever I hear this song it makes me want to cry because it is such a touching scene. Hermione asks Harry and Ron, “Doesn’t it feel odd to be going home?” Harry replies, “I’m not going home, not really.”
