The Greatest Showman - God and Barnum

The Greatest Showman—God and Barnum—Detecting Ribbons of Truth

Once more, I am using the Greatest Showman as my metophor and yes my tally of seeing this wonderful film at the cinema now totals 11 times! Each time I watch this movie or sing the songs, I learn something new and love it a little more. I’d go again tomorrow but it’s long run at the cinema has now concluded. I think special ones over the summer will continue especially outside viewings or sing-a-longs, so for me the appetite for further big screen viewings continue. Of course, the Blu Ray and DVD are just a few weeks away!

I am still talking to people about:

·     the impact this film has made;

·     how happy it leaves people feeling;

·     its messages; and

·     the wonderful songs and dance…  I could continue.

The point I do make though is … it is not the true story of TF Barnum and if anything it only has a ‘ribbon of truth’ through it. I wonder how many take the film as accurate and ‘real’ because it is based on a real life (albeit arger than life) figure.
