You know, a historically inaccurate movie used to make PT Barnum look good and trick people into spending money is exactly the the kind of thing Barnum would do. So, in a way, this movie really does capture his spirit.

@@ELisa-qf2mw He was actually kind of a mix of a bunch of people, mainly Bailey and with a bit of General Tom Thumb (from a Documentary I saw, apparently Tom was an actual friend to Barnum, he made him America's first celebrity and after they went their separate ways he continued to tour America and helped Barnum when his Museum Burned, like Efron does in the last bit of the movie). Now that I think about it, They probably could have been more historically acurate and still kept Barnum sympathetic had they focused on his relationship with Tom Thumb but I guess there ain't a lot of little people who can sing like Zac Efron.

@benmcguire2337 6 жыл бұрын

Fun fact: In Barnum’s original “murder” museum. He had a sign that said “This way to the Griffith.” However once you went through that door you were outside the building, and the only way back in was buying another ticket. Basically the first example of clickbait.😂😂😂😂

@ginny1006 6 жыл бұрын

The sign said "this way to the egress", essentially meaning the exit, which most people didn't know, they thought it was a sign pointing to another exhibit. The reason for this was he noticed people were lingering in the museum for too long, which was diminishing returns due to the fact more people could not fit in... definitely a problem if they're spending the entire day in the museum. That isn't to say it was a nice thing to do, but it technically wasn't false advertising. It was indeed the exit.

Agreed, but it's still based on something that people have heard of, making it more familiar, which means they don't have to try as hard to sell it. It's the difference between people being like "Oh it's a musical about PT Barnum" and "Circus movie musical." The first generates more recognition in the audience. Not saying it always makes sense, I agree this should've been a completely original story, I'm just saying that's how studio execs think.

Most people will probably watch it totally unaware that it is based on the life of a real man.

I can. Generic copy-paste pop music that doesn't move the plot forward, doesn't utilize in world characters singing abilities or any creative inspiration of the time period its "representing". It is soulless cash grab songs. Only one, maybe, two songs are directly connected lyrically. They are placed in awkward spots of the story sometimes. This is Me, should have been a big climactic song towards the end, when they finally stand up for themselves. But literally, the next scene, Barnum is ignoring her. Honestly, this was a cheap cash grab the real P.T. Barnum would've been proud of. And that isn't necessarily a good thing.

@leopagefiore 6 жыл бұрын

Eli N.S. and Snowwulf78, I kinda get what you mean, but the main character is still named P. T. Barnam in the movie, so it's going to be viewed as biographical. What Benzaiten was getting at is that if they had just renamed Hugh Jackman's character, people wouldn't be giving the movie so much flack for romanticizing the real life P. T. Barnam, who by all accounts was a sucktastic excuse for a human being.

What makes a character interesting is when they have nuance to them, when they are both good and bad the way humans actually are in real life. Also, the best part about this movie is showing how you can take a trait that has caused you misery and turn it into something you profit from by working hard yourself, accepting that the world is the way it is and carving a place for yourself none the less. It is a perfect message to be sent out in an age where people are coddled into emotional fragility and outrage runs amok.

It pretty much is. This trailer was much more accurate than the actual movie. P.T. Barnum was a terrible man. He had a partner Bailey, also a man, that they completely cut from storyline because he was worse than Barnum.

Saying all that, surprisingly perhaps I did like TGS a lot, but I'd comfortably choose la la land any day of the week

They could've just invented a fictional name that's slightly based on P.T Barnum than using the name itself.
