| "And the message. And the story. And the performances. And the dancing. And the movie as a whole." Bingo! I couldn't hum a song from the show upon threat of death. Not fond of the musical style, personally, but it suited the movie well enough. As far as the message goes, well, the real Barnum almost certainly took advantage of his freaks rather than uplifting them, but he also was never a ringmaster, to my knowledge, and was a rather dumpy-looking man who (SPOILER ALERT!) Jenny Lind never set lips on (END SPOILER ALERT!) I cast all that aside and went along for the ride. I quite enjoyed it. It's a feel-good, fun to watch, flashly little flick, full of smoke and mirrors, sprinkled wirh glitter and sequins, tied up with a happy ending bow. What's not to like? |
