"The King of the Circus" titled The Greatest Showman, a recent hot American musical. The film is adapted from the real story of PT Barnum, the originator of the circus . It tells that Barnum, the son of a tailor, relied on his infinite imagination and unremitting nailing spirit to complete his life counterattack step by step from the bottom of the society, and founded the world's first. A circus, living the American dream.
The value of the film is responsible for:
Actor Hugh Jackman's looks are as good as his acting skills. The reason why people like Hugh Jackman is not only because of his appearance and acting skills, because there are too many actors of these two types, but more importantly, his professionalism. Uncle Hugh said that his favorite is the "plot" Musical films, followed by musical films, followed by action films." People who have won the Tony Award must have true love for musicals, but for action films that are not true love, they eat protein until they don't want to eat it, but they spend 18 years. Perseverance and perfect interpretation of the Wolverine recognized by the whole world, this is professionalism.
The heroine, Michelle Williams, starred in her usual gentle image.
And another heroine, Rebecca Ferguson, has reached a new level of beauty, and it is estimated that only she can interpret Nightingale.
The supporting actress Zendaya's performance was amazing. Her last work was "Spider-Man: Homecoming", in which she played Spider-Man's little girlfriend, cynical and cool and sloppy, and became a singer and dancer in "The King of the Circus" High-altitude acrobatic dancer Anne. Her pink hair style is absolutely stunning, and it's no surprise that Zach is fascinated by her.
The plot of the film is not cliché, it is very simple. The story has its ups and downs, and until it ends successfully, Barnum, with his family, his team, and the audience, has been working hard to get closer to his dream.
The main line of the film is Barnum's original intention. He resolutely started his own business for the safety and happiness of his family. Although he experienced ups and downs during the period, he also had some confusion about his goals, but in the end he recognized his original intention and kept it.
On the basis of adhering to the original intention, this film has perfectly realized the counterattack of life, which not only has the American dream, but also conforms to the mainstream values. A group of freaks that the world can't bear, found their own home here and bloomed their own brilliance of life.
Since it is a musical, the musical must be a major attraction of the film. Sitting in an IMAX theater to watch a musical, the movie-watching experience is completely enjoyable.
Songs in the video (in no particular order):
The first is "Never Enough". In the film, the Swedish nightingale Rebecca performed the full version with passion, and performed the other half after being rejected. The two singers had different moods and conveyed completely different emotions. One is high-spirited and smug, the other is depressed and disheartened. All the shine of a thousand spotlights, All the stars we steal from the nightsky.
The second song is "From Now On". If it is not broken, it will not stand. If there is no fire, maybe Barnum's tent circus will not be born. When you are in desperate times, you will show your true feelings. When you are in trouble, you will never give up and share honor and disgrace. If you don’t give up, I will depend on each other for life and death. This has always been a good tear-jerking point.
The third song is "This Is Me", a group of freaks who are not seen by the mainstream society. They have been ridiculed by the world, but they have not given up on themselves. Instead, they have lived a beautiful and dignified life with their own efforts. Don't wonder why Ms. Beard sings so well, Kira Settle is also a Tony Award nominee. I am brave, I am proof, I am who I'm meant to be, this is me.
The other songs are: "The Greatest Show", the theme song of the same name, conveys endless joy and a positive attitude; "A Million Dreams" has a child's voice as clear as water, and an adult's voice is strong and powerful. In "Come Alive", do you want to live undisturbed, or to fight vigorously? The negotiation between Uncle Hugh and Zach in "The Other Side" is natural with the cooperation of music and dance, and it may be a foreshadowing for the princess behind; It's amazing; "Tightrope" Hand in my hand, grow old with your son.
Dance review in the film:
Comparing the two recent musical films "La La Land" and "Les Miserables", simply put, this film's singing and dancing are better than "La La Land" and emotionally better than "Les Miserables". In "The King of the Circus", Hugh Jackman, who played Wolverine, won the Tony Award, the top honor in the theater field, and brought a group of professional top actors to give everyone a top Broadway performance. The audience really watched it once and earned it once. In contrast, the dance skills of the male and female protagonists in "La La Land" are weaker, while "Les Miserables" is too depressed to mobilize the audience's atmosphere. In order to dance in "The King of the Circus", most of the actors are made up of normal people, and the few deformed people have very few dancing scenes.
In addition to the wonderful singing, dancing and dancing, this film also conveys a lot of emotions. Barnum and his wife needless to say, let's take a look at the lovely pair of Zach and Zendaya. Zack and Zendaya dedicated "Rewrite The Stars", making people want to fall in love every minute, even if the deer in your heart has been killed, seeing Zack and Zendaya, the deer will be resurrected with blood, immediately Jumping up and down makes your heart skip a beat.
"If you shed tears for missing the sun, you will also miss the stars." - Tagore, "Birds"
In the eyes of ordinary people, the freaks interpret their own lives. They burst out with a power that reaches the sky, which can dispel those sad emotions in us, let us have dreams and chase them, and show the most beautiful, romantic and most beautiful. dreamy side. If "Bojack Horseman" is arsenic for the soul, "The King of the Circus" is the ginger soup for the soul, which can not only wash away the arsenic, but also make your blood boil.
The spirit of the artist is forever:
"Bringing joy to others is the best art" - PT Barnum
Although PT Barnum has passed away, and the traditional circus treatment of animals also makes us reflect, the artistic spirit of PT Barnum is still there, and the belief that comedians and acrobats bring happiness to people remains unchanged.
Founded in 1921, Alessi in Italy is known as the "Dream Factory". It mainly produces plastic and metal household items, many of which are full of innocence and humor, making people smile in daily use. These include five "table sculptures", limited to 999 sets, representing the tableware of five circus characters.
A good movie can make people love life more, and a good artwork is the expression of your love for life. "The King of the Circus" is worth at least three brushes, once in IMAX, an immersive experience, once in the panoramic sound hall, savoring the original sound carefully, and once in the VIP hall, enjoying with your loved ones.
