The Greatest Show

Hi blog. Been a while.

Before I go into the topic proper, is worth mentioning that this is the first time in this blog's not-so-storied history that I've written an entry entirely on my phone. Things sure have changed a lot since it's inception, when the best thing I could do on my phone was to play Snake!

But I digress!

The point of today's (or most possibly this years) entry is about my new favourite movie. Finally, a movie that could potentially dethrone Speed Racer (which I wrote about way back when Here) as my favouritest movie of all time. That movie is of course, as the title above suggests - 'The Greatest Showman'!

Disclaimer: Speed Racer will however, most probably be unchallenged in my book of records as the movie I watched most repeatedly at the cinema - must've been five or six times lol)

The Greatest Showman unfortunate will not have that opportunity, cos I only watched it almost 2 years after it's released.

By the way, I'm just realising the limitations of blogging on the phone (it's not pleasant!) so I'm gonna keep this as short as possible to save myself the torture. So let's get down to the nitty gritty.

What is it with The Greatest Showman that I love so much?

#1 For sure the music! I've come full circle into becoming a music junkie again, and boy the music in this movie, even for a musical, is absolutely remarkable in every way. In fact, I'm listening to the album on Spotify as I'm writing right now!

#2 It's a feel good story. In a time of life when I feel stressed out more often than I'd have liked, I can't help but to put on a smile everytime I watch this movie.

#3 I can somewhat relate to the conflicts presented to the characters so bonus points there!

Ok my hand is getting cramped trying to write on the phone already so I'll just stop my rambling here. If for whatever reason somebody else still reads this blog, go ahead and watch The Greatest Showman of you haven't already. And if you've already did, go watch it again.

And if you don't like it, you're a bad person who I hopefully will never have around me as company.
