And since a lot of people told me that The Greatest Showman is a very nice show plus the fact that it became an asterisk movie me and Husky went to GSC to watch this show.
We went into the cinema without knowing anything about this movie. The only thing I know is it has Hugh Jackman in it. Haha.
Turned out that it is a musical, and a story about a man who wants to give his family everything that he can but when fame and money blinded his eyes, he made wrong decisions and everything goes wrong. Of course the ending was a good one, but it did remind me of what we really need in life.
All of us want a comfortable life, but when it becomes too comfortable we tend to reach out for more. More money, more success, more fame, more respect, until one day we are blinded by our own desires and become a fallen star.
From the book 1 & 2 Timothy: Watch Your Life and Doctrine which I'm reading lately,
"People who want to get rich face many dangers to their souls, they were not contented with what they already had but wanted more and more. What drove them was the love of money which is the root of all kinds of evil.
Money can be a potent instrument to be used for the good of others, but it can also overpower us and become our master. It can become our god."
The OSTs of the whole movie are really great. A simple yet touching movie with great songs. :D
One of my fav is Never Enough by Jenny Lind (Loren Allred)

Especially the scene where Jenny realised that Barnum never really fall in love with her, and was only impressed with her performance, and so she was left heartbroken because she had fall for him. I do think the way Barnum looked at her the first time he saw her sang is really like falling in love with her. Or maybe Hugh Jackman's really a good actor hahaha.
The last time I watched his movies was Logan, where he was dead at the end. Such a big contrast between Wolverine series and musical movies.
