The Greatest Showman! - The Phenomenon

Post by Dusty52 »

I enjoy watching films but this film is something else, for me it was almost spiritual? I don't know but the combination of characters and songs made for a wonderful, beautiful story, for me never to be forgotten, it's got to be one of the best films I have ever seen, but what makes it so good? I think it is closely connected to our belief that family is crucial and should be our number one priority also that we need to empower others! Any more?

I loved it. It teaches people to be kind to those who are different.

When I watched it with my wife, I couldn't help but repeat the line from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, "No, no! Stop singing!"

The songs in this movie are supper catchy, and if I hear one of them, I can't stop singing it my head. This is not a good sign. These types of movies are made to stimulate emotion and our bodies response to music and a beat. But I personally wouldn't call it spiritual. It is more of a stimulation of the senses, at least for me. And there is a moral to the story I guess, but you have to watch inappropriate dancing and dress to get there. Now go watch some of the Bible videos, and then you'll see what a spiritual movie feels like.

everyone I know loves this movie haha.
It teaches good principles and morals, it has good music and teaches you to go after your dreams. Accepting people that are different, etc.

You can feel spiritual about something even if it's not mainly a spiritual movie like this one.
For me avatar the last airbender had some spiritual teaching moments in it. It was pretty awesome.
