main character
P. T. Barnum was poor as a child and became an orphan after his father, a tailor, died, but he had a rich imagination and created splendid shows based on fresh ideas. Some criticized him as a freak show, but his performances, which had the ability to captivate the public, showed people a new world of fantasy.
He became known to the British royal family, and introduced Jenny Lind, a Swedish opera singer he met there, to the United States, which led to great success. While on a national tour, he realized the importance of family, not fame or money, and returned home.
A scene that left an impression on me while watching The Greatest Showman is when P. T. Barnum tries to stop the circus performers from entering the party, laughing and laughing, because he is afraid that the upper class will be surprised, and he makes excuses that there is only an hour left until the show and that no one will pay to see them if they keep going like this. As soon as P. T. Barnum closes the door, they can hear him praising Jenny Lind and toasting her. The circus performers who were treated coldly vow to no longer hide away like before, and they confidently pass by the party hall and boycott protesters and return to the circus.
In particular, this scene is memorable in that the circus troupe sings together, This is me, a song expresses themselves.
I lived my life worrying about others, acting like I was fooling myself, and worrying about others being disappointed in me, but this movie made me realize that my original self was just me, so I was able to express myself with more confidence. It is also a great movie that reminds me of why I work hard and makes me realize the importance of family and friends. And I thought that I shouldn't do things that harm others and embarrass myself by having too many capitalistic thoughts about profit.
Let's not hide ourselves too much and show our true selves. This is me, so don't hate yourself, but love yourself for who you are. My appearance is not something that can be hidden from others. I had a mindset to think about the important things in my life and not to value only the essential things. Let's not forget the important things, let's remember the important things and live.
