The Greatest Showman [DVD]

Ladies and gentlemen, step right up! Prepare to be dazzled, delighted, and swept away by the mesmerizing magic of “The Greatest Showman.”The Backstory:In the grand tradition of P.T. Barnum himself, this film is an unabashed celebration of showmanship, dreams, and the extraordinary. Directed with verve and panache by Michael Gracey, it’s a kaleidoscope of color, music, and heartwarming performances. And oh, those songs! Composed by the Oscar- and Tony-winning duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (the same geniuses behind “La La Land” and “Dear Evan Hansen”), they’re like earworms that burrow into your soul and refuse to let go.The Ringmaster:Hugh Jackman dons the red impresario’s coat and top hat, striding into the center ring with the swagger of a lion tamer. His Barnum is a dreamer, a hustler, and a believer in the impossible. From the opening number, “The Greatest Show,” he beckons us with a wink and a promise: “Just surrender cuz you feel the feeling taking over!” And surrender we do, willingly, without reservation.A Million Dreams:Young Barnum (played by the talented Ellis Rubin) befriends Charity Hallett (the delightful Skylar Dunn), a well-bred girl who shares his hunger for something more. Together, they dream of creating their own destiny—a million dreams woven from starlight and sawdust. Their chemistry is as sweet as cotton candy, and you’ll find yourself rooting for them like a kid cheering for the tightrope walker.The Circus of Misfit Toys:Barnum’s circus isn’t just about acrobats and fire-eaters. It’s a haven for the misfits—the ones society deemed odd, peculiar, or downright magical. Imagine a parade of characters: the bearded lady who belts out tunes, the trapeze artist with wings made of courage, and the tattooed man who wears his stories on his skin. They’re all here, dancing under the big top, proving that life’s greatest spectacle is acceptance.The Queen of Hearts:Zendaya as Anne Wheeler, the trapeze artist, steals every scene she graces. Her chemistry with Zac Efron (Phillip Carlyle) ignites the screen like a fireworks display. Their forbidden love story—set against a backdrop of prejudice and societal norms—will make your heart somersault. And when they swing through the air, it’s as if gravity itself holds its breath.The Critics’ Tightrope:Now, I hear the naysayers whispering like carnival ghosts. “But what about historical accuracy?” they murmur. Well, my friends, this isn’t a documentary; it’s a symphony of wonder. Yes, P.T. Barnum had his flaws, but this film isn’t about the man—it’s about the magic he conjured. It’s about the thrill of the spotlight, the gasp of the audience, and the belief that even misfits can shine.The Grand Finale:As the final curtain falls, you’ll leave the theater humming, dancing, and maybe even doing cartwheels. “The Greatest Showman” isn’t just a movie; it’s a state of mind. It’s the feeling of being alive, of chasing dreams, and of knowing that sometimes, the most extraordinary things happen under the ordinary canvas of life.So, my fellow dreamers, grab your popcorn, cue the spotlight, and join the circus. Because in this magical world, we’re all ringmasters, balancing on the tightrope of hope.

This is such a great movie and it was nice to watch it at home, make our own popcorn! Prime video's are an excellent value! Paying to watch this movie, make our own popcorn (which was better anyway) in the comfort of our own living room is a price you can't beat! We even had the chance to watch the movie again, since we enjoyed it so much!

Love love love this movie!!

I hate musicals, but I love this movie!! have watched it 1 million times since it came out!

I love this movie it came nicely packaged no issuess I highly recommend it

Though we knew that it is a musical and barely any spoken words, we were amazed by the choreography and the music. Some familiar songs emerged. Wonderful cinematic experience. Will watch over and over.

I was very surprised to find this movie was very enjoyable to me (usually not a fan of musicals) so I have no issue with the movie. What I wanted to communicate was that after purchasing the 4k UHD physical version is that the redemption code is at HDX quality, not 4k...I spent some time on the phone with customer service and that was confirmed. I might have missed that in the details, but I believe that the digital quality should mirror the quality of the physical copy that is purchased (I wouldn't expect that purchasing a Blu-Ray would give me access to a 4k digital version)...and if it isn't the same, that should be on the packaging so that an educated decision on whether to purchase to lower quality digital is worth the purchase price.

Loved everything about this well produced movie.

Un film da non perdere con interpreti bravissimi ed una colonna sonora da 10 e lode

J'aime beaucoup ce film, je cherchais en blu ray et la qualité est juste dingue

Esta pelicula la vi 2 veces en el cine de lo increible que esta para mi era obligatorio comprarla en su mejor version ya que es una de las peliculas mas hermosas que he visto en mi vida, no soy fan de los musicales pero sin duda la historia, la musica, la letra de la canciones y las super coreografias hacen que te emociones ya que esta pelicula es todo un espectaculo audiovisual.La actuacion de Hugh Jackman es sublime en esta pelicula te olvidas por completo que alguna vez la hizo de Wolverine y solo vez a un gran padre de familia buscando una mejor vida para su familia, la pelicula te emociona, te hace reir, cantar y llorar. En familia se disfruta muchisimo.De lado tecnico es impecable Fox siempre entrega la mejor calidad en 4K tan solo hay que ver Xmen Apocalipsis y Logan para darse cuenta que si hay alguien que sabe de 4K es Fox, la imagen es increiblemente limpia y el HDR asombra la iluminacion exterior y las luces del espectaculo en verdad viven.Esta version cuenta con la mejor pista de audio ya que viene en Dolby Atmos algo exclusivo del disco 4K con 11.1 Canales disponibles para disfrutar la pelicula tan cual fuera un concierto.No es exageracion pero sin duda es una pelicula memorable si les gusta la actuacion de Hugh Jackman y disfrutaron la pelicula de The Prestige de seguro les va aEncantar ya que esta ambientada en esa epoca y se ve a Hugh Jackman en lo que es su mero mole.100000% recomendada gracias Amazon por darmela una semana antes de la fecha de lanzamiento oficial.

海外版ですけど日本語ありました、4kだけでなく通常Blu-rayにも日本語ありました。こちらの商品が国内版より安いです。画質も4kは一味違います。

Es una película excelente. A mí no me gustan los musicales, pero esta es genial y excelente.
