Here's what I don't get about that excuse: isn't the whole message of the movie "love yourself for who you are and treat people who are different from you with respect and as human beings?" And isn't that completely against everything Barnum stood for? Also, if Barnum made a movie about himself, why would he ignore all the businesses he had before creating the museum and circus? To make himself look sympathetic? I just don't think it even works on that level, sorry!

@@MrAspiringactor Barnum was the humbug king and was first and foremost a master showman. Even if he would not believe in the movie's message, as long as the audience ate it up and were entertained, he probably would have been happy. I believe he normally answered to criticism about the fakeness of some of the acts with a shrug and something like "You had fun right? So why complain?" Though I will say not sure how Barnum would have felt about the Jenny Lind plot since it doesn't exactly paint him in a good light either

Yes, you understand. The Greatest Showman is so, so, so very dumb, and I love it so much.

For “This Is Me,” I think you’re half right, they definitely don’t deliver after the song, but it’s definitely where it is in the plot for a reason. Prior to that, all their confidence and willingness to be seen by the public is based on PT’s confidence in them. But after he starts treating them badly (not letting them into the party with “normal” people, making them wear their costumes to meet the Queen, making them sit at the back during the opera performance (I think?)), this song exemplifies *their* confidence in themselves, how they don’t need a “normal” person to be their conduit to the public. I think it’s perfectly placed (but yes needed some more followup).

So the reason why the Greatest Showman is beloved is because we wanted to feel things again and get drunk and movie delivered on that? Cool.

One thing I find interesting about this movie is how it’s the direct inverse of La La Land. I remember walking out of it and a lady in front of me was exclaiming to her husband about how this movie was everything La La Land wasn’t. The performances in the Greatest Showman were fantastic and the camerawork was... dynamic. But the plot and characters were meh. In La La Land, the performances (dancing, singing and whatnot, the acting was great) were meh the camerawork was less in your face allowing for slow, beautiful shots while the plot and characters were far more interesting. La La Land pleased critics while the crowd was disappointed. The Greatest Showman confused the critics and the crowd loved it. One of these days I should get high (off of life) and watch both. I may just unlock the secrets of the movie musical.

I'm really good at just going along for the ride of a movie, even when sober. And I enjoyed The Greatest Showman, I liked it. Doesn't do all the things, but it's fun! As for the dual logos, one for the nostalgia, one for the spectacle. At some point one of those editors really wanted to start the music before picture, but it didn't work over the 60s version. And so, both. And you didn't even talk about the amazing backdrop they used for that moon/rooftop scene! So cool.

I was supposed to work on this movie for only two days. Those two days turned into 10 months and it was as much a spectacle as the movie itself. I like your take on it.

Been hyped for this video for a while

Patrick, thank you so much for articulating why this movie is so WEIRD. I completely missed its massive success and watched it a few months after release, so when I found out people actually loved it I was mystified. I think Kendra's point about Glee going off the air coinciding with this movie is a really sharp observation I hadn't thought of!

THE QUALITY ON THIS!!! I can't believe I've never heard of this channel before. Immediately subscribing oh my god

This is the greatest CHARL!

This is kinda what I liked about the movie. It felt like they did away with the main conflict in the first 30 minutes, so I could just sit back and enjoy the spectacle for the rest of the show.

For reasons I can't explain I felt compelled to binged watch this season - Normally I really love the Patrick Explains videos where he is ranting to his parents, but this year the gags about Charl and Matt and Patrick going crazy didn't really hit for me, but I love the commentary so I kept watching. After watching the full season the past two days I gotta say I love it! Something about watching it back to back made me realize it was a narrative and not just running jokes. Great job!

This is the best thing I've seen all year

This narrative season has been the best thing I think I've ever seen on KZread, and this episode, in particular, was the greatest! (no pun intended... but heavily implied).

To me, it really feels like it's aping the Musical Biopic formula - except that there's basically no pretense of reality and it doesn't bother with the usual bookends they have. And it works!

I’d argue “from now on” is important to he story it’s Barnum deciding to change focus to his family and the other people in his life rather than himself and his own self interests

The fourth movie is the let's do a movie about one of the fringe characters (no small parts) and the fifth movie is the soft reboot. The 60s animated logo signals old hollywood prestige and the modern logo signals that same prestige seamlessly integrated into modernity. Alcohol is a slippery slope. Just smoke weed. Every day.
