A point I haven’t seen made yet, is that while the different people were brought together to draw crowds, they WERE brought together. Before , they all were isolated and mostly alone. Weak against a world that rejected them at best. Together, they were stronger, and had a community to rely on for emotional support. Often the “freak show “ was a tight knit surrogate family , a tradition of necessity that persists into today within any group of society outsiders.

“You are so talented, blessed,extraordinary,unique, beautiful. They don’t understand but they will.” One of the best lines and scenes in the movie in my opinion

Among Barnum's "freaks," the film portrays Asian conjoined twins. The actual twins were Chang and Eng Bunker, two brothers born in Siam (modern day Thailand), whose heritage was the basis of the term "Siamese twins." Chang and Eng retired after their life in P.T. Barnum's circus to North Carolina, got married and had eleven children and ten children, respectively. However, they became destitute after the American Civil War and went on tour again. They both died in 1874, Chang from a brain blood clot and Eng from heart failure, or shock (the sources differ), merely three hours later.

Being in his show was probably the only good line of work they could get at the time. I'm not defending the abuse he caused them. But I will say it was the only decent line of work people like them could get at that time. Freaks couldn't be bankers, merchants, or much of anything without being harrassed and discriminated. For what it was worth. It was the best job they could have.

Also, it never marketed itself as being historically accurate. Edit: I would like to add that I was less informed when I made this comment. Barnum did love his animals, just didn’t know how to properly care for them. He payed his performers very well for the time period. He later became an abolitionist (opposed slavery). I apologize for being less informed. I still don’t think you should be looking to Hollywood films for historical accuracy.

I can't imagine how hard it must have been for them to do all of that choreography (and even some gymnastics, to boot!) attached to each other! AMAZING!

What I find so interesting but at the same time rather beautiful in a unique way is that when he was recruiting all those people. He didn't look at them let alone shocked at their bizarre things, or what others say "Freaks". He knew they were what people would say freaks, but the thing is that he was being drawn to them so much when he met each one he took a moment to understand a bit of them. Like at the first guy when he spoke to him about being a general and riding a horse wielding a sword. He knew how to talk to them without even a second thought. He knew how to look at them and make them feel more welcome or actually accept him in return, his passion for creating the greatest show led him to all the people he recruited, to which in the end what he gave them ironically was the greatest thing a family, just as the bear lady said. Not a ounch of him finding them strange, just "Unique" and "out of this world" kind of mind with a mix of passion in some way, you can just see it in his face and how he approaches each of every person he brings onto the show.

he can see the best of people, that's what great about this guy...

She was a divorcée once to Richard Elliot, a Barker, but it was a bad match because she was almost 16. Then she married her childhood sweetheart, William Donovan, a wardrobe man, but he died two years later. Unfortunately she didn’t live a long life. She got extremely sick in Europe. During a tour in France she had to stay in a Hospital in Paris for six weeks. Then joined back with the troops in Nimes. Later finally home to Brooklyn on May 13th. She remained in her apartment quarantining. She slowly got better then strangely became worse. She died in October 22nd, 1902 at 3 am. Cause of death was Tuberculosis. She was nicknamed “Jonesy”. She died at 187 Cornelia Street.
