YES, someone who finally gets it! Rebecca you are wonderful! I LOVED the movie, the multiple Love stories - Zendaya and Zac were awesome and there was a little subplot of EQUALITY. He is a handsome young Rich White Guy, chained by his family into being something he hates and She is a Beautiful young woman who is of mixed parentage (and maybe doesn't even know who one or both of her parents were), she is street smart, maybe had to...do things to survive, is looked down on by society & so on. Their love story has so many levels and sub stories. I LOVED it. Cheers Rebecca!
@@Topromn Well P.T. Barnum was a real person, and he did have a static Circus and then a tent version. Those are facts. So how much counts as "Based on a true Story"? lol I don't really care as it was a 105 minute long show with catchy music and some pretty Ladies in it. I had fun and got my monies worth. No one ever claimed it was 100% factually accurate. So nit-pickers, hair splitters and TH-cam Trolls...Bye!!
They didnt go into specifics, but they do make a point of labeling him a hoaxer. And now that i see the real barnum theres no question the romantic relationship between him and lind didnt happen haha
Circuses were absolutely exploitative of anyone who didn’t fit in the narrow standards of being “visually normal” but it’s also probably true that he took people society rejected and gave them a place where they felt they belonged & weren’t judged
He still made money off of them being rejected from society. Exploiting them for profit. And showed a lot of them off to the public, which laughed at them.
I actually got to go to their circus before it closed when I was little, it was magical, I had never seen anything like it. It’s really sad they closed. But I understand why. I went in 2015 so they closed pretty soon after
@@mas01claraabella74 they moved locations! I also got to go around 2015 and it was magical. They didnt have the original tent or building, but they still had the talent and love for the circus life
The sad thing is that not every circus does abuse their animals, but the image of the neglectful circus is so damned hardwired into the public consciousness.
This is a little dated - But Feld Entertainment (The owners of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus) Announced that in 2023, they are relaunching the show, Sans animals.. But I'm right there with you. The show was an annual tradition in my family going back to the early 80s..
I still love the Greatest Showman movie, but I do appreciate this video as I did some of my own research and found out a lot of these facts myself. I too was a bit upset about the portrayal of Jenny Lind, but I'm sadly used to Hollywood altering history for theatrical purposes. So while I do wish some of the the movie had been more historically correct, I do still like the movie a lot.
I love discussions about Barnum because he is not as black and white as people think, nor as black and white as people think things were in that time period. He started off exploiting an elderly slave, however he later voted to amend the Constitution with the Thirteenth Amendment. He tricked and hoaxed people, lied to them, but he entertained them. Even when his lies were revealed, many people didn’t hate him for it, because he gave them entertainment. The same way we know movies aren’t real, but we enjoy them anyway. Barnum was very much “the ends justify the means” type of guy. He may have “exploited” many different groups of people in his freakshows, though exploit is a strong word, but he made them extremely wealthy. Charles Stratton for example had enough wealth that by the time he was an adult, he could retire live out the rest of his life in wealth. Barnum and the workers greatly benefitted and were able to meet people just like them, such as Stratton who met his wife while touring. Ultimately, Barnum did quite a bit of bad, but he ultimately made up for it with the good he did and the wonder he brought to people.
As much as I love movies wanting to show people a small bit of history I hate when they leave so much out because not a lot of people will decide to look up the backstory/ history of the movie. I still love the movie though
@Roslyn Greavette Aye it 'tis! and I loved every minute of the Movie, Every song and Zendaya, Zac Efron & Hugh Jackman. Watched it heaps of times, bought the DVD & CD's! It's a Treasure!
@@englishatheart Christine, how could you? You broke me my Heart, You... a Grammar/Punctuation Nazi!! I really wouldn't believe it! A wonderful person like you (Oh no!)
I don't think this video is trying to say the movie is bad cos of this it's just pointing out the differences in reality to the movie, which isn't always a bad thing. No need to act so defensive
Very interesting. Whenever I see a movie I know its based on an actual story vs fiction I keep in mind that it's not necessarily going to be factually accurate and that's ok. I wouldn't change a thing about this movie but appreciate the info provided. Where I live we have Ringling brothers plus the museum home school etc. Even clown school in the town south of us. Love the circus but the back stories aren't the nicest. But one of my favorite movies that puts a gigantic smile on my face every time along with the message that different is NOT BAD. One of the best scenes is the lady who gives him the apple. All I see is the most beautiful and kindest eyes. Thanks for the info.
The movie doesn't portray Barnum as having a love affair. It shows him as more of an idealized, childlike man that was in awe of Jenny's talent. If wasn't until movie Jenny made an obvious advance that he realized what had happened and shut it down. (Terribly at that)
"So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." Isaiah 55:11 KJV
Let’s be honest the real PT Barnum would probably be A-OK with most of the inaccuracies, with the exception of the idea that he would even consider cheating on Charity.
Of course, a sequel would have to deal with the fact that he was in England when Charity had her final illness and death, and did not come home until after he married the 24-year-old daughter of his host, when PTB was 64 himself. Try explaining that to one's 3 adult daughters who had soldiered on, helping and then burying their mother, and were all older than their stepmother.
Barnum would love this movie. It's almost like the makers were channeling his spirit to produce a modern editorial written by his own hand. It's all 100% Barnum.
He gave them a way to work and survive in times of great prejudice. Movies, whether based on books or history, should be accurate in their portrayal to the audience or it gives a false impression of what truly happened. Still, the message is powerful, and timeless...there should be no hate because of differences.
Barnum's MO was to sell people hoaxes to give them happiness. I guess the greatest showman fits that. It isn't the truth, but man does it make a great show!
Love the movie BUT saddened to see so manny inaccuracys & fictional storylines added . So far from the truth of Barnum life story .Now I can say it is vagly based on his life story vagly based on SOME of the characters he employed with long contracts to his shows. Pitty Hollywood couldnt have bn bothered to be more accurate 🤔. Gess it's all about the dollar 💸💰, just like the real showman.
I guess your parents didn't teach you much about art and musicals. I'll be blunt....Good luck finding a Musical that is historically accurate. Sound of Music, Phantom of the Opera, Hamilton, etc; none of them are historically accurate. Musicals are whimsical by nature. The job of the art is to invoke different levels of emotional expression through music, dance, and singing. History is just the foundation or setting that inspires the art. If you want history, rear a book or watch a documentary. This is why I laugh at people who call themselves profession film critics and criticize musicals for lacking realism. It shows how little they understand about anything regarding film. Notice: No critic complains about the inaccuracies of a stage musicals (like Phantom of the Opera). Just because we shot it on celluloid, doesn't change the point of the art.
The real Jenny Lind and the real PT Barnum had no interest in each other. She thought of him as really rude and arrogant and he only cared about money with a big ego to match.
I always laugh when i hear "P.T. Barnum was an exploiter" Can someone tell me an entrepeneur or a businessman that werent exploiting everything they could? Ah! Yeah! No one can! lol Even if he were exploiting his staff, i still think that he gave a home and a sense in life to people that nobody wanted
I know, right? Especially when most of the people who comment about "how bad" Barnum was are youtubers and tiktokers, people who do the same thing he did for views, subs and money. I bought one of the last traveling sideshows (complete with a feejee mermaid and two-headed pig) and people LOVE it. They know it's all fake, but so is WWE and cartoons for God's sake. And yes, if it weren't for Barnum, many of his "freaks" would have been panhandling in the streets or living in squalor instead of buying mansions and owning racehorses. We're all gaffs in our own freakshows.
well because of the movie i learn to love the people who are not normal i like what was said by the journalist this is the celebration of humanity i love the director of this movie thankfully barnum existed how he use and paid the people for the show may look bad but that is nothing difference in being employed its all about being paid well that is all normal for business what matter is people like this survived the poverty when everyone doesn't even cared to help pt barnum paid them and gave them life where they became famous PT Barnum is not bad at all
I mean, it’s about as futile as pointing out that High School musical isn’t an accurate representation of high school and holy shit, is that Hasbulla? 2:30
Tbh the Greatest Showman could have just been about a fictional showman - it's so far removed from PT Barnum's real life, it is baffling that they claimed to be "inspired" by him. The movie is fine, if a bit odd how it portrays freak shows as places of acceptance 🤢
Unfortunately, that was the only place many of the more obvious different-looking and abled people could make something like a decent living. It DID apparently forge a sense of community amongst themselves-- There is that town in Florida where the circus used to shut down in the winter, where many of the performers had a close-knit neighborhood. Perhaps not as much now, since the circus itself has closed shop, but the survivors do still live in the area.
Oh my god if Barnum were here today he would eight that Ringling Brothers closed I wonder what kind of speech he would make on television because of that? He probably would try to bring it back knowing him and if I had the power to do it if I were the president of the US I would bring it back to.
Freak shows no matter what are unjustifiable. They should've renamed Hugh Jackman's character, instead of keeping him based off a man who exploited animals, and people with differencies that made society reject them. For the character he is based off, I'll never watch the greatest showman.
Did people forget this is a musical? Good luck finding a Musical that is historically accurate. Is Hamilton, Sound of Music or Phantom of the Opera historically accurate? NOPE! Musicals are meant to be whimsical and crafty by nature. History becomes the foundation or setting for the art. If people want historical accuracy, go read a book or watch a documentary. Irony that nobody makes this complaint if Greatest Showman was just a stage play. But because it was shot on celluloid, historical accuracy is suddenly a factor? Uh? No!
Look I'm all for excellent Musicals but PT Barnum is not a good person. They could have easily made this about a fantastical circus. PT Barnum is a bastard and deserves to be remembered as such.
I get so annoyed when my high school would play the song of the film. Like the film representing people ahead of their time. Clown world we are certainly in.
Even if Phillip Carlyle and Anne Wheeler are both fictional nothing will ever stop me from loving Zac Efron's and Zendaya's portrayals of them.
YES, someone who finally gets it! Rebecca you are wonderful! I LOVED the movie, the multiple Love stories - Zendaya and Zac were awesome and there was a little subplot of EQUALITY.

so much better than reading wikipedia. Thanks!
