The songs is so incredible and beautiful, through the songs the story can be imagine.

The Greatest Showman has some scene that used CGI efect is seen a little bit unreal. Especially, in the circus scene when there are lions, elephants, etc. But, it is covered by epic packaging of the film from beginning until ending.

For the acting in the film can not be doubt because the actors have a good quality in the film industry in Hollywood such as, Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Zendaya, etc. The chemistry each actors is good especially Zac Efron and Zendaya in the scene when Zac tries to persuade Zendaya and sing a song together.

The Greatest Showman have so much moral values that we can get. For example, every single person have an equal right and status no matter the race, physic, etc. As a human we can not forget good people around us to get satify in order to be loved by people, because every single person have haters.
