Many people argue that the Academy Awards most of the time rewards the wrong film or performance. Last year "Moonlight" won Best Picture and to me "Hidden Figures" should have won.
This year "The Shape of Water" won Best Picture and to most people "Three Billboards" should have won. I was part of that group however that was until I saw "The Greatest Showman".
To me this is what going to the movies was all about. This film was a huge thrill to senses. From a great story to a great cast. At times I felt I was in tears because I was just loving this movie.
This film however was shunned at The Academy Awards. In fact it did not get a nomination for Best Picture will not prevent this film from becoming an endearing film like "The Princess Bride" & "Willy Wonka". Neither one of those films were nominated but those films are beloved today.
"The Greatest Showman" however did catch the audience's attention. It did stay in the top 10 Grossing Films of the week for months! It's opening weekend it took in less then $10,000,000 dollars. It ended up grossing almost $200,000,000 in the United States Alone. In fact after the opening weekend most box office watchers wrote this film off (I did). The film however proved it had legs and those legs could "Dance".
See this movie...
