With a star-studded cast and extravagant production, The Greatest Showman (2017) recounted the life story of the historical figure, P.T. Barnum. Critics were highly disapproving of Hugh Jackman’s whitewashed portrayal of Barnum’s controversial past, claiming that it prioritized aesthetics over authenticity. They also regarded the storyline as too predictable and unfulfilling. The audience, on the other hand, greatly enjoyed the colorful production, the breathtaking choreographies, the celebrity lineup like Zac Efron, Hugh Jackman, and Zendaya, and of course the catchy soundtrack.
