    You know, a historically inaccurate movie used to make PT Barnum look good and trick people into spending money is exactly the the kind of thing Barnum would do. So, in a way, this movie really does capture his spirit.

      @@ELisa-qf2mw He was actually kind of a mix of a bunch of people, mainly Bailey and with a bit of General Tom Thumb (from a Documentary I saw, apparently Tom was an actual friend to Barnum, he made him America's first celebrity and after they went their separate ways he continued to tour America and helped Barnum when his Museum Burned, like Efron does in the last bit of the movie).
      Now that I think about it, They probably could have been more historically acurate and still kept Barnum sympathetic had they focused on his relationship with Tom Thumb but I guess there ain't a lot of little people who can sing like Zac Efron.

  • @benmcguire2337
    @benmcguire2337 Před 6 lety +2136

    Fun fact: In Barnum’s original “murder” museum. He had a sign that said “This way to the Griffith.” However once you went through that door you were outside the building, and the only way back in was buying another ticket. Basically the first example of clickbait.😂😂😂😂

    • @ginny1006
      @ginny1006 Před 6 lety +333

      The sign said "this way to the egress", essentially meaning the exit, which most people didn't know, they thought it was a sign pointing to another exhibit. The reason for this was he noticed people were lingering in the museum for too long, which was diminishing returns due to the fact more people could not fit in... definitely a problem if they're spending the entire day in the museum. That isn't to say it was a nice thing to do, but it technically wasn't false advertising. It was indeed the exit.

    • @AcolytesOfHorror

      Because big budget movies only green light stuff that's an adaptation or based on a true stories these days. Original screenplays are often seen as too big of a risk because there isn't a built in fanbase to guarantee ticket sales.

      Agreed, but it's still based on something that people have heard of, making it more familiar, which means they don't have to try as hard to sell it. It's the difference between people being like "Oh it's a musical about PT Barnum" and "Circus movie musical." The first generates more recognition in the audience.
      Not saying it always makes sense, I agree this should've been a completely original story, I'm just saying that's how studio execs think.

    First of all this is absolutely the best honest trailer I've seen in years. Second, I loved this movie and I think the choice of musical is a dead giveaway they didn't aim for accuracy, as is the fact they didn't go with "based on true story" or any other claim it was based on real persons. Most people will probably watch it totally unaware that it is based on the life of a real man.

      Andrew Wood Comparing Barnum to Hitler is kind of silly. Even some of the things in this video are twisted to make him look worse. For instance, when he got into politics, he was actually very outspoken and active against slavery. I'm not saying he was perfect, and I'm not even saying he was good. Neither of us probably know the answer to that question, at least not based on a musical and a comedy CZcams video.

      I can. Generic copy-paste pop music that doesn't move the plot forward, doesn't utilize in world characters singing abilities or any creative inspiration of the time period its "representing". It is soulless cash grab songs. Only one, maybe, two songs are directly connected lyrically. They are placed in awkward spots of the story sometimes. This is Me, should have been a big climactic song towards the end, when they finally stand up for themselves. But literally, the next scene, Barnum is ignoring her. Honestly, this was a cheap cash grab the real P.T. Barnum would've been proud of. And that isn't necessarily a good thing.

Barnam, who by all accounts was a sucktastic excuse for a human being.

    What makes a character interesting is when they have nuance to them, when they are both good and bad the way humans actually are in real life.

It is a perfect message to be sent out in an age where people are coddled into emotional fragility and outrage runs amok.

      Yup. Saw it on Christmas Day and while the musical numbers were great, I couldn't stop squirming at the inaccuracies. This movie was basically a high-class fanfic about P.T. Barnum.

    I honestly had no idea this movie was going to be a musical, so after the first 15 minutes my friend (who disdains musicals) angrily looked over at me and whispered “you suck.” Every time a new song came on I couldn’t help but laugh.

    This was amazing and summed up many of my thoughts about the representation of Barnum and the background filler characters who were real people with far more fascinating lives.

      M'lord (mylord) because he owns all the top hats + Logan, as in the X-Men movies = M'Logan. A great pun, pretty stealthy.

    Songs = good, film = bad. The marketing department for TGS deserve all the awards - I swear it was on every social media channel everywhere I looked in the month or two running up to its release. Anyway, thanks for making this Honest Trailer properly honest and informative! PT was not a nice guy.

    • @semanticsamuel936
      @semanticsamuel936 Před 6 lety +5

      I saw it because I loved La La Land, but it didn't sit well with me, and I'm bored stiff of Marvel now. I was bored quite a few years ago and I still don't quite understand why people still flock to them. I like sci fi and action, but Marvel films are for the most part bland and forgettable (though exceptions exist). I'll fully concede that TGS was a refreshing change.

    • @FirstLast-kp9jx
      @FirstLast-kp9jx Před 6 lety +8

      Semantic Samuel, it's called differing tastes. Some people, including me, actually enjoy the Marvel movies. Every movie ever made no matter how "bland and forgettable" will have people who enjoy them, people who hate them and people who are somewhere in between. Why can't we just let people enjoy what they like.
      PS, I fucking hate musicals.

    • @elliotwilsonpersonal3328
      @elliotwilsonpersonal3328 Před 6 lety +7

      Semantic Samuel yeah I was the same, I absolutely loved La La Land so I was hyped for this and it just didn't quite live up, I think in comparison it'd just not as cleverly written, it doesn't have the same complexity to it as la la land and the story line is all very cheesy and predictable. Saying all that, surprisingly perhaps I did like TGS a lot, but I'd comfortably choose la la land any day of the week

    • @semanticsamuel936
      @semanticsamuel936 Před 6 lety +4

      I would never have seen La La Land if it wasn't for my sister. I was back at my parents' house over the weekend and my sister was desperate to see it, so I went with her. Not the sort of film I'd ever have picked out to go and see myself, but I'm glad I did! I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy TGS in terms of a cinematic experience - it's a brilliantly made film. I just found the treatment of Barnum a bit unsavoury.

    Zendaya didnt usa a double, she actually trained and learnt trapeze to do her own stunts in the movie.
