The Greatest Showman| My Ratings & Thoughts

-

I saw The Greatest Showman in the cinema, with my brothers and parents, on the Third of February. I was going to write this post much earlier but I never got round to it, so here it is now. This post is going to be a little different from my other reviews, and I also don't really want to give anything away for those who have not watched it yet. But if you haven't seen it, you really should as it was really really good.

After we watched it, and we were in the car on the way home, my dad asked us all what we would rate the movie out of ten and my answer was eleven and I my brothers got annoyed as eleven out of ten is not possible. Anyway, I am not changing that. It is still, an eleven out of ten.

I loved the colours, and the cast, and the music and the acting. In fact, I wanted to re-watch it before the movie was even finished. I love romance, musicals and historic movies and this covered each of these, some more than others. It was a musical, for sure, and there was romance in it too, and it is loosely based on  P. T. Barnum.

I wanted to watch the movie very soon after I first heard about it, and there was no movie on my families side to watch it so I refused to listen to any of the songs, or see the trailer for a long time. Then some of my online friends and some people I follow on Instagram kept going on about the movie and the songs and then I gave in and watched the trailer and from then I must say I was pretty much obsessed. 

The movie stars
 Zendaya, who I had heard of before but never really linked her to a face for ages, 
Zac Efron, who I fell in love with from the moment I first watched High School Musical, 
Hugh Jackman, who I had heard of before but never really paid much notice-and now I am kind of obsessed with him...
he was amazing in the movie...
utterly amazing.
 He has an amazing singing voice too. 
And, oh...
I can't forget Keala Settle, as she is amazing too.....
                                                  The whole cast was amazing!

So, as I said before I rate the movie a 11/10.
I would rate the dancing and songs a 9/10 or maybe even a 10/10.
And the cast a 9/10
I know, I gave very high ratings.
I can't help it.
I just loved everything about this movie.


My favourite characters were B.T Barnum, Lettie Lutz, and Tom Thumb. 



My favourite song in the movie was The Other Side, which was sung by Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron in the movie. 
Then for me came the most popular song This Is Me, and then A Million Dreams. 
But of course, I love all the songs.
And have the soundtrack on my phone and listen to them a lot, especially "The Other Side"
Who isn't playing them all the time, at the moment?


And, for those who have not seen the movie...again I think you should see it. I am sure you will really enjoy it.
If you haven't seen the trailer, here it is:



And, if you have seen the movie I would love to know what you thought.
Which was your favourite song?
Do you want to see it again?

Avengers: Endgame|| My Thoughts & Ratings 🍿

Not that long ago I would have very quickly turned down watching this sort of movie because I was so sure I wouldn't be interested in them, and I used to be very particular about the films I liked to watch.But with a lot of pushing from my dad and brother, and comments about movies from one of my best friends, I finally gave in and decided to give them a try. And I for sure had been missing out, even though I haven't seen many of them yet at all. But because of this I now have a lot of movies I need to catch up on, so if anyone is up for a long movie night hit me up!  I haven't seen any of the other Avengers movies, because of my selective choices of movies, so I must admit I was a little lost in some parts of the movie as they referenced the previous movies in this one. But I really enjoyed the movie, and I really need to watch the others. It's always entertaining going to the cinema, but I wasn't expecting to actually enjoy the movie as much as I did. And even t...

Lost In Paris?! - Storytime

I can't remember the year I went to this school, but I went to a school near to where I live which was bilingual. There were students from across Europe but most students were Swiss. I didn't like my main class teacher very much but I am not going to be talking about class. Instead, today, I am going to talk about our school trip to Paris, France. The French class I was in my brother was part of too, which had its positives and negatives, which I also won't go into but our class was small because we were one of the "learning french as foreign students" class. So, for this camp there were about six students and my main class teacher came along too, of course, and my English teacher, which was not the same English teacher as my brother. This trip is actually the first time ever I went to Paris, and so far the only time I have ever been. And the visit did not go very well because a lot went wrong. The whole trip was also done in just two days, as far as I r...

Saving The Stranger| Short Story (Part One)

-
It was a warm spring day and outside the birds were singing. Jessica stood alone in the cold and dim underground station, after spending the Saturday morning shopping, in London, with her friends, and waited for the train to come. The world seemed to be at peace, but Jessica felt strange, as if something bad was about to happen. Something bad. She just couldn't think what it was.  Suddenly, just as the train was pulling in, Jessica saw a flicker of something black to the right side of her. She shrugged, and got onto the packed train.  Surprisingly, she found an empty seat beside a young man, of about twenty. He was wearing a navy blue cap and a black coat, which was strange as it was rather too warm to be wearing a coat. He was reading the Daily Mirror newspaper, and seemed to be very interested in it as he did not look up once. But as she looked at the young man, she was sure she had seen him before. Somehow, he did not look like one of those men that worked in London. He l...
