image from YouTube
Sometime I wonder why some people are rich why others are poor. I wonder why life favour some people while others find it hard to survive. Some people go through family trauma, hardship, lack of education. At this point they feel like there's nothing good about their future. Do you at some point experience that's negative feelings?
I mean growing up to see everyone around you living a wealthy life but your own is like a curse. That's not all, the painful part, you loss someone you love so much.....
Or are you in this categories which feels like they different from humans because of their body looks, agenda and appearance?
In this movie I want to share here, you will learn about how a man's life change for poor to being the most popular showman across different countries. **You'll also learn about how he use his success to bless people who were less value in the society. **
You'll also learn about how thinking out of the box can give up a better view of to do, something you never have expected. We'll come into conclusions that success is not always by coming from a rich background. I will also talk about how you can maintain your standards and your circle in a long race to success. What's the movie? let's find out.

The movie that reflects a part of my identity, culture or experience is a movie by name; The greatest showman. This movie begins with a young boy who had the ambition of being a snowman. I will explain what shoman means but before then, he live with his Dad, his father render services to the wealthy family. The boy in service manage to fall in love with a young girl. The funny part about it how they manage to fall in love without saying a single word.
But their love didn't last as the girl father wasn't giving them a good eye, he sent to a boarding school. BUT THEY MANAGE TO COMMUNICATE THROUGH LETTERS. At the young age, he lost the only person he had in this world, his father. And at some point he had to stole while trying to survive where he was caught. He started begging in a the street.

>Never too late for improvement
When you're new into a new profession or skill you might not understand all the details about it. most time you have o do extra work to move your business. You might be wondering why your business is not moving, right, why not try something new. Let me show what what I learn from this movie.
when Barnum started the circus, he didn't have any audience. If you watch the movie you'll see how he had to advertise it on paper sharing it across the street, him and his family. But unfortunately no one was paying attention to him. They were like; who's this one......no one supported him except his wife and 2 daughter.
Luckily to him, his daughter gave him a brilliant idea. Something that changes his life forever. What's was that? Improvement, plan B. what's the plan? They reach out to some of people the society sees them as crazy, weird because of their nature, their statue, their behavior and so.
Here is their new plan:
You won't believe how their first show looks like. Everyone was amazing. For the First time in their life people see them as humans just like everyone. What about me?
If plan A is not working, why not try something new, who knows what it might turn too? I SHOULD BE OPEN MINDED AND READY TO LEARN AND IMPROVE.

>Loyalty
After the circus was burn out. Their source of income end. it's was as if it was their end. mini didn't have money again to pay the crew. No more show, no more noice in the street. But what happen next?
The crew came to barnum and he told them there's nothing left and no money to continue the show. I was surprised they way all of them in one mind explained to him that they are after the money. They explained that Barnum have make them become popular, traveling to different countries, from one show to another. Now they are willing to continue they show even with no money.
That's when the song WE'LL COME BACK HOME comes in. The happiness seeing all of them dancing happily, no discrimination, no partiality, everyone in action. It's amuse me. Am happy to say that their new show, with grand entry was far between than before.

>Fulfilling promises
Barnum was a lover boy. I mean love at first sight. At a young age, he show an abandoned house , they both dance and played inside the house. Few years later after he finally make money, he renovated the place and give his a wife a surprise she will never expected. That's how they proved their self that even that their parents were not happy with them; of course Charity's father was still doubting that Barnum would not be able to take care of Charity.
But after many years he proved that he can keep his promises. I don't want to say much on this but LET MY YES BE YES. It doesn't matter how long it might take to fulfill it.

>Treat your circle well
Your circle are friends, might also be colleague, people who are close to you. Barnum makes sure everyone is okay, both physically and mentally. That's why even after the circus was burn out, they all came back to him.

>Have a balance view of fame
From the movie there was a point where he was flowing with the family which nearly breakdowns his family. The worst part is that the Jenny lind the swedish singer who he hired was already eyeing him, giving him a green light though he avoided it. At least she kissed him on a stage while on spotlight. The picture spread like a bullet to charity. I didn't well end well though. I should have a balance few of fame so that I Will not lose what I use a decade to build.

Like i said my favorite character are:
- Barnum
- Jenny Lind
- The show performance (the dwarf, tattoo man and bearded woman)
1. Barnum shows that we can fulfill our plan or future only if we stick to it. Fail many times but he didn't give up.
2. Jenny lind is a swedish singer, oh my God you should listen to her voice, so talented. On her first performance in circus, the crowd has to stood up and show how happy they are in her performance.
- The circus performers, they took a bold step, feel confident and ready to show the world that they are also human just like any other person. Their performance in queen of England say it all. The verse goes like this....
"am not scared to be seen"
"I made no apology"
"this is me"

When it comes to movie am not really a fan, but the one I watched by chance are Aquaman the lost kingdom and
Now let me talk about Aquaman. The story behind this movie which i think it's important or make sense it the motivation behind it. Though it's a fight movie but at the end you must one or two from it. For me the motivation is to protect the person I love even if it means to make peace with my enemy(that's what Aquaman the king did)
Secondly, if you have been following me, I talk about a movie CRAZY BESTIE. It might be inspiration to you but it means a lot to me. For you to have someone outside your family who have your interest at heart...... cherish it. That's all I have to say.
