The Best Greatest Showman Songs Based On Scene (Again)

SPOILER ALERT!

The Best Greatest Showman Songs Based On Scene (Again)

Welcome back to the sequel of "that Greatest Showman article" you read last week because you were bored and it popped up on your timeline. If you haven't read the preceding article at hand, my profile is just a click away. The last article covered the top three, but this week I'm adding three more.

4. The Other Side

My personal favorite song off the soundtrack.

First of all, this song takes place in a bar, where P.T. is trying to convince Phillip to take his shot at the circus from his current pretentious lifestyle.

HIS SHOT.

IN A BAR.

I am amazed at the least. The English major in me was stunned at first sight.

The glasses are continuously being thrown around the table, for Phillip to take, such as the offer being thrown his way.

Eventually, Phillip takes this shot, and a partnership is created.

Regardless, Zac Efron and Hugh Jackman singing together is a recipe for success.

5. Rewrite the Stars

Where the epitome of love barriers is addressed, almost deja-vu in relation to P.T. and Charity Barnum.

Their struggles are displayed in the circus ring, calling on the exact problem from society about the two being together - the circus.

They're both trying to hang onto the rope, or their hidden admiration for each other, and Phillip literally helps her go through hoops, such as their relationship would in real life.

Different variations of the two hanging on to each other to try and make it are displayed throughout, another reference to the hardships of a potential relationship.

Did I mention Zendaya did her own stunts during this? Legendary.

6. This Is Me

Empowerment: a definition.

Being in a circus is essentially looked at as a group of outcasts coming together to amaze people at what they can do, and also make them thankful they do not share similarities.

The bearded woman in the show displays she is no longer embarrassed by what she cannot change - a character progression from the beginning of her career, when she could hardly come out from behind the curtain.

The circus crew as a whole finally comes to terms with who they are, and don't care what the world has to say. The group even openly performs in the middle of the chaos surrounding people who relentlessly criticizes them.

Not to mention, Anne doesn't show Phillip any mercy while looking at him during the performance - she isn't what society would want her to be, and doesn't care for the "swells" approval to make her worthy.


Three more scenes before The Greatest Showman comes to a close, but you won't be disappointed.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
