The Best Greatest Showman Songs Based On Scene (Again)

SPOILER ALERT!

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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
