Honest Trailers - The Greatest Showman

liked it 😁

Never in love sounds better tbh

Lipsync impossible 😂😂😂😂😂 impossible indeed🤣🤣

Who sang the new songs?

The lyric changes were amazing XD

When he said Dear Evan Hansen I screamed in joy

More like the greatest conman

I'm pretty sure the parody title, "Jerk du soleil" translates to "Jerk of the sun" in english

Haha in subscribing

Couldn’t keep it together at “never in love”😂

I get it's a joke. But..... judging PT Barnum based on rules invented in the past 50 years is called an anachronism. Its intellectually lazy for one, and hypocritical if you dont want people in the future doing that to you.

Do the great gilly Hopkins, we need to make that movie funny, not sad.

"M'logan" dead

Whoever wrote these parodies, BRAVO! They're even better than the original. It'd be even more impressive if all the statements mentioned were factually accurate. Are they?

I loved this movie because it shows true nature of a man

Pretty please do an honest trailer for Farscape!

I love the rewrite the stars redone song (or the these two people didn't even exist song)

Jokes on them, I only saw this as an in-flight movie.

Welp, at least you know what you're in for with the film. I held off on watching it for a while because of my distaste for the real-life Barnum. He WASN'T a great person.
So the show creates a version of Barnum that didn't exist but that we WISH had existed. Not perfect, still flawed and a victim of his own success, but at least closer to a decent human being tha people actually were in the late 19th century.
(As it turns out, the historical figure wasn't a supervillain so much as a product of his time. Still not a terrific person by today's standards, but far from the Evillest Entertainer Alive)
The soundtrack kicks ass (prior to seeing the movie I'd only heard "This Is Me"), and everyone in the cast is absolutely amazing in their roles. At the end of the day that's all I wanted.
And like youi said, it's not a superhero movie or a sequel.

I always wondered why didn’t the bearded lady just shave her beard, I mean there had to shavers around that time, or a barber, because the guy that runs the show and Zac Efron don’t have beards or mustaches, so there had to be someone or something that could do the job for her.

i mean they are really "two perfect physical specimen".

Next you'll be telling us that 300 isn't accurate!

This is the best thing ever

That wasn’t a body double for Zendaya. That’s actually her

Yeah, and Jesse gets her eyebrows waxed, not set up with Lestat. I still appreciate the honesty.

To be fair if this was based on true events it would be R and extremely racist and hard to watch in 2018. So the writers probably did a good job making it like they did ;)

I'll still enjoy the movie as a work of fiction. However, Zendaya spent hours every week learning how to do her own stunts up there

2:28

I was crying by the end 😂😂😂

I loved the hell out of this movie and nothing you can say will change my mind.

I made a parody of "Never Enough".
Forever aloooooone,
Forever aloooooone,
Forever aloooooooooooone,
Just me,
Just me...
Just me.

I love this movie but I hate pt Barnum and I want to ignore history but considering I’m part black, have a black mom and pureto rican step dad, and am bisexual that’s not really a good idea but it’s such a good movieee

Am I the only one who thinks that the songs in here were actually still kinda good???

A Late and Partial Defense of P.T. Barnum (But Actually Just An Excuse to Point Out Inaccuracies in this Video)

2:45- "I owned a slave" Yes. For his first ever "act", P.T. Barnum bought an 80-year-old partially paralyzed slave, starved her, pulled out her teeth, claimed she was the 160-year-old wet nurse to a young George Washington, and made money off of this lie. And yes, when she died, he charged money to see the autopsy. These acts were and are pure evil, and nothing else P.T. Barnum did can even begin to make up for this act. And even though nothing could ever begin to redeem him for these depraved actions, it is worth noting that later in life P.T. Barnum did involve himself in politics, and one of his policies was abolition. P.T. Barnum was pure evil at the beginning of his "professional" life, no doubt, but I don't believe it's fair to say that he stayed that way throughout his life. People can and do change, and I think P.T. Barnum exemplifies this. That being said, it's hard to argue that P.T. Barnum did not remain a racist and animal abuser for the entirety of his life, I cannot fault anyone for ignoring the rest of my defense in light of the aforementioned atrocities. I'm not saying P.T. Barnum was a perfect man, or even a great one, but for the *majority* of his life he was far from the soulless mini-Hitler he is often portrayed to be in videos such as this one.

2:47- "I killed six whales" Yes, but not on purpose, as this song makes it seem! Why would P.T. Barnum intentionally slay any of his attractions?! Four whales died because of an inadequate habitat, despite P.T. Barnum's best efforts. The other two whales died when P.T. Barnum's "American Museum" died. Hardly his fault!

2:48- "Gave a monkey a fish tail" Ah, the infamous "Feejee Mermaid". I can't say I endorse this con, but you must understand P.T. Barnum's point of view. As a result of his upbringing, P.T. Barnum was a ruthless practical jokester. His policy was in favor of false advertising *IF, AND ONLY IF* the consumer got something worthwhile in the end. For example, P.T. Barnum once advertised a "SIX-FOOT MAN-EATING CHICKEN" which was, in reality, a six-foot man consuming a plateful of chicken. But for every prank Barnum pulled on his customers, he had several real attractions, such as whales, elephants, and his (admittedly unfortunately-labeled) "freaks".

2:54- "He was an average Joe!" WHAT?!?! This man single-handedly invented merchandising, introduced opera to the United States, and invented the three-ring circus, among other things!!! Even if you hate the man, you have to admit that average Joes don't get musicals made about them!!!

4:04- "He said elephants could not feel pain" This is true, and I have no defense for it. Regardless of whether or not Barnum actually believed this, the fact remains that his circus used red-hot pokers and long, sharp hooks to train their elephants. I cannot and will not make any defense of this abuse.

4:09- "Used deformities for financial gain" Yes, but he treated all of his "freaks", (with the unfortunate exception of his slave whom he evilly used as his first "act"), extremely well. He provided food, housing, and jobs to people who would almost certainly be unemployed otherwise. After all, in this time period, those with deformities were discriminated against. And even disregarding ableism, people like conjoined twins, four-legged women, or armless and legless men simply couldn't do many jobs. Much less a job that sometimes payed upwards of $10,000 a week in today's money, often for doing literally nothing as a crowd gawked at you!

4:13- "They got hurt / They got used" Um... no. As I mentioned above, they were actually treated extremely well.

4:24- "'Cause his freaks got whipped, beat and caged for fun [Google it, that's all true]" NO!!! I was unable to find ANY articles making this claim!!! The closest thing I found was the case of "Zip the Pinhead", a black man with an enlarged, deformed head. Presented as "The Missing Link Between Man and Beast", he would be caged and told to shriek and rattle the bars before a terrified audience. Is this disgusting and racist! Absolutely, and I fail to see how one could possibly argue otherwise. But "Zip" took and performed his job willingly, and was housed, fed, and paid handsomely for it. And as a black man with a physical and mental disability, it's incredibly unlikely he would've found any other job. I was unable to find any sources claiming that any of Barnum's "freaks" were caged "just for fun", whipped, or beaten. Not even his slave received this treatment.

The improvised songs were great!

I was watching this film just after watching La La Land just imagine how disappointed I was in this film

Got to love been able to screw up history I guess
At the time science said elephants could not feel pain so that’s why he said elephants couldn’t feel pain because some biologists said it / zoologist .....later we found out he was wrong .
Yeah he was a ConMan swindler, cheater and all the stuff but hebalso exposed to other con artist and he made sure the audience knew that he was conning them something others didn’t do..... not that any of that matters

4:59 Laugh While You Can Barnum. An Elephant Never Forgets. (Dramatic Music)

"Does it bother you that none of your show is real?"
"The smiles are real."
That's both a line from the movie and something the writers probably had to tell themselves everyday during production.

Critic: I never liked your show.
Me:Well,I never liked you.
Also young P.T as Young Man Logan,and Hairy Elsa i’m sold Lol

... was this movie really released seven months ago? Feels like it’s been less than half of that.

"hairy Elsa" 😂😂😂😂😂 I can't breathe.

Do shameless!!!! U. S. Version!!!!

I get It, he was a bad guy. But how about judge the movie for itself?

LMFAO THIS HAS QUICKLY BECOME ONE OF MY NEW FAVORITE MUSICALS LOL US THEATRE GEEKS HAVE BEEN WAITING OH SO LONG FOR A GOOD ONE LOL

honestly, this was one of the best Honest Trailers I've ever watched...the historical facts over the actual music just brings it home.

Thanks Gos I didn't spend my money on this, it sounds terrible!

Have not watch the movie, I thought the songs included in the video was truly in the movie... until the "The these two people didnt even exist song" XD

"Top Hat enthusiast"

I don't really care if the movie wasn't accurate. I only cared about the music and that happy ending lol

Zendaya did her own stunts

Barnum was a greedy asshole

I think Mr bean should’ve played him like that looks more like him than Hugh jackman

I just hated this movie because it threw ten tons of crap at you and hoped some of it would stick.

Modern musicals are just...I don't know...bad. The last good musical was Paint Your Wagon.

After this video, every time a listen to the real songs, somehow the fake songs comes on my mind😂😂

Please Say: " Then I looked up, poop bird fell on me"

Finally, an American Bollywood movie!!

Zendaya did NOT literally go through YEARS of aerial practice leading up to this movie to be called a body double

after all this time, you guys finally made it, you ruin a movie for me.

Can you say: Laylow and Jocelyn are the best please?

NOT P.T

Dude, Dear Evan Hansen?!

lol... i love how screenjunks switches the songs in the movies... bast was still aladin :D

do love simon plz💞💞💞

Loved the movie and the honest trailer! Good job!

Anyone else feel like this movie would have been better served by having one of the disabled people or people with deformities be the main character?

WHERE IS HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL.

i think we all knew this wasn’t accurate. i didn’t know pt was such a horrible person tho. yet lots of widely enjoyed films aren’t historically accurate. take the sound of music: the oldest child was a boy, not a girl, named were changed, there was no romance with a nazi, and it didn’t happen like it did in the film. but everyone loves the sound of music

Honestly, I enjoy movies and shows that warp the original narratives. "Wicked", "Doctor Who", and even "Maleficent" intrigued me with their "what if" stories.

Can someone tell me what an honest trailer means?

"Oh dear god what is next" Quality

There should’ve been a song that was From Now On but it was about that Barnum never came to his senses. Or maybe a dog that was The Other Side that was about the deal never being made because Phillip Carlyle never existed or that Barnum was to greedy to have a business partner and share the payments.

Yeah, when I saw what Barnum truly looked like, I came to the conclusion that they casted Jackman just because he’s an amazing actor and would make them more money than anyone who looked like Barnum.

I would love to see a historically accurate P.T Barnum Musical/Movie.

Not to mention that chinese guy and those limbless dudes

Noooooooo

It’s ironic how people feel conned for inaccuracies in a story about a conman

So after worked as magician in prestige, now he become showman

pt barnum should of been called Huge Jackass

boi the singers are so good

Idk what it is about this musical but I fuckin hate it with all my soul

This honest trailer is so mean spirit.

Was it true that Zac's role was suppose to be Jeremy Jordan's?

A bit cruel. He'll always be Logan to me

Great movie!

It may not be historical, but it wasn't average. Shut up! I was amazing!

A lot of these comments seem to forget the central conceit of Honest Trailers: Its all about being nitpicky and overly-critical for the sake of comedy. That's the point. If you are taking it seriously, you are missing the point. Although this particular one is closer to a real critique than most.

please say 'I love you'

You guys really dig deep😂😂😂😂

I enjoyed the movie, even with all the historical inaccuracies. But my biggest problem was this movie was every single Rags to Riches cliche; along with every single character was one dimensional.

Honestly, this film should've focus on the circus freaks, on how they were exploited and discriminated, and how they eventually find the best out of the worst, swallowed all the humility and keep on fighting for their dream of being accepted, and in the end their talent outshines their deformity, and earned everyone's respect and love, with "This is Me" serves as the emotional climax, then the song might actually won the Oscar.
P.T. Barnum and Phillip Carlyle can both be the semi-villains. Barnum only cares about money, and shows no respect towards the freaks, but he's still willing to support them in anyway, not because he's a nice guy, but he can profit from it. Carlyle can be a character who falls in love with one of the freak, while he genuinely shows respect and sympathy to the freaks, but he's sympathy actually came across as patronizing, where he failed to acknowledge talent and deformity aren't binary, you don't have to be "normal" to be gifted, and he finally realize they are beautiful just the way they are.

Hairy Elsa? LOL!

Zac Efron is rich & white and Zendaya is poor and usually a body double lmao also the song parodies in the end are hilarious

"He sells tickets for kids to laugh at the Oompa Loompas"

An elephant never forgets
Hmm...Jungle Book?

Do arrow

You gave me a good laugh...until you announced your pandering gynocentric politics. Damn you!

How can a man kill 6 whales in a lifetime without being an actual whale-hunting sailor? :/

Where's spiderman 😄
