Dec 23, 2018 · Although the movie was inspired by a real-life story, and augmented with fictional scenes and characters, The Greatest Showman delivered on so many levels to its targeted audience. In P.T. Barnum’s fashion, the movie evoked joy, and wonder while highlighting some of the best life lessons a movie could ever give. We’ve merely scratched the ...
- Don’t get bogged down in circumstances-Have a vision for yourself and where you want to go. Barnum (the main character) grew up poor, lost his father, and then was homeless and hungry as a young orphan.
- Be yourself-The best part of the movie is the “oddities”, those stars in Barnum’s Circus. These people begin as hiding from society – they feel they are too short, or too tall, or “odd” looking in other ways.
- Look for inspiration anywhere and be willing to shift what you are doing to grow and evolve-The ideas for the circus came from a comment his young daughter made, and from a man he saw at the bank.
- Don’t listen to the naysayers - Barnum had to deal with a writer who wrote critically of him and his show. There were protestors boycotting outside his doors.

Keala Settle as Lettie Lutz
The importance of family, especially found families, is central to The Greatest Showman, and it's from the creation of a found family for the performers in P.T. Barnum's show that many of the most inspirational quotes stem. Since the performers are cruelly labeled as "freaks" by the rest of the world, they'd spent the majority of their lives isolated and shunned by those around them. While Barnum profits from their talents and unique qualities, he also provides something irreplaceable for the...
Zendaya As Anne Wheeler
Playing Anne Wheeler in The Greatest Showman was a career-defining moment for Zendaya, and she's also responsible for some of the most inspirational quotes in the movie. Among them is when she tells Zac Effron's Phillip Carlyle that "everyone's got an act" when he tries to explain that, since he's not a performer in the show, he doesn't have an act of his own and is, essentially, talentless. Carlyle's self-perception here is why this is such an inspirational The Greatest Showman quote. While...
Hugh Jackman as P.T. Barnum
Of all the songs in The Greatest Showman, "Come Alive" is inarguably one of the most inspirational. The musical number, which is an ensemble piece between Hugh Jackman's P.T. Barnum, Keala Settle's Lettie, Daniel Severidge's Lord of Leeds, and Zendaya's Anne Wheeler, is full of lines that are incredibly inspiring when taken on their own. However, one that stands out among the others is from Hugh Jackman's first pre-chorus verse - "take the world and redefine it". This simple instruction speak...
Hugh Jackman as P.T. Barnum
This moment comes in The Greatest Showman when P.T. Barnum meets and invites Tom Thumb to be a part of his show. Tom is hesitant about the idea at first, and skeptical of Barnum's intentions. He believes Barnum simply wants someone for audiences to laugh at and ridicule, and he has no hesitation in telling the Showman this. Barnum then replies with this inspirational observation which, while it could be seen as cynical at first, is actually incredibly powerful. P.T. Barnum is under no illusio...

Feb 6, 2018 · There’s plenty of life lessons in the film too. Purpose, meaning, success, family, diversity, and unity are the beams that both the songs and dialogue hang on. Here are a couple of the key ideas that the film provoked for me: From his early days to the pinnacle of his journey, P. T. Barnum is a dreamer. His deep desire to make something more ...
