Y’all know when Mulan is sitting in the rain and watches her parents silhouette disappear as the candle is blown out and then her eyes squint in determination and the music that starts to play and you see her go into the family temple and light a match and bow in respect and then sneak into her parents room and switch the scroll for her hair brooch and then the way her reflection is shown as she pulls the sword and cuts her hair?? It’s literally more iconic than any marvel movie

Y’all know that there is heavy symbolism in that scene to show that Mulan is the spirit of the Great Stone Dragon and that’s why Mushu wasn’t able to awaken it?

Mulan sits in the rain underneath the statue of the Great Stone Dragon (who is looking down on her), and suddenly decides on a course of action. She looks up, resolved to go to war in place of her father and runs into the temple where she lights the match and beseeches protection for her family. The stone she bows to and that we see lit up by lightening strike is that of the dragon, whose eyes are looking out after her, lit from underneath by the candles. The scene transitions to the divider in the house that also has an icon of the dragon. where she replaces her hair comb with the summons. Then we see the sword hilt, also the dragon, and as she draws the blade we see her face replace it. She ties up her hair, then as she opens the wardrobe, the handles are also the dragon. After donning the armor, the view shows her facing us, with the hilt of the sword (the face of the dragon) in front of her face, where she then turns the sword to reveal her face, and sheaths it. As she leaves, we flash back to the temple, and the eyes of the dragon flash as her grandmother wakes up.

The Great Stone Dragon resides within her. She is the protector of the family.

After this explanation, the scene where Mushu cannot wake up the stone dragon makes so much more sense. I appreciate the symbolism so much more. I noticed the dragon but didn’t notice she was constantly juxtaposed with the dragon!

Canon accepted.

I’ve seen The Greatest Showman twice now...

And it is officially my favourite movie of 2017. This is going to be a long post with lots of gifs (none of them are mine). You have been warned.

This movie is essentially my kryptonite with it’s beautiful interracial romance

It’s bad ass choreography

Like look at how beautiful they are when they’re dancing on the roof and how fluid the movements are and I just wow

And the shot glasses in The Other Side like OMG dude that bartender needs to get some serious credit, damn son and then Hugh and Zac just killed it

Oh and Rewrite the Stars…not enough words to praise the choreography in this scene. Has a musical number ever been done on a trapeze before? I really don’t think so. It astounds me that Zac and Zendaya did most of this (If not all, I’m not sure) by themselves and they looked damn good doing it too.

And look at these costumes!

I want Jenny Lind’s wardrobe. For real.

You can’t really see her dress in the gif above but it’s the best I could find.

AND THE MUSIC, OH LORD THE MUSIC. I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO THE SOUNDTRACK NONSTOP SINCE I SAW THE MOVIE.

Seriously if “This Is Me” does not win best song at the Golden Globes there will be hell to pay, because the lyrics are incredibly moving and Keala Settle’s performance is one of the best things I’ve ever seen in my life.

And starting the movie with Hugh Jackman saying “Ladies and Gents this is the moment you’ve waited for” and doing those poses was such a powerhouse move. The sheer ballsiness and confidence of that act just blows my mind.

A Million Dreams is one of my favourite numbers and I love how it shows Barnum and Charity transitioning from childhood to adulthood and how Charity has always been the one constant in Barnum’s life. I’ve already mentioned how gorgeous their dance sequence on the roof was.

Rewrite the Stars is beautiful with the way it shows how much Anne and Phillip want to be with each other but Anne is always out of Phillip’s reach and I CANNOT WITH HOW MUCH I LOVE THEM AND THIS NUMBER OKAY?

And look at the smooth moves in Come Alive. Basically every song has a purpose, every song moves the story forward and/or comes out of an emotional moment for these characters. Nothing is frivolous, nothing is wasted.

To sum up, The Greatest Showman is a tour de force of romance, costuming, choreography, and music. It is visually spectacular and the transitions and the cuts are seamless. The casting is on point and I want Zac Efron, Zendaya, Hugh Jackman, Michelle Williams, Keala Settle, and Rebecca Ferguson to make a million more movies like this. Also I firmly believe that Pasek and Paul are this generations Rodgers and Hammerstein and I can’t wait to see what they do next. Please go see this movie and watch Hugh Jackman doing this

I LOVE IT ALL!

Phillip Carlyle is such an important character in The Greatest Showman because he allows the movie to include progressive actions without ascribing them to Barnum.

Cut for spoilers.

That bartender though...

Of all the talented cast in that whole friggen movie - that bartender was a real friggen diamond! These two guys who have no good business running around singing and dancing all over his clean table tops and bar and throwing peanut shavings all over the freaking floor like dammit Zac Efron, that bar is a clean establishment and you and yourself is being a major ass! ALSO since apparently PT Jackman had no cash, how in the hecken was he planning to pay for those seemingly pre-arranged shots??? If PT Junior hadn’t stepped up and paid like a real mate (he continued to step later too!), then that poor bartender would’ve been short-changed, ripped off from all those damn shots he set up for you! Leaving an honest businessman out to dry tut tut Hugh Jackman tut tut…

Anne’s moment in This Is Me is the closest I’ve ever come to seeing someone just shout “Fight me!” at their love interest in a movie musical and I am absolutely here for it.
