The Greatest Showman (2017)
1 suggested correction
Directed by: Michael Gracey
Starring: Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Rebecca Ferguson, Zendaya
Continuity mistake: During the "This is me" sequence, the tattooed man is wearing a red cape. During the last few seconds of the song, he loses the cape and then it reappears again. (00:59:55)
P.T. Barnum: No one ever made a difference by being like everyone else.
Question: Why was Zendaya considered as one of the "freaks" (like they called them), even though she looked normal?
Answer: I'm pretty sure because she was a person of colour.
Answer: Her brother said people of the time didn't want to see colored people on the stage. It's clear throughout the entire movie that she faces undue discrimination from the public just for not being white.
Answer: There were other people in the circus who were just normal but had amazing abilities.
She was half black and half white.
