Revealing mistake: Barnum gets down off the elephant and pats its leg, missing it, and his hand passes through its leg as he brings his arm down to his side. (01:37:00)
The Greatest Showman (2017)
1 suggested correction
Directed by: Michael Gracey
Starring: Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Rebecca Ferguson, Zendaya
Continuity mistake: When Barnum goes to see Charity by the beach at the end of the film, they embrace. As the camera shows a close up of their faces Charity's head is on Barnum's right shoulder, but when they reverse the shot to show her expression she is now on his left shoulder. (01:30:10)
P.T. Barnum: No one ever made a difference by being like everyone else.
Trivia: Making a film based on P.T. Barnum had been a passion project for star Hugh Jackman for some years before it was finally made. Reportedly, what kept the film from being made sooner was the fact that most major studios were apprehensive about producing an original musical not based on a pre-existing film or stageplay.
Question: So, where do P.T. Barnum, Charity, and their daughters live by the end of the movie? Do they get their mansion back?
Answer: It doesn't tell.
