possibly the coolest thing about bookending the movie with The Greatest Show is that the ultimate reality was bigger and grander than his fantasy in every way.

you see it visually with the confetti and the lions and elephants and the more impressive routine.

you hear it musically when the brass kicks in and you just know shit’s gettin’ real… it’s bigger, louder, more impressive.

and it’s not because his vision got grander… it’s all because it goes from a solo to an ensemble piece. the people he surrounded himself with made his dream a huge, loud, colorful reality.

that is the coolest shit.
