RE: Some Facts About the Real P.T. Barnum That Do Not Appear in The Greatest Showman Movie

This reminds me of the difference between the harrypotter book and the movie. Not everything was well represented in the movie, as it was represented in the book. I know. Majority of movie directors do this probably to give more flow to the movie, but in my own opinion, I think movies that have things to do with the history or biography of a person should be illustrated with as much precision as possible, because the generation we live in don't read much, but rather love to watch the movie instead, and would take whatever is said in the movies to be absolute truth.

True. I think the Harry Potter movies did about as well as anyone could have done with that material and came out with largely enjoyable films that made most people feel like the books had been brought to screen effectively. But a good book is never all there on the screen; there's no way.
