more like "here's a sin because they should both be extremely intoxicated after the amount of alcohol they consumed and not be physically able to dance the way they are."
The bearded lady's song won an award. Plus the actress was really shy and cried when she started singing in a room with the rest of the cast. And hugh holds her hand. It was beautiful
When the green dress Zendaya's character wears gets talked about: historically accurate as 19th century introduced a bright green dye which was very popular and used in pretty much everything, but was made using arsenic so it was also making people sick and killing them too. So Zendaya's character would be being slowly poisoned in that scene on the theater stairs when they meet his parents who berate him for bringing her. Who knows, maybe somebody was thinking that dress color would be symbolic, considering the history of that particular color dye.
yeah. The only songs I really LOVED from Pasek and Paul were This is Me and Tightrope. everything else was too shallow in my opinion, and This is Me was borderline too shallow.
Pansexual Christian This is incorrect. Look at shows like Phantom of the Opera. The singing is classified as rock, but has some operatic styles to it. This could have easily been transferred over here. Lazy music writing. Most contemperary musicals have a point for having contemporary music. This one doesnt
What's completely nuts, is the movie would've probably been multiple times more popular if they had just called it, "The Greatest Show", and added a disclaimer at the beginning that says something along the lines of, "The story of P.T. Barnum has been altered for the production of this movie. We encourage you, the viewer, to do your own research about P.T. Barnum, and his show, before making any judgements on his character."
I think you're overlooking that fact that Zendaya tried having a southern accent in the first part of the movie, but then completely dropped it after they went to England.
MacKenzie :P yeah but did she have a wire attached to her when she did acrobatics no and she rarely used her stunt double actually she might not have used her stunt double
That Zendaya is sssssoooo badass she doesn't need a stunt woman and WHO CARES OF SHE STOPPED HER ACCENT I HAVE DONE THAT IN MUSICALS IN PRESTON GUILD HALL. IT IS NOT A BIG DEAL!!!!

@@aishwaryabhat171 Dude, that's part of the point of these videos. A good portion of the sins are just straight up jokes or comically misunderstanding the movie on purpose.

Elly then don’t watch? Why watch it lol. Many people don’t like musicals and he is one of them and people kept requesting it. What do you expect?

Despite its flaws, I adored this movie in its entirety. I do agree that something could have been done to make it known what Barnum was REALLY like as opposed to glorifying him. Though, wasn't this movie based on a play of the same name? I don't think it was entirely from scratch.
Ummm ok then why ate you here to tell everyone about your un wanted opinions. I Dont know if this is just me but I hated and hate the movie. And was forced to whatch it bu my mother so...
@@becca8237 No, it shouldn't. "Million" is, in this situation, being categorized as a singular noun. Both are grammatically correct, but only one properly fits the situation: the one that the 80 million dollar mainstream Disney movie got correct--not you, or the cash-grabbing, 40-year-old, exploitative degenerate narrating this video.
i would like to point out that it’s just been released that Hugh Jackman is now gonna be playing the Music Man on Broadway. this is a full circle. one sin removed.
Are we going to ignore the fact that at the beginning of the movie the “midget soldier’s” name was Charles then towards middle his name was Tom, I say SIN it
Charles Sherwood Stratton was his real name (he actually existed), but his stage name was 'General Tom Thumb'. He was extremely young when he started working for Barnum, and died of a stroke when he was only 45.
8:26 Well, yeah. Thats the point. The movie is trying to show you how he forgot about his origins and is slowly becoming more and more lie everyone else. But eventually he sees what happened, and he understands who brought him to where he ie now. The line you said here is literally the conflict, its intentional
Barnum is actually the reason we use the word jumbo to denote something huge. Because of an elephant names Jumbo which was the first African elephant kept in captivity, which he bought from the London zoo. And of course, he claimed Jumbo was the largest elephant in the world, though he was only 24 years old, and male African elephants continue growing into their 40s. Jumbo died about a year later after being sideswiped by a train.
9:35 greens became popular during the Victorian era because they added arsenic to dyes and paint and it made them more vibrant than previously possible, the colouring on her dress is perfectly accurate
13:16 If you actually watched the movie, Phillip ran into the fire because he thought Anne was stuck in there. He ran in, risking his life to save her, and *thats* what allowed her to truly fall in love with him. I'm sorry the way you sinned that scene was upsetting.
I just wanna point out that Zefron ran back into the building to save specifically Zendaya. And therefore, she decided that if he was so willing to risk his life to protect her, then he must be serious about her and they could give their relationship a shot. I mean, he did the acrobatics and everything during Rewrite the Stars despite not knowing how just to impress her earlier, but that's obviously not a big enough clue how serious he was about her. Duh XD
@@gracieutz1490 No. It’s already been proven that circuses. Especially Barnum and baileys have horrible treatment for animals. And I’m not like that vegan teacher. Because I’m not vegan, I agree with zoos, hate peta, can’t play the ukulele and I’m a male.
I love this movie but did anyone else notice how many fricking times zac and hugh took off the hats and scarves, then put them back on right after that during “the other side” scene?
I know but it gives a funny and amazing efect they keep on changing their minds to keep the song and going till one on the other makes a deal with each other
The music in this movie is actually amazing, and I wanted you to remove more sins for that, but then I remembered how all the music is totally wasted on a plot that isn’t that interesting in a movie that is glorifying someone who in real life was a bad person, and claiming to be telling his story. I would’ve loved this movie if it was told from literally ANY other character’s perspective than Barnum himself. Or they could’ve just made the whole thing fictional and not a representation of something in real life. It could be more like a fairytale of how the first circus came to be and the main characters could be actual good guys... Anyway, sorry that this turned into a rant, my point is; great music was wasted on a mediocre (at best) and controversial movie.
Katy Unruh her song had to be the bomb so they made it something people can sing along to. I can’t sing to opera except for in the shower but catch me singing Never Enough at the top of my lungs 4x a day.
Here is my comment in case you miss it. I loved it especailly the music. "Reading the comments what a miserable non-life nit picking lot you are. This was entertainment (sorry succesful entertainment) - get a life".
The subject is not "A" and it's not "million dreams", the subject is "a million dreams" and is treated like one singular thing. So it's correct to use "is". "A millions dreams" could be substituted by "it".
I hope you realized that you all agree, but you disagree about the way you agree. I love how you guys are a bunch of 13-15 year olds who just learned subject verb agreement.
@@danielbrewster1891 yes, we realized we agree. And no, i'm not a 13-15 year old. English is my third language. I'd crush you in my other two languages. Don't act like you have a superior mind. ;)
To add to the bar scene, if you pay attention, a lot of the shots Barnum is taken his glass is either empty, half full, or he doesnt take them at all. While he was on the piano, he wasnt actually playing, thats why he shut it when the Zac Effron's charayer looked at it, so he wouldn't notice it was a self playing piano. He also didnt take the shot, he left once the other guys back was turned.
My favorite character. He doesn't speak a word and is still very obviously supportive of Barnum. I dunno, maybe that's just his character, that he's supportive. But I kept getting distracted during The Other Side by how he was in sync with both of them, never got in the way but still managed to play a part in the number. Not to mention he wasn't sinned once.
@Anemone_Blue_Shell in the quiet place they did talk, or they used sign language, but even tho they didn't really talk much, the suspense of the movie made up for it.( ͡ ͜ʖ ͡ )
9:58 actually the parents were’nt actually leaving the theatre, earlier you could see them walking up the stairs and then turning around to see the pair
2:23 Actually, it is referring to the singular noun "million". The word 'dreams' is in a part of a collective noun and is therefore is not the subject to a verb.
Sins should have been removed each time there was a musical number or choreography. I can understand sinning the story or the real life person, but this was a beautiful movie.
The major historical inaccuracies, A Million Dreams lasting for a million years, and the fact that Come Alive and This is Me are basically the same song were the major sins that prevented me from enjoying this movie. I was also comparing it to Les Misearables.
When this movie came out I had just suffered a major loss. I decided to go to the theater to get my mind off of it and asked the ticket person to recommend something that would make me forget about the troubles of life. She chose this movie. I had seen part of a trailer before going in. During the song A Million Dreams I cried my eyes out. I don’t exactly know what it was about the song but it made me so sad but also so much more hopeful about my future. So yeah. The movie had its flaws. It’s definitely glorifying PT Barnum. But the songs and the stories behind them made this the beloved classic that it is. People are still listening to these songs today. That’s what OP was talking about. I feel bad for anyone who can’t see this.
@Sarah Collins That's the problem. Les Miserables was fantastic. Because Hugh Jackman was the lead in this musical, I was expecting the same level of period piece accuracy + social commentary + musical variety + execution of singing all lines that Les Mis had to offer.
I think the best way to describe "The Greatest Showman" is: a Great Musical but a terrible representation of real life events. I think I'll take the great Musical!
He was commenting on the fact that no one let lose the sandbags which would have pulled her up into the air, not the jump. No one was around to release that sandbag, but yet it still fell.
thats not what op is referring to though. in the video he states "if i wasnt asleep already i'd say something about the physics of that jump and catch we just saw." not talking about what he had already pointed out what you are saying. the jump and catch was a real stunt they did. again, not referring at all to what you are (i think) i could be wrong tho.
Sooooo.... “A million dreams is.....”. Is actually correct. Because the noun (subject) is “million”, determined by the article “a” - singular. Therefore it is prior grammar to say, “A million is”. ❤️
Since they were already fictionalizing much of PT Barnum's life, I feel like this whole thing would be more palatable if they had just made the characters all fictional, and let the audience draw the parallels to real historical figures. Also PT Barnum was a successful and popular politician, but that's never mentioned in the movie.
Thank you, that was bugging me, too. It threw me at first, but the true subject is "million." Whichever is technically correct, people usually don't say "a million are."
“Million” is the adjective not the subject. The subject in that sentence is “dreams”. The reason why is that “a” is an article and “million” is an adjective (as previously mentioned) and in the English language adjectives and articles can’t be subjects. So that would mean the wrong verb was used since million can’t be a subject (I have an English teach for a father)
I think in this case "a million dreams" is a singular collective noun phrase. But "a million somethings" isn't ALWAYS a singular collective noun. One would say "a million dreams are in my head," not "a million dreams is in my head," because in this case it is not a singular collective noun. "Dreams" is the noun, and "a million" is an adjective describing how many dreams there are. However, "a million somethings" can definitely be a singular collective sometimes. It would be correct to say "a million dollars is the price," because "price" is singular and the noun phrases have to agree. In the sentence in question, "is" is a linking verb joining "a million dreams" and "all it's gonna take," so the real question here is whether "all it's gonna take" is singular or plural. "All" can be either, so we have to examine the rest of the phrase to know for sure. "It" is singular, which suggests the entire phrase is singular. But that analysis is somewhat shaky, in my opinion. In conclusion, despite having studied comparative grammar and having earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English, I can't say for sure what the right answer is. What I can say is that our grammatical rules are intended to allow us as English speakers to communicate without disagreeing on what our words or phrases mean. In my opinion, the difference between "a million dreams is" and "a million dreams are" is negligible, because both phrases are unambiguous enough as to not cause any confusion to the hearer. So as far as I'm concerned, the answer is "it doesn't matter." And that means it qualifies as a sin.
@@jeremymiller1846 Dude you wrote three fucking paragraphs. You should have just said it's a fucking sin. However I think the real sinner is the English language because of how extra and confusing it's grammar is.
@@alexandertristano2640 please don't ever think about learning german... we germans love to speak english simply because of how... simple the grammar is :D
you never said that the little girl got on pointe shoes right away, even though in the real world ballerinas have to train for 5 or 6 years before being strong enough to go on pointe.
As an actual ballerina, I can in fact confirm you have to train for years and years to even relevé on pointe. Even after that, it takes another year or two to do more advanced things like pirouettes on pointe. Your ankles would probably immediately snap after going up on pointe if you put them on without years of practice. You also might not even be able to go up on pointe at all without building up the strength in your ankles.
lily wong oh that's so cool!!! I really dislike how movies always make it seem like you can put on some pointe shoes and immediately be perfect at ballet. Or just sit down and immediately be in the splits with no effort. Very annoying haha
I think CinemaSins giving a humorous (and good natured) ribbing to a movie I love makes me enjoy this movie even more! Greatest Showman was one of the most entertaining musicals I've seen in a few years.
Honestly this show makes me hate this show. I get it, it’s a joke and it’s supposed to be good natured but sorry can’t get into it it’s a fun movie and this channel shits on all the movies.
Amen to this comment. He criticizes this movie for all the ridiculous petty things like singing in what is very obviously a MUSICAL kind of movie, but completely misses the fact that the opera singer never sang opera. Tbh that still bothers me to this day. They spend a while building up all this anticipation that it's some amazing opera singer and the performance itself isn't even sung in opera style. What the heck?!
I honestly never liked this movie and don’t understand the hype about it. The backstory of The Greatest Show on Earth is sad, and it’s just not a good story overall. Just my opinion.
I honestly thought this movie was called the "greatest snowman". Coming 2017, is the worst horror movie ever, starring PT barnum as getting revenge on those who spit on his show by decapitaring them
I knew very little about P.T. Barnum prior to seeing this film, but it's pretty clear that although the music, editing, sound work, and performances were truly outstanding... I now know even LESS about the actual P.T. Barnum. 🤔 That deserves a dozen sins right there. *DING* x 12! 🎭🎶🎭
"Here's a sin because the choreography is good and it shouldn't be because they are in a bar"
more like "here's a sin because they should both be extremely intoxicated after the amount of alcohol they consumed and not be physically able to dance the way they are."
It's my favorite song because of choreography and because it actually moves the plot along, but I remember it as the alcohol poisoning song.
That actually be cool if it was off a bit.

“Holy sh*t that song made her pregnant “ I died 😂😂😂
When I saw the scene I was like "holy sh*t she's preggers"
Victoria Santana omg Cinema sins you are a big fat liar
When I was watching this scene my dad said this is what happens when u can dance
That sin made no sense
i would like to point out that it’s just been released that Hugh Jackman is now gonna be playing the Music Man on Broadway. this is a full circle. one sin removed.
RIP Beetlejuice lmaoo
Are we going to ignore the fact that at the beginning of the movie the “midget soldier’s” name was Charles then towards middle his name was Tom, I say SIN it
They never explain it but the actual person the character is based off of was given the stage name "General Tom-Thumb" so that's probably why
This movie was created over a period of 7 years
I think his name was Charles but the name of his act for the circus was Tom Thumb. Aka Tom Thumb was his stage name.
If it ain’t the same, put it down the drain
Charles Sherwood Stratton was his real name (he actually existed), but his stage name was 'General Tom Thumb'. He was extremely young when he started working for Barnum, and died of a stroke when he was only 45.
Don’t expect a musical to be historically accurate
So, that eliminates Mamma Mia and Sweeney Todd as documentaries?
AW COME ON, you couldn't remove a sin for that amazing bartender?
He was the real MV0

Thank Goodness he removed a sin for “This Is Me”...
I would have strongly disagreed if he sinned that song...
That is an amazing song!
8:26
Well, yeah. Thats the point. The movie is trying to show you how he forgot about his origins and is slowly becoming more and more lie everyone else. But eventually he sees what happened, and he understands who brought him to where he ie now. The line you said here is literally the conflict, its intentional
Barnum is actually the reason we use the word jumbo to denote something huge. Because of an elephant names Jumbo which was the first African elephant kept in captivity, which he bought from the London zoo. And of course, he claimed Jumbo was the largest elephant in the world, though he was only 24 years old, and male African elephants continue growing into their 40s. Jumbo died about a year later after being sideswiped by a train.
DragonFae16 thats really sad
That is horrible! 🤭
'Sideswiped by a train' WTF! How does that even happen?
DragonFae16 u nerd much??? 😐
No. I work at London Zoo and Jumbo was named Jumbo and called the largest elephant in the world long before it met P. T. Barnum.
3:52 Would you say they.............missed the elephant in the room?
I'll see myself out.
I am mad at myself for laughing at that.
Wait no come back
YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!
Just watch out for the Elephant
Not Carlie no. No stay
9:35 greens became popular during the Victorian era because they added arsenic to dyes and paint and it made them more vibrant than previously possible, the colouring on her dress is perfectly accurate
13:16 If you actually watched the movie, Phillip ran into the fire because he thought Anne was stuck in there. He ran in, risking his life to save her, and *thats* what allowed her to truly fall in love with him. I'm sorry the way you sinned that scene was upsetting.
“Did she buy her own tree costume and sneak on stage” is one of the best things that has ever been said
I just wanna point out that Zefron ran back into the building to save specifically Zendaya. And therefore, she decided that if he was so willing to risk his life to protect her, then he must be serious about her and they could give their relationship a shot. I mean, he did the acrobatics and everything during Rewrite the Stars despite not knowing how just to impress her earlier, but that's obviously not a big enough clue how serious he was about her. Duh XD
BeebaLazyVlogs she has EXTEMELY high standards for who she dates. You gotta almost die at least once or you’re not worth it

Fact: the elephants at Barnum and baileys are terribly abused. Their spirits are broken so they are just puppets. Sad really 😔
No actually they are treated really well at circus's than a zoo. They treat them very well and no "spirit" Is broken you're like the Theveganteacher

IHaveDreams GT yes I was waiting for him to talk about that epic bartender
So true XD
IHaveDreams GT yeah but plz don’t try that at home lol
The bar scenes were def the best part of the movie.
the bartender is my favourite character
I love this movie but did anyone else notice how many fricking times zac and hugh took off the hats and scarves, then put them back on right after that during “the other side” scene?
Yes haha
Or how great their livers are in that scene......SO MANY SHOTS

I know but it gives a funny and amazing efect they keep on changing their minds to keep the song and going till one on the other makes a deal with each other
Yeah haha

Literally what i did!🤣🤣
Yep I see new movies here long before I can ever see the actual whole movie. LOL
@@zeusathena26 pirate it
The music in this movie is actually amazing, and I wanted you to remove more sins for that, but then I remembered how all the music is totally wasted on a plot that isn’t that interesting in a movie that is glorifying someone who in real life was a bad person, and claiming to be telling his story. I would’ve loved this movie if it was told from literally ANY other character’s perspective than Barnum himself. Or they could’ve just made the whole thing fictional and not a representation of something in real life. It could be more like a fairytale of how the first circus came to be and the main characters could be actual good guys...
Anyway, sorry that this turned into a rant, my point is; great music was wasted on a mediocre (at best) and controversial movie.
You forgot to add that they hype Jenny Lind up as an opera singer but when she opens her mouth it's all pop, all the time.
Katy Unruh her song had to be the bomb so they made it something people can sing along to. I can’t sing to opera except for in the shower but catch me singing Never Enough at the top of my lungs 4x a day.
Chely Margarita
so why did they hype her up as an opera singer?
Robbie Gabito cuz pop didn’t exist yet lmao
Lol so right. And all so the lighting is pretty amazing for 1860s . And its nice of the bearded lady to shave her armpits so nicely enough said )))
Which is why cinema sins redubbed her singing "Lucia de Lammermoor" at the end and I started giggling.

Am I the only one who actually loves this movie?
That’s like asking if your the only one who likes sleep
Here is my comment in case you miss it. I loved it especailly the music.
"Reading the comments what a miserable non-life nit picking lot you are. This was entertainment (sorry succesful entertainment) - get a life".
Actually "A" is the subject in "A million dreams is all it's gonna take," which is singular, so "is" is correct.
Yes! I love fellow grammar Nazis! 👏😍
nerds
The subject is not "A" and it's not "million dreams", the subject is "a million dreams" and is treated like one singular thing. So it's correct to use "is". "A millions dreams" could be substituted by "it".
I hope you realized that you all agree, but you disagree about the way you agree. I love how you guys are a bunch of 13-15 year olds who just learned subject verb agreement.
@@danielbrewster1891 yes, we realized we agree. And no, i'm not a 13-15 year old. English is my third language. I'd crush you in my other two languages. Don't act like you have a superior mind. ;)
19th Century dabbing. LMAO
Yeah and btw it’s in the 1800s
Stephanie Robson that is the 19th century
I can't take that part seriously anymore 😂
ROTFL
The only dabbing I will except.
To add to the bar scene, if you pay attention, a lot of the shots Barnum is taken his glass is either empty, half full, or he doesnt take them at all. While he was on the piano, he wasnt actually playing, thats why he shut it when the Zac Effron's charayer looked at it, so he wouldn't notice it was a self playing piano. He also didnt take the shot, he left once the other guys back was turned.
Spoiler warning in a nutshell: LOOK OUT CUZ HERE I COME
NUT shell, here I COME? nice one.
Honestly the bartender is the best character, reason: He is actually useful and isn't talking the whole time.
How was he useful, and I think that watching a person not talking for a whole spand of movie time would be really boring. 😂
My favorite character. He doesn't speak a word and is still very obviously supportive of Barnum. I dunno, maybe that's just his character, that he's supportive. But I kept getting distracted during The Other Side by how he was in sync with both of them, never got in the way but still managed to play a part in the number. Not to mention he wasn't sinned once.
@Anemone_Blue_Shell in the quiet place they did talk, or they used sign language, but even tho they didn't really talk much, the suspense of the movie made up for it.( ͡ ͜ʖ ͡ )

3:33 flopdoodle is an actual Victorian era insult. It means someone who can't do the dirty, usually referring to someone too young or old

U r so right I noticed that too😝😝😝😝
Thank you!
Gonna be that one idiot but:
*weren't
2:23 Actually, it is referring to the singular noun "million". The word 'dreams' is in a part of a collective noun and is therefore is not the subject to a verb.
I WANTED SOMEONE TO TALK ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I WASN'T SURE THANK YOU
@@justabeanpassingthrough8297 I only saw this now but yw!
Yeah “A million dreams” is a collective noun so yeah it’s “is”

When you realize that hes going to the actual history of PT Barnum instead of sinning the actual movie because this movie is flawless
Sins should have been removed each time there was a musical number or choreography. I can understand sinning the story or the real life person, but this was a beautiful movie.
The major historical inaccuracies, A Million Dreams lasting for a million years, and the fact that Come Alive and This is Me are basically the same song were the major sins that prevented me from enjoying this movie. I was also comparing it to Les Misearables.
When this movie came out I had just suffered a major loss. I decided to go to the theater to get my mind off of it and asked the ticket person to recommend something that would make me forget about the troubles of life. She chose this movie. I had seen part of a trailer before going in.
During the song A Million Dreams I cried my eyes out. I don’t exactly know what it was about the song but it made me so sad but also so much more hopeful about my future.
So yeah. The movie had its flaws. It’s definitely glorifying PT Barnum. But the songs and the stories behind them made this the beloved classic that it is. People are still listening to these songs today. That’s what OP was talking about.
I feel bad for anyone who can’t see this.
@Sarah Collins That's the problem. Les Miserables was fantastic. Because Hugh Jackman was the lead in this musical, I was expecting the same level of period piece accuracy + social commentary + musical variety + execution of singing all lines that Les Mis had to offer.
That song made her pregnant?!🤣
😂 😂 😂
They did it when they were up on the roof when the sheets were covering them.
Max Minhtet PARGANT?

I think the best way to describe "The Greatest Showman" is: a Great Musical but a terrible representation of real life events. I think I'll take the great Musical!
Well it wasn't supposed to be historically accurate.
@@Emisop technically it is.
Agreed
@@DonoZeek It is but completely fails in an attempt to portray Barnum as the hero
Ahmm a real life event
Lol the last scene was really funny and I thought I was the only one to see that she's the only tree XD
2:20 it's actually grammatically correct same as you would say "A million dollars *is* a lot"
You commented on the impossible physics of the jump and catch during the rewrite the stars scene but that was a real stunt they practiced forever
HalfaBakedPotato yeah, I saw a clip of it on some video.
He was commenting on the fact that no one let lose the sandbags which would have pulled her up into the air, not the jump. No one was around to release that sandbag, but yet it still fell.
10:50 he's talking about the jump
No he was talking about the movie
thats not what op is referring to though. in the video he states "if i wasnt asleep already i'd say something about the physics of that jump and catch we just saw." not talking about what he had already pointed out what you are saying. the jump and catch was a real stunt they did. again, not referring at all to what you are (i think) i could be wrong tho.
Flop doodle actually was an insult.
...I looked it up.
London Brigid an unintelligent person acting with idiocy and silly (yeh I looked it up to lol,)
Sooooo....
“A million dreams is.....”. Is actually correct. Because the noun (subject) is “million”, determined by the article “a” - singular. Therefore it is prior grammar to say, “A million is”. ❤️
Since they were already fictionalizing much of PT Barnum's life, I feel like this whole thing would be more palatable if they had just made the characters all fictional, and let the audience draw the parallels to real historical figures. Also PT Barnum was a successful and popular politician, but that's never mentioned in the movie.
"A Million Dreams IS all it's gonna take", is actually right. That's a mistake for you . :)
Thank you, that was bugging me, too.
It threw me at first, but the true subject is "million." Whichever is technically correct, people usually don't say "a million are."
“Million” is the adjective not the subject. The subject in that sentence is “dreams”. The reason why is that “a” is an article and “million” is an adjective (as previously mentioned) and in the English language adjectives and articles can’t be subjects. So that would mean the wrong verb was used since million can’t be a subject (I have an English teach for a father)
I think in this case "a million dreams" is a singular collective noun phrase. But "a million somethings" isn't ALWAYS a singular collective noun. One would say "a million dreams are in my head," not "a million dreams is in my head," because in this case it is not a singular collective noun. "Dreams" is the noun, and "a million" is an adjective describing how many dreams there are.
However, "a million somethings" can definitely be a singular collective sometimes. It would be correct to say "a million dollars is the price," because "price" is singular and the noun phrases have to agree. In the sentence in question, "is" is a linking verb joining "a million dreams" and "all it's gonna take," so the real question here is whether "all it's gonna take" is singular or plural. "All" can be either, so we have to examine the rest of the phrase to know for sure. "It" is singular, which suggests the entire phrase is singular. But that analysis is somewhat shaky, in my opinion.
In conclusion, despite having studied comparative grammar and having earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English, I can't say for sure what the right answer is. What I can say is that our grammatical rules are intended to allow us as English speakers to communicate without disagreeing on what our words or phrases mean. In my opinion, the difference between "a million dreams is" and "a million dreams are" is negligible, because both phrases are unambiguous enough as to not cause any confusion to the hearer. So as far as I'm concerned, the answer is "it doesn't matter." And that means it qualifies as a sin.
@@jeremymiller1846 Dude you wrote three fucking paragraphs. You should have just said it's a fucking sin. However I think the real sinner is the English language because of how extra and confusing it's grammar is.
@@alexandertristano2640 please don't ever think about learning german...
we germans love to speak english simply because of how... simple the grammar is :D
you never said that the little girl got on pointe shoes right away, even though in the real world ballerinas have to train for 5 or 6 years before being strong enough to go on pointe.
FR THATS WHAT I ALWAYS THOUGHT WHEN WATCHING THE MOVIE but no one cares to learn or go in depth w ballet
As an actual ballerina, I can in fact confirm you have to train for years and years to even relevé on pointe. Even after that, it takes another year or two to do more advanced things like pirouettes on pointe. Your ankles would probably immediately snap after going up on pointe if you put them on without years of practice. You also might not even be able to go up on pointe at all without building up the strength in your ankles.
Art by a Mushroom yes, i am an actual ballerina as well lol.
lily wong oh that's so cool!!! I really dislike how movies always make it seem like you can put on some pointe shoes and immediately be perfect at ballet. Or just sit down and immediately be in the splits with no effort. Very annoying haha

“here’s a sin because this musical has music in it”
CinemaSins, also you forgot to mention the opera singer never once sung Opera.
Amen to this comment. He criticizes this movie for all the ridiculous petty things like singing in what is very obviously a MUSICAL kind of movie, but completely misses the fact that the opera singer never sang opera. Tbh that still bothers me to this day. They spend a while building up all this anticipation that it's some amazing opera singer and the performance itself isn't even sung in opera style. What the heck?!
I said this exact thing when we watched the movie.
elucified exactly. I actually legitimately hated that. It didn't even have to be REAL opera, just somthing similar, but no
aZTLÁN qUETZAL very true i liked her singing but if her character is an opera singer make her sing opera or change actor who can
Rebecca Ferguson didn't even do her own singing for this film, so changing actors wouldn't be necessary, just singers.

I honestly never liked this movie and don’t understand the hype about it. The backstory of The Greatest Show on Earth is sad, and it’s just not a good story overall. Just my opinion.
I honestly thought this movie was called the "greatest snowman".
Coming 2017, is the worst horror movie ever, starring PT barnum as getting revenge on those who spit on his show by decapitaring them
Its not the Greatest Snowman? ....I didn't realize.
I wanna watch the greatest snowman now. For the snowman ninjas, of course.
2:22 The line "A million dreams is all it's gonna take" in the song is grammatically correct.
Exactly. Are they suggesting in the video that it should be "a million dreams are all it's gonna take"? Now that would be grammatically incorrect.
