Hi
@RealHughJackman
Stray Kids just released a new song and MV titled “Circus”, the concept was heavily inspired by “The Greatest Showman”. SKZ really admire you a lot and the influence of the movie can be seen throughout all the MV, we’d be happy if you could check it out 🙏🏼
Here’s the link to the MV, we really hope you see this and thank you for showing your support to Stray Kids in multiple occasions, stays admire you a lot too!
For those who are interested I’ll be making a thread of the similarities I noticed between the movie and the MV starting from something that can actually be seen in the trailer but more in detail the MV. We can see a fire start from an explosion and after that fire we can hear -
the typical circus song and SKZ start dancing in front of a circus tent. When i first saw it it reminded me of when the museum that held the shows of the troupe burned down in the movie, and after that scene Barnum bought a tent were their show was “reborn” into a real circus
In what i think is the killing part of the song the showman, here being Felix, stands in the dark as the lights turn off behind him and this exact image can be seen in the intro of the movie, “The greatest show”
The influence of the movie can also be seen in the choreography, I think the kids got inspired by some of the moves present in some scenes (for example the ending part of the show with the hands or some moves from “The other side”) and added their own colors to it
Another element that i noticed first in the trailer than again in the MV was a man and a woman, both trapeze artists and what could have inspired this element is the scene “Rewrite the stars” starring Zac Efron and Zendaya
In the scene bost characters sing as they do stunts in the air exactly as the trapeze artists we can find in the MV (this could totally be unrelated but it reminded me of the movie)
