    Genuinely recommend to all the liberals, conservatives, progressives, constitutional originalists, feminists, BLM members, NRA members, except the hardcore Marxists among those. Those genius don't need this...

    What if one has waited too long and already missed his shot? What if history turned its back on you? Leslie's acting is so good that I even kind of want to cry for Burr. PS Samuel Seabury is a little cute; Xiao Qiao's saliva & the tomcat crotch dance in the first act is so funny. A must-have for surviving...

    I finally finished watching it, I cried to death, I didn't expect to cry like this... Extremely excellent, from stage scheduling and music creation, to plot layout and rhythm control, to the portrayal of each character and emotional pouring There are almost no shortcomings, popular The avant-garde expression contains classic classical heroic tragedies and long-lasting inheritance, which is so enjoyable. Everyone loves bloody and witty songs, but I like Dear Theodosia and It's Quiet Uptown,...

    Sorry, I still can't accept black people playing white people, I really hate political correctness for the sake of "political correctness". Unless, black, white and yellow races...

    It's really wonderful, the music and stage effects are super good, and watching this show in 2020 has a sense of irony that feels like a...

    The pace is fast-paced like an overwhelmed circus, with characters sometimes resembling Disney animation, overwhelmed by the sudden changes in scenes. The flashbacks and slow motions of the film also appeared, and sometimes when you heard the key melody, you could remember the previous scene. Look at the scene where the parliamentary debate is directly adapted into a hip-hop battle, which is called cultural fusion! This is also the most appealing part of the American spirit: young, diverse, and...

    Feminist friendliness: sporadic. For people who have seen history and forgotten it, it is a little bit unenjoyable, and it's hard not to enjoy...

    Because it is so beautiful that it is often forgotten that it is essentially an American version of the founding of the...

    Hamilton's film version is not necessarily the best choice, and the lens language may not be the best to tell the story. However, seeing the OBC group at its peak is already a dream dream of many musicals. What else can I complain? The popularity of PS Ham is undoubtedly related to the gradual acceptance of Hip Hop/Jazz/Pop. Lin said a very important point. When he was reading Ham's biography, he thought this was the story of Biggie, 2Pac. Throughout the show, the recurring Flow and some Bar...

    From the day of its birth, it has become a new classic musical, and I have heard its name for a long time. After watching it, I understand why young people are so fond of this show. Its style and form are the Broadway shows that best represent the 2010s. Over the years, I have found that there are many friends around me who are also engaged in or will be engaged in cultural-related work after graduation, but their fields of study are often only history/politics/economics, and the purpose of...

    History of the American National Movement

    On the second night, I watched Luke Wen's history of the national movement of the United States. I briefly said that the entire modern history of the world is a history of great powers competing for hegemony. Britain was the first to become the leader through the industrial revolution. After France...

    just say a few words

    Since August, I have watched "Hamilton" off and on. (I hope to make up a few movies at the end of the month~)

    A historical story of America's founding fathers in hip-hop and british pop. It has to be said that such an innovative form gives this drama, which tells the main theme story, the vitality...

Hamilton quotes

  • John Laurens: I may not live to see our glory...

    Eliza Hamilton: Alexander? There's a letter to you from South Carolina.

    Alexander Hamilton: It's from John Laurens. I'll read it later.

    John Laurens: But I will gladly join the fight...

    Eliza Hamilton: No. It's from his father.

    Alexander Hamilton: His father?

    John Laurens: And when our children tell our story...

    Alexander Hamilton: Will you read it?

    John Laurens: They'll tell the story of tonight...

    Eliza Hamilton: [reading] "On Tuesday the 27th, my son was killed in a gunfight against British troops retreating from South Carolina. The war was already over. As you know, John dreamed of emancipating and recruiting three thousand men for the first all-black military regiment. His dream of freedom for these men die with him."

    John Laurens: Tomorrow there'll be more of us...

    Eliza Hamilton: Alexander, are you all right?

    Alexander Hamilton: I have so much work to do.

  • Aaron Burr: How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a Scotsman/Dropped in the middle/Of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean/By providence, impoverished, in squalor/Grow up to be a hero and a scholar?

    John Laurens: The ten-dollar Founding Father/Without a father/Got a lot farther/By working a lot harder/By being a lot smarter/By being a self-starter/By 14, they placed him in charge of a trading charter.

    Marquis de Lafayette: And every day, while slaves were being slaughtered/And carted away across the waves/He struggled and kept his guard up/Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of/The brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow, or barter.

    Hercules Mulligan: Then a hurricane came/And devastation reigned/Our man saw his future/Drip-dripping down the drain/Put a pencil to his temple/Connected it to his brain/And he wrote his first refrain/A testament to his pain.

    Aaron Burr: Well, the word got around/They said, "This kid is insane, man"/Took up a collection/Just to send him to the mainland/Get your education/Don't forget from whence you came/And the world's gonna know your name/What's your name, man?

    Alexander Hamilton: Alexander Hamilton/My name is Alexander Hamilton/And there's a million things I haven't done/But just you wait/Just you wait.
