Washington established the nation, Jefferson established liberty (ideology), Hamilton invented the dollar, Madison created the constitution, and John Marshall cast the law. As an old generation of American revolutionaries, Jefferson was pure white, while Hamilton was sleeping on Wall Street... As the opponents of idealistic "Mother Bitch" (this is a joke) such as Jefferson and Madison, the financial monster created by the practical man Hamilton is hideous. , the "nationalism" called for is quite centralized and hegemonic. Although it is indeed the capital of American hegemony, it cannot be called a universal value. This is indeed where Hamilton's historical reputation is not as good as Jefferson and others.
As a Chinese who likes Jefferson, it is hard to imagine that Americans can accept the images of Jefferson and Madison who are almost clowns; The screenwriter did find the same blind spots. Except for Hamilton, most of the founding fathers of the United States were from large estates, with the grace of gentlemen and the quality of books. Hamilton, on the other hand, is the representative of the traditional "American Dream" who has worked hard from the bottom. On the poster, Hamilton replaces the corner of the five-star, pointing to the sky, "One pair should not bully young poor", "My life is up to my 'Yazi'". (Interestingly, Hamilton and Jefferson fought a battle over whether to wear a fake headgear at the Constitutional Convention. Hamilton emphasized that the Constitutional Convention was sacred and must be worn. This seems to indicate that the "Bastard" boy is very Pay attention to the gentleman's morale.)
"Today's Wall Street was extradited by Hamilton's ideals. Five years after Hamilton's death, Jefferson returned to a farm in the middle of the Appalachian Mountains with a lifetime of respect for land and labor, July 4, 1926. Today is the 50th anniversary of the publication of the Declaration of Independence. On this day, 83-year-old Jefferson quietly left. After 8 years of presidential career, the meager salary made him unable to make ends meet. The first president to die in poverty." - CCTV documentary "Wall Street, Episode 3, Two Roads"
Not too fond of Hamilton's personality. Of course, it can't be regarded as hating him. This person has the vision and ability to govern the country like a genius; but he is not a mellow man, and he will duel with others at every turn. No matter how high his emotional intelligence is, how can he let the "Southern men" stubbornly "steal the right of residence for a long time" bit". Compared with his opponent Jefferson, historical evaluation has long been swaying between saints and big conspirators. "Little Han" is a shrewd guy who can see his heart at a glance and has no sense of it. He has read this book, although he thinks "Little Han" is a bit cute. , but after all, the condition is insufficient.
Precisely because Jefferson's brilliance has been stripped down by numerous historians, the glittering "Hamilton" wrapped in it is all the more alarming. It's as if Edison had to touch two muds in order to tout Tesla over the years. For example, "Little Han" raises a third child with a bit of "existence is reasonable" forgiveness. I don't know what bad effect this has on American audiences. I am afraid that many foreigners who do not know the truth will regard Jefferson and Madison as complete villains. This is boring. In 2020, a few days ago, black buddies in the United States engaged in BLM ("Black Lives Matter") and knocked down the statue of General Lee. I was afraid that after the gang watched it, they would smash the Jefferson Memorial on the way.

Broadway musicals, only watched "Cats", "Les Miserables", "The Phantom of the Opera" three. It cannot be dissected from a critical point of view of art; nor can it be drawn from a fan's point of view. Emotionally, it's still very attractive.
To say that the character I like is George III: the founder of the historical Kingdom of Great Britain, the founder of the British Empire. The little eyes that are walking the cat's foot, feeling strong and wanting to attack the sick, and the lyrics of the terrifying lover, are absolutely praised.
The second likes General George Washington coming home.
The third likes Hamilton's wife burning letters.
