"Hamilton" is still an explosive drama, an optimistic revision of history, full of creative light, and these lights can help us out of the current darkness. There is an extraordinary director here- Thomas Kail again -so the lens captures the scenes on the theater stage without losing any close-up close-up texture of the movie. Like the stage version, the lines and music are passionate, emotionally exciting-all of which originated from the actors.

Alexander Hamilton: We won the war. What was it all for? Do you support this Constitution?
Aaron Burr: Of course.
Alexander Hamilton: Then defend it.
Aaron Burr: What if you're backing the wrong horse?
Alexander Hamilton: Burr, we studied and we fought, and we killed for the notion of a nation/We now get to build for once in your life/Take a stand with pride/I don't understand how you stand to the side.

George Washington: You wanna pull yourself together?
Alexander Hamilton: I'm sorry. These Virginians are birds of a feather.
George Washington: Young man, I'm from Virginia. So watch your mouth.
Alexander Hamilton: So we let Congress get held hostage by the South?
George Washington: You need the votes.
Alexander Hamilton: No, we need bold strokes. We need this plan.
George Washington: No, you need to convince more folks.
Alexander Hamilton: Well, James Madison won't talk to me. That's a nonstarter.
George Washington: Ah. Winning was easy, young man. Governing's harder.
Alexander Hamilton: They're being intransigent.
George Washington: You have to find a compromise.
Alexander Hamilton: They don't have a plan. They just hate mine!
George Washington: Convince them otherwise.
Alexander Hamilton: And what happens if I don't get congressional approval?
