The weekend list finally completes one ✔

The official version of "Hamilton", hip-pop makes this musical fast-paced and informative, 160 minutes to watch it heartily

It is indeed a landmark musical that has won major awards, and I can immerse myself in this biographical subject when I know nothing about this history and characters and have no preference.

Ps George III really contracted the laughs of my whole play

Off topic:

The first musical I watched before was the "Chicago" movie, but this is still a movie after all, so "Hamilton" is the first musical I officially watched.

Thanks to Disney for buying the copyright, so that I can see it in my lifetime, I feel that going to Broadway is an unattainable dream (the English level is definitely not up to the standard)

In the past, my impression of musicals was that they were artistic, high-level, and required a certain artistic threshold and appreciation. It was the kind that felt a little out of reach for ordinary people. Although I admire it in my heart, I don't dare to approach it. Just like what the contestants said in the first season of "Sound into the Heart", the musical has become a closed loop, and the audience under the stage is still our industry insiders. But in recent years, with the rise of the Internet, fast food culture, and young people becoming more and more impetuous, this art form and many others are gradually declining. I feel that the "Hamilton" that appeared at this time is a model of the combination of tradition and modernity. If more people are exposed to and accept the theme of musicals, it may play a role in reviving an industry. Actors who make a living see hope to get back into the industry they love.

Just like the program "Sound into the Heart", although various players have dropped their horses this year, I have always agreed with the positive meaning of this program. The players in the first season really have both appearance and strength. Although they are superficial, high appearance is really the fastest way to become fans. Like the players, so as to understand the industry. Even I, after watching the show, said that I really wanted to see Zheng Yunlong's musical, but now it's hard to get a ticket haha, which is also a good thing. The United States has Broadway anyway, and an industry chain has been formed. Chinese musicals feel more unpopular and niche among our younger generation. A drama may only be played for three months, even if it is of high quality.

I hope that these industries will develop better and better, and all kinds of culture and art will flourish.

Hamilton quotes

  • Aaron Burr: I strike him right between his ribs/I walk towards him/But I am ushered away/They row him back across the Hudson/I get a drink/I hear wailing in the streets/Somebody tells me "You'd better hide"/They say Angelica and Eliza were both at his side when he died/Death doesn't discriminate/Between the sinners and the saints/It takes and it takes and it takes/History obliterates/In every picture it paints/It paints me in all my mistakes/When Alexander aimed at the sky/He may have been the first one to die/But I'm the one who paid for it/I survived, but I paid for it/Now I'm the villain in your history/I was too young and blind to see/I should've known, I should've known the world was wide enough/For both Hamilton and me/The world was wide enough/For both Hamilton and me.

  • Alexander Hamilton: Sit down, John, you fat mother
