If you really want to sum up "Hamilton" in a few words, it can only be too many elements. Pick a personal favorite "ten duel commandment" for this part. In the American films I watched when I was a child, there were quite a few scenes of western cowboys dueling with pistols wearing cowboy hats, but for the first time I knew that duels also had rules. The "Ten Rules of Dueling" shows that in fact, everyone has conflicts, and they still want to negotiate and reconcile. Dueling is only a last resort to defend one's reputation.
In my impression, there are three duels in the film, which are also three important turning points.
The first was a duel between Hamilton's friend Lawrence and Officer Lee. Lawrence fought for Hamilton and defeated Lee in this battle, but it intensified the conflict between Hamilton and Washington, causing Hamilton to be sent home.
The second time was when Hamilton's son heard someone insulting his father, a duel with a detractor for the dignity of his father. It was after this duel that Hamilton began to change from a workaholic who never took your time to an ordinary person who wandered around the suburbs, liked tranquility, and prayed to the church.
The third duel between Hamilton and Burr also represented the end of Hamilton's life. Hamilton chose to stand in place, pointed the muzzle to the sky, and waited for the bullet to hit, which was also a kind of end to his past.
Finally, back to social reality, with rules, it only makes sense if people are willing to abide by them. The last of the ten duels. In the final duel, the two sides should first stand with their backs facing each other, walk forward, and then turn around and shoot after dozens of counts. If you meet a villain, count five and turn your head to kill you, it will be very uncomfortable.
By the way, to sublimate the association, Ten Duel reminds me of the detective novels I read, and detective novels actually have Ten Commandments. In fact, it is quite necessary to make rules, and only reasonable rules can be followed by everyone voluntarily. The emergence of good rules requires people to have a moral level and a bottom line. People who turn back in five seconds will appear, and people who turn back in three seconds will follow. Bad money will drive out good money. The bottom line will be the same. Getting lower and lower, and finally no one was spared.
