Douban's first long film review for Hamilton

It's the first musical 2h40 that I've watched seriously. The cat seems to have more dancing content and a slightly weird atmosphere. I don't like it that much, but this one I really voted for the highest score with both hands and feet. The United States was founded. The characters and what happened before and at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China are very clearly explained, so that I now have a little understanding and insight into American history. At the same time, the lyrics and melody of all songs are very good, especially the lyrics, but I try to only listen to QQ music. The audio discovery effect of the average is average, which further shows how good the performances of the actors are. It is not enough to have excellent lyrics! As the lyrics sing, Alexander Hamilton was indeed a lesser-known Founding Father and a completely self-made Founding Father. The low point was when Washington insisted on retiring and his affair was revealed by his opponents and his son was killed in a duel for his reputation so he also retired for a while until the presidential election of 1800 2v1 until he died I think He also understands that he didn't leave with too many regrets because there are too many people he wants to meet in another world. There are also two very impressive characters Aaron Burr. One is equally good and from a good background. But not as "lucky" as Hamilton in his career and the United Kingdom did not get Washington's reuse when he was president and did not enter the cabinet and the above said Hamilton got the last straw that crushed Burr when he competed with Jefferson. Hamilton chose Jefferson Burr as president over two people he didn't like. Maybe it's hard to get ready to think it's fine to be vice president, but Jefferson changed the rules. The second-place voter can no longer be vice president. So he singled out Hamilton and proposed a duel, but after killing Hamilton, he realized that there is room for the two of us in this world. The other is his wife, Eliza. What touched me the most was that she said that God gave her what Hamilton wanted most. What I wanted but didn't have was time. She lived a long time. She interviewed soldiers who worked with her husband. Compiled what Hamilton wrote. But what struck me the most was that she opened the first private orphanage in nyc because Alexander was also an orphan.
