Hamilton

Before watching it, I was amazed at its music, lyrics, lighting and dance beauty. Now, watching it again during the epidemic, I feel very sad. Trump, who is not a traditional politician, came to power, all kinds of incredible anti-intellectualism in the epidemic, and then the BLM movement some time ago. The founding fathers of that year laid a solid institutional foundation for the United States. Seeing them constantly singing legacy on stage, I wonder how they would feel if they could see the situation today. Back then, they would not have imagined that the rise of various social media today would allow candidates to bypass the traditional media controlled by elites and communicate directly with the people, and elect such a president. Nor would they have thought that it was politically correct for black actors to sing their stories on stage today, and just a few short years later racism was brought to the forefront again. The United States today is far from what they imagined back then.

Broadway finally sold the film and television rights, which is probably the only good thing brought about by the epidemic to me. New York used to be my favorite place to go, and one of the reasons was to see Hamilton, and thanks to my dad Disney, I didn't have to go there and brought it straight to my house. I don't know if I can go in this lifetime.

Looking at the red, white and blue lights, I couldn't help but think that I was also watching Dabei, and sighed when I could bring the magnificent history of my country to the stage. LMM turned around and wrote this Hamilton. The difference between man and man is sometimes no greater than man and dog.

I'm probably a fine point. When I saw Dabei, I wanted to slap my thigh and go to revolution with them, and when I saw Hamilton crying with tears in his eyes, he was not an American, but he was really proud of the Americans...

I really feel that I hate the book when it’s time to use it. When I was a freshman or sophomore, I was asked by my teacher to read the Federalist Papers. Knowing the writing background and purpose of this anthology, that's all, what specific political ideas they have, I really don't remember at all when I think about it now. In fact, my university major itself is a history of the founding of the United States. If I had a little bit of refreshment in my major class, maybe I would have a better understanding of what they were fighting on stage. If I watched this drama before going to college, I would probably definitely study hard.

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
