This is the first time I have watched the official photo of a musical in its entirety, the first time I have watched it twice, the first time I cried for emotional outbursts in a musical, the first time I have such a lasting stamina for a musical... I hope that one day, I will be able to come to Broadway, to the scene of Hamilton's musical, and to resonate with many firsts.
Talk about the characters in the play.
One of the reasons for the success of this musical may be the successful shaping of the character of Hamilton. As a main theme musical that tells the history of the founding of the United States, Hamilton does not just praise his great achievements, but puts him in a historical environment, allowing the audience to walk into the scene of history with Hamilton and experience the choice of key historical moments. He neither avoids his blemishes and flaws, nor does he stingy praise his wisdom and achievements, but also intersperses the creator's explanation and emotion between the lines of the lyrics. Just like other geniuses, he used his extraordinary intelligence and talent to get out of the shackles of the bottom-level immigrants' ill-fated fate, and used his excellent writing skills to shine his name and glory. He took decisive action and seized the opportunity to rewrite history and reshape the world. Achieving great personal ambitions. However, the halo of genius also brings darkness. The fanatical pursuit of career and the perfect demand for achievements made him lose his wife's initial trust and love, and lost his bright political future; his alert and arrogant character made him lose the opportunity to make peace with political enemies, and he was ambitious. Hard-edged; as Angelica prophesied, he will never be satisfied. In my opinion, the most lovely thing about him is that he is true, true talent, true words, sincerity, true love, and true affection. he is american
The father of the country, Eliza's husband, Philip's father, an orphan and an immigrant, the intertwining and overlapping of different social roles, the tearing experience of various experiences, and the blending and contrasting of different personalities make him three-dimensional and plump and win every audience. Respect (or even love) from the bottom of my heart.
Aaron Bohr seems to be Hamilton's mirror. Similar circumstances and contrasting personalities make their fates like quantum entanglement. Only the bloody life of one side can end this endless struggle and contradiction.
Angelica has a clear mind and outstanding cognition, and also has a longing for love and a firm commitment to family affection. She shoulders the responsibility of the eldest daughter of the family, which is distressing and admirable.
Before Eliza burned the letters she wrote to Hamilton, I thought she was just a gentle and kind-hearted lady, a good wife and a good mother. However, after her misfortune, she experienced pain and struggle, and her decisiveness and thoroughness in making decisions allowed me to see her growth. Zeng also did not understand Eliza's forgiveness for Hamilton. I think she lived in a quiet and remote suburb after experiencing the pain of the death of her son and sister one after another and Hamilton's change and reflection, trying to get rid of the haze of life. It has its own reasons. After Hamilton's death, you're still wondering if you've done enough. What a tender, firm, strong, scarred and crystal clear heart this is. contracted most of my tears.
George III not only has the arrogant contrast between innocent and clear eyes and harsh words, but also has a wink that always appears just right on various occasions. Contracted most of the corners of my mouth up.
Let's talk about this show.
Costumes, music, staging, lighting, and sophisticated history... Although it is difficult for a layman to comment on these, as an audience, we can truly feel the good intentions of the creative team and the excellent performance presented by the performance. This is an outstanding team, an unparalleled collaboration and feast.
The close-up details of the official photo can make the audience more immersed in the performance of the actors. The musical actors not only sing at a high level, but also perform superbly. Washington, who was particularly impressed, had tears in his eyes when he bid farewell to the presidency. The reluctance, firm belief, and expectation and longing for the country in the future were revealed in his eyes, which was touching. It was Washington's brightest moment on stage.
Naturally, there is no need to say much about LMM's lyric writing skills. It not only has a large amount of information and is in line with the personality of the characters, but also the wording, rhythm, and connotation are worthy of careful analysis.
Finally, let me talk about the historical view that I think this drama wants to convey.
Before the real Hamilton was hit by Aaron Pohl's bullet, it was probably unthinkable that hundreds of years later today, someone would bring him from the books of historians on the shelf to the United States and even today. under the keen attention of the world.
Compared with other founding fathers, Hamilton's life was too short, his political resume was not perfect, his enemies were too powerful, his fate was too grand and rough, and the particularity of his own achievements made his efforts not known to the world. How difficult is it to go out of your own way according to your own will in the tide of history, and let later generations follow your own thoughts. Sometimes, people may not be able to overcome the sky. Isn't it the embodiment of You have no control. Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?
However, the play also tells us: History has its eye on you. Even if the achievements are like the sprouting of new seeds in the garden, the initial notes of the song are always not obvious and difficult to be found by others, but there is still history that will be remembered, the country will remember, People will remember.
Even though people cannot manipulate history, individuals still have to keep a sober head in the torrent of the times, insist on making correct choices, and seize the opportunities of the times. History will give everyone a fair evaluation.
Who lives, who dies, who tells your story? How are you going to answer this question?
Finally, let me say a few words, many of the content that I felt deeply when I read it is not very impressive when I start writing after reading it... This is a work that is worth and can stand to read several times!
