I accidentally wrote too long to record the viewing experience

Maybe I was too full at noon, and I almost fell asleep after the opening and the introduction of various characters. In the first half, I was confused about what kind of story this is. Why is there a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west? Fortunately, after the death of the old grandmother, the various branches began to close, and I finally understood it... I happened to have a friend who was able to stay in the United States because of Ao Guanhai's generous policy. But because of this, the Mexican-American who cannot leave the United States for life, the part about undocumented immigrant looking for a way out for himself and the community in the face of his own identity is indeed so moving... (But I think this is also, the pain is average, so that the growth is strong Not enough, of course I can make up for it)

I haven't watched the original stage play and haven't done any homework. Here are a few thoughts during the viewing process:

1) The narrative rhythm of the movie is very musical. When each small plot ends and cuts to the next one, it seems to loudly announce that the stage is darkened and the scenery is changed to the next scene. The plots and scenes are obviously related to each other, but the effect of the filming is not much. It seems that the plot is fragmented, and the face-blind patient wears a half-time pain mask simply to clarify the relationship between the characters. In the same way, because of the narrative rhythm of the stage play, several small climaxes at the end of the plot gave me the illusion that there should be a 15-minute intermission.

2) In the movie, it is really difficult to understand the role of blackout in advancing the plot. Except for the death of the grandmother, the growth of other characters does not seem to be related to blackout. It seems inexplicable to regard it as an important time node. I came back and checked and heard that the effect of blackout on the stage was very shocking. I hope that I will have a chance to watch the scene after bway reopens.

3) I don’t know much about rap, but there are a few rap songs that play Hamilton every second, maybe because of the similar rhythm and rhythm, or because of the similar words and rhymes in the lyrics, it’s really hard to say whether it’s good or bad.

4) There are several scenes and choreography that are very interesting and beautiful, I like them

5) The ending of the story of the male protagonist turned out to be like this (no spoilers), I like this little design too

6) Oh, yes, the line of female college students, Stanford cried and chirped.jpg (just kidding) The conclusion drawn after growing up is very good, very correct, very tall, and the reason for the change... I personally have not been persuaded very well, after all, the front They are all paranoid like that, and they are instantly sublimated, but they can be accepted rationally. This thread wants me to say that what is more interesting is the change of the female college student's hairstyle, which corresponds well to the change of her mentality.

Finally, there is also a drama about Latino. When will there be a drama without prejudice and stereotypes to talk about the Asian community~
