The pinnacle of contemporary historical drama

It happened that I got together with two Taiwanese friends at noon today. They mentioned going to the cinema to watch "Eight Hundred" and "The Founding of the People's Republic of China". They felt that the "Founding of the People's Republic" was very one-sided, and I said, "Yeah, so I didn't watch it. The box office is supported by celebrities and civil servants."

So if you look at the "founding heroes" themes created by Americans, they are much more advanced. Its production style is very modern, with hip-hop arias, compact arrangements, successive climaxes, first-class lyrics and skills, and extremely commercial success. It is hard to get a ticket from a few hundred dollars, and Disney+ directly pulls downloads and subscriptions after it is released. How difficult is it to applaud and call innovative historical themes!

Compared with the three founding heroes (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin) who were all from the upper classes, Hamilton came from the bottom. He was an orphan and an immigrant, but he had big ambitions. He was determined to become a character when he was a teenager. "If you don't learn to become famous, you won't pay it back."

Throughout his life, he was diligent and diligent, and his pen was brilliant. Even as early as the 18th century, the West believed that peach news was damaging to political reputation. In the end, because of this, can't run for president. So you see, an era has an era of "morality". Slaves could run for president at the time, but not if they cheated after marriage. Because black people didn't have the vote at that time. But today, in today's BML, there is strong evidence of discrimination against black people, then you have lost this huge part of the vote base.

"Hamilton" has different skin tones, and some people say it's politically correct, but I think the talent of black actors in rap also needs to be taken into account. A performance of more than two hours, several times a day, many times a year, can you keep up with your physical strength? Can't go up when you sing? Is the rhythm stuck?

All in all, a free download link, paralyzed on the couch, to see such a peak musical is so blissful and healing.

And, one more point for the respect of the lighthouse country. You see, the background of the founding of the Lighthouse State is: adventure, courage, a freer and better future. And we of the farming civilization: diligence and patience are virtues. Different geographies and histories have created different national cultures. Look forward to the creation of a contemporary musical "Tan Sitong" or "Qiu Jin" by Chinese national culture!

    Alexander Hamilton: Burr, check what we got/Mr. Lafayette, hard rock like Lancelot/I think your pants look hot/Laurens, I like you a lot/Let's hatch a plot blacker than the kettle callin' the pot/What are the odds the gods would put us all in one spot/Poppin' a squat on conventional wisdom, like it or not/A bunch of revolutionary Manumission abolitionists/Give me a position, show me where the ammunition is/Oh, am I talking too loud? Sometimes I get overexcited, shoot off at the mouth/I never had a group of friends before/I promise that I'll make y'all proud.

    John Laurens: Let's get this guy in front of a crowd.
