Imperfect Hamilton, Perfect "Hamilton"

It's better to make a Chinese version of "Hamilton" who has been chattering against historical nihilism. History is not perfect, so how can historical figures be perfect?

After taking the management exam, there is nothing worth spending a lot of time reviewing (access is almost given up = =), and Lai watched two movies for the first time in the multimedia room: the first Hitchcock movie and the first musical. I have to say, Shaw Museum yyds! (Next time, try to make an appointment with the disc player. I feel that the disc player is more enjoyable. First, read the discs in the museum)

Before watching it, I heard that "Hamilton" was written in rap, and I always thought it was an urban story (Shi Bing was my QAQ), but later I opened it and found out that it was a founding general of the United States, which is a contrast! (In the second Congress battle, watching two people diss each other under Washington's host, it's a shit, my head is going to explode) I don't often listen to rap, and now I have to get into the rap pit of musicals.

The 160-minute recording and broadcasting almost presents a three-dimensional image of Hamilton: a young genius, unfortunate family background, ambitious, talented, bucking the current, showing mercy everywhere, losing a child in middle age, being frustrated in love, letting go of his previous hatred, and dying. Festival, you name it. (I remember watching "Thirteen Invitation" Jin Yucheng said not to make people "scumbags" superficially. I didn't agree or understand it before, but now I really find that I can't use a temporary scum. Male behavior denies everything about a person [it's not an excuse to say that you can do scumbags!]. Men can't control their human nature [correspondingly compare the existence of "scumbags"], or is it the construction of a patriarchal society?)

In addition, I have to say that the lead actor and screenwriter LMM, at first glance, I thought how this unremarkable person could play such a person = = Later, I became fragrant, how can I be so attractive, what the hell!

    Aaron Burr: Geniuses, lower your voices/You keep out of trouble and you double your choices/I'm with you, but the situation is fraught/You've got to be carefully taught/If you talk, you're gonna get shot.

    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.
