White Left | "Hamilton", the unity of American spirit

Finished "Hamilton" in two days, it was so good.

Before, a colleague went to the Kennedy Center to buy Zhang's worst position for $300, and I thought she was a bit sick. After watching this recording version, I thought I had to use theater once, because when I watched the official version, I really felt that the charm of live singing and dancing would overflow from the TV screen.

Although I like the vulgar human natures mentioned in it: love, affection, and friendship. Envy, betrayal, conceited. Smart, brave, and loyal, but watching this show on the sofa of my home in Washington, DC on Independence Day, the greater impact is that "Hamilton" provides another window to understand the "American spirit" and the "American dream."

The musical shows the story of the early days of the founding of the United States by telling the important deeds of Hamilton. The content itself shows how these founding fathers expounded the American spirit.

But what's more powerful is that, speaking of American founding fathers through popular rap music and musicals itself, this matter itself is very "American".

A large part of the "American Spirit" and "American Dream" dominated by the United States of popular culture, from film and music fashion to art exhibitions on Broadway Internet, it is almost invincible. This popular culture’s challenge to tradition and constant self-renewal is one of its most important cores. For example, this film "Hamilton" brought out the staid and majestic founding fathers we had in mind to sing hip-hop and swear words. It seemed rebellious, but in fact it received unanimous praise and received good reputation at the box office.

So this "Hamilton" is really the unity of form and spirit. The content is about the American spirit, and the form is also the strong continuation of the American spirit. It rolled from the time of the founding of George Washington, and traveled more than two hundred years to Broadway. It was taken by another official Disney synonymous with American spirit (this is simply a god assist), sent to the Internet, and radiated to all parts of the world.

Don't forget, the full name of "Hamilton" is "Hamilton: An American Musical", an American musical.

Tell me about CK’s new advertisement. The most powerful day of the demonstrations in Washington, the US capital. This issue of "The New Yorker" is too awesome. When the US epidemic is so severe, I went to the second hospital. Why do you want to watch "The Good Wife"? I said with a horror : "Shanghai, China." A cloud of fire in Washington

What exactly is that semi-open powder room? What is an old school? No matter how well-made "Creation 101" is made, it can't conceal its unadvanced nature that makes people feel happy-a sick sentence! A half-width period is used before the which clause, so you should stay in Rugao.
