It was originally a five-star good show

It is indeed a wonderful drama. From all angles ( too many advantages, not one by one ), including the professionalism of each performer of different skin color, they deserve a lot of applause.

Mixed with political correctness , this is my personal reason for deducting two stars. I personally think that historical dramas are historical dramas. It is not necessary to add minorities to the stories performed by pure white people (for example, three sisters in a white family should also be composed of three actors with different skin colors). Common sense concepts will be more or less easily denied People play. From this drama, plus the political correctness in the recent blm movement (for example, the black list, the black list, the white list, and the white list have to be replaced by a company)... it can be seen that American society is actively providing support to minorities (especially blacks). ) Looking for some psychological comfort , but putting a fig leaf on social system problems (ignoring problems and transferring contradictions) can really solve the problems of unfairness and racial discrimination itself?

Speaking of the drama itself, the presence of minorities and even starring in historical stories of white people, does it mean that minorities have truly participated in the "great" history that dominates the United States? How many opportunities do they have to participate in the future? Politically correct description may be just a kind of self-hypnosis.

By the way, Hamilton described the French Revolution: "It was just a people's riot." The American double standard is indeed a fine tradition in history.

Hamilton quotes

  • Aaron Burr: I strike him right between his ribs/I walk towards him/But I am ushered away/They row him back across the Hudson/I get a drink/I hear wailing in the streets/Somebody tells me "You'd better hide"/They say Angelica and Eliza were both at his side when he died/Death doesn't discriminate/Between the sinners and the saints/It takes and it takes and it takes/History obliterates/In every picture it paints/It paints me in all my mistakes/When Alexander aimed at the sky/He may have been the first one to die/But I'm the one who paid for it/I survived, but I paid for it/Now I'm the villain in your history/I was too young and blind to see/I should've known, I should've known the world was wide enough/For both Hamilton and me/The world was wide enough/For both Hamilton and me.
