Hamilton

people just hate to hate man im not from america so idk much abt this a. hamilton thing but the songs are good the writing is good EVERYTHING IS GOOD imo idk why theres so much disappointment. its probably cuz its in the wrong category but still i dont see why people have to rate it <50% its so peak and yes i am 10 years late who cares. the vocals were AMAZING bro and ive seen the reviews abt how this is quote "not built for people outside of america" BUT thats def completely false im from a whole nother continent and i personally think this is the best thing ive watched in my whole life. im not glazing or maybe i just have really bad taste lol the acting wasnt even that bad idk why people are SO pressed

I was stunned by all of those negative reviews. I thought the stage play was masterfully presented on the big screen. The camera work was well coordinated and well edited, with attention to views from above and strategic close-ups of the actors, revealing the extent of their talent and their immersion in their roles. The stage design was better appreciated from the higher cameras, which revealed far more than could have been seen from a seat in the theater. There are not sufficient words to extoll the composer, both musically and lyrically. Hamilton, the play, is a work of pure genius and of rigorous attention to crafting every word and nuance. Of course one must also acknowledge the author of the book upon which Hamilton was based, which I assume was a significant creation, even though I have not read it. I am in awe of Lin-Manuel Miranda, and I sincerely encourage audiences to partake of this masterpiece.

I didn’t finish Hamilton. I didn’t want to. I didn’t need to. From the moment someone opened their mouth and started rapping about the Federalist Papers, I knew: this was not for me. Impressive, I guess, but also exhausting. It’s like being stuck at a dinner party where everyone speaks in rhyming couplets and references the Constitution. I didn’t sign up for “Founding Fathers: The Talent Show.” There’s a certain smugness to it all, too — that unbearable “we’re making history cool!” vibe that only makes it more unbearable. It’s like being trapped in a high school production with a million-dollar budget. Hamilton is uniquely bad because it’s exactly the kind of thing a theater kid thinks is genius while everyone else in the room slowly loses the will to live.
