The festivities—“100 Years of Film,” showcasing classic movies from the 1910s to the 2010s—will run until March 3, 2024.

Gosh, where do I even begin, this really is just a beautiful work of art, the composition & production, lyricism, and storytelling is so beautifully done....

We get so many multidimensional characters, we get to experience the story from different perspectives...

I love how he uses the music to complement the atmosphere, feeling, and emotions of a scene. This is something I've noticed in some of his other work as well...

What I love the most about the lyricism is how there's a constant repetition of certain lyrics that relate to certain characters, like with 'wait for it' with Aaron Burr or 'I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory' with Alexander Hamilton or the constant 'Aaron Burr, sir'. It really adds to the element of continuity of the story, like a character could feel a certain way right now and still feel that way in a few years or could still relate to that feeling in a few years...

It makes the characters seem more human, and really helps you remember that these were real life people, who had real feelings, makes them seem all the more vulnerable...

Like, I get why it took 7 years to create, something as amazing as this could only be done intentionally...

Lin Manuel Miranda really is a genius, you know, the type that only shows up like once in a century, that is if mankind is lucky....

In conclusion, it's a 10/10...

I got sucked into Hamilton again, and ill forever be upset how America declined to help France during their revolution...

But then again i understand they were not that strong back then, a newly born nation, im just really sad for Lafayette (especially here on the musical)

Like the poor man (along the other french that helped during the american revolution) risked his life for america, then went and fought for france, had to flee, got imprisoned in austria(?) then have an assassination attempt happen to him 😭

Anyways, why am i even getting emotional here when i dont even live in either countries😪

I saw the Super Mario Bros movie in 3D today. It was awesome! If you’re going to see this movie, I highly recommend catching the 3D version! 🍿
