it’s a great piece of american propaganda and we will always have to look at it critically for its glorification of the founding fathers
but
putting burr’s I Want song halfway through act 2 and then not having him even say “i want” until halfway through that song to signify how he do be waiting on the sidelines for things to happen to him is one of my favorite nuances in any musical ive ever seen. like how embarrassing to accidentally name your show after the villain
really disappointed in myself for putting this off for so long, but after watching this fucking awesome video from the take about the white savior trope i thought tonight should be the night. and goddamn! don’t i feel a fool!
and like i get it - some movies you put off because you know they’ll be upsetting. but if you’re a white person, especially in america, that excuse just ain’t valid. sorry! it’s fucking terrible and scary but its what…
always fun when a poorly written script includes a scene where characters accuse each other of being bad writers
