Review 4K Movie

Lin-Manuel Miranda is my favorite author. Anything: a concept album, a poem, a stage production ... It's all about his absolutely brilliant musical 'Hamilton', which turned my idea of ​​my favorite genre upside down. But before that, Miranda released on Broadway another thing that received 'Tony'. Her name is In The Heights.

This is a story about an area in New York called Washington Heights, in which serious passions flare up. Usnavi (Anthony Ramos), a small shop owner dreams of moving to the Dominican Republic; the daughter of a taxi director leaves Stanford for lack of money, and the screen keeps counting down the days until the entire neighborhood blackout.

And love reigns in Washington Heights. Despite all the hardships of living in a poor area, love really saves.

Musically, In The Heights only at the very beginning will seem similar to 'Hamilton' work. Indeed, there are identical elements here: a mixture of hip-hop and r`n`b, working with leitmotifs, a separate musical phrase for each character. But, at the same time, the musical offers much more ethnicity than the voices of the streets. Every now and then, in the dialogues and songs, enchanting and passionate Spanish sounds, and Washington Heights is simply created for incendiary parties in the style of West Side Story, with which you can find much more parallels than with Miranda's future work.

The only thing: the directed film is not always good. This is not about choreography, she is great: John Chu is great at putting on dances in any genre. But there are blurry frames, and just unsuccessfully awkward decisions.

But don't forget that In The Heights is a true Broadway gem that speaks of both the dream and the impoverished life of immigrants. And even the worst director in the world won't spoil it. Although, once it happens that the Oscar-winning visionary stumbles and releases 'Cats'. Anything can be.

After watching this picture, I want to headlong into this area and meet Lin-Manuel Miranda, so that he utters the crown:

Ice cold piragua! Parcha. China. Cherry. Strawberry. And just for today, I got mamey!
