You guys!!! I just saw the movie a few hours ago, and omgosh! 😁 In the words of our dearest Evan H, words fail! I have no words to fully describe the experience. To the cast and crew: Y’all created something beyond amazing. You have my eternal thanks, and you bet your ass I’m back in the theater this weekend to see it again!! 😂

I haven’t experienced this kind of joy in a theater in a looooong time. You know when the audience ERUPTS into applause during a MOVIE that you made the right choice by going to a theater. You can not recreate that experience in your home. I am so glad they built this film and used Broadway actors and did not try to make everyone look beautiful and use high outrageous homes and apartments. It felt very genuine and true to the cultures. I absolutely LOVED the salon scene one of the most creative things I’ve seen. Man its so beautiful! I had all the feels.

@MakeoJames 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Brent! The creative side of me was jumping for joy on the inside while watching this movie because of the way they reimagined this show in a movie format. And yep, they had successfully managed to make you feel the neighborhood aspect of this by using real people, diff shapes, sizes, faces and was culturally accurate. 😊

Ex Washington Heights resident here(MANY years ago) How absolutely wonderful to see the old neighborhood!! I grew up 2 blocks from the main film site and even spied my aunt's little 2 story house as they walked toward Highbridge pool.

I like that this version establishes Usnavi as a community leader in a couple different ways. Obviously he runs the bodega that’s the heartbeat of the block but he’s also teaching those kids and that tourist how to get to Washington Heights. It goes from being a joke in the Broadway show to being an example of Usnavi’s generous nature with the tourist, and his status in the community when he teaches the kids how to get home. That’s a survival skill.

@MakeoJames 3 жыл бұрын

Hi! Yep I agree, and Anthony is perfect as Usnavi. Lin was the first one, but Anthony I feel is more Usnavi in terms of attitude, style, personality and perhaps age. 😁

I went to an advanced screening and am doing another one - it's absolutely possible to be safe and see it. It was my first movie since before the pandemic and I didn't feel unsafe. I ate and then put my mask on, but I'm fully vaccinated so I didn't actually have to. Everyone seemed aware of things like coughing or being too talkative since that's how it transmits, so if anything find smaller theaters showing it so you'll have a smaller crowd. But it's a marvelous movie!!!

I just saw it at an advanced screening and am going AGAIN to see it at another advanced screening! My first movie since before the pandemic and what a way to re-introduce my love of all things cinema! It is ABSOLUTELY worth the price of admission for just the first few songs and it does not feel like a 2 hour runtime. It's engaging and wonderful and as a first generation Cuban-American woman, I feel so seen. There are just some things that only Latinx writers will understand and they captured so many smaller nuances that I held in tears for good reasons! You'll feel so much and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND seeing it once it comes to theatres - MULTIPLE times if you can! Support the Latinx creators and performers and crew that made this spectacular movie!

It’s going to be rough sitting and not getting up to dance and sing. I couldn’t stop smiling the whole I watched this and basically started crying the second Usnavi showed up on the screen. Totally agree about Camilla, I’ve been listening to Broadway soundtrack for 10 yrs that it threw me off when I heard it first time but I’m so excited and can not wait. It’s so exciting to see other people excited about it, I had to educate some of my friends about in the heights lol hopefully when we go see it they will love it as much as I do.

Normally I would avoid watching the first eight minutes of an upcoming movie but this was an exception mainly because it's Lin Manuel Miranda and it's the musical that helped put him on the map. Some could say Hamilton did but when in reality it was in the heights. I've never seen the stage show so I'm going into this movie a little blind which is sort of the great thing about musicals is that you go into them completely blind. Recommendation listen to this song at 1.25x speed it's even more amazing.

@MakeoJames 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Nick! I admire Hamilton for bringin in a whole new set of theater audiences, and yes maybe helped put Lin on the map, but with In The Heights, is where he drew the map. I have always felt In The Heights is a far superior show to Hamilton in terms of concept, subject matter, music, creativity and overall production. You’ll have an awesome time with In The Heights! We would love to hear what you think after seeing it ☺️ UPDATE: I just tried your 1.25x speed recommendation and omg! 😅 It added another level of vibrancy to the songs and the choreography! thank you thank you ☺️

There aren't a lot of huge Broadway fans where I live, so it was heartwarming to come across a video of you viewing these first eight minutes (and yes, these are the first eight minutes of the movie) with eyes that see like mine do. I went to a screening on Mothers Day and reacted just like you (mesmerized, happy-weepy, trying not to sing every line of every song, noticing and then reconciling every discrepancy from the broadway version) throughout the entire beautiful, oh-so-long-but-not-long-enough film. I was kind of glad to have seen it by myself, with nobody there to wonder why I was so giddy, so emotional, so proud--as if I'd actually had something to do with bringing it to the big screen myself. It seemed silly until I ran across your video and realized you might've felt the same way. I can't wait to see it again and again and again. You're gonna love it!
