從In the heights 第一分鐘起, 林聚聚特色說唱、華麗音樂撲面而來。。。整個15分鐘濃濃紐約拉丁社區風情通過歡樂、愉悅的歌舞展示在觀衆眼前。。。。我第一個心中的想法是。。沃哦 如果說舞台上的是2D的話,這次的音樂電影就是3D 音樂劇。。。。舞台的歌聲、舞蹈、戲劇效果應有盡有。。。。再來,電視電影鏡頭下故事情節切換的節奏感,劇情人物細節如道具、表情特寫。。。以及紐約街頭那種真實自然的文化特色。。。如神來之筆一般給原來就驚豔的音樂劇又一次升華的機會*・゜゚・*:.。..。.:*・'(*゚▽゚*)'・*:.。. .。.:*・゜゚・* 有驚喜。。。如阿凡達首次上映是的感覺。。。音樂劇還可以這樣哒☆*:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆

當林巨巨 Lin Manuel Miranda 和 John M. Chu 音樂劇 “In The Heights” 是今年必須看的音樂劇哦。。。。2007年本劇推出是引起轟動, 在轉戰百老彙劇場後橫掃了包括最佳音樂劇在内的四項托尼獎項。。。。 “In The Heights”以其華麗、深具感染力的音樂為觀衆展示了一個有關社區和文化身份、引人入勝的故事。。。。

盡管演員陣容中沒有特别有名的,但是大多是精挑細選、唱功卓越。 我們在這部音樂電視電和影中科院找到漢密爾頓裡的Rap 音樂,編曲完美。。。更值得一提的是電影還有教育意義。。。。如Spike Lee的 《Do The Right Thing 》一樣,這部作品充滿了拉丁民族精神,講述了他們心懷自豪感、信心滿滿、積極與貧困鬥争的故事。

In the Heights doesn't forge the story of the changing face of New York as a battle. However, change is undergoing. As local businessman Kevin Rosario (Smits) quotes, the Heights was an Irish neighborhood before it was squeezed into part of Dominican Republic. Some businesses has been forced out, while others, say bodega, are closing. Usnavi (Ramos) has his dream of returning to the Dominican Republic, in order to reopen his father's old beachfront bar: The bodega, he tells the beach kids, was only meant to be a brief stop gap, but also an existence sign of a decade. The personnel is telling stories about his old block in New York's Hispanic Washington Heights as a flashback: his best friend, Benny (Hawkins), working at the neighborhood cab company; and Nina (Grace), from the block who got into Stanford carrying all the hopes and dreams of the community with her, and is buckling under the weight; and Vanessa (Barrera), working at the nail salon but desperate to move Downtown, past 14th Street, where her dreams of breaking into fashion are hanging by a thread.

There's no villain hanging over In the Heights, no one to really blame for anything. Instead, this is like a Shakespearian problem play in vibrant song-and-dance form, as the clock ticks down to a blackout. After all, what's NYC in the summer without someone sweating on a stoop? But the real countdown is in Usnavi's planned departure, and Nina returning to school, and Vanessa getting that apartment. If they get their dreams, then they leave the Heights.
