so listening to this again, I guess the main thing about Lin's work is "Who tells someone's story? Who keeps their legacy? How is someone known or remembered?"
Sort of - this one is a bit more layered as well. This is also finding your own story and your own legacy since we as a Latinx community are so misplaced or disconnected from so much of our culture. This is truly one of his best works and has so many layers and connections to us all. It's truly so much more than legacy.
@@johnvinals7423 given Kristina Lopez's response to my initial post, I'd say it's a yes. As Encanto also touched on legacy a bit. Granted it has been a while since I watched Encanto.
The choreography in this film was EVERYTHING! Has anyone seen an interview with the choreographers? I'd love to hear from them and see them get their kudos!
"Yeah I'm a streetlight chillin' in the heat. I illuminate the stories of the people in the street." It's something about that line and how he came from choking in the heat and frozen to his seat. Excuse me while I cry happy tears.
1:07-2:03 = best fake-out “happy” ending ever, all in a major key, as the texture builds towards “epic” with each repetition of that main musical idea. Inspired way to trick the audience into thinking it’s finished.
@@adrieI Yes thats her, Doreen Montalvo. Lin-Manuel Miranda said in his interview on the Tamron Hall Show that she does make an appearance in the " 'para siempre' section " in which "she gets to live forever inside this show (movie)". ruclips.net/video/n6yw4hU2Hd8/видео.html
This movie means so much to me. Reasons why I love the movie (1). The music (2). The Actors (3). The latino/Mexican represent (4). All of the stuff (5). It’s Summee
Since Lin is Puerto Rican it would be more Puerto Rican/Latino representation. Also since the music is a combination of hip hop and Salsa, and Salsa is Caribbean.
Moved from PR to Miami and now on to build my final home. The line of “the hydrant is a beach, the siren is a breeze, the fire escape’s a leaf on a palm tree” is very powerful to me
The combination of chord progression, instrumentation, lyrics, melody, harmony, character arc payoff and emotion in what is essentially a twist ending was overwhelming for a first-time viewer, and I was profoundly affected and delighted by this sequence, to the point that I teared up again at home finding the song for the first time on Spotify. Musically I think it’s sublime, and marks the first time I’ve ever felt genuinely *moved* by rap. So many details work together here to produce the overall effect. For example, just listen to how when Usnavi is deciding he’ll stay, one piano chord is heard through a filter (slightly distorted), but as he makes his mind up more thoroughly and the mood lifts, the next chord is crisp and in high quality as the intensity and tempo are taken up a notch before the rap comes in. It’s just awesome. Emphasis of “I’m home” through repetition is great, as is the emphasis of the most thematically important lyrics at the end of stanzas: “I found my island, I’ve been on it this whole time…!” As you can understand, I was secretly furious at my girlfriend for not being much affected by any of it…
Also: genius reprise of the lyric “lights up on Washington Heights” (the first words of the entire musical) in the finale, which I think serves the purpose of a bit of a story structure bluff. It sends the implicit message “this is the epilogue which ‘bookends’ the whole story, which has finished,” making you more likely to dismiss the possibility of another story beat yet to occur (Usnavi changing his mind about leaving). Clever stuff!
Genius use of instruments: at 3:34 there is a mellow electric piano chord, or maybe an organ sound, but for the very next chord at 3:37, it’s replaced by a crisp electric piano. What an effective way to score the exact moment the characters realise Usnavi is staying in the heights for sure: the keyboard sound goes from murky to clear, just like their clarity of thought (and Usnavi’s). Sublime!
God I am OBSESSED with Carla’s angelic voice when she sings “the hydrants are open, cool breezes blow” and then when Daniela (and maybe Cuca? I can’t tell for sure) join in jjklgsjjd it’s SO GOOD.
Me and my friend were sobbing in theatres today when we watched this scene 😭 it was so beautifully done, I haven’t seen the original musical on Broadway but I’m sure it was every bit as amazing as this movie was!
Theres a lot of small similarities in the music from both musical. Every composer has their voice and they tend to appear time and time again. I love it.
I like how at the end of the movie, Iris wears the hat, and the kids have seen alot of things that are important to the story (the champagne bottle, the mural, the cloths,etc)
I feel like this movie/musical was made for me. It reminded me of my own grandmother and the people around me. This musical isn't for everyone or everyone's taste but you know what it's for the minorities that don't get this kind of representation in media. Salute.
Why do almost all of these songs make me emotional, Breathe, When You’re Home, Blackout, Paciencia y fe, alabanza, champagne, & finale all make me tear up or get emotional
I was on a cruise and this movie was playing. I didn't watch it but I was walking by when this song was playing and it ended and I remember thinking "wow, what an ending." So props.
This scene/song broke me more than any other. The callbacks to previous songs were beautiful, and Anthony showed sooooo much emotion it's not even fair. Brilliant way to wrap it all up ❤️
Why is this movie/musical so amazing? (1) The representation of latino countries (2) The music (3) the actors (4) The twist (not saying in case you haven't heard this) (5) It hits hard (6) Sonny lol
I don't know why the album version of this song has him say "Lights up" but in the movie, he says "Light down" Anyway, this song is amazing and the reveal with the beach was amazing.
Whenever I am angry, mad, or sad, I go downstairs to my computer and play In The Heights. I love how if it's by Lin you can tell because the music is so good.
Having Usnavi be a dad in the future added a nice touch to the story. But i wanted Abuela Claudia to be on the mural like in the stage version. Other than that, I'm glad they did the ending justice and the orchestration. Shame my mom and i had to leave the theater after the fade to black.
I paused the video at 0:00 so I could just look at the comments, this is my favorite Broadway finale and I don't want to be spoiled by it, I'll wait to experience this in theaters next week 🥲 Edit: Oh my goodness... I didn't expect this rendition of the Finale to hit as hard as it did. They did my favorite finale in Broadway history justice in this movie. I'm definitely doing a movie review on this amazing movie musical
Non spoiler ending review: it's as spectacular as the Broadway, maybe even better. I also saw the original production on Broadway with Lin Manuel Miranda. It takes a lot to make me cry but the movie nailed the ending. It was beautiful
‘Check 1-2-3’ This is a great movie! If you love Lin-Manuel Miranda and Anthony Ramos I highly recommend watching this movie! Can we mention how talented Vanessa “Melisa Barrera” is the, ladies/ females in this movie do not get enough credit for their voices and contribution to this movie including Leslie Grace, Daphne Rubis Vega and many more. Thank you Lin for writing this amazing story about Usnavi and Anthony Ramos for playing the part!
Well the whole sonny outside sorting the trash while Usnavi counts a sack full of cash in a blackout was all changed in it cause the movie changed the story but i laughed because they kept the stepping to vanessa, I'm getting a second date line lol

So here Usnavi stays thanks to inspiration from Vanessa and her discovery of Pete's genius leading to Pete's Beach. In the musical Usnavi was ONLY inspired to stay by Pete's portrait of abuela.

Yep. I usually despise the storytelling from the future cliché but here, the execution was absolutely brilliant.
@@quanfantastic4831 Most definitely! It was a great scene!
When I saw the painting on the wall I knew on thing he never left the heights
Rest in Peace, Doreen.
Such a powerful voice she had...
Alabanza a Doreen Montalvo...
Indeed.
She was called Cuca in the musical so they added Cuca to memorialize her in the movie
@@trin873 Um, no, Doreen was still very much alive while they filmed the movie xD
@@runefaustblack Yes she was called cuca as her nickname and she helped alot in the musical
"Abuela that ain't a stoop that's your throne!"
"Long after your birds have all flown!"

Would you say this is also a big theme in “Encanto”?
@@johnvinals7423 given Kristina Lopez's response to my initial post, I'd say it's a yes. As Encanto also touched on legacy a bit.
Granted it has been a while since I watched Encanto.
It’s a great story, I like both Hamilton and In The Heights and I love the idea of a cross over musical between the two written by Lin.
Graffiti Pete: He hates it
Sonny: Shh He’s forming an artistic opinion
LmAo
Ik haha the whole movie theatre was laughing at this one😂
i live for sonny 😭
The choreography in this film was EVERYTHING! Has anyone seen an interview with the choreographers? I'd love to hear from them and see them get their kudos!
There's a whole segment on them. Search ' Wepa! In The Heights choreogrpahy" on RUclips. It's phenomenal. So much respect to the choreographers!

"And just when you think you're a sick of living here the memories floods" 😣
"There goes my flight" always gets me.
"Some have happy endings, some are bittersweet, but I know them all and that's what makes my complete" I love that part
I love the vocal delivery of Usnavi's line, "What do we leave behind?"
Love this movie, man 🇲🇽🇵🇷
"Yeah I'm a streetlight chillin' in the heat. I illuminate the stories of the people in the street."
It's something about that line and how he came from choking in the heat and frozen to his seat.

Good catch
If I remember correctly, the person who opens the song pasted away last year
Rest in peace
Very sad. Her name was Doreen Montalvo. Heres her singing a cut song from the bway musical: ruclips.net/video/hcuWdtVZ8Pk/видео.html
yes it she was an understudy/swing for all the female roles. so sad she passed away.
She was in the movie, I think that’s her during Breathe telling Nina “No me precupo per Ella”. Correct me if I’m wrong tho
@@adrieI Yes thats her, Doreen Montalvo. Lin-Manuel Miranda said in his interview on the Tamron Hall Show that she does make an appearance in the " 'para siempre' section " in which "she gets to live forever inside this show (movie)".

That's was such a nice surprise to see her there
Vanessa is a good mother, and the kids at the end. that hit me.
This movie means so much to me.
Reasons why I love the movie

Since Lin is Puerto Rican it would be more Puerto Rican/Latino representation. Also since the music is a combination of hip hop and Salsa, and Salsa is Caribbean.
all the love to doreen mantalvo, all the movie cast, and everyone who put their hearts into this musical. what a tear wrencher.
stephanie’s angelic voice.
So many goosebumps when I realized Doreen Montalvo was singing the same song as Abuela and their stories are both in posthumous context. Like....🙏🏽🇨🇺💜
stephanie beatriz’s voice is so beautiful in this 🥺
Moved from PR to Miami and now on to build my final home. The line of “the hydrant is a beach, the siren is a breeze, the fire escape’s a leaf on a palm tree” is very powerful to me

I am so glad he stayed! When I watched the scene in the movie I almost started crying!
I wanted Usnavi to leave temporarily. But as long as he's home, that's something
Nina singing Camilas old part from the original show!!! Ahh🥲
When the record started skipping my heart officially tore in half.
Rest in peace Doreen Montalvo 🙏

I saw the play and the fireworks song was the best. The theater actúally went dark for a few seconds.
at 3:42 that record scratching sounds *very* similar to the record scratching about 30 secs into 'your obedient servant' from hamilton
Honestly that would’ve been pretty cool if they used that same sample scratch
this one actually was done in the original cast recording of the broadway show.
Theres a lot of small similarities in the music from both musical. Every composer has their voice and they tend to appear time and time again. I love it.
I like how at the end of the movie, Iris wears the hat, and the kids have seen alot of things that are important to the story (the champagne bottle, the mural, the cloths,etc)

legacy, what is a legacy?

lights up in the beginning, lights down in the end.

My son sings that when he runs outside in the sprinklers.
Good touch to add the kids going to play "in the water" (hydrants instead of the sea) and the passing of Usnavi's dad's hat down a couple generations.
Just watched the movie for the first time, 30 minutes ago. I nearly shedded a tear; it was amazing.
I did shed a tear. Miranda is a genius.
Uuff Anthony's " what do we leave behind?" at 2:37 😔
From "yeah I'm a street light, choking on the heat" to "yeah I'm a street light, chilling in the heat".
who lives, who dies, who tells your story
Having Usnavi be a dad in the future added a nice touch to the story. But i wanted Abuela Claudia to be on the mural like in the stage version. Other than that, I'm glad they did the ending justice and the orchestration. Shame my mom and i had to leave the theater after the fade to black.

It won't be long now...
There's a breeze off the Hudson
And just when
You think you're sick of living here the memory floods in
The morning light, off the fire escapes
The nights in Bennett Park blasting Big Pun tapes
I'm 'a miss this place, to tell you the truth:
Kevin dispensin' wisdom from his dispatch booth
And at dawn, Vanessa at the salon, we gotta move on
But who's gonna notice we're gone?
When our job's done, as the evening winds
Down to a crawl, son, can I ease my mind
When we're all done? When we've resigned
In the long run, what do we leave behind?
Most of all, I'll miss Abuela's whispers
Doin' the Lotto Pick Six every Christmas
In five years, when this whole city's rich folks and hipsters
Who's gonna miss this raggedy little business?
What it do? Ha ha, great sunlight this morning
Yo cuz! We fixed the grate!
What did I tell you about this punk?
You have to commission an artist while his rate is still good
It's the first work in my new series
He pulls down the grate. Silence
He hates it
Shh. He's forming an artistic opinion
You did this last night?
Yeah
There goes my flight
What?
Graffiti Pete you're gonna need some new cans
Here's some money, finish up
There's been a slight change of plans!
Nice!
Listen up guys, you got a job, I'm not playin'
You gotta go now, tell the whole block I'm stayin'!
Go ahead, tell everyone we know!
Sonny...
Alright, go!
Yeah, I'm a streetlight!
Chillin' in the heat!
I illuminate the stories of the people in the street
Some have happy endings
Some are bittersweet
But I know them all and that's what makes my life complete
We're home!
USNAVI
And if not me, who keeps our legacies?
Who's gonna keep the coffee sweet with secret recipes?
Abuela, rest in peace, you live in my memories
But Sonny's gotta eat, and this corner is my destiny
We're home!
Brings out the best in me, we pass a test and we
Keep pressin' and yes indeed, you know I'll never leave
If you close your eyes that hydrant is a beach
That siren is a breeze, that fire escape's a leaf on a palm tree!
[CARLA/DANIELA/NINA/CAMILA/
We're home!
Abuela I'm sorry
But I ain't goin' back because I'm telling your story
And I can say goodbye to you smilin', I found my island
I been on it this whole time
I'm home!
We're home!
The hydrants are open
Cool breezes blow!
It's a wonderful life that I've know
"Merry Christmas you ole' Building and Loan!"
I'm home!
We're home!
The hydrants are open
Cool breezes blow!
Abuela that ain't a stoop, that's your throne
Long after ya birds have all flown
I'm home!
Where the coffee's non-stop
And I drop this hip-hop
In my mom and pop shop
I'm home!
Where people come
People go
Let me show all of these
People what I know
There's no place like home!
And let me set the record straight!
I'm steppin' to Vanessa
I'm gettin' a second date
I'm home!
Where it's a hundred in the shade
But with patience and faith
We remain unafraid
I'm home!
You hear that music in the air?
Take the train to the top of the world
And I'm there
I'm home!
We're home
We're home
We're home
Home
We're home
Home
Home
Home!
Home!
Ohhh thanks, yessss I want the lyrics

2:03 - 2:27 my favorite part
So here Usnavi stays thanks to inspiration from Vanessa and her discovery of Pete's genius leading to Pete's Beach. In the musical Usnavi was ONLY inspired to stay by Pete's portrait of abuela.
The real Dominican Republic was inside us all along
love from Indonesia 😍😍😍
