和大悲一样都是看几遍哭几遍的作品。用 Hip Hop 讲述建国大业的故事,让少数族裔阵容演绎 founding fathers,在五年前已经是石破天惊了。但最最打动人的原因还是主导动机的写法,下半场各个人物的动机重复出现,提升了悲剧意味与宿命感,如同一把把刀子戳进心里。关于 history narrative 的探讨也是足够有力量的。
Every other founding father story gets told, every other founding father gets to grow old. And when you gone, who remembers your name? Who keep your flame, who tells your story?
