He was very lucky 213 00:10:22,355 --> 00:10:26,794 to have several people who were his supporters, 214 00:10:26,827 --> 00:10:29,730 The booster and that's the way He ends up in New York. 215 00:10:29,763 --> 00:10:33,066 As a young man he knows poverty. He has seen it. 216 00:10:33,100 --> 00:10:36,970 He has experienced it. < 217 00:10:37,805 --> 00:10:39,707 Hamilton's early life lasted 218 00:10:39,740 --> 00:10:42,976 during the most critical period in American history 219 00:10:43,010 --> 00:10:46,847 Revolutionary War broke out 220 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,882 br /> While he is still a student, 221 00:10:48,916 --> 00:10:51,218 and young Hamilton take full part 222 00:10:51,251 --> 00:10:54,321 in political turbulence from time, 223 00:10:54,354 --> 00:10:57,057 goes up become one of the most important figures 224 00:10:57,000 --> 00:01:09,827 at birth American Independence. 225 00:10:59,860 --> 00:11:01,729 Alexander Hamilton starts writing 226 00:11:01,762 --> 00:11:03,997 for support revolution 227 00:11:04,031 --> 00:11:07,067 when is he fair a young student 228 00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:10,738 He is very active in the military, 229 00:11:10,771 --> 00:11:13,073 He is in constitutional convention. 230 00:11:13,106 --> 00:11:15,175 He is instrumental 231 00:11:15,208 --> 00:11:19,179 getting New York to ratify the constitution. 232 00:11:19,212 --> 00:11:23,050 Then, he become the first finance minister, 233 00:11:23,083 --> 00:11:27,187 put the United States in a truly healthy financial footing 234 00:11:27,220 --> 00:11:29,289 He has a vision for America 235 00:11:29,322 --> 00:11:33,060 It was one of the industries military strength and strength 236 00:11:33,093 --> 00:11:35,028 That was a huge contrast 237 00:11:35,062 --> 00:11:36,329 for some from other founding founders 238 00:11:36,363 --> 00:11:38,131 like Jefferson and Madison, 239 00:11:38,165 --> 00:11:40,734 who saw us as an agrarian society 240 00:11:40,768 --> 00:11:43,003 with a large middle class 241 00:11:43,036 --> 00:11:46,173 and only suburban elements in upper and lower classes. 242 00:11:46,206 --> 00:11:49,843 The fact that this is indeed the case whose vision won 243 00:11:49,877 --> 00:11:51,812 will anyone see today 244 00:11:51,845 --> 00:11:54,948 it refers to what some might consider 245 00:11:54,982 --> 00:11:58,318 America's greatness, is it really or not 246 00:11:58,351 --> 00:12:00,287 So I suggest That's its meaning. 247 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,290 The financial institutions and the economy we have 248 00:12:03,323 --> 00:12:07,160 are all based on the principles, and really they are themselves. 249 00:12:07,861 --> 00:12:11,131 Alexander Hamilton is a true capitalist, 250 00:12:11,164 --> 00:12:13,934 a true capitalist who believes 251 00:12:13,967 --> 00:12:17,104 that's free trade the best for this country, 252 00:12:17,137 --> 00:12:19,439 the best for traders in the end, 253 00:12:19,472 --> 00:12:22,142 and the best for customers in the end. 254 00:12:22,175 --> 00:12:23,944 This will reduce prices, 255 00:12:23,977 --> 00:12:25,846 it will produce a better product 256 00:12:25,879 --> 00:12:27,314 at the same time 257 00:12:27,347 --> 00:12:30,750 he will not recognize the system we have now 258 00:12:31,184 --> 00:12:33,320 He certainly isn't a supporter 259 00:12:33,353 --> 00:12:36,957 government support ordinary people. 260 00:12:37,925 --> 00:12:40,493 But no In the 18th century. 261 00:12:40,527 --> 00:12:43,797 Inspired by Ron Chernow's Biography, 262 00:12:43,831 --> 00:12:45,498 Miranda starts to write material 263 00:12:45,532 --> 00:12:47,100 around Hamilton live 264 00:12:47,134 --> 00:12:50,270 which will eventually form the basis of a show 265 00:12:50,303 --> 00:12:52,472 He called it "Hamilton Mixtape". 266 00:12:52,505 --> 00:12:57,845 He has everything in his life that makes for a big story, 267 00:12:57,878 --> 00:13:00,247 that makes good music 268 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,449 and in many ways this might be surprising 269 00:13:02,482 --> 00:13:05,018 needed until the 21st century 270 00:13:05,052 --> 00:13:06,820 that we have based games 271 00:13:06,854 --> 00:13:08,822 on the life of from Alexander Hamilton, 272 00:13:08,856 --> 00:13:11,591 I think this is rather surprising what Lin-Manuel decided 273 00:13:11,624 --> 00:13:13,193 to do the whole music 274 00:13:13,226 --> 00:13:15,228 based on life from Alexander Hamilton, 275 00:13:15,262 --> 00:13:18,431 especially after finishing "On the Highlands" before. 276 00:13:18,465 --> 00:13:20,433 I don't know if you read 277 00:13:20,467 --> 00:13:21,969 biography from Alexander Hamilton and thought, 278 00:13:22,002 --> 00:13:25,138 "Wow, this will happen Very good hip-hop music." 279 00:13:25,172 --> 00:13:27,140 This is a strange choice from source material 280 00:13:27,174 --> 00:13:31,879 but at the same time it's clear that Lin-Manuel looks at the elements 281 00:13:31,912 --> 00:13:34,514 in biography Alexander Hamilton 282 00:13:34,547 --> 00:13:37,217 that he can use to make 283 00:13:37,250 --> 00:13:39,319 stories about nature of American characters 284 00:13:39,352 --> 00:13:42,122 and American dreams that he wants to say. 285 00:13:42,155 --> 00:13:47,160 Apa Lin-Manuel seems to focus < br /> through hip-hop, of course, 286 00:13:47,194 --> 00:13:50,197 is the story of a man who made himself, 287 00:13:50,230 --> 00:13:52,065 someone young and hungry actually - 288 00:13:52,099 --> 00:13:54,134 that's one of the main lyrics - 289 00:13:54,167 --> 00:13:57,337 and come to the United States to start a new life 290 00:13:57,370 --> 00:14:00,007 and finally rise to heights 291 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,175 he alone can never be able to guess 292 00:14:02,209 --> 00:14:08,215 That's the impact of aspiration and the urge to play. 293 00:14:08,248 --> 00:14:10,350 Lin-Manuel the vision for "Hamilton" 294 00:14:10,383 --> 00:14:11,885 is to tell the story 295 00:14:11,919 --> 00:14:14,054 from a founder via hip-hop 296 00:14:14,087 --> 00:14:17,557 That is a radical idea, matching historical narrative 297 00:14:17,590 --> 00:14:20,527 with ethically diverse players and music rap. 298 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,430 And that will be something really new for Broadway, 299 00:14:23,463 --> 00:14:26,900 which in 2008, ready to shake-up. 300 00:14:26,934 --> 00:14:28,969 Broadway managed to get past it a difficult time 301 00:14:29,002 --> 00:14:30,904 in the late 60s and into the 70s. 302 00:14:30,938 --> 00:14:32,906 New York City was bankrupt 303 00:14:32,940 --> 00:14:34,507 Times Square is dangerous. 304 00:14:34,541 --> 00:14:36,509 There is no such thing as "Lion King" 305 00:14:36,543 --> 00:14:38,912 or family shows in 1975. 306 00:14:38,946 --> 00:14:42,615 And like many other businesses in New York City at that time, 307 00:14:42,649 --> 00:14:44,417 Broadway can't go New York. 308 00:14:45,185 --> 00:14:47,554 Where will Broadway go? New Jersey?
