So many people say “musicals don’t adapt well on screen” that’s NOT true! The problem is the directors they pick. The hired director that dorn know anything about musicals like the director of the film adaptation of dear Evan Hansen. Lin understand what makes theatre magical and how to translate that! You have to hire directors like Lin who love theatre!

[@linndylau]

That is something so special about Lin-Manuel Miranda, he's always surrounded by other talented people, he knows he can't do everything alone, so why not reclute a group of people that are incredible in what they are and share knowledge and talent 🥺 so humble and clever ✨

[@miss1of2]

@@linndylau I feel like that is a very theatre mindset.... I don't have much experience like AT all.... Did drama in highschool and studied in theatre for my first year in College but the fact that theatre is a communal art form and that the talent of everyone is required was impressed upon us in pretty much everything class one way or an other....

[@linndylau]

@@miss1of2 I agree 👌 theatre is a great example for the quote "we rise by lifting others"

[@reneebush2399]

Agreed. That is also something that Thomas Kail really excels at, so it makes sense for Lin to approach directing in that manner as well.

[@ElizaHamilton1780]

I feel like his attitude toward the folks he works with draws on a few things: -he was a substitute teacher, once upon a time -he’s been an actor, so he knows how to talk to his fellow actors and work with them -his curiosity about the world These three things, at least, are why he’s an awesome director. And if he keeps making movies, he’s going to keep being awesome.

Mr. Miranda, I want to thank you for several things. I am in my 80's, and I heard of the show, Rent but never desired to see it. Now I watch all the KZbin presentations, old and new, I can find. I never knew who Jonathan Larson was, and through your outstanding direction and Andrew's acting, you have brought him to life for me. Another Thank you is that I always liked Andrew Garfield and thought he was a good actor, but you got out of him his true greatness. I could go on and on, but I want to say that you were one of the few directors who made a great stage to film musical. I will never get to see Hamilton, and I regret that. I would like to experience your genius in person rather than just read about it. Finally, I had to watch Tick...tick boom over and over. It was so well done. Too many of your directorial insights are missed in one or two viewings and Andrew's talent, and all the cast's outstanding performances. Thank you, Mr. Miranda. Tom

[@SallyWallach]

Tom, it's not in person, but there is a film of the original Broadway cast performing Hamilton on stage. It is beautifully done, and is available on Disney plus. If you watch it, the perfection might make you cry. This old lady gets tears in her eyes every time.

[@Emily-gx6dd]

Agreed, the version on Disney+ (Disney Plus) is so beautifully filmed and the sound quality os amazing, and you can rewind it, for when you miss the words (they’re fast). :) Additionally, the soundtrack is amazing because he musical is essentially an opera, so it’s lovely to just listen to, also

[@dublin7]

Andrews long pause before saying he will be turning 30 years old is so perfect. Every person whether they want to admit it or not, feel like they have accomplished nothing before they are 30 and that pause perfectly encapsulated the existential dread that we all fear, the fear of the unknown and seeing people like lin and Jonathan shows that a never give up mentality and striving for your dreams will carry you on to what can be your calling and what gives you true meaning when it comes to your profession

[@manuelorozco7760]

"This is not one of those biopics where you see the Mozart writing his masterpiece. This is a movie about failure and getting back up. And his masterpiece is ahead of him. And it's hopeful because maybe so as yours." This made me cry again😭 (not that I didn't cry enough watching the movie!) This is my number one movie now. Well done, Lin❤️

[@AndyBomb]

Tick Tick Boom is honestly perfect. You have the film directed by a super genius in our time, the songs and story written by a super genius from the 90s, and a lead with immeasurable acting ability

[@audreywarren17]

People shit on Lin all the time, but the reality is he is a one of a kind. His mind is absolutely incredible. There is something to be said about being able to bring stage to screen in a way that is appealing and engaging to an audience. And for Lin to do it in the way he did on his directorial debut is incredible. If this movie doesn’t get any nominations I’m going to be very surprised

[@ludonymous526]

LMM is not just a genius. He's a visionary.

[@jj_zeroshiki]

1:37 "I think it's important to go personal" This reminds me of the scene with Jonathan and his agent in which she tells him that he should write about something "he knows" for his next musical(s), which just happens to be Tick Tick Boom and Rent. It would've been cool to see Superbia onstage, but without the former two, we wouldn't have been able to know about the talent of Jonathan Larson.

[@AstroMoonGoddess]

The cameos in the film were amazing! I cried so hard during this film. Rent is a very important musical to me and it got me through my rough years in high school. RIP Jonathan Larson. 💚😭

[@ludonymous526]

He died of an aortic dissection, the same fate that unfortunately claimed Kentaro Miura's life. And also, rest in peace to Stephen Sondheim.

I love how much Netflix is promoting this film. It's almost like they know they have an awards contender on their hands.

[@guitaraobscura8802]

The Superbia songs were some of the best in the film, I wish Sextet was on the soundtrack

[@FlusteredBushStudios]

[@larasampaio3947]

I just love how Lin makes us feel so close to him. Usually filmmakers have these prepared answers, and kind of "scripts" of what is challenging, but Lin no. His speech feels so real and authentic. More than that, the way he shows his vulnerability it's what makes me sympathise the most.

[@bubzy3d50]

Please Netflix, I want more of this, seeing filmmakers get to talk about their creative process is so intriguing and inspiring, I love it

Lin Manuel-Miranda remains a constant source of inspiration for me at this point, his brain is so full of ideas that seem impossible to begin with yet he pulls it off so brilliantly.

[@manuelorozco7760]

Mr Sondheim Look I Made A Hat When There Never Was A Hat

[@j.peters123]

"What cool things don't I know you can do?" - Definitely adding that to my director's toolbox. Lin should be very, very proud of his directorial debut. Honestly don't believe any other person could have made this film. I feel like the big issue with a lot of movie musicals that miss the mark or just don't work, is that they aren't being made by the people who know the ins and outs of Musicals both stage and screen (also film studio executives and producers can obviously play a big part in tampering with the film). Cannot wait to see more from Lin-Manuel Miranda's filmmaking.

[@manuelorozco7760]

I’m not often drawn to film adaptations. Before the Prom, Mama Mia was the last one I saw. Then In the Heights, West Side Story and now Tick Tick Boom

[@alexanderlawson3898]

Andrew Garfield has become my favorite actor. Talk about passion for his craft - he learned to professionally sing and play piano for this part - over a year and a half of training for this project. And he absolutely nailed it!

[@gordongraham7]

This movie is superb and I want LMM to be my best friend. He seems like such a humble and authentic person. The world needs more people like him.

[@ren9027]

this movie was absolutely beautiful.

[@cataciudad9938]

Songs they took out of the musical: Green Green Dress, Sugar, See Her Smile. Songs added from the rock monologue: Boho Days, Swimming. Superbia songs: The one the cast sings at the workshop, the one he performs in front of Sondheim and the other writer.

[@BuzzardPlanet97]

Hard to believe this was his first time directing, it was a really good movie

[@jesileigh]

I was nervous when I first heard they were making TTB into a film but once I heard it was in Lin's hands? I knew it was going to be perfect. And it absolutely was. Nobody could have done it justice like he did. And the casting was the cherry on top. Jonathan Larson would be over the moon at how it turned out, in my opinion.

[@Senkuda]

I would like to hear Andrew's singing before and after vocal coaching.

[@ElizaHamilton1780]

Omg…. So Andrew started to look frantic/overworked like Jon about six minutes into this video. How crazy were things getting by that point? 😬 Also: I think I want Lin-Manuel Miranda to try his hand at “Superbia,” too. I’ve read that there are how many different drafts of the show and nobody else has been compile the material in those drafts into something that can be produced onstage or in an animated feature. But judging by this video, I think LMM has the chops to figure out how to hammer out a script or screenplay that will work.

I'm working as a musician and a stage technician pretty much since I left school and as everyone can imagine, covid wasn't very grateful to my trade, but this movie really came out at the exact right time, at least in my life. It blew me away as an artist and as a person. The last two years of spending at home and not being able to work and just feeling that my youth and my Chance to really make a Career out of my craft made me rely to this film so much, i still can't watch it without shedding a tear at least once, and I watched it way too often since it's release. It's so inspiring and it really changed me and how I'm gonna spend my time on this planet, so thank you Lin-Manuel Miranda for this incredible movie, thank you Andrew Garfield for this very special Performance and especially, thank you Jonathan Larson for this Magnificent pieces of art that you created, even if you, sadly, will never know how many people you still inspire up to this day.
