[@rawr1131]

To be honest, Miguel was the only one who knew Connor, like actually knew him. Even his family thought he was just this ball of rage. That's fair, but if you read the novel and take the time to assess Connor's actions, you start to realize that he only really lashed out in defense (i.e he shoves Evan because he feels attacked but then in the book, Evan mentions he looks shaken up). Except for the whole thing with Zoe (although we don't know how many times it was or the circumstances behind it. Personally, I think he had some sort of breakdown where he lost control cause it doesn't match up with his normal behavior which is to lash out in defense and run away). But the point is, behind the mask of anger that everyone saw was a person who no one but Miguel really knew.

It sounds so wholesome out of context and your animatic reflects that with that viewing in mind, but the subtle flickering of Conner and how Evan and Jared act before getting into it reflects the contextual horror of it all. Especially when you get to "re-in-ven-TION!" They're reinventing Connor's memory and putting words in his mouth. There's a line in the musical that was cut from the movie where Jared says about how Connor loved trees, and then was like "oh no, wait Evan, YOU loved trees". That line just cuts through all the bullshit and I love it

[@freeraccoons]

@@sarahriddle2241 Ok first of all, Sincerely Me is not shipping and trashtalking the dead. Its showing that what Evan and Jareds perspective of Connor is, is completely different than everyone elses. It shows that everyone saw that person differently and until Miguel, nobody actually knew the real Connor. And as upbeat as the song is its very sad, because deep down, we know that Connor was not like that, and that he’s gone. So before you post your hate comment, how about you actually take the time to analyze the song, because it actually gives a very deep message.

As someone who has never watched Dear Evan Hansen, I can confirm that this song sounded perfectly wholesome until I read the comments.

I listened to this song, and others from the musical, without really knowing the plot. I was so confused trying to piece things together. Like I was thinking this was some wholesome buddies and one of them died with Evan trying to keep his memory alive. But I was so confused on “If I could tell her” since I couldn’t figure out how that fit into this. I then fully learned the plot and Jesus Christ. One of the main characters, Connor, is actually in the play for like 20 minutes and then everything else is just Evan puppeting the spirit.

Evan deserves so much better. He described Connor as the best friend he always wanted, but was too anxious and nervous to talk to anybody.
