Broadway Beat strikes again

[queenhermionelambert-blog]

Okay, Spring Awakening fans, I have a serious question for y'all.

In the beginning of "The B*tch of Living," Moritz sings about seeing an angel in a dream. So, the question is, who do y'all think the angel is?

There’s SO much symbolism in the show. I think one of the most heartbreaking things is that Moritz took his father’s gun. The gun his father was cleaning when Moritz told him he failed. And honestly, Moritz could’ve chosen so many other ways to end his life, but I feel like he chose his father’s gun for a reason. Yes, one could argue it’s spur of the moment, because it’s the first thing he sees after his dad storms out. But I feel like the urge for that gun specifically was huge.

Moritz thinks he’s failed everyone around him: the teachers since he couldn’t learn, his classmates because he holds the class up, Melchior (and Frau Gabor, but mainly Melchior) because he just weighs his intelligent friend down. But most importantly, his parents were the final shove. Moritz could care less about his grades—he’s accepted the fact he can’t learn. But his parents, they’re so disgusted with him, so disappointed, they can’t handle him. And that’s the final shove. His dad asking how they can show their faces, Moritz probably applies that to everyone he’s close to. How can they let their names be associated with such a failure?

He takes his father’s gun to end his life, and it honestly just adds more into the thought as to if he lived in an abusive household. Obviously he didn’t have the support from his parents, but Moritz was barely shocked when Herr Stiefel hit him. So if his father were physically abusive at times, and Moritz was running away from it all because he couldn’t deal with letting others be tainted by association, then the gun adds another sad element: Moritz thought his father would be the one who would end his life.

I mean it’s a stretch, but it does make it a lot more upsetting. And even if it wasn’t that exact thought, the gun still belonged to the man who brought the most pain into Moritz’s life, and it still belonged to the man who gave the final push.

Though it’s not really a stretch because little details hold so much information?

And, yes, Moritz had signed something like “Father, please!” (can’t remember exacts right now but it was similar to that) however that was really the only protest. So it kinda made me think that maybe Moritz was scared that once his father came back, after his mom was told he failed, the punishment would be worse. So Moritz’s brain was just runrunrunrunrun because he couldn’t do it any longer.

People abused the right to use YouTube’s Community Captions

They used it as a way to add spam, memes, & other things no one said in the video.

Because of these people YouTube has decided to remove the option all together.

Over 130 fans of ‘Spring Awakening’ worked together using Community Captions to caption over 400 Deaf West’s Spring Awakening videos. 

List of captioned DWSA videos: [X]

People all around the world worked together to make the videos accessible for EVERYONE. Not just for Deaf & Hard of Hearing people, but also people with sensory processing disorders, and people who's language is not the same as the video.

Most the time a video is ONLY captioned because of Community Captions.

With the removal of this feature, billions of videos will not be accessible for ALL people. 

Sign the petition to tell @YouTube not to remove Community Captions.
