Watching I Made America after having recently seen Hamilton live in west end.....i have incoherent Thoughts (incoming rambling)

In so many ways Hamilton could be considered the perfect musical but a TERRIBLY flawed historical adaptation. Meanwhile IMA has the opposite problem, it's not as flashy or polished as Hamilton but i think it works better as a historical adaptation. Right now for me this discrepancy is....quite hard to explain. I have a Hamilton analysis in the works (no idea when, or whether i'll get it finished). Maybe Hamilton was too ambitious, maybe the sillier concept of IMA made it inherently easier for the writers to adapt the historical aspects, maybe it's that Hamilton had a set of ideals it was trying to push which directly contradicted its purpose of existing in the first place (not elaborating on that but if you know YOU KNOW). Idk man.

But something about IMA felt different. Something about Alexander Hamilton's rant in the episode People Hate Bastards really struck a chord with me and made me understand the man better than Hamilton the musical ever could, even though the latter literally covers his entire life story. It's truly fascinating.

Funnily enough i've observed historical adaptations that "try less" to be faithful end up being better at adapting the source material. Classic example of this is Blood Bloody Andrew Jackson. Historical accuracy is NON EXISTENT in that musical but look at that!!! It provides a hard hitting depiction of Andrew Jackson which both perfectly shows how much of a POS he was while also getting the audience to care about him!!!!! It's crazy to me!!!!!

Honestly this is such a fascinating recent social phenomenon and i think it should be studied more

Last night i had a vivid dream where i was staying at this history themed hotel in japan and i picked the martin van buren themed room! The room however was barely martin van buren themed and only had like 2 framed photos of him on the wall. Needless to say i was disappointed

#virathoughts #martin van buren #also the dream involved the japanese government intentionally creating deadly acid rain to eradicate its own population #but thats a story for another day
