"Hamilton"

One thing that stands out in my minds eye regarding "Hamilton" is that I
was reminded how much I hate idle talk. This is not to say that I hated the
film. The new twist on this idea is that sometimes the lack of idle talk
only leads to idle time. Its the whole idea of time that is shaping this
thought I believe.
Sure sometimes the acting may lead us out of the moment, but it may just be
the extended time without verbal communication that gives our minds time to
scrutinize said acting? All these people walking around with ipods, thinking
about talking or talking without thinking. Who could ask every walking
Holster billboard to pay attention to the people not saying anything on
screen instead of their hair? Not me. But Ive had this wicked pain in neck
for two weeks now so I may just be short on a nerve.
In moments like in this film, I remember what some actor (cant remember
who) said was one of the most over looked concepts in acting. He said
something about how he tries to retrace the mental thoughts that would lead
a character to the next line of dialogue. Kind of reliving the scene from in
the brain out. That idea may be best used in extended time scenes like the
ones in "Hamilton". But something tells me people were not doing that here.
The use of time is done well for the most part, but I think Im with Dan on
this one. The tempo of the masses must be controlled! (just kidding) Some
scenes could have used something more or just ran for less.
