The creator of “Hamilton” and the director of “Crazy Rich Asians” invite you to a cinematic event, where the streets are made of music and little dreams become big... “In the Heights.”
Lights up on Washington Heights...The scent of a cafecito caliente hangs in the air just outside of the 181st Street subway stop, where a kaleidoscope of dreams rallies this vibrant and tight-knit community. At the intersection of it all is the likeable, magnetic bodega owner Usnavi (Anthony Ramos), who saves every penny from his daily grind as he hopes, imagines and sings about a better life.
“In the Heights” fuses Lin-Manuel Miranda’s kinetic music and lyrics with director Jon M. Chu’s lively and authentic eye for storytelling to capture a world very much of its place, but universal in its experience.
“In the Heights” stars Anthony Ramos (“A Star is Born,” Broadway’s “Hamilton”), Corey Hawkins (“Straight Outta Compton,” “BlacKkKlansman”), singer/songwriter Leslie Grace, Melissa Barrera (TV’s “Vida”), Olga Merediz (Broadway’s “In the Heights”), Daphne Rubin-Vega (Broadway’s “Rent”), Gregory Diaz IV (Broadway’s “Matilda the Musical”), Stephanie Beatriz (TV’s “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”), Dascha Polanco (TV’s “Orange is the New Black”) and Jimmy Smits (the “Star Wars” films).
Chu directed the film from a screenplay by Quiara Alegría Hudes, based on the musical stage play, music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, book by Quiara Alegría Hudes and concept by Miranda. Miranda, Hudes, Scott Sanders, Anthony Bregman and Mara Jacobs produced the film, with David Nicksay and Kevin McCormick serving as executive producers.
Behind the camera, Chu reunited with his “Crazy Rich Asians” production designer, Nelson Coates, and editor, Myron Kerstein. He also collaborated with director of photography Alice Brooks (TV’s “The Walking Dead”) and costume designer Mitchell Travers (“Eighth Grade”). Original songs by Miranda. Alex Lacamoire (“Fosse/Verdon”) and Bill Sherman (“Sesame Street”) served as executive music producers. The choreography is by Christopher Scott, who previously teamed with Chu on the award-winning “The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers.”
“In the Heights” was filmed in New York, primarily on location in the dynamic community of Washington Heights.
Warner Bros. Pictures presents a 5000 Broadway / Barrio Grrrl! / Likely Story / SGS Pictures Production, A Jon M. Chu Film, “In the Heights.” Slated to open on June 10, 2021 in theaters and on HBO Max, the film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures. It will be available on HBO Max for 31 days from theatrical release.
“In the Heights” is rated PG-13 for some language and suggestive references.

Fun Fact : Most of the background dancers in the movie are the actual dancers from the original broadway show. This is a smart move when adapting musicals to a movie. Have EVERYONE in the original Broadway show to be involved in the movie!!
i know a few of them even were in a local production of in the heights in my city like they really took attention to detail
Fun fact I don't have a mustache also fun fact I have a Australian wife
@@lawrup Fun Fact : I don't care, keep that "fun Fact" to yourself and that has nothing to do with the movie 😂
Smart.
why do i feel like this is throwing shade at the prom movie shdhfsdhfhsh
Is this what it's like to watch a movie musical where people have been cast based on their triple-threat talents and not just on how famous they are? It's beautiful.
It’s a brilliant political message about “the dreamers” and mass US border crossings going on right now! 🏃🏿♂️🏃🏿♂️👏🏽👦🏽 🏃🏿♂️🤱🏾🏃🏿♂️YOUR DREAMS ARE OURS!🤩. A lot of big 💰💰💰 and behind the message.
Yes! I loved loved that there were no huge mega celebrities forced in because of star power. Everyone was part of the cast because they 100% deserved to be there and you can tell from their performances and interviews how much it means to them. Beautiful to see.
Seriously! I forget what genuine talent looks like sometimes
You'd love The Producers then, if you haven't seen it! Most of the cast had experience on Broadway, including Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane who were in the show!

This movie was magical. Talking to my girlfriend afterwards about why it was so impactful made me realize that it’s one of the first times I can remember seeing this many black and brown people on screen for a solid two and a half hours where not a single storyline had to do with crime, prison, slavery, drug use, gangs, or segregation. No mention of any sort of criminal activity. No equating darker skin with malice or mischief. Just hardworking people of color trying to do their best to live their dreams. Revolutionary.
You are absolutely right! I loved this movie!! ❤️
Yes I felt the same way! I loved the movie
I totally agree, very relatable to our communities, however people still find something wrong with it, now they are complaining there were not enough black latinos represented, man! is impossible to keep people happy or at least satisfied
I didnt see anyone that looked like YOU sister. Brown to black skin.. 4C african textured hair
@@GSthe3rd So, because I’m black, I can’t be happy to see other people of color celebrated? It wasn’t my culture either, but that didn’t make me love it any less.
I worked as an extra during this opening scene and I was so happy to be booked to work it.
Congratulations
Congratulations
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
Ok
Fun fact: Lin dressed like his grandfather when he was playing piragua guy!
Another fun fact: The movie was in danger of not being produced because Lin pulled the deal for The Weinstein Company for obvious reasons. To persuade Lin and Jon M. Chu, Warner Bros took one of their backlots and turned it into a barrio with a working piragua cart giving out the tasty treat. It was shown as a presentation to Lin and he accepted the deal.
IKKKK ITS SO CUTE
i knew this
He does dress like my friends Puerto Rican grandpa XD

I'm a Dominican person who spent so much of his life in Washington Heights and the DR -- now living in Brooklyn -- and this had me bawling.

Imagine in rise of the beats, when Anthony's character meets the autobots, he just goes "ayo, good morning".
At this rate, Lin is going to show us the whole movie
please
Why not
I really hope he actually does 😂
It’s only 8 mins of a 2 hour movie. He is only showing the first song entitled in the heights
@@TravelwithTasha393 Yes but he has showed us other slight moments from the trailers. However you're right 🤣
I'll always love Lin Manuel Miranda as Usnavi but Anthony Ramos managed to live up the spirit and energy of Lin's Usnavi!! Looks like Lin is passing the torch to Ramos!!
YES!!
@@piaest.6456 He makes cameo at 00:45
Plus, Anthony had already played Usnavy on Broadway. After Lin, I think. So who better than Anthony Ramos to make the movie? 😉
Lin on Anthony: Look at my son, pride is not the word I'm looking for...Wait, wrong musical :)
Father like son
I'm watching this for the 164th time right now.
wish I could see how many times ive seen this video hahaha
I'm going to see it for the second time tomorrow
Same XD

I am Latino and for some reason, the only thing that had me tearing up more than Paciencia y Fé was seeing Carnaval del Barrio. Seeing all those people just being so proud of their country and their “beautiful flag” made me so emotional I didn’t know what else to do but cry with a pride of my own home country.
Anyone else feel this way?
PS: Viva Colombia!! 🇨🇴
💛💛💙❤️
i love colombia too
¡Viva Colombia!
I understand you perfectly, that feeling of belonging in a place where you are excluded by your country. Hugs from Brasil! 🇧🇷♥️✨
When Lin says "Como siempre, Señor Usnavi" at 0:50 it's as if he's passing the torch over to Anthony to take his place in the role... ugh I'm emotional
Awe...okay you made me tear up. I didn't know who Anthony was before this film, as I never saw Hamilton. I wish him luck, he's going to be a big star.
@@blueelf217 Anthony was John Laurens and Phillip Hamilton in Hamilton.
So sweet! Anthony played Usnavi at john f Kennedy Center** I think. Years ago.
Time stamp?
OMG I thought this too! 🥺❤️
This. This right here.
This is art.
I hope every single person involved, from the lead actors, to the costume designers, to the dancers in the far far back know how important they are in bringing Washington Heights come to life this way.
This will live on.

This movie was actually amazing. I grew up in Washington Heights and they filmed at my childhood pool. Some of the background dancers are people from our actual block. The memories this musical brought make made me have so much nostalgia. They captured our WH perfectly.
That pool was epic, i specifically commented on it to my roomie. Was it actually that big or extended for the scene?
It's heartwarming to see that Anthony Ramos is continuing Lin-Manuel Miranda's legacy...

Hey y'all, good morning
I have a 8 month old baby. Tonight me and my husband went to our first movie night after the baby because I HAD TO WATCH THIS MOVIE IN THE THEATER, and it was so worth it!! 2007, I came to US as a international student from Korea, my first spring break I visited NY. I watched this musical by accident (My friend and I wanted to see Lion King but it was too expensive and sold out) and it became MY LIFE MUSICAL!!! Even though I didn’t understand what the actors saying due to my poor Eng then, I became a big fan. And 13 years later, the movie came out, for 2hr 23min my heart was overflowing and full with joy and tears. This time I understood most of the words and lyrics and realized it's not just about music, dance and love stories. It's about the immigrants who works so hard for their dream, but still discriminated against. It's such a story like my husband's parents and himself had been through. I raise my thumbs up with Respect to all the immigrants especially Latinos. I hope that many people will watch this movie and will have a same heart as I do. Rise Up, Voice Up! Since when are we scared of heat?? 🙌🇩🇴🇨🇺🇵🇷🇰🇷
this movie is truly beautiful and this story you gave to us is beautiful as well
❤❤❤❤
God bless you and your family and community! Question, do you live in the US now or no?
beautiful 😍👏🏻
Beautiful story! I love how so many people are connected to In the Heights, congrats on your baby btw when they grow up you can def show them the musical and both bond together ❤
“I can’t survive without cafe”. That’s universal across all Latinos. As a flight attendant my white coworkers freak out when they see little kids drinking coffee. I just laugh. Don’t freak. Café con leche and tostada is just our version of cereal or eggs.
True but coffee is technically a drug lol

Finally a movie musical that isn’t a COWARD about its musicalness. I expect this to be a good movie
It's amazing
really amazing
@Q think of les mis, cats, etc. musical movies which suffered as movies because they were made by people who didnt understand musicals. but now tom hooper's reign of gritty cry-speak-singing is over and this movie is letting itself be a M U S I C A L
@Q i would argue against a couple of those, but fine ok i will confess to exaggerating the scope of bad musical mvoies, what's my sentence your internet honour
So goood
Honestly spent the whole movie crying. My mom works as a house keeper/handy man so when *spoiler alert?* abuela talks about how her mom’s hands were burned from the chemicals I understood what she meant. It’s small details that hit hard.
WOW
same. still do. many of these stories are similar to mine...
ofc i see the spoiler alert and keep reading
I work for a family cleaning and watching their children. Most of my jobs have been cleaning or doing yard work, things tough on your hands. I love to paint my nails but they never last more than a day. One day, I want to be able to afford a manicure, but even if I had the money or time it'd just go to waste. My hands have scars, calluses, they get dry and cracked, but I still paint them. Even days I clean, I wear comfy clothes I genuinely like and think make me look good. I wear lipstick. I heard that line about asserting your dignity in small ways and my heart just ached.

I saw this in theaters two days ago and I’m honestly still in shock. Seeing latino and Hispanic culture on screen is something I’m definitely not used to, and it managed to address a lot more than i expected, like the pressure of being the first in a family to go to college, money problems, being undocumented and having unconventional dreams. I did have to translate some background Spanish for a friend though lol

Just seen it.
This was hands down the best movie adaptation of a broadway show ever adapted.
Couldn’t agree more
Damn right, I love Mamma Mia movies, The Prom, Chicago, and West Side Story but this movie tops all of them
Better than Hamilton?
@@rachell452 I have to say yes, as the Hamilton movie was just a high quality screen play of the musical itself. I still absolutely love it, but this one is just more movie style for me. Though Dear Evan Hansen might swoop in to steal that best spot in my mind
For real, if any company want to adapt a musical into a movie, they should try and let the original songs maker be apart of the production.
I'm completely struck by how the director is the same as the one from Crazy Rich Asians. He should only make movie musicals from now on because there is comparatively so much more energy here.
imo both movies had tons of energy! just different focuses. the director is really skilled at integrating and representing each movie's respective culture.
He also did the step up movies so that explains all the big choreography
I heard he's also working on the Wicked movie!
Well Crazy Rich Asians isn’t a musical so why would it have the same energy? Both movies are very well directed. And it’s good to have variety under your belt as a director.
@@jeanneseo cool! I hope it comes out well
I hope Lin knows how proud I am of everything he's done.

We must protect Lin Manuel Miranda at all cost. He's a legend already!!! I wish for Lin to get an Oscar for Best Picture as produced this movie
@@4deleDaz33m same✨👏🏽
Same😭😭
@Deena Dallas From what I heard, Lin wrote new song specifically for this movie. So there is a chance he might be nominated for Best Picture and Best Original Song and could win either of the nomination
Never knew an 8-minute clip would cause intense goosebumps. I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THIS FILM.
I know right!!! The WHOLE movie will be EPIC!!!
It’s also an EPIC way for a political party to use the “dreamers” to appeal to emotions of gen-XYZers. Billionaire funders behind this effort, hope gen-XYZ-ers will identify w/ the shows “dreamers”. Absolutely genius marketing! They can trigger this emotional response during media campaigns.
I always love the implication of the line “with Sonny writing checks to me.” Because it’s Usnavi saying he’ll be such an important figure that even his little cousin will write him checks but also implies that Sonny would be successful enough to be paying someone else’s paycheck.
Also with Sonny being undocumented in this version, him even being able to legally write and use a check would be an accomplishment in of itself.
Usnavi, do not throw away your shot.
idk, I’d argue he’d be the type to blow us all away
@Angelina Dallas sell drugs to an undercover cop apparently
I actually started singing My Shot first time I watched because of the instrumental at 7:03
To all the Broadway fans tearing up watching this, I'm with you.
Right here waiting for the movie sobbing a lot 🤣🤧✨💕
I started crying when abuela appeared
"tearing" lmao I am absolutely BAWLING
The nostalgia
This is so emotional for me. As a kid growing up not far in the Bronx I was taught that there was nothing special about my community, my heritage, or my family’s native language. And I grew to resent those things that made me “different” from other kids. Being able to see these bodegas, our culture, the streets not just represented but CELEBRATED makes me tear up, man. It’s so beautiful. I might have to watch this by myself so I don’t end up crying the whole way through in front of my abuela 😂
LITERALLY SAME!!! I'm so proud to see my people and my city here
I also teared up through the movie. As a Puerto Rican, I grew up in Williamsburg, Brooklyn I know what it is to have your neighborhood completely flip. Its the go to place in Brooklyn now. I feel you guys.
Yees, as latinos watching a movie made by latinos that allow us to be the protagonists (intead of some secondary character as usual) it's so great :,)
Idk. I guess I just find this enjoyable and sweet. But, like, I was taught to find meaning in my self and culture even if I don’t see it everywhere or if someone is mean. I don’t see it as a movies job to teach me I matter, at least, not enough to break down in tears over it. I’m happy this movie is out and it’s touching. But yeah for what it’s worth, I’m glad something managed to teach you an entire culture actually matters. And I’m sorry to hear something managed to convince you otherwise...until this musical changed all that...
@@jonathanbenavidez201 Oof. Naaaah, man. My experience with myself and my culture goes WAY beyond the scope of one UA-cam comment. I’m 31. I’ve had plenty of time to recover, heal, thrive, and reconnect with my heritage after my experiences as a child. This one film did not teach me I matter. It’s a step in a positive direction, however, for people who deserve to have their stories told.
If I was moved to tears (not “broken down”) it is because Abuela Claudia’s story is so similar to my own grandmother’s. (And I’m sure many other Latino people’s) Seeing that depicted as beautifully as it was is powerful.
What’s it like to be so much better than everyone?
My favorite part is the song... "We are powerless" and it's not the meaning for electric is out but more as a people. We work hard to still be powerless. We need more fireworks in the sky. We need more women and men who are Hispanic that strive for our community. Because those people end up becoming fireworks. Celia Cruz Sonia Sotomayor etc are fireworks. But we need MORRRRREEEEE we are powerless to the youth to give them role models on how to become great men and women for the community. We all have a PART in this world and we need to play our part. The actress that played the grandmother ( Olga Merediz ) had me ballin in tears doe. She resembles every Abuela in our Hispanic community. And how we take care of our familia is demonstrated in this movie. Even from her painful walk and going up the steps... Dawg I felt her pain after a days work. Plantar fasciitis, yeah I felt that.
And the indigenous and Asian community

We are powerFULL, as Daniela would say. ;) we've survived so many wars, uprisings, slavery of every kind, and fascism of every kind in every country to known man. we are stronger than we think we are. time to rise up and raise up our flags! #takeyourpowerback #latinpride

Same! Anthony Ramos too. He doesn't deliver Usnavi the same way Lin did either.

It always works as long as you’re not apologetic about it. Musicals shouldn’t apologize for being a musical
I hope this movie is a box office hit. Musicals are a tough sell when being released against action or horror films.

This is a classic. People will be referring to this movie decades from now. Amazing work.
It's no West Side Story though...
Exactly. This is soooo much better
@@anlingitalia Not musically... And from what I've heard, the story is a little corny... Good intentions rarely make good movies...
Agree to disagree. Bernstein was a genius, but his music was nothing revolutionary. IMHO, this adds much more to musical culture than WSS or other recent musicals like Wicked and so many others…. It’s not Shostakovich, but it definitely is innovative.
I love all music that pushes boundaries but is not trying to hard to be weird (think Schoenberg). In the Heights mixes Buena Vista Social Club music with rap. The lyrics are right on, and the story, symbols are moving.
Ok, the whole thing uses autotune, but what doesn’t these days? I don’t give many movies 10 stars, but this was one of them.
Again, agree to disagree.
@@anlingitalia Maybe that's my main problem it's too much a product of our times, in the sense that the music production is at an all-time low nowadays, originality-wise and everything feels like a product. I love hip-hop, but the music in this movie is hip-pop. There's not a song I've actually liked a lot, except maybe the introduction. Everything is sugary, there's no tension. The ending is terribly happy and it's constantly selling us coca cola. (and I'll pass on the way it imitates La La Land constantly but never gets what is the beauty of it...)
The only real hip hop musical has never been staged and it is A Prince Among Thieves, I highly advise you to listen to it and you'll see how different it is from the sugar and cheesiness of In The Heights (I've now watched the movie and my opinion is different from the one I had when simply watching this video...)
Back when this musical was on Broadway, my choir did an arrangement of "When You're Home", so already this musical held a special place in my heart. It's not very often that I almost forget I'm in a movie theater while watching a movie, but this one totally did that for me.
I saw this yesterday and was definitely not disappointed. As far as musicals go, this one has set the benchmark ridiculously high. A brilliant story, amazing music and the choreography was breathtaking. If you can see it in a cinema, do so. The music and bright colours will blow your head off! 10/10
i saw it today and it had me with my mouth wide open, just breathtaking. I hope people support it so we can get more musicals like this
I saw it on Friday night and it was awesome. I was excited for it ever since it was first announced, and it was worth the wait.
I saw it on the big screen today and it was absolutely amazing, I’m so glad I got to see it in theatres
My first movie in theatres in a year and a half. Well worth it :)
True Cinematic Masterpiece ❤️
I was born and raised in Washington Heights along with my mother and my grandparents who immigrated from DR and I remember being so happy seeing Lin Manuel Miranda winning a Tony for this show. I remember being so excited seeing the trailers all over the Heights and knowing that the majority of the film takes place on the same street that I went to school. It makes me so happy again knowing that we're being recognized and this time on the big screen
I went to elementary school in PS 173 which they shot so close to given they filmed in J Hood Wright Park(literally across the street)
I live in the DR for 3 years and moved back last year. I have tons of Dominican friends and we were all so excited to see the beautiful country getting recognized :)
incoming controversial statement: i’m glad they casted a young actor for the movie adaptation instead of pulling a dear evan hansen and casting the og broadway actor who is way too old
Right??? I know what you mean
Even so, they still had Lin Manuel Miranda in the movie anyway, in such an entertaining role that definitely suits him!
Irrelevant but I’d have loved to see Andrew Barth Feldman as Evan in the movie.
@@seineevee me too. i think he would have been great and he really deserved that role
@@SEGASister I loved Lin as the Piragua guy. Such a great role for him
This is one of the best openings for a film musical I've ever seen. It's like an grand opera roaring to life in front of your eyes, bursting with ever more energy until its climax.
This reminds me so much of the opening minutes of "Love Me Tonight" (a Paramount release from 1932). But I think this may have surpassed that in its grandeur.
If the rest of the movie equals the quality of this, Warner Bros. has a runaway hit on its hands.
I ALWAYS got chills when abuela claudia sings "everyday, paciencia y fe"
Frrrr idk how I’m not gonna cry when I see it for real
Every time he steps outside i get a panic attack that someone is gonna rob the store blind 🤣 that trauma from growing up with a fam running corner liquor stores and gas stations lol
Sonny's still in there!
Especially in the heights high crime area
Shoutout to the people who complained there weren’t enough Afro-Latino representatives in this movie… you didn’t watch it did you? I was crying within the first 5 minutes BECAUSE this was the first time I’ve ever seen so many people who look like my DR Afro-Caribbean family, Ramos even said this was for a long time the ONLY opportunity for Latino and especially Afro-Latino actors to get a break on Broadway. Either you didn’t watch it, you have a VERY narrow and probably stereotypical view of what being Afro-Latino really means, you want people to prove their blackness which is messed up in 19 different ways, and lord the people who said LESLIE GRACE was “white passing” you need help. I’m so happy to see all the love in this comment section but I was annoyed when I heard that bs complaint this morning
Let the Latinos have their moment. Not everything has to be about race.
!!! Amen to all of this
Im Afro-Latina and I agree...I legit felt so seen in this opening scene. Leslie Grace also did an amazing job and I legit cried watching her
@@Fandomonium456 I’ve loved her for so long 😭 will you still love me tomorrow will play at my wedding
Fake outrage. One race traitor blogger trying to bring down successful latinos and the media says "people" are complaining.
I am not a Latina nor far from my hometown but this film literally had a huge impact on me. As someone from an Asian country that was colonized by Spain for 350 years, it is very hard to find a representation in musicals. The language, the constant "I want to leave here" of Vanessa. We also had a mini store before and I used to run it with my 2 older cousins. I also love the small details in the movie that has similarities in where I grew up, the piragua (I grew up buying shaved ice with syrup in our neighborhood, we also have halo-halo and iskrambol), the fiesta, we have lots of Daniela, Carla, and Cuca here (Yes, the salon ladies are the literal salon ladies here). The vapo rub haha, and lots moreee. I hope Lin makes more, Encanto also became a huge representation for both little kids and adults here, I remember my niece being so hyped because she looks like a disney character.
Lin: Look at my son! Pride is not the word I'm looking for. There is so much more inside me now!
This movie is gold. And its only 8 minutes of the movie. Imagine how GOLD the official one is. Cant wait to watch it omg.
This Is Not A Movie But A Play (A Musical).
The thing I love about this is all the latino/hispanic representation and inclusion during the whole musical, specially caribbeans. ~fellow caribbean hispanic :)
I know a LOT of people are saying they cried while watching the movie, but I just couldn't help myself. To see Latinidad represented AND celebrated, to see our stories told with respect and dignity. Omg, I can't even describe what I felt. This film makes my heart so happy ❤️
If you can watch it in the theater, please do. It's worth it!
I played Usnavi in high school so this musical has a sweet spot in my heart! I’m so excited to see it on Saturday!!!
So this is what Spanish class for three years in school helps me with: I can understand the occasional Spanish words in this
omg sameee i was so proud of myself in the theatre 😂
This musical was the reason I took Spanish over french. I was always going to fail but boy did I crash and burn
@@goldstarsforall 😅
lmao this musical (and now movie) taught me more spanish then eight frickin years of the class
My thoughts exactly finally putting it to use.
Okay but Carla and Daniela waking up together 🤍. This movie has so much represention of everything, this has my heart!
If he was telling this whole story to the kids, then now they too know that Julio was in bed with José from the liquor store
No me diga!
No me diga?!
"What's liquor?"
"What Julio was NOT doing."
Daniella and Carla from the sallon
I'm obsessed! I'll just be watching this on repeat until I can see it this week!
Same!
well you got 3 if your not counting today 2 days till its out I'm going to be watching on HBO max but still counts
Me too
Same🤣
I'm going to try to let my mom get hbo max so I can watch it
Just came back from seeing a private advanced screening of the film...... WOW!!! Chills and I'm a mess. I saw it on Broadway 12 years ago with the original cast. This movie is so beautifully well well translated from stage to screen. The ultimate movie of the summer. Lin-Manuel Miranda's story is so powerful and very relevant to the time we're living in today. A celebration of community, love, life ,and home! DO NOT MISS IT!!!!
P.S. I smell some Oscar buzz for the film & A BROADWAY REVIVAL!!!!!
I saw it a few weeks ago too! Loved all the little Easter eggs that Lin threw in there.
God I'm so jealous.
Have they added a new song like they usually do in movie musicals? Just as a frantic Oscar grab?
How on earth did In the Heights only play on broadway for a couple of years? That's crazy talk!
@@melissagola3786 Yes. There is an original song that is played during the end credits called HOME ALL SUMMER. It's song by the full film cast along with Lin Manuel Miranda and Marc Anthony.
What songs did they cut? If it's Inutil I'm gonna cry...
6:31 The fact that Vanessa ignores "Usnavi ask her ooouuuut" "no waaayyy".😄
That part was perfectly harmonized by the way.
2:58 i love his singing
the extra with the blue and yellow shirt is my old hip hop teacher i’m so happy for him
The one next to the lady with the iPad???
I think she means guy in the last minute within the crowd.

At first I had this anxiety thinking about, "What will this be to someone who's never seen it? Is it comprehensible with the speed and editing?" but then I think of Hamilton and how nobody gets it all the first or even fifth time, and how helpful subtitles are for rapid lyrics.
So, that would be my strongest recommendation for those unfamiliar with the show. Turn on the subtitles to catch the names, Spanish, and details.
Then that anxiety slipped away. The whole package started sneaking up on me. I lost it at the push shot of Usnavi singing with the reflection of the dancers in the window - this is beautiful; this is brilliant. Look at that sea of lives, snapshots of everyday America. This is going to be killer.
I can't wait to see the scene when Usnavi finally asks her out in "It Won’t Be Long Now."
Oh snap! Who’s that? Don’t touch me, I’m too hot! Yes! Qué pasó? Here I go! So dope! Y tu lo sabes! No pare.
Sigue sigue!
Did you see me?
Freaky freakit!
What a way to begin the weekend. Sonny, anything you want is free, man!
And my dearly beloved Dominican Republic I haven’t forgotten you! Gonna see this honey, make a little money, and one day I’ll hop Jet Blue!
But until that fateful day, I’m grateful I got a destination.
I’m runnin’ to make it home And home’s what Vanessa’s runnin’ away from.

Benny will forever be my favorite character in any musical
As a Bisexual Latina, little moments like 2:26, that go over other people's heads really stand out and mean the world to me. Representation MATTERS. and I am so incredibly happy to see that they layered Daniela and Carla's relationship into something romantic for the film. If I was a little girl watching this I would have felt so seen and accepted by this minute character change.
Nobody cares
@@marcoemilio6597 i care
@@marcoemilio6597 representation matters and i also care
@@galacticbreadboi9796 Nahh im sick of people always saying his sexuality like if its important. aS a BiSeXuAl i cAn ReLaTe, imagine if i said: As a guy who likes women i can relate to the protagonist, its just stupid, and im not homofobic, its just looking for attention in internet things like that
@@marcoemilio6597 there is straight representation EVERYWHERE. Bisexual representation is very rare. Obviously is someone is bisexual and hispanic, seeing someone who is like them on screen will make them feel good, because they don't see it a lot. Please educate yourself because you clearly don't know what you're talking about.
This movie is a spiritual experience.
Who are you
It’s a giant political message about “the dreamers” and mass US border crossings going on right now! 🏃🏿♂️🏃🏿♂️👏🏽👦🏽 🏃🏿♂️🤱🏾🏃🏿♂️YOUR DREAMS ARE OURS NOW!! 🤩
It’s brilliant!!!!
YESSSS
AMEN TO THIS
Lin’s singing at 7:56 and 8:08 really brings me back to the first time i watched the musical
I CAN'T STOP WATCHING THIS MASTERPIECE OF A FILM!!!!! In The Heights is one of the best movies I've seen all year!!! The songs were BEYOND CATCHY, the cast was amazing, basically the entire film was a absolute blast from start to finish!!! I HIGHLY recommend it!!! This has potential to get an Oscar Nomination for Best Picture
When Vanessa said "No", I felt that.
Dude, why is her verse slapping so hard? She's literally speaking in song. It's so mundane, yet I can't stop replaying it. What black magic is this?
lmaoooo
@@larrypoppins6273 FOR REAL THO Oh My Gosh
🤣
I love how this is filled with easter eggs for latinos. Like on 4:32, he is holding VapoRub while singing "I got it", the most latino mom thing ever😂😂👌🏽
Something about watching everyone at a bodega after Covid makes me really emotional
Alright, I admit shedding a few tears at 0:59 when my country's map was shown on screen. That brought so many beautiful memories from my infancy. Representation does matter--that's no cliche. And, if a movie can evoke so many different emotions in a person within less than a minute of the opening scene... it is a definite MUST-WATCH. I need to support this film and everyone whose hands touched it. Thank you from the heart of a Dominican-American and all of the family members I am dragging with me to see this at the theater! Exhilarating clip!
I love how all of this cast looks like they could play multi ethnicities!!! Me and my boyfriend are both mixed kids and we both cried the whole film both times we watched it. So much heart was put into this writing
i’m like crying and it’s only for 8 minutes. bruh just imagine the tears FOR THE WHOLE MOVIE
PLZ I WATCHED THE WHOLE MOVIE AND I CRIED SO MUCH. THEY WERENT EVEN SAD PARTS I WAS JUST EMOTIONAL.
Yep! I was in tears like 80% of the movie if not more. Everything about this film is inspiring and beautiful. Nostalgic af for me 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Such a wonderful heart warming movie
😏 I also appreciate it’s stealth political message. The savvy billionaire backers funding this show, hope gen-XYZ-ers will emotionally identify w/ the shows “dreamers”....Absolutely genius marketing! A triggered emotional response will be elicited from later media campaigns.
This is the first scene and I cried watching it. Then I cried about six more times throughout the next two and a half hours too 😅
Yo when everyone starts dancing I just can’t stop repeating it over and over again everything is just so beautiful, and the way they are enjoying the music I just can’t. Props to the director for actually nailing the first song❤️
We first generation Italian kids had the same experience. The key is to develop one's talents and use them to contribute to the good of society . . .Yes, dreams DO come true w/hard work
It took way too long for me to find out about this masterpiece of a movie, and I wish I would've found out about it sooner. Great songs and the storytelling and representation is amazing! I'm a fan of Melissa Barrera's so that was the main reason why I checked this movie out and ended up loving it for way more reasons
They’re all so good but oh my god was Anthony the best choice he STOLE THE SHOW 😩😩
Pretty sure Anthony played the main lead of the movie so he's technically not stealing the show as he owns the entire movie. I feel like Corey Hawkins' Benny will stole the show very much in the movie as the supporting character
@@4deleDaz33m could not agree more with everything you said. I knew Corey Hawkins was talented but damn, I am blown away, he is nailing Benny and making it his own, I hear Leslie Grace's Nina is also a scene stealer, so just looks like a phenom movie all around.
Honestly if he doesn't blow up after this I'll be both disappointed and surprised. He's crazy talented and has charisma and stage presence for days
If they must choose a lead for this show, it might as well be an alumnus of this show
He's amazing, though as a dominican and a person who hasn't seen the musical yet, the only question I have is if he is dominican american, why did they not cast a dominican american instead?
The cinematography, the musicality, the storytelling, the characters, etc. You can tell this movie was made with authenticity and pure love. Byeeee the first 8 minutes were amazing. I’m definitely going to see the rest of the movie.💯
That shot of the custodian looking out to the streets at 7:47 is such a powerful image.
That part always brings tears to LMM’s eyes. (I read that in the “In the Heights Finding Home” book, I believe.)
Every extra is on point in this movie. They are so invested and the camera captures them beautifully.
This movie continues to pull me out of the deepest depression. Beautiful.
Fun fact 2: some scenes are of Washington Heights workers doing their actual jobs!
That’s so beautiful 🤩
For years as a Latino, I've always saw myself isolated from the characters I've seen on screen. Watching this, I cried knowing I'm finally represented! Gracias Lin Manuel Miranda. Viva Latin America!
Viva! :)
2 things
1 . I’ve never watched in the Heights but just by these eight minutes I can tell it’s really good !
2 . are you happy now ? Well congratulations Lin-Manuel Miranda has apologized to you all who were criticizing an innocent man for not including every single race that there is in a movie that is already very long and very detailed
“You know what this movie about Latinx and Hispanic people needs? More black people.” There are Afro-Latin people in the cast (Leslie Grace for example, who plays Nina)
@@SEGASister no
This is possibly the proudest I've ever been of a movie I've worked on
You worked on this movie?
Can’t wait for people to go “yEAh SuRE”
Also if you don’t mind asking what did you work on
Thats amazing man and you should be proud!!!
@@EpicGamer-dk1tp I was a set dresser on this summer 2019
The most beautiful thing about this movie, and this scene in particular, is that if you’ve lived and walked these kind of barrios you KNOW these people. They dont look like actors. I can even smell the street food and sweat and dreams from these people through the screen. Truly amazing job and such a good representation for all latinos ✊🏽
That’s beautiful! Representation matters. The music is fantastic. I’m a white British woman and this is my groove. I’ve always loved Latino music!
I may or may not have cried my eyes out during the abuela Claudia scenes the foreshadowing leading towards the moment was just… wow
yeah. when he said something about her doing something in the beginning it stabbed my heart :’)
Yesssss this is how you make an musical adaptation, i'm looking you cats 2019
Forget that abomination, just erase it from memory.
Loved In The Heights!
Oh God, the nightmares are coming back.
@@larrypoppins6273 was it seriously that terrible
@@edwardboland4015 a furry would have done it better that's all I'm gonna say
The visuals of this film look stunning! Plus the choreography, the music, the performances, and the celebration of my culture and mi gente! Phenomenal collaboration of Jon M. Chu and Lin Manuel Miranda. Just cannot wait to see!!!
