This is one of the best interviews about the movie, honestly... when Anthony is talking about how he spent his life trying to get away from where he grew up and the movie taught him that he should make peace and be proud of it instead. Man, we all need a little bit of that I think.
@@AnaGabriela-jp8os Same. The world is good at making you feel ashamed at who you are, where you've come from, and the scars that you carry. The greatest achievement in life is making peace with and loving yourself.
So true. People can’t even enjoy what’s before them because they are always looking back wishing for what they left behind which isn’t the same anymore . Don’t hang on the past make new memories.
They casted Abuela Claudia perfectly. The way she tugged my heart in Paciencia Y Fe. I've rewatched that scene so many times. Worth the 25 dollars honestly!
She’s the original abuela claudia from the broadway musical so im really happy they casted her again for the movie bc she’s honestly perfect for the role!!!
My grandma immigrated from Ecuador in the 60's and raised my father in Washington Heights. She was a maid and worked till the day she passed away. I was raised in Florida and visited her once a year. I understand Spanish better than I speak it and she only spoke Spanish. I was too young to have developed a relationship with her but I get a sense of who she was from my relatives. She was the first to become a US citizen in my family and she was the matriarch thou she was the youngest. Abuela Claudia's character reminds me so much of my grandma. I not only ball my eyes out watching the film but just listening to the recording.
That part got me too. Just because of the fact that you never see an older woman be such a pivotal part of the story and really get her chance to shine with a knockout song like that.
The way Lin encourages his people is so sweet to see. It could be so easy to act like he’s above them, but he’s honestly like a loving brother to some, a wise uncle to others, and to the world he’s a creative genius. Also.... witnessing Anthony be the star of this is so fulfilling.
I remember when lin-manuel used to be on electric company on PBS singing silent e is a Ninja. He would always come on the show to sing or rap a song to help kids learn
It would be 7, if they brought back the "Best Choreography" Oscar. The lack of a choreography Oscar and a stunt-work Oscar has been a sore point among those professionals for many, many years.
Best Picture Best Director Best Production Design Best Film Editing Best Sound Best Original Song (Home All Summer) They would most likely bag these as nominations...or even more. Let's just see how well they'll do in the awards season.
Yeah, me too Anthony. **wipes tear** @18:30. Damn. That was emotional af. I bawled my eyes out at that part too in the theater when Nina was at the table talking about her experiences at Uni. Scarily similar to my own. I felt so seen.
I was bawling so many times during this movie. When the whole ensemble came in during the first In The Heights chorus, seeing all of those Latine faces fill the screen. During ‘Breathe’, multiple times during ‘Paciencia Y Fe’. I lost my abuelo and abuela during the pandemic, so Abuela’s whole story hit home HARD
I'm a Japanese Peruvian, currently living in Japan. Wow this movie woke up my latina side that ihas been sleeping for years!! Felt super nostalgic too about my Latina family!! Different country but with similar struggles. It might not be all paths with roses when you are "different" here in Japan but felt more grateful for my ancestors both sides!!! Vámos!!! Proud to be LATINA JAPONESA!!!!🇵🇪🇯🇵
God bless Lin-Manuel Miranda, I just saw the movie two days ago and I've told the nurse at the doctor's office, my neighbors, the Lyft driver - everyone that crosses my path about this wonderful musical. It was amazing to see the diversity of Spanish speaking people as I have experienced them all my life - hard working, good and dignified people. Also, I am Cuban, I embroider and so many moments resonated with me. I literally can't remember I saw a movie in a cinema that inspired me so much. :)
I actually can't believe Corey said he couldn't sing! He stole the show for me; he's got such a gorgeous tone, and I was so madly impressed and in love with how he sounded.
I’m originally from Washington Heights so it was exciting to watch In the Heights and seeing areas where I frequently walked by as a child so thank you for the memories. Man, I could have made a perfect actress in this cause I know first hand what it was like living in the heights.
Thanks for making a movie that show interesting things in the hood instead of someone selling and doing drugs, having shootouts, and someone getting pregnant as a joke. Is something that everybody can enjoy kudos 👏 🙌
Had to see it. My first movie in a year and loved it. The audience applauding at the end of this movie came natural although it is not common here in Puerto Rico.
My family and I went to the movies and saw it last night ... beautiful !! My brother watched it at home already, but it was so good that he saw it again in the theaters ❤️❤️
I cried , I smiled , I sobbed , I felt uplifted This movie made me want to learn spanish and I am already in love with Latin community ❤ I am an Indian … deeply moved by this film I think that speaks for how great a film this is
7:42 / 8:34 now I won't be able to listen to "My Shot" the same way again. Now all I'm able to think of is little Anthony trying to escape from these neighborhoods where people were either dying or not reaching their dreams and just going through all that trauma at a young age.
Lin Manuel ur a good person, that’s all it’s matters God Bless You, the movie ist one of the best I seem, I love it, it remind me of West Side Story , the best 2 best movies I seem Joker & In The Heighs, I’m so proud of u Lin♥️
In the height is the only musical I truly bawled my eyes out crying because I felt so seen. My god I'm not even from America, but I saw bits and pieces of myself in almost all of the characters. The most emotional song is of course Paciencia y fe because it reminds me of my mother so much it's kind of scary.
Still sort of surprised no one has asked Lin (at least in any of the thousands of interviews I've watched) about the decision to change Nina's reason for dropping out from the loss of her scholarship to that feeling of alienation... Love both versions of this so much but am definitely curious since that was a detail he's said he fought to not change when they were starting out
I think part of it is the fact that what they wanted to change it to originally was some kind of stereotypical “oh she got pregnant” or “a boyfriend” plot point whereas now it’s still about how difficult it is to be different in a homogeneous group like an elite college. Like the importance of culture and community is the whole point of the musical and this change only emphasizes that rather than fall into a stereotype.
The original soundtrack said she was working while going to school to pay for what her scholarship didn't cover. Her grades began to slip to the point she lost her scholarship or was on academic probation. @@SlytherinBookworm
Well done cast crew and everyone just watch this here in the UK what a marvellous magnificent production priceless up there with the greatest musical ever please please please can I have number 2
Remember that scene when Benny got coffee for his boss and then another scene he got coffee for his boss and himself in later that day in the main song a.k.a. the first song he had already got coffee lolololololol
When Lin was introducing Olga they put what she played in big letters and her name small and with everyone else they put there names in big letters and what they played In small letters
This is one of the best interviews about the movie, honestly... when Anthony is talking about how he spent his life trying to get away from where he grew up and the movie taught him that he should make peace and be proud of it instead. Man, we all need a little bit of that I think.
I actually teared up

So true. People can’t even enjoy what’s before them because they are always looking back wishing for what they left behind which isn’t the same anymore . Don’t hang on the past make new memories.
Corey Hawkins not thinking he can sing has me shook because I’ve been obsessing over his voice.
His tone is everything. I definitely want to hear more
SAME I LOVED HIS VOICE
when he entered the movie with "U ain't got no skills" i was D E A D.
They casted Abuela Claudia perfectly. The way she tugged my heart in Paciencia Y Fe. I've rewatched that scene so many times. Worth the 25 dollars honestly!

Bawled my eyes out during that scene.

I was trying so hard not to cry…
Her singing this song sounds so familiar and so genuinely real.
That part got me too. Just because of the fact that you never see an older woman be such a pivotal part of the story and really get her chance to shine with a knockout song like that.
“You sang My Shot, and you looked ready to destroy the world” that whole part was everything for me (8:00)
I LOVE YOUR NAME!!!!!
@@rachelwardrocks thank u
Yes I started tearing up when he started rapping. I have a big place in my heart for Anthony 🥰❤❤

"Corey lied to us and said he can't sing!"
"They won't let me say that no more"
"It is forbidden. I will smack you on the head"
i love a cast
Time?
Nvm 28:05
Olga: "You know he was multitasking."
Daphne: "What else is new."
I can't with this cast
There’s at least 8 potential Oscar nominations in this movie
It would be 7, if they brought back the "Best Choreography" Oscar. The lack of a choreography Oscar and a stunt-work Oscar has been a sore point among those professionals for many, many years.
Best Picture
Best Director
Best Production Design
Best Film Editing
Best Sound
Best Original Song (Home All Summer)
They would most likely bag these as nominations...or even more. Let's just see how well they'll do in the awards season.
LOL a movie that bombed bigtime ok sure! who'd see it? nobody watches the oscars anymore, next year it'll be 3 people left!
@@TheMovieGeek-gh9ur and also just make a “best movie/musical to ever walk the face of the earth” for in the heights and in the heights only
@@BlacKnightRising It bombed cuz of covid. I know so many people who wanted to watch it but didn’t wanna go in theater
These people were born to play these roles. You can literally feel their chemistry through the screen. Such a beautiful movie and story!
I love how they are all fangirling over each other cuz they really all deserve it 🤩🤩🤩
Yeah, me too Anthony. **wipes tear** @18:30. Damn. That was emotional af. I bawled my eyes out at that part too in the theater when Nina was at the table talking about her experiences at Uni. Scarily similar to my own. I felt so seen.
Hi dear, how're you doing today..?
Listennnn ive been tryin to explain the invisibility of immigrants at university for so long and Nina jus helped me so much.
Lin definitely has a connection with something that made this universe. It genius and talent…
I was bawling so many times during this movie. When the whole ensemble came in during the first In The Heights chorus, seeing all of those Latine faces fill the screen. During ‘Breathe’, multiple times during ‘Paciencia Y Fe’. I lost my abuelo and abuela during the pandemic, so Abuela’s whole story hit home HARD
I’m so sorry for your loss 🥺 I agree with you those numbers were beautiful ❤️
I'm a Japanese Peruvian, currently living in Japan.
Wow this movie woke up my latina side that ihas been sleeping for years!! Felt super nostalgic too about my Latina family!!
Different country but with similar struggles. It might not be all paths with roses when you are "different" here in Japan but felt more grateful for my ancestors both sides!!!
Vámos!!!
Proud to be LATINA JAPONESA!!!!🇵🇪🇯🇵
Anthony speaks with such passion, I adore him❤️
7:45 man I live for this energy and Anthony rapping that verse of my shot!
Leslie has me in tears watching this interview...and in the movie!
Gregory needs to play Usnavi onstage someday.
YES
And then anothy can play the piragua guy
and theyll cast olga again since she's our immortal queen
@@mariafausti3128 THIS. I LOVE THIS
Hell yes! With Lin as Kevin
There is so much passion and love and respect and soul in this half an hour.. "you craddled me in the moment" oh my GOD... I'm in tears
Such a powerful moment right!?
This cast is so wonderful. I love everything about this interview
Hi dear, how' re you doing today..?
I said out loud in the theatre-"great shot" when I saw the window scene! Brilliant
God bless Lin-Manuel Miranda, I just saw the movie two days ago and I've told the nurse at the doctor's office, my neighbors, the Lyft driver - everyone that crosses my path about this wonderful musical. It was amazing to see the diversity of Spanish speaking people as I have experienced them all my life - hard working, good and dignified people.

No matter where your from what your background the issues you have faced , you will connect with this movie on some level.
When Dascha is in her feels at 26:17 I just wanna give her the biggest hug and say thank you for pouring your heart and soul into this film! 💗💗💗💗
But they just cut her off and completely ignore that she’s crying 😢
I actually can't believe Corey said he couldn't sing! He stole the show for me; he's got such a gorgeous tone, and I was so madly impressed and in love with how he sounded.
Oh man Anthony is really something else
Hes so attractive it borderline upsets me 😂
Olga’s solo made me cry. She was beautiful
Olga : y'know he's (Lin) multi-tasking
Someone : *what else is new*
Hi dear, how're you doing today..?
He really is non-stop
Why does he write like he's running out of time?
@@elbruces literally like he doesn’t have to write day and night 🙄
@@elbruces everyday he fights like he's running out of time
I just love how Anthony actually played Usnavi on Broadway in 2018 in Washington and he played Usnavi in the movie
Oh wow I didn't know he got a chance to play in the Broadway production. Pretty cool since he had initially auditioned and didn't get the part.
As an immigrant from Britain this was highly relatable . Thank you cast for making this for us nomads seeking permission to land!
"Cuca, you exist now" 😂
I remember seeing the trailer last summer .. impatient to see it , I’m so happy I got to see it last night !
A great movie. I saw the play in Puerto Rico years ago with Lin-Manuel and it was so great also this movie version.
Fun fact: Sonny had recently turned 14 when they started filming. He’s so talented
This whole interview had me balling, everyone was so amazing.
Saw the play years ago, the movie yesterday. The audience applauded!!!!! That's rare. I loved the movie. Congrats on a smash (again)!
I've seen this movie 3 times and twice on stage, it was phenomenal. Great Job, great ART, great Director and writing, and great singing. Such a Fan.
I’m originally from Washington Heights so it was exciting to watch In the Heights and seeing areas where I frequently walked by as a child so thank you for the memories. Man, I could have made a perfect actress in this cause I know first hand what it was like living in the heights.
I loved this movie so much. Every character was cast perfectly.
I LOVED THIS MOVIE! Congratulations Lin and John. I will be seeing it again and again! 😀🎶🎉👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks for making a movie that show interesting things in the hood instead of someone selling and doing drugs, having shootouts, and someone getting pregnant as a joke. Is something that everybody can enjoy kudos 👏 🙌
Bro you right on point please tell me you’re black, because we gotta talk
saw the movie in the theater today. I enjoyed it so much that I’m going to get the streaming to watch again
I saw it last night and loved this movie. Cinemas opened yesterday in Vancouver and this is the first movie I saw. Joy-medicine. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇨🇦❤️
Had to see it. My first movie in a year and loved it. The audience applauding at the end of this movie came natural although it is not common here in Puerto Rico.
My family and I went to the movies and saw it last night ... beautiful !! My brother watched it at home already, but it was so good that he saw it again in the theaters ❤️❤️
omg i found someone who shares my name!
and someone who likes theatre!
Lin is gonna be an EGOT after this movie
That’s what he’s been shooting for..,
I don't think his motivation is to win awards. He is a true story teller.
Great movie. So fun, beautiful, and emotional. Saw 3x in theater. Going again. And saw on HBO. Love it
omg you guys make me cry! I can't wait to watch it!! WOOT WOOT!!
Anthony ramos really is happy with his passion and success. He has strong words
I love everything about this interview 💚
I cried , I smiled , I sobbed , I felt uplifted
This movie made me want to learn spanish and I am already in love with Latin community ❤
I am an Indian … deeply moved by this film
I think that speaks for how great a film this is
I would be sitting so awkward if I was in this interview cause I’m so bad when reacting to emotional motivational type conversations 😭
7:42 / 8:34 now I won't be able to listen to "My Shot" the same way again. Now all I'm able to think of is little Anthony trying to escape from these neighborhoods where people were either dying or not reaching their dreams and just going through all that trauma at a young age.
"I challenge you to dream bigger" 🙌🙌🙌
1:10 And we are joined by... Abuela Claudia who played the role of Olga Merediz
I’m glad someone else noticed that
?
Well Done guys!!! Well Done!!! El Suenito!!! Here in San Antonio Texas!!!! To continue the legacy!!! We are dreamers and ideologist of the world!!!
Lin Manuel ur a good person, that’s all it’s matters God Bless You, the movie ist one of the best I seem, I love it, it remind me of West Side Story , the best 2 best movies I seem Joker & In The Heighs, I’m so proud of u Lin♥️

Genious... that was the right cast to choose for the movie, Thanks for going with you guts and don;t fall for the haters. My family enjoy the movie.
IM SORRY WHERES STEPH BEATRIZ??? YOU CANT LEAVE CARLA OUT
It’s possible that when they dod this interview she was pregnant and maybe working with Encanto
This was such a great movie. love the cast
Omg I would pay to see the interaction btwn Melissa and Karen Olivo 😭😭
Crying con Anthony Ramos palabras
I love this! One of the best musicals of all time representing the Latin power.
Loved this movie; it was pure joy! Very talented cast, great script and direction. Flawless!😊
I love the movie so much I watched it 5 times
I'm obsessed, glad to see I'm not the only one.

Remember that scene when Benny got coffee for his boss and then another scene he got coffee for his boss and himself in later that day in the main song a.k.a. the first song he had already got coffee lolololololol
And I’m sorry if this is hurtful
Umm the lyrics are

Don’t forget 🇵🇦 Panama

Lmao
We need a Into The Hights Sequel 💯
7:20😭💐
7:20 what is this angle I’ve paused on
How do i get in to theatre/Acting? This film sparked the interest again that Ive had for the longest time!!
I'd check to see if there's a community theater in your area, for starters.
Start watching @wendyalanewright videos. She helps a lot!
I love then ALL
This movie is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
20:21 hilarious
19:05 Queen 🇵🇦
I wish that I could video chat with the cast In The Heights
I love Anthony yall
Lol the intros had the characters name in little text then their real life names in big but for ogla they flipped it
I know...I got so confused 😅
Hands down best movie of the year
Corey can singggg
And here in lies one of the key issues - if you don’t have proper representation behind the scenes - how can you expect to have it in screen.
*Best musical, 100%!*
