This guy, THIS guy Lin... is a character that belongs in history. The genius artist of our generation.
Genius!
Once in a lifetime artist. Everything he touches turned to gold
He IS talented but the he is famous because his dad is connected
@@johannacrespo1663 no one does anything on their own. What we do when that door is opened is what counts
@@johannacrespo1663 that's not true
“he’s singing my old harmony” is the cutest way to put it
I actually got tears in my eyes when he said that...
Yup, this made me cry 😭
Lin to Anthony: LOOK AT MY SON!!! PRIDE IS NOT THE WORD I'M LOOKING FOR! AND YEAH, HE MY SON! AND HE WILL BLOW EVERY ONE AWAY IN THIS FILM!!
YEA YOU"LL BLOW US ALL WAY, SOME DAY SOME DAY
@@xxkaiyaxx682 today is "the someday" 😂
@@karolinakrolik5558 LOL🤣
Tearing up
IM CRYING 😭
Lin wrote a Tony award winning musical at 19!? I’m almost 19 and still living at home with 0 idea where my futures going.
Most people dont do anything at 19 lol.
Hitler didnt realy get going until his 30s. Lmao jk.
Im in the same boat brother. We just just gotta take it one step at a time
Only 19, but his mind was older
Comparing yourself ain't healthy

As a Dominican born and raised in NYC this makes me emotional because it feels so personal... I know all these characters personally ... I’m so excited to watch
So you're American?

So true! My family literally had a bodega in Brooklyn that i lived above in an apartment filled with my loud ass latino family. So many references to my childhood i just couldn't stop smiling and crying.
I’ll never be able to fully express my love and respect for Lin Manuel and his talents.
@mario Dias you mean Puerto Rican?

I will always remember him singing silent e is a Ninja on electric company when I was little

The best Is him feuding with Christopher Jackson.
Yes! Loved it!
Yes! That was hilarious
Benny and usnavi back again
My lord Jackson's smile when they first showed him almost made me fall over laughing
Lin has seriously helped me connect to my Latino side so much that I get emotional thinking about it. I was born in Colombia and moved to the states at age 7. I’ve assimilated to American culture and I’ve forgotten where I come from and who I am. Representation matters so much. Seeing Latinos on a huge stage like this has ignited a pride in me that I had lost long ago. I don’t know how to word it, but I am so thankful and I am so proud. I hope he knows the impact he is making
Glad you’re reconnecting with your Latin roots! I got emotional watching this movie...Btw what city you grew up in? Being from NYC there’s no way we could disconnect
It's so interesting hearing other people's stories. I was born in the States, moved to Puerto Rico when I was 5 for two years and then moved to Maryland when I was 6, and I've been here since. My parents raised me in a Puerto Rican household, and I was always proud of my culture, but I am very, very white. No matter how loud I was about my heritage, I grew up without the community, and I grew up with every person being shocked I'm Latina, and it hurt and confused me. I know where I belong and I am looking for the community every single day. I'm so happy hearing your story and how Lin has helped you ❤️ We all have our journeys that lead us back home. We find a way.
Same! My parents are from Colombia. My first language was Spanish, but once I started going to school I desperately wanted to be included, so I turned away from the culture and became very Americanized. Once I got out of high school 10 years ago, I reconnected and feel free. I am very proud to be latina!! I don't hide it, I embrace my Colombian roots 🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴
I’m from Colombia, but grew up in the states since childhood and never had a chance to connect to my culture there. I found the musical a few years ago and it completely changed my life.

I could listen to Lin speak for hours. He is not only a creative genius but a warm, loving, humble guy! Read any interview of cast who worked w him & you’ll hear the same comments-kindest, sweetest, grateful human ever. On M Poppins & His Dark Materials cast gushes telling stories of what a joy he was on set-singing showtimes-a joy to be around!!
Lin is so humble and I think that’s why I like him so much!
Yep!
Totally ❤️
He's puertorrican... There is no other better explanation.
indeed.
Hes a racist that was rewarded for trying to whitewash latino culture for the raciat marxists in Hollywood trying to rename Latinos to latinx which is blatant whitewashing racism.
“I will never make a leap that big again in my life”
*2031 LMM is the first person to direct a musical in space*
As someone born and raised in the Heights, and lucky enough to see In The Heights on Broadway I am beyond excited to see this movie and soooo proud of Lin-Manuel! Thank you for showing everyone the beauty of our world!
You lucky bastard! Congrats on this
The humility on this guy is outstanding!
Humility?!?! You eat fake for breakfast huh.
@@ZEREEUSLY thats not a negative comment
@@ZEREEUSLY theyre saying hes humble
@@ZEREEUSLY bro calm down and google the definition of humility.
@@barbara.... Yes sir.
It's impossible to dislike Lin, he's such a kind and genuine guy.
How does he always look like an enchanted child🥺✨
❤️😂❤️😂❤️ Love this comment!
I'm not Latino but I cried twice watching it, just because of the people, the culture and their sense of community, I've never experienced something like this before, and I'm scared I never will.
That's how Lin felt watching West Side Story, and the answer to that fear was In The Heights! Go forth and create.
Valerie, should You ever decide to visit. You'd be most welcome ... I promise. ;-)

I saw the movie on Sunday on a special screening and I can honestly say that it was amazing, the music, the lyrics, the choreographies, the story, and everything was on place. I can’t wait to see it again on Thursday also for the full soundtrack album to come out. 😄
Album has been out on spotify for almost a month now

Jimmy: I needed this tho. I NEED THIS!
Me: YES. WE ALL NEED THIS! I CAN’T WAIT!
also that look on his face after they show the clip ^^
1:06 what jimmy meant was “Man! The man is non-stop!”
Gentlemen of the jury, I’m curious. Bear with me. Are you aware we are making history? This is the first murder trial of our brand new nation, the liberty behind deliberation.

Wow!

Imagine walking in and Lin Manuel is your substitute teacher.
There are those who are excited for this because of Hamilton, and those who have been fans of In The Heights long before Hamilton. It’s interesting to see the difference.
I’m actually surprised how few dislikes this has. Everybody loves Lin.
I love how humble Lin-Manuel is.
He seems cool. He should write a musical about a founding father!

My family is from Mexico and Guatemala and we are very proud of that and celebrate it and that’s what I felt from this movie , celebration, telling a story ! ❤️❤️❤️ much love to all this movie is definitely one of my favs now

What a genuinely sweet, gracious soul. #LMM
I'M LITERALLY DRIVING AN HOUR AND A HALF ON SUNDAY TO SEE THIS MOVIE WITH FRIENDS I'M THAT OBSESSED
We've seen this with several friends as well!
Cutting Piragua would have been a travesty!
1:21 - 1:48
He took the words right out of my mouth. Lin Manuel Miranda’s amazing and his work is incredible and he has my appreciation 😊
I'm so proud of Lin and what he has accomplished. I'm happy a Latino is putting Latin culture out there in a loving, happy and positive way! We ALL needed this and the world needed to see this!
Man, I totally wanna cry. I've been waiting for this movie for years 😢
I watched the movie last night and I just had this moment where I thought “wow they look like me”
He really showed how NYC is in the summer ...thanks for showing different Latinos, especially the Heights AKA Little Dominican Republic 🇩🇴
Lin is so humble and down to earth and I love him for that
Just watched this movie as a “special advance screening” here in Australia 🇦🇺 and it was BEYOND AWESOME!
I just saw the flag from my mom’s island hanging up there! I am so happy.
I have no Latino roots that I know of but man, this film made me wish I did. Not in an "appropriate the culture" kind of way but in a "I love these people" kind of way.
And for all of the above, Lin does such a wonderful job of taking archtypes and showing them through his personal lens. Most everyone has know that abuela--the woman who wasn't your grandmother in fact but certainly was in spirit. We've all had broken dreams and dreams we refuse to let go of even when they seem impossible. We all want better things for our kids. We all find ways to connect to others. If we're lucky, we have a place where we belong. And if we don't give up, we all find our island in the end. Lin takes all that common human experience and says "This is how it looks in my world."
And that makes him brilliant. Human and brilliant. Can't wait to see what's next.
Lin is like a fine wine
El orgullo que sientes cuando oyes canciones del orgullo hispano que uno tiene no puedes no llorar. ¡Viva Manuel Miranda! ¡Viva el orgullo hispano!
The most down to earth , humble soul he is
Don’t mind me, I’m just binge watching Lin-Manuel Miranda videos right after watching In The Heights ❤️ Anyone else?
Lin I'm alive this year because of you!!!
Jimmy: And don't stop. And you never stopped.
Me: I guess you could say he's *non-stop* 😏
The man is non-stop.
Nooooooon-stop

That scene will always give me goosebumps 🇵🇷🇵🇷❤️
Damn I was tearing up at the clip. This is gonna be great!
Just saw this at The Fine Arts Center in Colorado Springs! This guy is a genuine and a gem!
I live in Texas and my father is from New York, so the both of us has seen through our friends and close family members a lot of what happens in the film. I was absolutely blow away by the film, almost offended that my mom didn't like it, and learned that my father used to spend a lot of time in Washington Heights. He said it reminded him of home.
This movie wasn't made for me and my mom, so we don't have to understand it, but I still appreciate the stories. Usnavi's cousin really struck a nerve with me. I won't spoil it, but he reminded me of a close friend's journey.
The story behind getting this to the big screen could be it's own movie!
He never plans it and then appears in all his creations lol
I’ve seen Hamilton in NY & have watched videos of other Alexanders who may have better voices but it’s Lin’s baby & no one has his passion. ITH he always said he was writing it for himself to play lead.
He absolutely planned it on broadway for both ITH and Hamilton, and never denied that.
@@lesliehayes3921 Yeah but his voice though... I mean, I love Hamilton but I'm reluctant of showing it to my family cause I know they will hate Lin's voice and it may kinda ruin the experience. When you're that bad of a singer, you shouldn't cast yourself as the lead role even though you wrote the thing ( other composers don't), but I admit his energy is nice to see.
I gotta say though, he's improved a lot now since he's been taking singing lessons thanks to disney.
He always planned it and he had already said that
@@goldenclaw_ nobody can rap the way Lin raps, and check “Cheering From Me Now” and then say he is a bad singer🤷🏻♀️ he is not the best but he is not bad
I watched the Broadway years ago when Lin played Usnavi. It’s been my favorite Broadway since, every song is drilled into my head especially since my Abuela and Mom loved the Broadway since it to spoke to them. I’m the 1st gen in my family born on the mainland, my Abuela and my mom were raised in puerto Rico and immigrated. They went through their share of struggles, and gave me the chance to have a comfortable life. It just really spoke to my family and I enjoyed the songs, plus I use to wear the same hat as Usnavi and thought I was the coolest kid in elementary.
UGHH I love Lin so much, he’s had such an impact on my life in such a short time! He’s one of the main reasons behind my love for theatre! The BEST!

REPRESENTATION MATTERS!! I saw this movie and got so emotional!!! Cried from beginning to end! 😭😭😭❤️ Thank you Lin Manuel Miranda for this gift!
This man is truly an amazing piece of art and is so humble. He is a literal genius.
Amazing clip. Cant wait to watch on HBOMax’
Lin is one of the most talented human beings on this planet!! how could anyone dislike this??
just watched the movie and it was incredible. one of my favorites!!
LinManuel, puerto Rico está muy orgulloso de ti.🇵🇷
omg jimmy's little hand clap and te thumbs up at 3:17 so cute hahaha

He's making everyone proud :).
I can’t wait to see the movie. Lin is so wonderful and seems so sweet.
im so so so proud of him
I got goosebumps and I haven't even watched the movie yet. Just a beautiful gorgeous tribute to ourselves and then some. I only wish the whole planet could see this amazing work of art.
Love you Lin. Amazing Musical. Looking forward to see your more and more beautiful works.
Greetings from Germany.
Just saw this movie and it is an incredible movie - so much talent!!!!! Lin-Manuel Miranda is a genius and so talented.
I saw a stage production of this, but I'm so excited to watch this. (already have my tickets 😊)
When Jimmy said ‘I needed this’ 💯 This I didnt know I needed this movie either
🎶 "Alza la bandera, la bandera . . ." 🎶
Me: 🙌🏼 🇨🇴 🙌🏼 🇪🇨 🙌🏼
All these clips of the movie have me wanting to dance and join them! 💃🔥💃🔥💃 Love Lin-Manuel! Can't wait to watch "In The Heights!" 🙌🏼❤🙌🏼
he’s such a genuinely amazing person
Love him!!! If my son or any of my children for that matter turn out a quarter as amazing(not talking about the wealth) as Lin Manuel Miranda I'll have done a good job as a parent with a hefty dose of luck
Lin I don't personally know you, but I'm proud of you 👏👏👏 🇵🇷🤩
Ik he’s married but still…I would marry this man in 0.00001 seconds
The pidagua guy vs the Mr Softy shows the struggle of the old ways fading away, like the gentrification of the city he described throughout the story.
LOVE YOU LIN. LOVE YOU, LOV THE OBC, LOVE THE MOVIE CAST. LOVE JON M CHU. YALL MADE THIS HAPPEN AND IT IS AMAZING
One thing that stood out to watching the extra was when talked Abuela that fact she was like everyone grandma and mom which was absolutely true she reminded me of my Sicilian grandma my dad mom so much was scary my G was very family Oriented she love her city
Great energy and so uplifting! Loved the film!
Me encanta 😊 un latino triunfando . Se ve q es un hombre muy humilde , lo admiro muchísimo está poniendo el nombre de los latinos en alto.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼bravo mis respetos , se nota se siente tan orgulloso de ser latino.
I'm so happy to live at the same time as Lin 💙
“I was writing what was missing” thats beautiful
“I was writing what was missing”
So proud of him 💙💙💙
I just watched the film and I cried like a baby but my soul is full . This connects not only to Latinos but to so many communities that carry their dreams with “ paciencia y fe” . Raise your flag with pride as it’s not what separates us but what unites us . Gracias Lin-Manuel Miranda de corazón .
I've never really been to New York City (save for the usual touristy stuff), but I actually got the chills at 4:42.
I still can’t believe I got to see this live. What an amazing time.
He did the music for west side story, I watched that, I’m always watching that movie it’s great👍👌😁
Jimmy’s comment to the movie: it moves.
It's amazing how I cannot stop myself from crying at every little snippet of In the heights I watch. Oh man! So excited to watch it in full!
Incredible trailer. All the scenes I've seen from this movie are just superb. Lin-Manuel wrote it as a teen? This is just insane. But you see, some things take a while. The last time I've seen Puerto Ricans dancing and singing in a major movie was "West Side Story". Long time ago. "In the heights" is maybe not containing classics as songs, but I´s gonna be a classic and Lin-Manuel is going to get an OSCAR®. For sure!
