peak liberalism is asking the consumer class toĀ āgo greenā, recycle, and turn off their lights for an hour each year to save the planet instead of telling the agricultural/oil industry and multi-billion corporations to cut out 99% of the shit theyāre pulling every single hour of every day
I was talking to my sister about it last night in the car and Iāve concluded that the best movie adaptation of Hamilton would be randomly anachronistic for seemingly no reason. Like, the characters all dress like itās the late 19th century but the props and setting change wildly.
Itās Quiet Uptown takes place in The Grange surrounded by historical estates and brownstones, but the entirety of The Schyler Sisters takes place in like, modern Times Square
The start of the Aaron Burr, Sir sequence starts in a dark period appropriate tavern and then Laurens kicks the door open carrying an actual six pack of Samuel Adams
Both the one v one Hamilton & Washington scenes are set in the oval office (despite the White House not actually existing yet) but the cabinet battles are set inā¦ whatever building they were using to house the government in Philadelphia and NYC at that point
Hamiltonās line about āWe have resorted to eating our horsesā is angrily shouted into a corded desk phone that he slams to hang up
Phillip Hamilton interrupts an actual play in a period theatre but the ushers that show him out at the end all have flashlights
Farmer Refuted takes place in Central Park and the accompaniment is from street musicians, including the harpsichord
The hard cut to King Georgeās declaration has him with in the set they use for the Queenās Christmas Speech, except instead of a photograph on the desk thereās a big portrait of Queen Victoria behind him
Cabinet battles have a stenographer using a type writer
Basically, anything that could be quickly googled to provide a date is allowed to be anachronistic, and everything else has to be period accurate. Add your own!
