as somebody who is the product of trauma bred from revolution and then taken to another country founded on revolution that is now inching closer and closer to needing ANOTHER revolution i can only say that this movie is a miracle.

the most daring film released by a major studio since Reds (another brilliant masterpiece on the heart and shortcomings of revolution) 

all i can say to PTA….THANK YOUUU SENSEI!!!

“Life is alright in America
if you’re all white in America”

Spielberg is already on my Mount Rushmore of filmmakers but i have a personal gratitude to him for giving us Latinos back this very iconic text. for years this musical has always been polarizing for the Latino community and to see the king of “putting yourself in others shoes” ressurect this story and make it so unabashedly Puerto Rican (aka American!!) and so modern while so honest to its theatrical roots is a feat of genius. an elder statesman still commanding at the top of his craft. impeccable
