    Good, silly, and coordinated
    Andrew Garfield is such a great person for this role. In this the actors in the background have silly moves, wearing a book on their head. If you like music, you will like this 90% singy song movie about a musician getting his musical performance heard. The only reason this was a 7/10 for me was because I am not really into the story or into musicals. But, I like the rhymes and the popular song with them in the chair. But this is a great film for kids and families, and single people just wanting a good heavy story movie.

    The pace is alright, I wasn't too invested. But they were very good in vocals and backround of the story.

    In the world without Sondheim, it hits me different.
    A film that depicts the unknown anguish of Jonathan Larson, who is well known as the composer of the Broadway musical "RENT" and his countdown to the age of 30. Of course, it's musical style.

    In a word, I was impressed. It may be a little unsatisfactory for those who have "In the Heights" in mind. However, there is nothing less than the quality as a movie and the charm of the song.

    He is celebrating his birthday soon. It's not just a birthday. It's his 30th birthday. Steven Sondheim, who made a great contribution to the musical world for half a century, has already written "West Side Story" in his twenties and succeeded. What about Jonathan on tanother hand? He's in poverty in my daily life, so I can't create masterpieces. His lover Susan is fulfilling her dream of becoming a teacher, and his friend Michael is working steadily...

    I can hear the sound of the clock constantly from the beginning. His impatience seems to be contagious. "30/90" is sung there.

    I was drawn into a splendid singing with humor by Andrew Garfield, as if he projected Jonathan's warm personality as it is. What made me realize here is, of course, the singing ability is also important, but what hits the hearts of the audience the most is the feeling put into the song. Combined with the catchiness of the song, it was a wonderful performance.

    Actually, I was surprised to hear that this is Lin-Manuel Miranda's first film. If you pay attention to the details, the roughness will appear. But that's not the point. It's a wonderful way to draw Jonathan's suffering. As a Broadway musical composer, I thought it was because he had respect for Jonathan. It's a work that I was able to create because I really understand him.

    In addition, the song I particularly liked in the main story was "Why." It's a song I would like to recommend because I tend to focus on the title song, such as 30/90" and "Come to your senses".

    "When I was 9, Michael and I..."

    It's a song with memories with Michael on the song. When I was 9 years old, I sang "Yellow Bird" and "Let's fly a kite" at the show with Michael. We went to "West Side Story" in high school, but Michael played the role of Doc who didn't sing." I thought. Hey, what a way to spend the day."

    "What a wonderful day!" I cried at Jonathan's performance, which made me think about it. And on the way, the repries of "Come to your senses" was also inserted, and the end was very warm.
