I can go on and on about how useless and ineffectual this entire movie was, but at a certain point the question I asked myself throughout the two hours I sat in the theater had to be leveled against myself: what’s the point?

At first glance, ‘Hamilton’ does seem to put a revolutionary (so to speak) spin on political history.

The actions of ISIS are obviously unconscionable, and the rhetoric of Donald Trump is notoriously vain and hate-filled, but at their center is a creed which sticks clearly in one’s mind: that you belong, and that your aggression towards the world is not unfounded.
