First Burn: Hamilton Animatic

This was honestly so powerful to watch. You can see the balance of sorrow and anger coming from Eliza, but there’s something else I’ve noticed as well that I don’t see. There was this perfect mix of her knowing she couldn’t, shouldn’t be walking back into Alexander’s arms, but yet longing for it despite the ache. It’s the moments like 2:08 that really demonstrate how much she misses the way her husband was before the war, before his employment as Secretary, before the dreaded Reynolds Pamphlet scandal. She loves and wants him again, but she can’t even recognize him anymore. Alexander also plays a big part in this too, and while not noticeable at first, you can sense and feel the pain and regret in his own eyes too. The sight of his wife falling to pieces because of his own wrongdoings is breaking him, and you demonstrated so well how he longs to try and explain himself, but gets cut off, because this was irreversible, and was life-changing to the point where even the tolerant Eliza couldn’t take it. You can see the heartbreak in his eyes, the fear of all of those memories disappearing of the sweet Schuyler sister, only leaving the despondent and broken Eliza he sees before him, knowing it was his fault in the first place. And then the climax. Oh my god, that last chorus. That still image at 2:27, especially with the fluid movements is absolutely gorgeous and dare I say, breathtaking. Alexander desperately reaching for the disappearing and burning memories before him, but failing to grasp at them. The children seeing the broken down state of their mother, the tears flowing from both of their eyes. The anger, sorrow, longing, regret, bitterness was laced into just forty seconds. Every bit of that ending was absolutely jaw-dropping, and I’m in love with your take on “First Burn”. It’s heart-wrenching, yet for all of the right and wrong reasons. Thank you for your hard work, and well done on this 💛

"we are your legacy" Hamilton was chasing around his legacy his whole life never realizing that it was right there being neglected

“Your enemy whispers so you have to scream!” Pretty good summary of Alexander throughout the play.

straight line: ______ dashed line: - - - - - - - Iconic line: I see how you look at my sister

“Dearest Eliza,” ALEXANDER YOU DIDN’T PUT A COMMA AT DEAREST YOU LITTLE SH—

*eliza's voice* when will you learn that - *shrill pre-pubescent boy voice* THAT YOUR ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES!! !

Eliza: "I see the way you look at my sister" Alexander: And I oop-

Why nobody is talking about how beautiful he draw her eyes?

"Let future historians wonder how Eliza reacted when you broke her heart," Damn.

Hamilton is watching how his wife is becoming the most powerful fire mage which will burn all his letter and probably their house too

Elisa has the hair style of every anime mom that dies...👀👀

I just realized why I like First Burn more than Burn. Throughout the musical, Eliza is wanting to settle down and is a bit ignorant when it came to love. She trusted a man with a foundation made of his love letters. She was in love with the Alexander presented on a page he wrote to her. Eliza built an emotional wall with the letters to shield herself from the arrogant jerk Alex really was. In Burn, she tears down the wall inside. In her mind, burning the letters was seeing the truth about the man she had fallen for. Nobody but her needed to know her feelings, not even Alex. She only kicked him out of her bed. She's not the powerful yet ignorant Elizabeth Schyler we were introduced to. Her emotional stability was literally and figuratively burned in the fires of sadness and rage. But, in First Burn, she doesn't hold back. Eliza confronts Alex, not to mock him or make him feel more guilty, but to give him a reality check and tell him how she feels and felt throughout their marriage. She was emotional, of course, but she stood her ground. She removed the rose-colored glasses she had been wearing since Helpless. Eliza destroyed not just the letters, but the man who wrote them to build her trust. She finally realized who Alex was. This song kinda explains the line "Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room" from Non-Stop. He thought he was smart. He saw a beautiful legacy being built up around him. When Maria came to him, a wrecking ball crashed into his future. That wreaking ball was Eliza's words telling him he was being dumb. His legacy wasn't something he did, but someone he was close with. Eliza told him his legacy wasn't his, but his children's. Thank you! That's all. Did I get an A+ on my essay?

Eliza: Alexander cheated on me... Angelica: Hold on, I think I have a gun with his name on it

“Do you know what Angelica said when I told her what you’d done” she said “don’t worry sugar I’ll get Dads gun”.

My Dear Eliza My Dearest,Angelica My Friend,John Lauren's I mean, c'mon Alexander.

Eliza: I see how you look at my sister... Angelica: [looks at Peggy] Peggy: [hurriedly tears off red dress and puts on yellow one] Both: [tries to look innocent] Both: [*SWEATS NERVOUSLY*]

“Did you hear what Angelica said when she heard what you’d done?” “She said ‘You have married and icarus now go get my gun’”

Angelica: grab my gun. t poses to alexander

This clearly proves that hamilton would be an amazing anime

"Let future historians wonder how Eliza reacted when you broke her heart" Historians: F in the chat to pay respects
