En el barrio

Acerca de esta película

El creador de Hamilton y director de Locamente millonarios te invita a un evento cinematográfico, en el que las calles se llenan de música y de grandes sueños. Se encienden las luces de Washington Heights. El aroma de un cafecito caliente flota en el aire a la salida del metro en 181st Street, donde un caleidoscopio de sueños congrega a esta comunidad activa y unida. En medio de todo eso, aparece el querible y carismático dueño de la bodega, Usnavi (Anthony Ramos), quien ahorra cada centavo día a día mientras sueña, imagina y canta con la esperanza de una vida mejor. En el barrio combina las letras y la música cinéticas de Lin‐Manuel Miranda con la capacidad del director Jon M. Chu para crear narraciones vívidas y auténticas, y entre los dos plasman un mundo que es muy local, pero a la vez universal en la experiencia.

Loved the rootable characters, sense of community, and big numbers! Joyful and emotional movie with both a sense of place and representation, and universal themes. Watched this in the movie theater twice and bought video on demand as soon as available. You notice a lot more "little details" too on second viewing -- it's a great work of art on top of being entertaining.

Was a little skeptical to go into this, but I must say been a while since I saw a musical movie this good. Was really entertained with the good musics and dances. Plot was good enough and performances were on point with great selection of music tracks. Was a little bit race oriented bit nothing too serious. I highly recommend this for a chillaxing Friday night with the babe.

Just like I remember it on Broadway! I feel in love with Broadway because of this my very first show, and it represents the Latino community in its masses. So proud to be celebrated and put out onto the big screen ! ❤️❤️
