tick, tick…BOOM!是一部由百老汇轰动的2021年传记剧《林·曼努埃尔·米兰达》（Lin-Manuel Miranda）。这部电影是关于关于的半自传的故事Jonathan Larson—a lyricist and composer—and is based on an eponymous musical by him. The film stars Andrew Garfield, Robin de Jesús, Alexandra Shipp, Joshua Henry, Judith Light, and Vanessa Hudgens.

Trailer:

Jonathan Larson performs his stage musical—tick, tick…BOOM!—in New York. He explains a ticking noise he hears in his head, keeping him aware that time is running out. In the musical, he starts his story when he is working in a diner in SoHo. He is about to turn 30 and is currently working on his dystopian sci-fi musical, Superbia. Jonathan feels a lot of pressure in life, mainly due to his inability to achieve success which has started affecting his personal life too.

The Good:

When I started watching this musical drama, it was solely due toLin-Manuel Miranda’s directionand Andrew Garfield as the main lead. I was not familiar with Jonathan Larson’s name, until after I finished watchingtick, tick…BOOM!. After watching this film, I came to realise how influential Larson’s work had been, and that he truly was one of a kind. I feel thattick, tick…BOOM!perfectly did justice to the late composer and lyricist.

Film after film,Andrew Garfieldhas proven himself to be an exceptional actor.tick, tick…BOOM!was no different. Andrew as Jonathan Larson, gave anextremely inspiring performance. I could feel Larson’s emotional turmoil through the actor’s expressions and body language. Much like Larson himself, Andrew Garfield played the role of the lyricist in a dejected yet goofy manner.

While all thesongs in the musical dramawere written by the original Jonathan Larson, the way they were presented on-screen took my breath away!
In the song “Sunday“, Garfield dances in his diner while delivering food orders. There are afew special cameosfrom various Broadway actors in this song, such as Bernadette Peters, Chita Rivera, Joel Grey, Phylicia Rashad, Brian Stokes Mitchell, André De Shields, Howard McGillin, Chuck Cooper, Bebe Neuwirth, and Beth Malone. Hamilton actors Renée Elise Goldsberry and Phillipa Soo, along with the director—Lin-Manuel Miranda—himself made appearances in the song. We also saworiginal cast members of “Rent” (written by Jonathan Larson)达芙妮Rubin-Vega,亚当帕斯卡nd Wilson Jermaine Heredia.

My personal favourite was“Therapy“, which was performed by Andrew Garfield and Vanessa Hudgens. The song focused on the relationship troubles of Jonathan Larson. It wasplayful and realistic. Both Garfield and Hudgens acted out the song perfectly andkept my eyes glued to the screen.

The mastermind, Lin-Manuel Miranda, wisely put outEaster eggs for all Broadway fans在那里。除了这部电影中令人惊叹的客串清单之外，只有热爱音乐剧的人才能指出，还有许多细节。尽管布拉德利·惠特福德（Bradley Whitford Onscreen）扮演了已故的斯蒂芬·桑德海姆（Stephen Sondheim）的角色，但桑德海姆（Sondheim）向拉尔森（Larson）发送语音邮件的场景实际上是由桑德海姆本人录制的！

The Bad:

Throughout the film, my eyes were glued to the screen, waiting to learn more about Jonathan Larson and his life. In my opinion,我认为没有什么可以做不同的事情.

判决：

The film truly was向已故的乔纳森·拉尔森（Jonathan Larson）致敬, a legendary lyricist and composer who was gone too soon from this world. The almost two-hour long film isextremely passionate and a must-watchfor anyone who is a fan of musicals or theatre!
