In the Heights2021

Breathtakingly beautiful musical film that was high spirited from the word GO. Flawlessly knitted musicals in the narrative that shows the Latin community living together in the NYC who have got their own legacy, dreams and communal belongings/tensions  which burst out in expressive ways. Almost every emotion is shown through amazingly choreographed and written dialogue-driven musicals.  There’s one small detail I loved, how the story leads to one big event, which comes on the screen multiple times like “3 days to go for blackout” with current temperature below that. I wondered why they are mentioning the temperature but when the blackout (Seems like only their place) happens it’s the highest temperature which is shown on the screen. So “Heat” plays a huge role in all of their lives. Blackout stays for more no of days, they sweat it out without electricity, they come out to get a fresh air, yet they all get through it by celebrating and singing “We are not powerless but we are powerful”. This, literally this is what makes this community who are staying in NYC makes them more special leaving behind plethora of legacy that will never ever make the world think they are invisible. Props to the director Jon M. Chu.  “These little details that tell the world that we are not invisible” Masterpiece and an Oscar contender- No second thought on that.
