When we heard Youll Be Back in the movie me and my entire family freaked out. Some of us didnt get it at first but once we all got it it was awesome. I LOVED Christopher and Lins competing scene! It was awesome. All the cameos from other actors (and Lins parents) were so cool as well. And a whole lot of the movie was giving me West Side Story vibes All Im learning in this video (and from many other things) is that Lin Manuel Miranda is such a clever, awesome, genius!

One big detail overlooked by many, is the absence of GOYA products in the Bodega. GOYA was/is a top food staple for Latinos. Yet, when the CEO openly endorsed Trump, many Latinos boycotted the products. The ill feelings were exacerbated when Ivanka Trump pandered and posed with a can of GOYA beans. It was so obvious what she was doing and it offended many. Yet, GOYA continues to be on the shelves of many Bodegas, just not in Usnavi's.

One that lyrics change, you forgot to mention was the club scene. On Broadway Nina and Benny get into a fight and try to avoid eachother because mr Rosario fired him at the same time the bodago gets trashed, in the movie Usnavi and Vanessa get into a fight because Usnavi wouldnt dance with her and goes straight to aubuella song.

Im just gonna mention, I absolutely love The beautiful brain of Lin-Manuel Miranda. I mean, who can come up with all of this! He needs to make more musicals. He is a absolute genius, they should put his name next to the greats, like Thomas Jefferson! You know, after he catches up with all he missed

You've probably already gotten mad heat about this but the clave rhythm was not borrowed from Leonard Bernstein, Leonard Bernstein borrowed the son clave 3-2 rhythm from afro-Cuban music. There are two clave patterns, 3-2 or 2-3. Bernstein and Miranda both use the son 3-2 pattern.

This movie made me cry, I felt so proud as a Dominican that was born in NYC and was raised in DR. Seeing myself represented on screen (regardless of some details being a bit off in the film) and seeing Latin culture all over was amazing. Made me very proud.

You do understand that the 3-2 clave is the heart of most Latin American sounds and songs and that Lin didn't borrow it but rather us it authentically. Leonard Bernstein was just REFERENCING the clave. Get your facts right.

Was I the only one who thought that the daughter wear the shells was a Moana reference? Also Usnavi in the movie played the little cousin Sonny in the 2012 ITH Broadway cast. Talk about full circle moment.

Wish they'd mentioned that in addition to it being a little bonus nugget, You'll Be Back is a fun bit of exposition for Nina as Kevin is calling about her tuition. Stanford is subtly saying she'll be back!

The clave rhythm is not borrowed from America. Clave rhythm is a cornerstone of many Latin musical styles, which Bernstein also borrowed from for West Side Story. Miranda borrowed it from the source.

The scene where the Mr Softy truck breaks down and Lin Manuels character is talking about his cart being successful, did they edit that part out? I watched it on HBO Max and I dont remember that scene

I saw In The Heights last night in theater with my friend Kathlyn for my birthday. I thought the movie was okay. It was a bit predictable. Although I wish all hold music was You'll Be Back.

The clave rhythm 3-2 is a staple of Latin music. It is west Side Story that borrowed from the culture. Sondheim did not invent it. Come on now MsMojo!

You forgot to mention Patrick Page being the guy buying Ninas fathers shop. He played in Hadestown and Hunchback of Notre Dame the Musical.

In The Heights have more Clave influence than West Side Story, and it's not borrowed as it is one of the backbone to Latin Music

The clave isn't borrowed from West Side Story nor was it invented by Bernstein. How could you get that one so obviously wrong?

Add one to the list: The glasses Miranda's character wears belonged to his grandfather as well as the book he reads.
