Not a movie.

Everything we see in Hamilton, from the performances to the wardrobe and the scenery, are NOT created for a movie, but for a theatre show. The camera is there only to register something, not to create. That's why Hamilton shouldn't be considered a movie. The Oscars know it, but IMDb is insisting with this absurdity. Hamilton is the only live performance on Top 250. It shouldn't be along real movies like Citizen Kane or The Godfather.

Do you know why Hamilton is not appearing in ANY list of 2020 best movies? 
Because IT IS NOT a movie...
