Hamilton’s July 3 debut as a film gave me chills and brought me back to my wondrous first viewing in a theatre. One of the most powerful moments is Christopher Jackson playing George Washington singing One Last Time of his decision to resign from the presidency:

We’re gonna teach ’em how to
Say goodbye
One last time

— One Last Time, Hamilton (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
