1795 Hamilton

Retiring from President Washington’s cabinet, having done more than his fair share in setting the new government onto smooth sailing, Alexander Hamilton comes home to his family to refurbish his own personal finances. Once, discovering a slim volume on the table, he picks it up and sees that it is a copy of the Constitution, and he gives out a pretty, little oracular speech.

“Now, mark my words. So long as we are a young and virtuous people, this instrument will bind us together in mutual interests, mutual welfare, and mutual happiness. But when we become old and corrupt, it will bind us no longer.”

About Time

“About Time”. A time-bounce movie, a particularly charming one. Maybe the idea of having second chances is especially appealing to people who like to write. That acute self-consciousness. Forever ruminating on our past and wondering what might have been.
