Open Up Your Eyes! - 1776

Edited by: Erika
Character/Ship: John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, the Second Continental Congress, John/Abigail, Thomas/Martha, a liiiiittle bit of John/Martha
Song: Politik by Coldplay
Comment: After seeing 1776 for the first time, I fell in love with it and its music. John Adams is an amazing character, along with Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin. I thought to myself, 'I'd better make a music vid out of this.' So, I chose Politik by Coldplay. I think it fits really quite well. :) The ending is my favorite. Hope you all enjoy!

(John Adams obviously conceals cymbals in his frilly, lace cuffs. :3)

This video uses scenes from 1776, a Broadway musical turned movie that is about the Second Continental Congress and the signing of the Declaration of Independence. I don't claim to own the musical, movie, characters, history, or the music by the band Coldplay. This is non profit, I'm only having fun. :)

please tell me the description doesn't actually ship John Adams and Thomas Jefferson....

@jjohnsoc My description?! No way! That would be weird. This is in no way a slashy vid. :D It's actually meant to be a general vid with a focus on John Adams... kind of like the movie. XD

Very cool! I love 1776 fan videos, as I am then reassured that I am not the only 21st century kid in love with revolutionary America!

I think this video sums up the entire movie very nicely.

[Eriksoneandonly]

Thank you! Yeah, there sadly aren't that many! There's kind of a lack of songs that go with the movie other than its own songs, though... :D Hope you find some good ones!

Very nice. I've never seen a fanvid for 1776. It's one of my top 5 favorite movies of all time. I must now do some digging on YT. ;)

[Eriksoneandonly]

That's extremely awesome. :D Lucky you. Best I've got is an ancestor that fought at Valley Forge. Which is still great, but not as.

:D

You're welcome, and thank you!

I have an ancestor who was President of the Continental Congress for a term.

This sings in my blood!

Thanks!
