West Side Story Review By Wazna.B.


To my mind, this movie was very interesting and even funny sometimes. But, at the end, the film was sad because Tony, Maria's lover, dies.
The 2 protagonists of West Side Story, Tony and Maria, look like of the 2 protagonists of the play by Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet. Their love seems impossible because they belong to 2 feuding gangs ( or families ). Indeed Tony belongs to the Jets, with his friend Riff and Bernardo is the leader of the Sharks.
At a ball, Tony falls in love with Bernardo's sister, Maria. But Bernardo doesn't accept this love. A fight begins between Bernardo and Tony, for Maria.


Similitaries Between West Side Story And Romeo & Juliet
The balcony scene is the first similarity between the 2 movies.
