West Side Story, by Emeline Lambert


West Side Story is an American musical, inspired by one of Shakespeare's drama : Romeo and Juliet.
The scene takes place in Manhattan, New York City, in the 1950s. It tells the story of 2 rival gangs, the Jets and the Sharks. The Sharks come from Puerto Rico and the Jets think they are the true American.
Tony, one of the Jets, falls in love with Maria, the Sharks' leader's sister.
This story is really moving, touching, and I liked it.
But I did not like the songs. They are too many of them, because WSS is a musical, and at the end of the film I did not want to listen to them anymore.
They often dance, and it is sometimes very funny, but mainly beautiful.
