Arthur P. ~West Side Story~

WEST SIDE STORY

I thought at first it was funny, because the characters were ridiculous !
But after it became dull and boring...
Maybe because it is an old film, and we, a 21th century generation, are not adapted to see this kind of story.
This film is very badly played because we see that the characters are not really hitting one another in fights, and when a character gets stabbed, he/she does not bleed and dies on the spot.

This scene, when Chino kills Tony, looks like "Romeo and Juliet" (by Shakespeare), because Tony is killed by his enemy and Maria witnesses it all.
But it's really ridiculous, because the Jets and the Sharks arrived and they stood together and united, there was no bloodshed unlike in "Romeo and Juliet".
