summary:
West Side Story is a musical inspired from Romeo and Juliet. Two gangs, the Jets (from American descent) and the Sharks (Puerto Rican immigrants) ,live in and fight for an area of the West Side of Manhattan. Tony and Maria belong to the two different gangs and feel an impossible love.
review:
At the beginning, the movie made me laugh because the characters look ridiculous. They are dancing and singing and, for a gang, it is not realistic. To my mind, the film is a good adaptation of Romeo & Juliet. It is most interesting for our generation. The songs are rather varied, there are many kinds of music and that's great. The film brings various feelings out of the onlookers. The beginning is funny and then we switch to anxiety, suspense and sadness. The end is slightly different from Romeo & Juliet because Maria does not die and that shows the film director didn't make a replica but just an "update" to attract an other public.
