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.
