As for me the movie was interesting and wonderful. We didn't expect this ending because there are lots of deaths. There are many dances and songs, the movie deals both with romance and action. To my mind it is important to watch West Side Story to know the differences between the American and the Puerto Rican gangs.
Actors were excellent, impressive and athletic. There is an organization to the choreography which was impressive. Most of the protagonists die so the ending is very sad and shocks because the fight is violent with knifes and fists.
In my opinion there is a bad story and a happy story in West Side Story. First the wonderful, fantastic and impossible love between Maria and Tony, after that I felt the hatred, the racism between the Puerto Rican and the American gangs
We can find lots of similarities between West Side Story and Romeo and Juliet.
For example the scene when Maria was on the balcony and Tony was under it, when they revealed their love and they sang together. It's romantic. Or the death of Tony but Maria stay in life at the end of the film whereas Juliet die in Romeo and Juliet.
