    The ending is so surprising and moving!
    "West Side Story" is a musical romance. Many immigrants live on the west side of New York. However, young people dissatisfied with poverty and discrimination form groups, and conflicts gradually intensify. Maria, whose brother is the leader of a group of Puerto Rican immigrants, meets Tony, the former leader of a rival group of European immigrants, and they fall in love. Since love between groups of enemies is forbidden, it arouses anger and changes the destinies of many people.

    I can't help but cry as I watch the man and woman never give up despite facing hardships. The strength of their romantic love despite different backgrounds is conveyed through a variety of emotional performances that touch my heart. This movie is set in an entire town, so I am overwhelmed by the sense of scale. Furthermore, the synergy between the gorgeous and powerful songs and dances clearly conveys the emotions of the characters in every scene. Thanks to the performers dynamic movements using body parts such as their feet and fingers, and the loudness of the sound effects during fight scenes, it is easy to immerse myself in the world and empathize with it.

    In conclusion, I recommend this film.

    I just really love musicals.
    I want to note right away that I did not watch the original of Wise, but got acquainted with the remake of Spielberg. I thought I was going to watch a funny movie and have a happy evening, spoiler I've never been so wrong. I understand that the plot of Romeo and Juliet is already quite hackneyed, but here I was still caught up in the story of Maria and Tony. You empathize with all the characters, seriously, I just can't imagine how Anita felt, she was in such a suffocating torment. I want to say, look at what stupidity leads to, trying to seem like a tough gangster. Here they talk about what environment does to a person and Tony is an excellent example. Bernstein's excellent music, wonderful actors and their voices and hareography made me dance. Well, at the end, I cried my eyes out. A great movie, now there is a desire to watch the original.
