Still better then 1961 film!!
West Side Story is a musical romantic drama film directed by Steven Spielberg. The film stars Ansel Elgort, Rachel Zegler, Ariana DeBose, David Alvarez, Mike Faist, and Rita Moreno.
The film is the second feature-length adaptation of the 1957 stage musical of the same name.
A young man affiliated with a Caucasian gang falls in love with the sister of a Puerto Rican gangster. As a result, they face many challenges in their quest to unite.
I have seen the 1961 original musical and didn't liked that film much but this film is slightly better then the original although this film also has the same common problem as the original one, the film gets boring, is very slow and lethargic although the screenplay and cinematography is still better then the 1961 film.
The acting in the film is good and apart from Rachel Zegler who looked little immature or lost for this character everyone was spot on. The screenplay of the film is good and the songs are also good.
Cinematography of the film is good. For me little better then the 1961 film. - designxyz - 13 March 2024
Love this film!
I listened to the original Broadway cast recording when I was 11 years old and it remains one of my favorite musicals of all time. When I first watched this remake, I was bowled over by Mike Faist's performance. He was a standout as Riff as was Ariana DeBose's, Anita. I have to admit I needed to watch the film more than once to really appreciate the new interpretation. And watching the behind the scenes documentary (which I highly recommend!) gave me a great appreciation for every aspect of this film and the love everyone involved in this film has for their craft. The story is timeless and it was quite an outstanding endeavor.
