    Such an exciting color, set, dance, and actors actually performed such a drama with such a straight and masculine temperament. They are all covered with a layer of cheerful filters, and musicals may not be suitable for expressing tragedy; Tonight, the confession of love is sung amidst the provocative declaration of war, and there is a trace of tragic...

    I finally finished watching it, the song is really good, I have listened to OBC for several years and still love it! Rita Marino's Anita is the most outstanding, whether it is the domineering look when singing America, or the stubborn tears after being humiliated by Jets, they all make people feel very substituting. Riff is second, when it's ruthless, it's ruthless, and when it's cheap, it's cheap enough. I really like the part where he and Jets sing Gee, Officer Krupke, so cute! On the...

    The American immigrant version of "Romeo and Juliet" is full of admirable live-action shots and symbols of the times. At the beginning of the show, he performed "Splitting Friends" with singing and dancing, while introducing the background of the gang, which was so gorgeous that he was dumbfounded. Although the heroine's behavior of choosing love over family after the adaptation is questionable, the script is handled well, so that the audience's empathy is still biased towards a pair of lovers....

    I've never liked musicals, I always feel very contrived. I don't even like this film, it's too...

    1962 Oscar for best picture, Manhattan gangster version [Romeo and Juliet]. The story is boring and the well-received song and dance sequences don't appeal to me, but the sets (especially the color schemes) and performances are worth seeing. PS: I didn’t expect this classic, which won 10 Oscars, to be the most insensitive musical I’ve ever seen... (6.5/10)

    Such a prominent and beautiful portrayal of love makes the realism of immigrants and the bottom of society insignificant: a few words are worth a thousand words at first sight, the lonely singing after meeting true love, the golden light under the cross in the wedding, and the entanglement The love declaration and bloody omen in the gang song, as well as the half-note that can not be sung at the end. The classic Shakespeare has achieved a gorgeous mutation in the Hollywood song and dance film,...

    Fuck this is terrible, the black-faced actors pretending to be Puerto Ricans, the singing and dancing part that looks like an unrehearsed group gymnastics show, and the two and a half hours of director’s shameless and time-wasting film...

    authenticity in musicals

    The attempt to put singing and dancing on the street, and two great praises about immigrants and delinquent teenagers.
    But after the two died, on the night of her brother's death, Maria still sang about the future with her lover who had just known each other for a few days (even at first sight) who...

    Death nirvana

    There are not many musicals that ended in tragedy and were put on the screen and won unlimited awards. Bo Yang said that the Chinese have a great reunion complex, and Mr. Zhu Guangqian said in "Tragic Psychology" that what is truly memorable and inspiring is not the laughter, but the sad...
