It’s a song and dance film that pays much attention to the story, but now it’s a bit simpler. The movie "West Side Story" tells the story of a certain street in West Side where local young people and foreign Spanish young people hate each other, so that Tony, who fell in love with a Spanish girl, is killed. A very realistic love tragedy. On the one hand, a confused and problematic teenager has become a social illness and is not cared for in the family and society. On the other hand, Spanish immigrants who pursue the American dream can only do low-level jobs and have no sense of security. For the purpose of entertainment, the film has lost some depth, which is hard to judge whether it is good or bad. Going to watch musicals now has a lot of sentimentality. Because singing and dancing performances are outdated in modern times, people have more entertainment methods and a richer spiritual world, so they pursue more connotative stories. Song and dance films use a lot of singing lines to tell stories, which is also boring, because people watch too many movies, their ability to accept audiovisual language has improved, and they have a higher demand for sensory stimulation.
