It's still the afterthought of the musical

The West Side is well, let’s talk seriously about the afterthought. I regret that I spent 400 to see it on the first floor, but I really can't appreciate it. This is probably the quietest musical or musical I have ever seen. When acting, it is purely acting like a drama, and there is not a single BGM. The end of the play was also quietly finished. Even the curtain call did not have a BGM, and there was no encore. I think it was vicious that I couldn't find a suitable encore track. Plot: The plot is very blunt. It was modified based on Romeo and Juliet. The plot of the first act can be said to be basically the same, but the relationship between the characters is different. However, as soon as the relationship between the characters changes, the plot is instantly stiff: the heroine is not the heroine’s rival cousin who is in the same family but fell in love with the heroine, but the heroine’s brother; it is not the heroine’s nanny who helps the heroine to spread the letter. , But the sister-in-law of the heroine. Just talking about two points, I think I should feel how love is supreme in this drama. It is the love of the hero and the hero, and the love of others is not love. Music: I really can't appreciate the music of the last century. The melody of the music is very strange. I haven't found its beauty yet. It feels like I am forced to use lyrics to tell the plot. The only song with a stronger melody with the name of a male lead singer and a female lead singer, because he has heard Uncle Qiu sing it, this actor is not very attractive anymore.

    I envy that era when musicals flourished (but "West Side Story" should be the end of the musical era. The Vietnam War in the 1960s and student yundong will definitely change the taste of popular culture). My favorite song and dance in "America". Rita Moreno sings, dances and acts well and George Chakiris dances well. The male and female protagonists are mainly responsible for looking good, singing is accompanied by singing, and they are not responsible for dancing. If this movie was shot seven or eight years earlier, Rita's heroine would be much more worthy of her name (see her in "Devil's Garden"), she is beautiful and pure when young, singing and dancing are all perfect, and she is the real Puerto Rican .
