"West Side Story" is a 1957 musical, a 1961 feature film that won TEN Academy Awards (starring Natalie Wood, Richard Beymer, Rita Moreno, George Chakiris, Russ Tamblyn), and an upcoming Steven Spielberg film starring Ansel Elgort and Rachel Zegler as Tony and Maria, respectively.
This video is another passion project that covers the source material and origins of West Side Story, and some preliminary thoughts on the new film adaptation. There were so many more points of discussion I would have loved to dive into but the script was so long already that I decided to cap it. Perhaps I'll return to the 1961 film in the future to discuss more that I couldn't get to this time around.
This video contains spoilers.
