My Thoughts on West Side Story (2021)

My #Review of #WestSideStory by #StevenSpielberg West Side Story is a 2021 film by Steven Spielberg staring Ansel Elgort, Rachel Zegler, Ariana DeBose (of Hamilton fame) David Alvarez, Mike Faist, and returning cast member Rita Moreno (who won the Oscar for her portrayal of Anita). The film is an adaptation of both the original 1957 Broadway Musical by Jerome Robbins with music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and book by Arthur Laurents, as well as the 1961 movie adaptation staring Natalie Wood, Richard Beymer, Russ Tamblyn, Rita Moreno, and George Chakiris. The 1961 film won several Academy Awards and has often been praised as the best movie musical of all time.
