Review by anonymous (posted on 9-Mar-2006)

Greatest movie ever modern day Romeo and Juliet. Great music and acting fantastic dancing. Story line is happy and sad. I think this is a classic. Natalie Wood was superb. She gave a real feel of the part when you watched her you believed that this was true and she was really Puerto Rican. All the actors and actresses where great and took the parts seriously enough that they put you in the middle of the scene, and you got lost in the story and the emotion. The dancing was wonderful giving just the right edge to this with the song writing as expressive and creative. When Bernardo dies and Riff dies you panic and when Tony tries to get the Jets to stop the fight you hope nothing will happen to get the Jets and Sharks into another fight. Of course you know that it will. Then when Maria finds Tony and Chico kills Tony your heart breaks and bleeds for Maria and the love they will never have. All they want is to get away from everyone and be married and have a happy life. I love this movie one of my all time favorites.
