@@Hello-fz3cj Yes Shakespeare said it centuries ago. But there are cracks in these barriers - especially amongst young people. They may be the 'selfie generation' but they have a refreshing intolerance of intolerance and I meet them from all over the world. For example a young Russian girl I know is in a theatre group which is going to present this show.
I remember when I found out that they were remaking the film and that Ansel was playing Tony... My only reaction was: He is literally the PERFECT choice. Because I'd heard his singing voice before and he sounds smooth as butter and just looks perfect in this role. I'd only seen Rachel Zegler through RUclips and was pretty happy to see she got the role of Maria. She is absolutely stunning and her voice is gorgeous. The casting for this film... I don't think it could have been any better tbh
This film will go down in history as one of the greatest films ever made. Box office means nothing. The greatest films were not big at the box office, i.e Citizen Kane, Its A Wonderful Life, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, just to name a few. Time will show that this film will rise to the very top of the film world. When you see it, it will change you forever.
@Henry K. People cried in the theater and later in their own homes when on commercial tv during the 1961 original-Robert Wise directed-Natalie Wood as Maria in brown face-Rita Moreno's Oscar winning performance-film. Spielberg's remake in order to replace the 1961 movie has nothing more going for it over the original. Natalie Wood's natural complexion was darker than Rachel Zegler's, and one again the only person besides DeBose, as a major character, who is actually ethnically Puerto Rican is Rita Moreno. Yes, others had Hispanic heritiage to one degree or another but distinctly not Puerto Rican. The 2021 update of WSS is weak in trying to make this obsessed on point of showing representation
My score when I only watched this clip before I had yet to watch the film was 8/10. And my score when I watched the clip again after watching the film was 100/10.
It seems they left out intro to the song where’s Maria says “only you your the only thing I’ll see forever” and Tony follows with “and for me there is only Maria every site that I see is Maria”. It builds up to the beginning of the song.
@@petticoatsfroufrou4644 oh, that’s good to know. Could not understand why the would leave it out. As a matter of fact they should of used it in the clip.
Yes, he sings literally every song himself that Tony does in this Musical, NO dubbing, NO Autotuning, NO "faking", MUCH of it live!! He IS INCREDIBLE!!
Have not seen but heard the end credits score on SXM. Bernstein’s masterpiece. The score is up there with My Fair Lady and Phantom of the Opera for beautiful themes.
New movie I give 2 stars I didn’t shed a tear when Tony died went home watched original cried my eyes out . Steven Spielberg said he was disappointed in this remake and he also said he didn’t like original. Original received 10 Oscars. This film is lucky to even get nominated. Actors were all great Rita Moreno was the best
Great film, still not as good as original though in my opinion. The choreography was better in the original film that's for sure and a few of the scenes just didn't match up to the original - like the dance floor one, cool it boy one, officer krupke one and America one. Not a bad effort though
@@TothanCrawk I've never seen WST on stage. I only know the original cast recording and the soundtrack and viewing of the '61 film. Both of them had impact, regardless of whether the film's actors were dubbed. The onscreen performances were strong. From what I've seen of the clips for this remake, it may be more realistic, but dramatically overall, far less interesting.
Overdoing the Spanish accent in an English-language song doesn't work in this new WSS. The full consonants are needed to hold the structure of the song together.
I'm sorry. This just doesn't have the soul of the first movie. It looks like somebody's concept of what the first movie should've been but it lacks soul and is definitely not an improvement.
Best reason for not watching it. In German you'd say the voices sound "beliebig". They are nice, but that's it. No character, no real emotion, no expression. Won't waste money for this.
And he's so bland, generic, and has the charisma of a cactus. Like what's so great about him that people want to defend him and automatically assume it's not true. Thought he was overated BEFORE anyone of this news got out
Saw this. An old saying goes: "Never try to copy an original". Here's the proof. So much elaborate work by all departments, for so little effect! Who casted "Maria"? Spielberg himself??? Either he goes blind, or likes ugly women. Well . . .
I hate to say this, but I think the '61 version was better. Ansel Elgort is extremely handsome and "hot". But why, why, why did they have him use that stupid voice of an uneducated dolt? His real voice is not like that. It made me wonder why Maria would want to run off with a cretin who would be too stupid to complete a job application. A new scene not in the original had Tony and Maria going to a museum the day after they met. They sat in the bus like two strangers; there was no chemistry between the two. On the good side, the movie wasn't as woke as I had expected. However, I read that Rachel Zegler (Maria) is an "anti-police activist." That said, I hope her career dies on the vine like this film has at the box office.
I saw it last night and it made me want to puke. The 1961 film was so dynamic, it put all the pieces together in a way that could just never be duplicated. Even if it had always been Spielberg's dream to direct a movie musical, why go for one that wanted no improving? I actually laughed at the subway scene. They're madly in love yet his arm isn't even around her? Also, trucking all the way up to The Cloisters broke the illusion of those "20 bad blocks" comprising the entirety of a very claustrophobic world for all the main characters. If it was that easy for them to hop on a train platform with no one from the neighborhood recognizing them or stopping them or asking where they were all that time, then why didn't they just take off then and there? That was just one of so many very baffling dramatic choices made for the worse.
@@Vesnicie @Snuggles McSquishbottom Look on RUclips at all the mini-documentaries about the making of this drek. Just weeks ago, Spielberg thought he had made another Gone With the Wind or Schindler's List. Turns out it's more along the lines of Howard the Duck or Ishtar. Pride commeth before the fall, Stevie.
I wished this was doing better at the box office. It will make up for it in the nominations process. With that said, the lead actor (Tony) was uncharismatic, not visually stunning, and fell flat. Trying to sell the average-looking Joe as a marvel, and one helluva guy is noble, but can also have its limitations, visually and aesthetically.
WOW, COULDN'T agree LESS with your comment about Tony, Ansel Elgort!!; but to each his own! I personally think he was PHENOMENAL as Tony, looks AND talent, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion! Good Day!
I disagree. I think Zegler's soprano is really quite impressive and certainly has more body and roundness than that of Marni Nixon, who sang the original Maria.
Saw this masterpiece almost a month ago.....still can't get it out of my head.
Read Rita Moreno is 89...she looks amazing now! Can't wait to see this newer version!
Wrong!! (She just turned 90 12/11)
AND SHE IS STILL AMAZING! GO SEE HER!
She is amazing but the film is disappointing…in my opinion there are scenes which are better but overall it’s not a patch on the original…
Amazing
Not only is she a great actress, a superb singer too. Ansel surprises each time
AGREED!!
BOTH are INCREDIBLE and SO believable in their roles, as Tony and Maria!!
You made my world a better place to be thank you for all your efforts and love

Very well said.
I totally agree! It was incredible!
BRILLIANTLY done, ABSOLUTELY STELLAR Movie!!
Agree 1000%!!
What a wonderful movie Spielberg has given us!
This is my favorite movie ever !! And even from Spielberg! Just a fairy tale! There are no emoticons to describe my joy !!!
I know how iconic the original is but this one was really well done.
My heart is literally shining and breaking the first time seeing this masterpiece of a classic scene.
Already seen 3 times. It is just an addiction, perfection.
Totally agree
Its heartbreaking, the way this world destroys what is simple and true , what is pure. Its heartbreaking
Shaky Stevens certainly agrees with that statement. ruclips.net/video/8BnPV9f_Ue4/видео.html
it’s so true

Ladies & Gent's - blink and you'll miss it - this is a classic. Don't miss it. Saw it twice (never done that before).
Saw it; loved it! Some jarring changes but they work! And the dancing, oh, the dancing!

So its not a happy ending ?

Never thought the earlier version could be bettered but my goodness what a great film Well done Mr Spielberg . Rita Moreno was brilliant
I can't wait to see the new version...of this timeless story.. Rita Moreno still looks good for her age.
So beautiful😍
The epic treatment.
This looks very very special.
I hope they didn’t lose the finger clicking Jets part.
Have good one this festive season. 🎄 🎅 🌠

オリジナル版と比較して批評する人が絶対出てくると思った。その人が初めて見たものがオリジナルである限り、どんな作品でもオリジナルを超えられるものはないんだから仕方ない。
だけどスピルバーグは敢えてリメイクをして人種差別問題を強調させた。批判されるとわかっていても伝えたかったメッセージがあったのではないかと思う。
It is fantastic 👏
I can't wait to see it

Absolutely marvellous. Even better than original.
I want to watch it again 😭
can you please show the end, I know if it follows the original, it'll be tragic but I sooo want to see it - Happy holidays : )
pay the money for the ticket and it's all yours.

昔のナタリーウッドのトゥナイト(吹替でしたね)も良かったけれど、こちらもいいですね！
Orquestaciones épicas de película de romanos.
I haven't seen this name: LEONARD BERNSTEIN, the composer. Does anybody remember him?
Loved it as much as original ...only downside for me was that Marie did not sing ...hold my hand song on last scene when he was dying.
Poor Bernstein!
This Film was as Unforgettable and Classic as CATS 2020.
Every bit as exciting as "Cats 2019" with diversity. What's not to love?

Larry Kert and Carol Lawrance have nothing to worry about.
I wish they kept the original key instead of transposing it a whole step down.
You adjust to fit the talent you have.
@@kbf6434 Your catty remark made me laugh!
They could have dubbed it like the original but Marni Nixon is dead.
Same.... but it's the same key as the 1961 version as well. So I'm not too upset about it. They both sound good!
I wish they had chosen entirely different leads.
“Esta Noche. Esta Noche… if you can’t Spanish, don’t bother to see dis Movie”
Bitter Sweet this version can never 👎 replace the original

Who knew Michelle Rodriguez could sing?
Not too much chemistry between these two. Nicely sung, but doesn't come close to the original
"Maria" in this one was very insipid. This is only a little better. Not much. And I wanted to like it.
Ansel has the charisma of a cactus.

So disappointing when growing up with the ORIGINAL. Nobody beats Natalie Wood and Richard Beymer.
Callow & shallow.
