      I know that Maria's dress had to be the iconic white with red belt. But she looks a little out of place with all the Puerto Rican girls in bright colors. She looks like she's going to her first commuion, instead of a dance. Just saying. I know the point was to make her character stand out.

    I like that Chino gets a much broader role here. We can see the fire banked underneath his seemingly milquetoast exterior and his willingness to engage with the others and Maria after an initial hesitation. It marks the signs of his growing aggression and explains his willingness to turn to violence later in the film.

      I love both films for totally different reasons. I love the new version due to the points you mentioned plus the more street like choreo by Justin Peck making it more attached to a blue collar working class reality.
      Love the 1961 version due to Robbins’ unmatched ballet/gymnastic synchronised to the inch type choreo an Wise’s wide shot framing showing the entire group of dancers head to tow like you’re watching the play taking place in front of you on stage.
      Spielberg chose to put the camera inside the dance number making it more intense and immersive. Two different styles, two different results. Love both!

Earlier, when Bernardo and Riff bump into each other and both gangs fight, the girls are trying to pull the boys back. I like Krupke’s line “What the matter with you guys? Pretty girls wanting to dance and all you can think of is to beat up each other!” And later in dance at the gym, Grazi mentions that she just wanted to dance.

In the original, when Maria and Tony meet together, the background just fades to black with dancers in the background but in this they're behind the bleachers...IT MAKES SENSE!

      Realism is overrated in musicals. In what "reality" do people suddenly break into song and dance? In the original, the background fading to black is meant to illustrate how the entire world seems to fade away as these two young people discover each other and fall in love. It was metaphorical rather than realistic and, in a musical setting, that is perfectly acceptable.

      I agree. I'm a huge fan of the 1961 movie, but Jerome Robbins had been fired before the Dance at the Gym sequence was shot and it suffered without his intense direction. The wide angle shot lost energy. The active camera in the 2021 film bringing the viewer in and through the dancers really added energy.

      It was criminally ignored and fought against, at least at the box office. Especially by the loud old head voices of: “tHe 1961 vErSiOn is IcOniC aNd CaNnOt be ToUcHed nO rEaSoN fOr A rEmAkE!!”
      First of all there’s no such thing as a remake when it comes to musicals or theatrical plays. And that was the 2nd film adaptation. Let’s not talk about how many film adaptations we have of Romeo & Juliet, Pinocchio, Christmas Carol, The Great Gatsby, Phantom Of The Opera, Chicago, Cinderella, Les Miserables, Wizard Of Oz etc. And no one bats an eyelid.
      Second of all it gave a different more street and lifelike (less ballet like, less theatrical) take of the story, a totally different framework, which as a huge fan of the 1961 Wise version I loved it. It wasn’t better, it was DIFFERENT. Spielberg wanted a different flavour of the story and he NAILED IT, almost (the end was anticlimactic). The choreography was more grounded, the characters more layered, more relatable to normal street/gang characters and far more blue collar-rough patched (lees dreamy college buttered pimples face) looking.
      The reason the film flopped was because musicals (except for animation) are way past due for our times, was released during the end of the pandemic, people (mostly old heads) would constantly hold on to nostalgia of the 1961 version and kept bushing it. Despite all that it managed to receive 7 academy award nominations and enormous critical acclaim by the majority of the critics and the few who saw it (score on RT). It will never be as iconic as Wise’s version but IMHO stands right by side it on almost all counts.

Russ in '61 stepped out first to form the circle but gave Gratzi a "get over here" head gesture where as Faist stepped out second and was a gentleman by extending his hand to Gratzi. I also love the dance Faist did @6:20 was very similar to a dance Russ did in '61. Faist's dancing abilities are similar to those of Kelly and Astaire and his facial expressions add to the greatness of his movements. I'm extremely shocked he didn't win an Oscar for "Best Male Supporting Actor."
