To be honest, it's a bit far-fetched to get a five-star rating for this film. People who have seen this film will feel: everything in this film is very general; I think: the only thing that stands out is the dance in the film, neither Gene Kelly nor Michael Jackson's dance can match the film. Compare. Furthermore, the film also contains various elements such as love and racism. I think it's no accident that it won the ten Oscars that year; let's praise this musical film with respect to the Oscars.

    The scheduling, photography, dancing, and great color! ! ! Although it is mainly about silly love stories, and other social issues have been brought to light (especially unfortunately the "tomboy" girls are not developed), but...my eyes have received full visual enjoyment! ! ! What more bike!

    I finally finished watching it, the song is really good, I have listened to OBC for several years and still love it! Rita Marino's Anita is the most outstanding, whether it is the domineering look when singing America, or the stubborn tears after being humiliated by Jets, they all make people feel very substituting. Riff is second, when it's ruthless, it's ruthless, and when it's cheap, it's cheap enough. I really like the part where he and Jets sing Gee, Officer Krupke, so cute! On the contrary, I have the least feelings for Tony and Maria. Natalie Wood is beautiful, but I always feel that these two characters can't stand up. It is the story of Romeo and Juliet, but many details of the plot are still very stupid, such as inexplicable love at first sight, two people fighting and being stabbed to death by a knife, not a drop of blood after being shot, showing love before death, etc. The choreography is very beautiful. My favorite is the part of America on the roof. It's very bright and beautiful, and it's so beautiful! This film is definitely more suitable for the stage. I can imagine how good the musical will be. I hope to have the opportunity to watch the scene in the future.
