West Side Story a review by sébastien

1/a small review

In West Side Story you can see the similarities betweem Romeo & Juliet if you know the story. Now I know that is similar I think it's same story tell differently. But the film is too long because it's musical and in a musical there are a lot of songs which makes the film too long. All the same I think it's the most famous musical all over the world. I believe sometimes the songs come out of the blue and it isn't appropriate. On the one hand if you d'ont know the story of Romeo & Juliet the end is predictable. On the other hand if one don't know the story of Romeo & Juliet it is a fantastic story

2/similarities and differences between WSS and R&J

The most important difference is the era but if it would be at the same era it would be the same thing. There are a lot of similarities. On the hand the two houses or gangs and in every families there are a person who falls in love a other person in the rival gang. On the other hand there are the messanger who can't tell the really message just a part of the message wich kill Romeo or Tony. What is more in every story a couple were met at a party of the girl's gang or family. More over
