In fact, there are not many musicals that have been put on the screen with tragic endings and won unlimited awards. Bai Yang said that people in China have a happy complex, and Mr. Zhu Guangqian said in Psychology of Tragedy that what is really unforgettable and exciting is not laughter, but a sad ending. Musicals with songs and dances were originally cheerful, but they just cried in Qiong Yao style. People who disagree don't, but they also make addicts addicted. I don't like Qiong Yao at all. I only get confused when I look at her. I like west side story very much.

I won't elaborate on the content of the film, but I will have an impression after watching it. It is divorced from tradition, but it is different from tradition. Some people compare it to Romeo and Juliet, which cannot be said to be inappropriate, but it is also inaccurate, because the theme of west side story is obviously more humanistic, broader and more "Zheng Zhihua". The love between Romeo and Juliet took place in two feuding families, and the main line was love. The spark of love here has burned two gangs from different countries, and love is the introduction. In my opinion, its theme is completely understandable: the cultural conflict between native Americans and immigrants, and the exclusion and integration of immigrants in the American dream.

Too much talk, but it doesn't matter. I wrote it for myself. You can play it as if there is nothing to see, or you can play it without looking.

When it comes to the American dream, we have to mention Benjamin Franklin, the founding father of the United States. As a model of the American dream, he implanted the core part of American culture, freedom, autonomy and self-help, into the hearts of every American. His autobiography can even be summed up as a core, that is, the verification of his sentence: "God helps those who help themselves." Stimulated by the American dream, from the end of 19 to the beginning of the 20th century, the third immigration climax appeared in the United States. People from all over the world gather in this bustling and expensive place to dig for treasures, but few people are bound to compete for food, just like two gangsters defending their "territory" in the movie. For another example, the Sacco Vanzetti case, which was talked about by sociologists and historians in American history, seems to have been unreasonably denied and vilified by the "native class" who opposed immigration. America in the early 20th century was not the "Three People's Principles" it is now. It also has many problems, but it is never a bad thing to expose problems in an immature period. Innovation cannot be accomplished by a few people with statistical books. No one can listen without shouting, no one can talk about change without listening. People still think that we need to change, because they have an American dream that is not afraid of tossing.

Immigrants have created America, because it is an immigrant country, and immigrants have made its politics, economy and culture. Since the arrival of the first immigrants in 1620, the original Indian culture in that continent has been gradually destroyed. Now American culture is a unified culture reached after the collision and integration of all ethnic groups. But as said at the beginning, once any culture or group forms an interest group, it will naturally exclude foreign people and cultures, just like the immigration exclusion in the United States at the end of 19. Although it finally returned to rationality, the immigration policy has implemented economic quotas or complete control. This is not a question of tolerance, but an instinctive maintenance like someone slaps you in the face and pretends that you will subconsciously tilt your head or block it. In the movie, two gangs fight to be the boss of the site, from abuse to abuse, and finally meet each other with a knife and a gun, which makes people die unsatisfied and then repent. What does it matter if the boss is not the boss? Puerto Ricans and Americans can get married, and Americans and Americans can naturally live in peace. The vivid language of the film appropriately shows the process of this cultural collision and the director's beautiful expectations. Although it seems that the director's expectations have been dashed from the attack on Afghanistan and Iraq behind the United States, let's put aside political interests. Can a single country, an intellectual, an artist and a film director become a country if they don't even have the courage to look forward to it?

A common and ironic phenomenon is that it is actually necessary to die to resolve the opposition and let bygones be bygones. I think when the contradiction intensifies, I will be beaten to death, but when the fish dies or the net is broken, I find that the so-called boss, dignity, interests and leadership are insignificant, that is, aggressive and aggressive.

But not all death is beneficial. The death of Sacco and Vanzetti contributed to the increasingly open and fair American law. Tony in the film is nirvana, but it has contributed to the reconciliation between the two factions. I don't know when I can toss something that nobody needs to toss again.

I've heard a lot about you a long time ago, but I'm scared because I've only seen a few dance clips. I finally saw it at the club yesterday, but I realized another wish.

I used to think this movie was too literary. Those dances may be excellent, but I'm not interested at all. It turned out that I was wrong. The film must be watched from beginning to end in one breath, otherwise it will cause the misunderstanding of "too elegant". The dance in it is really exaggerated, but there is no doubt that its expression technique is in place and its emotions are expressed thoroughly. No matter the awkward dance in the ballroom, the minuet dance between Tony and Maria, or the funny dance that later mocked Ji Krupke and today's society, it was impressive. So that in the middle of the film, a classmate next to me couldn't help asking me, who is the director of this play? Jerome Robbins, the choreographer of "The Violinist on the Roof" and "The King and I".

Bernstein's name can be said to be resounding. It has long been known that this man has a high position in classical music, and the music civilians who listen to musicals can only look up to him. But surprisingly, I like the music in the west side very much. The songs in the West District are naturally different from ordinary pop music, but just like the dance in this play, they depict the emotional waves of the characters in detail. Sometimes romantic, sometimes unruly. At the beginning, the confrontation between the Jets and the Sharks, the enthusiasm of the two sides in the dance competition at the dance, and the charm of Maria … Every song is so appropriate. Especially in the dance part, from passionate dance to the dance of Tony and Maria, then Tony sang his love for Maria. The whole process is perfect and beautiful, and people have to sigh the magic of love.

Finally, let me talk about Sondheim's lyrics. I didn't pay much attention to the lyrics during the whole process, probably because it was very appropriate. What impressed me deeply was a passage by Maria:

Maria, say it out loud

There is music playing.

Speak softly

It's almost like praying

Maria ....

The most beautiful voice I have ever heard.

Maria ....

I don't know any actors in the movie version [forgive my ignorance], but their performances left a deep impression on me, especially Tony, Maria and Reeve.

This film can really be considered as one of the more elegant musicals. Although it is a popular singing method, the handling of music is full of classical playing skills and subtlety, which is a rare masterpiece.
