Two casts of two incredible film adaptations of the same musical unite as one in this supercut of the 1961 (Robert Wise/Jerome Robbins) and 2021 (Steven Spielberg) versions of the "Tonight Quintet" from "West Side Story," brought to cinematic life by Russ Tamblyn, George Chakiris, Rita Moreno, Richard Beymer (dubbed by Jimmy Bryant) and Natalie Wood (dubbed by Marni Nixon) in the '61 film, and Mike Faist, David Alvarez, Ariana DeBose, Ansel Elgort and Rachel Zegler in the '21 film, along with both versions' Jets and Sharks respectively.
Watch my other WSS supercuts here:
• "America" - West Side ... (America)
• "I Feel Pretty" - West... (I Feel Pretty)
• "Tonight (Balcony Scen... (Tonight - Balcony Scene)
• "Dance at the Gym" (Ma... (Dance at the Gym - Mambo)

I just realized something about this song, when Tony says "Tonight there will be no morning star." He's right because he dies that night and never sees the sun again.

I usually don't like "super cuts" especially when it comes to material that I love and know very well. But your editing is beyond excellent (on both this video and "America"). No performance or lyric or note of music was sacrificed. Well done.

@@thefirstbourne149 not the character but the representation of her character in that scene from the 61 version was insulting. The hypersexualized Latina trope is tiring. I loved how suddenly human Ariana DeBose’s portrayal was after all the violence of the rumble. After mostly showing her fierce, admirable personality and beauty, Spielberg showed her as an human being that goes through so many emotions, which is rare to see when it’s a woman of colour at the centre of the movie.

You don't need to apologize for Rita Moreno--being brilliant, beautiful, sexy, and magnetic is not, repeat not, dehumanizing. The creators of the original film knew what they were doing when they cast her. And that doesn't mean I don't think Ariana DeBose is magnificent; she is. Rita Moreno couldn't be "awkward" if she tried. Phooey on the "competition." They're both winners.

@allonszenfantsjones 2 жыл бұрын

Hang on, folks: Rita HERSELF was not happy with the choices made for her--the make-up, the phony accent (esp. in her over-dubbed Boy Like That), but men were in charge, so...I think having ground-breakers like Kushner involved in the current version must have helped. Maybe I was too young to get it in the '60s, but I wept through the Spielberg one.

What's unique is how "America" in the remake was brightened up, while the original was mostly dark with blacks, purples, and deep reds. Yet, for "Tonight", the remake switched from BRIGHT reds to more dark blues. Instead of police light hues, he goes for smoke and shadows.

These super cuts do the one thing most needed, and that is to compare two absolutely perfect films. I liked the street ballet so much in 1960, but the Jets in 2021 are just ugly street thugs. They truly represent the power of organized hate. The Sharks do little better, but are somehow more human. The orchestral performances are full, loud, and the voices are support. Arianna DeBoise was worthy successor to her goddess, RitaMoreno. Mike Feist was at the top of his character. All the vocalists were amazing.

The operatic Deutsche Gramophone recording from 1985 that Bernstein did with Kiri TeKanawa, Jose Carreras, Tatiana Troyanos, et al, is one of the BEST recordings ever, PERIOD. Such talent! The documentary is even better. I had the unique privilege of seeing Marni Nixon perform at my Alma mater in the '70s. OMG, I remember it to this day. Lenny was a bloody genius and I truly hope that Bradley Cooper will do him justice in the new film.

Tribute to this "re-imagining" aka as "remake" of the immortal WSS. Steven Spielberg nailed this. The music execution & choreography has never been better, the message never more clear for the ages. The characters and storied setting are so much more three dimensional. I have watched and loved the original film probably at least a 100 times or more given my 60+ years on the planet. It is dark, it is gritty, the singing is adequate, it was also trite at times, it is the best there was. I'll probably never watch that version again. Bravo maestro Spielberg!
