The fact that Anita can sing a song praising her new home, do a dance that celebrates her heritage, and shit talk her boyfriend, all at the same time, is why she is the absolute queen.

SO TRUE. America's only great if you're white. That's why there haven't been countless millions of black doctors, lawyers, congressmen, scientists, astronauts, CEO's, entrepreneurs, athletes or entertainers in the last 50 years. And, I mean, everybody knows the only things Latinos ever accomplish in America is landscaping and sweeping up hair. Right? That's your point, right? It's only whites that succeed; the millions of successful minorities that make up the backbone of the country; that never happened. Like the song says. Got it!

First it was the Irish, then the Germans, then the Middle Eastern Jews and Christians and then .... and then. It seems like there is a inherent tendency for people to reject someone "not like them." What a shame. The best lessons I learned in life were from people in this country who were "not like me." Our wealth has been built on the backs of eager immigrants who want a better life AND on their children who succeeded beyond anyone's imagination. I was a first generation American born in this country to Russian immigrants and every day I thank the universe my parent were brave enough to break all their family ties and move here. Most of the family left behind died at the battle of Stalingrad in WW II.

I work customer service and have a Spanish accent, it's really annoying when some customers bring it up. Some will say, what country are you in? Or "can you transfer me to someone who speaks English?" even though I speak English fluently and I'm in the US. Having an accent makes me feel like an outsider so I've been trying really hard to get rid of it!

I'm not sure if it was scripted or a genuine reaction from the cleverness of the line and delivery, but the way that Chakiris smiles defeatedly and appreciatively at the "You forget I'm in America" line exemplifies the respect and mutual admiration that they had as a couple.

From somebody who studed Film Production and who also knows play version well, I disagree. The play is FAR better than the film--they did not capture the electric, spastic, energy of the play (starting with a bland Tony), and I have always wished for a proper remake that capture the play better, so I am hopeful for the new version. As for Best Film Musical, "Cabaret' and "Oliver!" are much better 'Films" (forget the source material, just As A Film) than WSS, which is uneven.

For me I think what makes this movie adaptation so great is probably the camera work. The cinematography is part of the choreography, whereas on stage ur just looking at all the dancers all at once.

It is also the editing. If you examine the cuts closely frame-by-frame, you will notice some of the cuts are from two entirely different takes.

I'm reading all the comments and all I'm thinking......Is that as young child when I saw this movie and this scene, was how I could not take my eyes off the dancing. I never really paid attention or cared what they were singing. West Side Story has always been my all time favorite musical!! The movie, singing, dancing, acting!!! As a young girl my dream was to be a back up dancer on Broadway so that some day I could be in West Side Story. It never happened for me. I did have a cousin who went for his dreams and was a back up dancer for Rita Moreno for some time a few years ago in her performing through out the country. And a granddaughter won the lead of Maria in West Side Story in her High School of Arts in Austin!! Winning allocates for her acting performance and her voice!!! I was so proud, honored and so excited to see her perform!!! For I was the fist one she called to tell when she got the part!!!

hi Chris, it was. Me, 15y old seeing it on the big screen, my first film in english and not understanding a word, but it impressed me so much that I bought the LP the next day, which I still have! And I went to London as au-pair when I turned 18, to learn the language to understand it better. And much more afterwards :o)). For me one of the best films ever made. And the music is Timeless! HAIR impressed me as much.

@@SP-se3zf Consider the time that the musical is set in. Absolutely, men are in the role of breadwinner and provider, women being courted before settling into a homemaking role. This reflects in what the characters singing about. The male characters all sing about the difficulties of their working lives. The female characters don't sing at all about their work, even if, presumably, they have jobs. Not one of the women is career focused, and they wouldn't be expected to be. This is not a slight, it's just how it was.
