Ansel Elgort & Rachel Zegler's 'West Side Story' Auditions Took a Year | SiriusXM
• Ansel Elgort & Rachel ...
This movie does not dishonor the original but is like being reacquainted with an old friend who awaits you with open arms and after spending time with them you realize your love is even stronger now. It was like watching the original on steroids. Words can't describe my feelings for this picture. This was like Hollywood back in my day with a musical at its best. And in Dolby it was pure Heaven. Loved it!
Beautifully said.
This is exactly how i felt and i must have cried at the beginning of 3 songs from the emotion of seeing it done so lovely again.
This wasn't mean to be like the original, it's meant to capture the source material in a way Spielberg view it. So it's not a remake, it's readapting the show
Such a beautiful cast. Such chemistry and energy.
@Remy Buxaplenty I thought he was an awesome Tony and apparently so did Sir Steven Speilberg.
@@liljade53 They're trying to sell the movie. Why would Spielberg say he was bad
@@crystalenergy7904 why would he be cast if he was bad?
@@crystalenergy7904 all I know is, I was so convinced of his absolute love of Maria, that I was cringing when Valentina was about to tell him she was dead. That's good acting.
@@liljade53 Because he was a bigger name (at the time) and a heartthrob with a theater background. I can bet there were so many people who auditioned for Tony that were far more talented
rachel is so well spoken
Incredible job. I can't believe they improved on the original, but the singing, acting, filming, all of it was so good. Highly recommend this movie.
Ariana and Rachel are headed for superstardom.
This is a cast of talented actors. They are young so we will see a lot of them.
Just watched this movie and it was great!!!. I enjoyed the original West Side Story and this New Version from one of my favorite produces Steven Spielberg was definitely not disappointing. Living in New York in the 60s in the South Bronx it brought about a lot of memories as I remember playing stick ball in a dead end street, between several 6 story buildings and using the parked vehicle fenders and bumpers as baseball bases. The soft balls bouncing off the tall 6 story structures as we would run at full speed to catch the ball before it dropped to the floor, sometimes we would dangerously launching over obstacles to make the catch(DOM LOL) but fun. I want to give the movie a plus as there were no Spanish Captions on screen when the actors spoke in Spanish(WOW). The actors Latino NY PR cultural genre was of what I remember growing up hearing with friends and family, that almost made it feel a private joke for those in the audience like myself that spoke both English and Spanish and understood the comical language that was used at the time (60s and 70s). Fell in love Rachel Zegler a mix Hispanic actress and soon to be a "STAR"... The movie was funny , entertaining, romantic and full of energy. Would definitely recommend to see. (A+)
rachel is a star
Rachel berry?🤣
Such a amazing cast and great movie! Ansel surprised me, I expected him to be meh, and he was one of the greatest highlights of the movie.
google his name and find multiple assault and grooming allegations too.
@@ashleypaige5907 Fake
@@marxaa1 source plz?
@@marxaa1 2 weeks later and no source was given. Maybe your opinion isnt the truth
@@ashleypaige5907 Maybe I don’t have ur time
She’s gorgeous too
The way Ariana is side eyeing Ansel anytime he interacted with Rachel is the women supporting women energy I love about this cast
That’s......a lot of projection and assumption
@@lonellfletcher only 5% of rape allegations are proven to be false - almost no one is faslely accused of rape. the statistics strongly suggest he is guilty.
@@lily_0291 and suggestion is proof obviously.
I'm a male, but it seems like the fact that they're all doing press with him probably means that they know more than we do.
@@anthonymartensen3164 No, it means that they don't want the movie to tank so they're sweeping the allegations under the rug while promoting. We'll probably eventually hear otherwise from the cast once they're not under contract to promote the movie
I wonder who are the other actors who auditioned for Tony? Thomas Doherty admitted he auditioned for Riff
@Remy Buxaplenty nah ansel is a better actor.
Ryan McCartan said he got really far in the process for Tony
@Remy Buxaplenty Tony's background is supposed to be Polish-Irish. Cipriano looks very Italian, not at all Polish nor Irish.
@@katybarrett4283 i think Ryan was talking about the broadway revival though where he almost got the part, was he up for the movie role as well?
@@maryvallettakeith6146 Ansel's acting was so convincing I dreaded Valentina revealing that Maria was dead. His reaction broke my heart!
wished the volume of the dialog wasn't so low considering each person in the room is holding a mic.
Those shoes, that dress... omg, I just have to say...!!!
Mike Faist 😍😍😍😍
I wonder how they’re handling the elephant in the room…
?
@Alexis pretty sure it haven't been proven that he SA the girl that accused him of it? She were 17 and he were 20. Thats not a big age gap and completely normal in almost every countinents except America
@@mariegjertinsenseljeb8039 So its not normal in America, where it happened, got it
@@crystalenergy7904 People in America are really caught up in age gaps. For example 16 and 18. Thats not a big age gap and there's nothing wrong with relationships between 16 and 18 year olds, but in America it seems like it is horrible or dangerous
@@mariegjertinsenseljeb8039 But he was 20 not 18. Lmfao
Let Ansel allow himself to do better!
involved the movie amazing
Ansel shouldn’t be allowed to be apart of the press tour, especially after the allegations that came out about him last year.
@Toño Hdz What a blatant lie this is. That never happened and she never said that. Did you read this on Facebook or something?
@Toño Hdz you literally are lying for no reason
@@crystalenergy7904 no he’s just lying in hopes that bc people don’t fact check stuff they hear online that we’ll just be fed these lies and spread it some more.
@Toño Hdz LMAO💀
@Toño Hdz A relationship? The girl was underage WTF are u talking about? And she never did a statement such as the one u mention. Plus, there was plenty of other underage girls this Ansel had an unappropriated approach with.
Can I just say I love West Side Story and everything but the video is 3.14 long. Thank u math
Ansel is always sweetheart
So now assaulting a minor girl is being a "sweetheart"? Funny.
Ansel has such a sweet looking face he's so handsome
tell that to Gabby
And that fake persona of him helped him to take advantage of minor girls.
Rachel looks a little like AOC.
Iconic film. However still frustrated at a few things being a Mexican American. Like 1: Why does a Latin girl not get a happy ending?
2: Why was the division and hatred and killing one another not addressed at the end of the film?
3: Why is the main white male character still portrayed as a hero, who even though he KILLS a brown man, his sister still continues to love him and ignore this fact?
Idk bout you all pero this all still irks me. The hate and division is never addressed. The only great part in my opinion, was seeing Rita Moreno's character as Victoria who was trying to help BOTH sides.
The division and hatred was addressed throughout the film, especially in the end. When Maria takes the gun and says that she can kill them all now that she has hate, she's calling them all out for taking away everything she loved with their hateful ways. It's subtle, but you can tell that both sides get it after it's too late. That's why both gangs comfort her and help carry Tony away. And although her ending is tragic, I still think it's better than Romeo and Juliet
@@143yese I don't like however that she says she has hate now too.... Like the evil of the world just seeps into her once innocent soul.....
It's sad. A Latin girl needs a happy ending, positive representation matters too.
@@qtasabutton21 yes, but that's not what this story is about. It's about hate and what a world full of it can do to someone with hope. This story was never meant to have a happy ending, that's not what it's about. If she and Tony ended up happy the entire meaning and message of the story would be completely different. It's still great representation to me, because a lot of immigrants do come to America with hopeful hearts and end up broken. But I completely agree with you that Hollywood movies lack Latino representation. And if a Latina is in a film she almost never has a happy ending or much development. I would love to see more of that in films, but I don't think it would have worked in this movie
@@143yese I get that's what this story is about, my point here is that we need to keep putting pressure on this narrative of tragic not worthwhile love that will get you killed. With the Latin girl always comparing herself (the scene of "I feel Pretty") to the ideal idea of white woman beauty. The more we buy into this narrative of a tragic, hate filled, not a happy ending type of films for Latinos this will continue to be the representation we will continue to get. It is not okay. To be okay with it.
Rather instilling confidence in our girls in our community is so very important. It's not okay IMO of this film for her to disregard this white boy killing her brother and then the scene still comes up that she decides to still love him and even sleep with him all because she "loves" him.
Do you not clearly see the white superior complex message sent here? It's saying it's okay for latin girls to not have value just because they love. It's interesting and important to pay attention to films in the far more subtle messages they send that catch the attention of all angles for the audience. I also dislike that Steven Spielberg is given so much praise, he continues to be a white man in the film industry. Why are we not pushing more Latin directors to direct a happy ending film for Latino girls to see? We need to push for positive, accurate, loving, inclusive representation too.
Not just tragic Romeo Juliet, guns, violence, narrative. Latin communities have so much more to offer than that. And it starts with changing THAT narrative about us in the films we watch, the music we listen to as well.
@@qtasabutton21 Who the flying fuck gets pissed off at a film based on a Musical that is over 60 years old?! “Oh times are changing”. IT WAS WRITTEN IN THE LATE FUCKING 50s! THE FUCK DO YOU EXPECT?! Ridiculous.
He’s too old to play that role or she’s too young
You can see the age difference
yeah
He looks young to me she just looks super young bc she’s so small. Like she could play a 16yo and I’d believe ir
@@taiyonatiare7918 probably because she’s 18 and landed the role when she was 17
@@lverslane820 I know that 💀 I’m just saying he doesn’t look old he only looks older in comparison to her smarty pants
@@taiyonatiare7918 lmao i get it
All that and he is still bad in the movie
Really? He’s no Mike Faist but I preferred his acting to the original Tony’s acting 💀
What was bad about him specifically?
@@joewhitehead3 when he was good in anything? hes just white, thats why he still getting roles, dont bother defending him, hollywood is already doing, no new. lol
@@thatrandomcomment968 So you’ve seen all his movies then & you can spot talent?
@@thatrandomcomment968 when he was good in anything? Did you bother to watch Baby Driver or The Fault In Our Star? He was terrific in both movies and here he was great as Tony
So she’s always been awful. K.
