Rachel Zegler & the Cast of 'West Side Story' On Steven Spielberg's Remake | Around the Table
/ ew
Mike owned the role of Riff in this. Despite his character's issues, he was charismatic, terrifying and believable.
Well put.
Absolutely agree - it’s a fantastic cast but he acts everyone else off the set
He was totally the best thing about the movie... not to take anything away from the rest of the cast!
He was excellent, his character issues including, very charismatic, but he wasn't terrifying or believable...for a real punk, no, not at all, but nevertheless a charismatic player who very much influences and makes the film.
I wish I was in that Movie
I was blown AWAY by this movie. This cast is a force to be reckoned with.
Have you even seen the movie?
@@sandraromero6601 Yes lol, and they were very good
I’ve watched it twice this week 😁
@@sandraromero6601 yup. Oscar worthy
Interesting to hear people who pretend for a living pontificating on these matters! Pure word vomit!
6:14 Luego no te quejes cuando la gente de LATAM te coja la mala por estas vainas que dices 🤦🏻♂️😒
Lo mejor es la cara de Rita, Ariadna, David, Mike... 🤣🤣🤣 ciertamente Ariadna y David pudieron soportarla únicamente porque lo profesionales que son.
They were all amazing - this is a brilliant production and Ansel did nothing wrong -on any level-beautiful voice - well done
Unfortunately, we don’t know for sure that he’s innocent
In the movie, I think Ansel did a good job. However, there are allegations against him that are unsavory and definitely shouldn’t be taken lightly. We don’t know for sure if all of them are true, but it still does not mean we shouldn’t hold him accountable. The allegations came out after the movie was already filmed.
All the cast is Amazing
This cast is amazing!!! Loved the movie so much
Loved the movie....great job!
4:57, 6:08, 10:49, 13:29*, 14:36, 18:24, 19:21, 22:42*, 26:12
Westside story was one of the most heartbreaking things for me shows movies for me because of Tony dying because there’s a movie called The fault in our stars and he dies in that one to but also me being a Latina young woman things that are happening hang in that movie and it’s still happening today like he is nothing that you can change but like it’s j
I liked Tony and Maria in this movie, and Anita, probably will get a the Oscar.
I love this new one, but overall, still the original is better to me,
and I miss Jerome Robinson's choreograph .
Steven Spielberg's version left me thinking no no no please no more remakes.
Aww everyone thinking they were the weakest link!!! And only Ansel was right 😊
You mean Ansel?
The only one miscast here is Ansel Vanilla Elgort.
I thought he was good in the movie
@@joewhitehead3 ya mate ur under just about every comment section defending him
@@jaysmacks9669 What are you talking about?
A new West Side Story:
1. Good idea to have Rita Marino inserted into the Steven Spielberg script of *West Side Story*
2. Best Actress role for Oscar nomination for Spielberg's version will be Maria (Rachel Zegler) and then Anita (Ariana DeBose) for supporting Oscar nomination. I think Rachel Zegler's acting for Maria, was better than Natalie Wood in Robert's Wise production.
3. Second choice for best supporting actress: Rita Marino. (yes again)
4. I did not like any of the character actors choice for either the Jets or Sharks in this Spielberg version.
5. I did not like the first act of the Spielberg version as much as the Robert Wise version, but the second act of Spielberg's version made up for the 1st act's shortcomings. Spielberg's first act of his movie was too, too, dark.
6. My choice for which movie was better would be the flawless *1st* West Side Story. Robert Wise was the better Director in this for the 1st Movie version of the play. However the second act of Spielberg's version made tears come from my eyes, but don't tell anybody as I don't want my manhood questioned.
7. In the first movie the Jet gang gave respect for the little girl playing on the ground and walked around her play area. In the Spielberg version the Jets ripped up the little girls artwork on the ground. I could not get behind the Jets after that.
8. The dance scenes in both versions were equally good.
9. Spielberg claimed he did not want to copy the first, Robert Wise version, however he did in the opening. In the first, Wise version, we have an aerial shot flying over Manhattan, in Spielberg's version we have an aerial shot flying over the demolished section of the gang area with same intro music.
10. Spielberg's version of West Side Story, should be nominated for *Best Picture* Oscar this year, however from the *WOKE* Hollywood, they might choose another low budget foreign movie made with no whites in it, that nobody will see, for diversity's sake. Then that will remind me of Marxist Korean movie (looked like a college student made film) winning Best Picture over "1917" a real professional movie. And like Spielberg's movie, "Saving Private Ryan" that didn't win Best Picture, which it should have, over that terrible love movie, again, that nobody saw.
11. Why couldn't Spielberg use any other race besides Puerto Rican? That was a racist decision on WOKE Spielberg. High class acting is art, that a great actor could pull it off. Spielberg now denies race to play any role unless they are the same race of the character portrayed? This is a slam in the face of all actors. Example, he could have used actors from any South American country as long as they looked Puerto Rican. Come on man! Spielberg trying to be WOKE is a racist to all other promising actors.
13. What was this freak dark character tranny character that used to be a tom boy girl in the Robert Wise motive? We could see in the Robert Wise movie that this was a tom boy girl. However in this movie, we don't know who this scary creature from hell was in Spielberg's version. Spielberg was again trying to be WOKE by picking a tranny freak character from this years 2021 to by making the LGBTQ people happy. That demonic freak character was a bust.
Hold on…. Spielberg wanting to cast Puerto Rican people to play Puerto Rican characters is NOT a smack in the face to all colors. It’s a story about a certain group of people and that certain group of people SHOULD play them. Especially when it’s their story to tell. Not only that but MOST of the cast isn’t even Puerto Rican. Rachel is Colombian. The sharks are played by LATINX people so that argument you just made is invalid. I just think if you’re writing a story or telling a story about certain people… the people it’s about SHOULD play these parts. Being an actor is stepping in other peoples shoes BUT if you’re playing a BIPOC character and you’re not BIPOC then you shouldn’t step into their shoes. It’s not your place.
I miss when men went to the war and died instead of making transphobic remarks in a comment about a movie musical :)
@@Hotdamnitsvel I will accept this argument. - The veteran.
@@bobbyrobby3600 just because you’re a veteran doesn’t make you better. Yes thank you for your service but geez you legit come on here being racist and transphobic and now act like a victim? Classic
What are ranting about? Your precious Rachel Zeigler is Colombian. “Woke” Speilberg did exactly what you asked.
And what do you think a Tom boy in the 1950s was? This musical was written by two gay men, both closeted at the time. They knew exactly what they were doing when they wrote Anybodys into the script.
Move along.
Best movie I’ve seen in a long time.
I would LOVE to have more Rachel/Mike action. It seems like they get along so well and their voices together would be lovely!
Yeah it be great to see Rita moreno
No it wouldn’t
It would I agree with you!
@@greatoffersdaily5756 lol wtf
1 hand 1 heart should have been sung by Tony and Msrie though though
6:14 of course it matters. Ethnicity it's not only about genetics, it's mostly about culture. How can you be latin if you never experienced latin's culture? That doesn't makes sense.
I say this being latina myself
Not everyone has the same ressources, abilities and possibilities. That does not make them any less latin than someone who knows or has experienced more. Just because you don’t speak the language or don’t eat the food or don’t live around other Latin people does not change how you were born and where you come from. Instead of saying these people are not the same as you, teach them and understand them and their circumstances but do not deny someone’s roots and rights.
@@maya432 ser Latino não é sobre genética, não é algo que você herda. É como uma nacionalidade, da mesma forma que eu não posso me chamar de Europeu porque eu tenho ascendência italiana. Ela que tem o privilégio de ter nascido e vivido a vida toda nos Estados unidos, sem saber nem 10% da experiência Latina de verdade
@maya432 "the language"... this just shows how much she does not know about the CULTURES. We don't speak a language, we speak many languages. You think being latino is an ethnicity but, actually, being latino IS a culture, not a skin tone, not your appearance. Again, her approach shows how little she knows about it, and that's enough to know that she's AMERICAN.
@@maya432déjame adivinar… no hablas ni español o portugués, no naciste, creciste, vives o visitas latinoamerica… no conoces las costumbres y tradiciones del lugar al que dices pertenecer.., pero lo mas importante, no conoces las luchas, los problemas de nosotros los latinoamericanos… si no cumples los requisitos NO eres latino
The way David, Ansel, Rachel, Mike and specially Ariana look at Rita when she talks, that admiration, respect , love truly is beautiful to see. 😍
So do you believe those words?
@@sandraromero6601 what do you mean lmao? I truly don’t believe you’ve seen the film
Rachel was a great discovery! Can’t believe this is her 1st feature film. She’s so charismatic and eloquent in interviews, too. Ariana DeBose shines in every scene she’s in. Amazing movie!
Rachel has been acting since age 7 or earlier so it a pro.
@@jenniferwise8515 She hasn't acted since she's 7, she started singing very early though and starred in school musicals.
DeBose practically stole the film,she stole every scene she was in.
Absolutely she was great
This comment did not age well at all
11:21 Wow Mike singlehandedly said “Yup, Riff and Tony are fruity, what are you gonna do about it?” And I love him for that
The energy between Riff and Bernardo in the first fight as well
Like...are we entirely sure Tony and Maria are the heart warming lovers lmao
He didn’t even say that
@@carolineauckerman3333 he totally did
Mercutio has spoken
right finally someone says it!! WSS is extremely fruity and no one can change my mind
What do you mean it doesn't matter if you speak the language or eat the food? What is culture to you? just a skin color? latino is not a race, it is a culture, of course our language and our food matters. We get all of these american people with absolutely no respect for our culture pretend to be latino and everyone claps while no one acknowledges how they are appropriating our culture. Why do you respect native american culture, indian culture, but not all of the different cultures that make latin america? why do you think you can just pretend? This is terrible and honestly I'm surprised people are not pointing it out.
perdón, seguro hablás español xd ni idea por qué te respondí en inglés
omgggg me borraron el comentario donde la bardeaba!!!! youtube careta
en resumen te respondí que rachel era yanki, y por lo tanto una idi*ta (lo censuro porque se ve que a youtube no le gustan los insultos) pero me borraron el comentario💀💀💀. completamente de acuerdo con vos hermana
Concordo!!!
She’s saying you don’t HAVE to speak the language or eat the food in order to still be proud of your roots, which is true.
6:14 This production made such a big deal of being "the first authentic retelling of West Side Story"... but then cast a group of people playing Puerto Rican but who can't speak Spanish conversationally. Language is an important part of culture that allows for understanding and the passing of traditions. Yes, it is possible to pass down traditions even if you can't speak the language fluently, but in order to fully understand the meaning, significance, and nuances behind the stories and traditions passed down--language is the bridge. They didn't even provide any Spanish interviews in the press junkets for this movie... so my question: Who was this for?
that's not true. Many Sharks are fluent in Spanish.
Rachel has the most beautiful voice. Mike Faist is so talented and much better looking in real life than he is in this film. And I see a grownup David Alvarez and I feel so old. I remember when he was a cute and fiercely talented little Billy Elliot on Broadway not to mention a budding ballet dancer competing in YAGP.
Arianna is a mind-blowing triple threat and is such a wonderful role model for aspiring black actresses, Latina actresses and actresses who are both. And she's so polished and sophisticated.
This group of young people is so talented and they make me so happy.
As a latino, I'll say nothing about their conversation but I do have strong opinions about it...
6:11 a AUDÁCIA em falar q não importa saber a língua ou experimentar a comida pra ser considerada latina, ser latina não é uma personalidade que vc usa pra conseguir um papel. Espero q ela tenha mudado esse pensamento burro.
She won’t change … look up 🆙 “NPD “ narcissistic personality disorder. 😮 100 💯
Most ppl think NPD they mistake with Malignant NPD. Like snappy angry . 😤
But classic ones r Smart / into singing dancing 💃🏻arts sports police , rich . High achieving but they don’t use those skill to connect but to think others r beneath them .
Mike Faist's face at 15:11 is an actual representation of all of us looking at Rachel after the movie. And she seems like such a great person too!
Oh my god, this comment section is cringe gold
@@soriba391 no it aint
@@lauren6992 it is indeed
6:14 yes it matters
Ariana DeBose caught my heart with her dancing and passion. Rachel is a doll and sings like an angel. The guys were perfect as both menacing and empathetic. The thing I admire most is the "kids" playing their icons, and giving it a totally fresh interpretation. Remember ow many people said, you can't re-film WSS.
This movie was so good. My new obsession. Cant wait to see it streaming on Disney+ and other places. It’s gonna bring so much happiness.
It’s gonna be streaming on Disney+? That’s amazing! I’m gonna watch literally every single day
My new obsession too! I listen to the soundtrack & rewatch the cast interviews (like this one) every single day/nite!!! LUV Ansel!!! 🥰😍🥰
Rachel no es latina, y si, importa si hablas el lenguaje y comes la comida latina. Ser latina es justamente haberte criado con creencias y tradiciones de algún país de latinoamérica. Ella nunca va a saber lo que es ser juzgado por ser de latino, su opinión siempre va a ser "más importante" para el mundo por el simple hecho de donde nació y su cultura estadounidense.
Algo que he notado es que muchos estadounidenses sienten que tienen que ser de otra cultura o estar en alguna minoría a la fuerza porque creen que los hacen más relevantes
She's literally Latina...
@@krustomer No lo es, no habla el idioma y es más gr¡nga que McDonald's
@@krustomer Ana de Armas, Salma Hayek, Anya Taylor Joy and Zoe Saldana are real Latinas, Rachel is just a gringa who makes a fool of herself and doesn't represent us at all.
She can't even read this comment without the translator.
When they make the movie version of the Broadway musical "Memphis" they should cast Arianna Dubose and Mike Faist as the leads with Spielberg directing.
Omg their chemistry would be off the charts, imagine the dance sequences
Unfortunately, I did not watch the original West Side Story. My first introduction to WSS was from Glee. This is the second version I’ve seen and I loved it. Riff just took the spotlight for me. I love Rachel Zegler. Her voice is phenomenal and I would love to see more of her singing.
I might watch the original West Side Story, but I tend to watch the remakes before the originals, and most of the time I like the remakes more.
Rachel is basically 19 but her mind is older.
Hamilton reference?
20 to be exact
Watched the movie on the last day of 2021, completely blown away...One of the best ones of 2021! Just look at this group of talented people who bring such vitality, diversity, joy and incredible performances on the big screen. I especially loved Mike's performance as Riff. This interview is so fun to watch too!
A whole lot of nothing is what i heard... a whole lot of fluff and filler with no real substance... i can understand Rita Moreno's story BUT these young actors who yell racism dont know what it is...they always go looking to the past without realizing they havent felt racism...they have been privileged all this time...not only am i the one who wrote this...i am also an hispanic😂
I thought Mike Faist was fantastic is Riff.
It was a fantastic retelling of a beloved musical! Ansel and Rachel were heart wrenching and wonderful together as well as the supporting characters. Of course, Rita Moreno was amazing too!
I loved David bringing in that point about Tybolt! Every character's back story was improved in this.
I really loved the scene with Tony and the Jets with the holes in the floor and the gun, fantastic sharp and terrifying all at the same time. I hope they get so many awards for this performance.
Favorite part. With the song “Cool” 🎵🎵🎵
Yeah, "Cool" seems to be an overlooked masterpiece in the movie.
me too!
It was so extremly attractive omg I fell for them
I loved it too. Stephen Spieldberg "fixed" for me the scenes I used to scroll through in the 60's film version like "Officer Krumpke" and "Cool". I was squealing with excitement when I saw it for the first time.
It’s quite simply an amazing movie.
Understatement.
@@NiGiff hell yeah
riff is the best character......mike is charismatic, handsome and amazing
Anita... is the best character
I hope someday Hollywood casts latin people for latin roles🥱

They actually made cast in latinamerica I think but like always, an american came, they apropiated the therm, and there they are now
Ariana's face everytime Ansel speaks 😂
David Alvarez is the bass player of this group interview, keeping to himself lol There's always that one person that doesn't get as much time to share
I guess others are just talkative
When you don't know what to say, is it better to keep silent .
This movie has truly blown me away
I absolutely love Mike Faist he is so talented and funny
A brilliantly done movie! Bravo to the cast, the crew and Mr. Spielberg! 👏👏👏🎶🎬🎶🤣🤣🤣
This cast is incredible. There is so much love and respect there, which showed in the movie as well.
This movie really is a tremendous and overwhelmingly moving piece of cinematic art!!
This movie made me breakdown in tears. The best movie i have ever seen. I cannot describe the emotions i felt. I just cant. Beautiful casting UGH SO GOOD
11:17 lmao i love this cast
“I’m just saying, you’re in the way.” 😂
I watched this 2 nights ago on IMAX. It was PHENOMENAL!
Rita Moreno the embodiment of generosity, grace, experience, dang girl. She's sitting there, about 90 years old listening to and admiring/congratulating a woman literally 70 years younger in Maria/Rachel. And the others actors too. They're all earnestly describing the decades-ago conditions/scenarios they're back-storied-with, with Rita an actual person experiencing the reality.
DAVID ALVAREZZZZ
Mike is spectacular as Riff. I'm spellbounded and I can watch him for hoursss!!
same happens to me with Ariadna/Anita and David/Bernardo
Overhyped movie. Can we for once get an actual Latine-led movie that’s not a musical and has an actual Latine director?
YES!! Like… Apparently the protagonist does absolutely nothing to contribute to our culture or people. Boring movie, the latin women portrayed as dumb as it could and the script completely nonsense… I just don’t know…
The insight we learn from listening to the cast talk among themselves is important to understand on a deeper level what it was like to make a movie like WSS 2021…. The months of rehearsals to learn and perfect the dance numbers was no easy task. The entire cast is brilliant. I project a successful future for all of them. Thus far, I watched the movie three times.
What a phenomenally thoughtful group of actors. This is such a beautiful piece of work that will be with us for a long time. (Side note: I love that Ariana and Rita are wearing the same thing they wore in the ABC interview - obviously a long day of press, making their eloquence all the more remarkable).
Each person seems so humble and yet so well spoken and passionate about the story. They all seem like great people.
google ansel elgort and see what comes up. what a great dude
@@ashleypaige5907 I wasn't eben talking about him. I know there were allegations made about him. I still think the rest of the cast was great.
Although we don't know if it's true, so for now he's innocent until proven guilty
@@ashleypaige5907 You don’t even know him though
@@joewhitehead3 Neither do you
Me and Rita Moreno are gonna go sit in the Corner as the two members of the ansel as Tony fan club.
There's 3. I'm also in your corner.
i'm in your corner too!
Me too🤣
Huh?
This is definitely the best version! The way they've added bits to the story to make more sense of it like Tony going to jail, and having gone out with Graziella who's now Riff's girl -and add a modern touch- there were even references to what's going on today (like Tony telling Maria that he was 'in freefall off the tallest building -think 9/11- until he met her, and the police ordering a lockdown-nuff said!) and Anybodys being transgender instead of a tomboy, and a reason for the feud (their neighbourhood being knocked down to build homes for the rich). I really loved this version of 'America' where it turned into a street carnival and showed how life could be without racism. Also the fact that Rachel sang her own songs instead of another singer, as in the original, was better, And bringing Rita Moreno back as Doc's Puerto Rican widow really worked, especially having her sing 'Somewhere'- and the fact that she too loved an American, and would have hoped to see Maria and Tony marrying and the gangs becoming mates.
Writing the script took Tony Kushner 5 years. The script was finished even before the pandemic, so this line is such a sad coincidence. Loved this new adaptation and I hope it will win a lot of awards.
D'you mean Tony and Graziella's relationship wasn't in the original? That makes the new version amazing! First time I watched it I missed it when they mentioned Tony and Graziella's relationship, but spotted it in Graziella's eyes when she saw Tony at the gym, just two seconds and her eyes told their stories without words. Beautiful!
The original version was the best hands-down!
I think the original version was better but this was also excellent I love both of them original and Stephen Spielberg's Wedy side story❤
Great remake with a great cast directed by the great Steven Spielberg.
I hate the negative reviews ansel elgort is getting he was great in the role and I feel honestly that critics are being smug and over analyzing his performance because he is the most high profiled among the cast
i think compared to everyone else…. bc everyone else was LITERALLY flawless, he’s easy to pick apart.
He's still great tho
He did a fine job as did the rest of the cast!
I don’t understand the mike love. The jets were forgettable.
hes getting negative reviews because he has multiple sexual assault and grooming allegations. not because he is high profile
I hope the movie wins an Oscar and that Steven Spielberg (best director) and Rachel Zegler also win Oscars!!
Ariana’s outfit is so great! Lol Anita dressed as Maria
Who rewarched the 1961 version again after watched this 2021 version? 🙋♀️😊
The movie was absolutely incredible!!!!
I remember watching West Side Story (1961 film). My 7th grade class did the Play. I was chosen to do Maria out of 22 girls. It was awesome. Standing Ovation was the best part😉
I was completely spellbound while watching the film....wow, what a film......this is one of he best films I have seen in last 3/4 years. Loved all the performers..... saw the heavenly spark in Tony's eyes when he first expressed his love for Maria..... I salute the master story teller called Steven Spielberg .....
Her head is sooo big...
Rachel
she has a smaller then average head wym.. mine must be the size of a watermelon then
Beautiful cast or talented actors!
This was my first time watching West Side Story FULLY and not just scenes of the musical numbers. I knew the story was inspired by Romeo and Juliette and addressed racial problems (even though those who made it were racist/prejudice in their methods), but I had never sat down and watched the film or seen the musical. I must say while it did clearly show the racial problems but the main plot at the forefront was Maria and Tony’s love story. I hate their love story and don’t understand how people look at them as this romantic couple, same thing with R&J. At first it was cute but it moved so fast and then towards the end I hated Maria, Tony, the candy shop lady, Riff (as a character), the Jets, and just everyone. How can you love someone that killed your brother and even sleep with them just minutes after the crime, and then want to runaway with them?! Like I wanted to slap Maria five times!! That being said the Anita character stole the show for me because she was the only thing keeping me from not turning off the TV (and Riff). Ariana did such a wonderful job with this role because for people like me who did not grow up watching the musical or studying it we very easily could have hated the storyline of the musical. Anita, Riff, the choreography, and music really carried this music for the general public.
All of them are so talented!
I loved the scene in the police station.
I loved this interview so much
You guys deserve so much love you are amazing and you guys are amazing 🤩
EDIT: just realized I said amazing twice lol 😂 you deserve both of them! :)
It's really refreshing watching West Side Story because I didn't know any of these actors, so my focus was all on dance and costume and songs, and then I look them up and amazed to learn that most of them were on big screen for the very first time!
Majority are from Broadway (stage actors). Incredible talent.
Rita Moreno is a legend, Ansel is an A lister, the rest are mostly Broadway actors, Rachel is a newcomer
David Alvarez is up in here like 'dude im too hungover for this'
I can't wait to see this. I never seen the original. Although I don't know any of them besides Ansel the cast looks amazing. Ansel fine as hell. I didn't know he sings. And the other guy in white shirt is cute
you should always see originals 1st. so you know were the movie came from. to watch the brilliant actors of a 5 star movie before you were born.
@@kcorpora1 I know of the movie west side story I just never seen it. And yes i know this is a remake of the original
@@ibstayfly cool
@@ibstayfly it’s technically not a remake it’s a new adaptation of the original Broadway musical 😊😊
the guy in the white shirt is mike faist!! he was also in newsies and dear evan hansen, i love him so much
im so mad that they're not actually around a table on this one
I love riff
Anyone notice how eloquent the ladies were compared to the dudes 😎
Okay but I love that all the Jets bought every woman on set a rose! That is the sweetest thing I think I have ever heard!
If this film is ripe for do agains, I would like to know how Anita felt after she was solely responsible for causing the death of Tony?
I feel like Anita would consider it justice. Bernardo killed Riff, Tony killed Bernardo, Chino killed Tony…and Chino goes to jail. The question is what Anita and Maria will do now.
Rachel is so well spoken
being well spoken isn't automatically reserved for white folks only ya know lol. You wouldn't be saying that to mike or any of their white counterparts. Stop with the inherent racism and bias please.
@@lovepower4899 i'm latina myself lol! I'm just saying this because I'm her age and she seems so much more mature and well spoken than me and my friends
@@lovepower4899 what on earth???? Get a grip. YOU are being racist. Seriously. The comment was not "she's so well spoken for a latino". Lord, can't we all stop being so OFFENDED???? You're LOOKING for a reason to be angry.
@@itsjubslm shes not latina, latino is not a race but a culture, she didnt grew up here, shes so ignorant about it !!
Why didn't they bring Russ Tamblyn for a cameo role?
Russ Tamblyn and Richard Beymer both visited the set. It doesn't appear that George Chakiris got to visit, though.
The actor who played the role of "Tiger" of the Jets from the 1961 movie had a cameo role in this movie. You could see him in the "America" scene.
Russ was great!
After seeing the ads and hearing Rachel's singing voice, I was drawn to watch this movie. I have to admit the role of Anita played by Ariana DeBose was magnificent. Ariana's acting, dancing, and singing was incredible! Although it was an amazing group of talent, Ariana DeBose shined.
That is the best thing, (and possibly the only thing) I live about the new movie. It is real people playing the real parts they were supposed to play. Not a bunch of white people in dark makeup, and the amount of Spanglish in the movie is fab. The direction was weird lol.
Such amazing performers and then there’s Ansel
I- I felt he didn't do terrible but was just outshined by everyone else. He was great! But everyone else was phenomenal
Why am I just realizing that Ariana was the bullet in Hamilton 💀
THATS WHY SHE LOOKS SO FAMILIAR
God bless you all , Jesus loves you all only he can save u repent and turn from your sins and accept Jesus as Lord and saviour and you will be saved. He is the only way to eternal life in heaven once you pass away its too late . ❤✝️🙌
....
I found the choreography in the first West Side Story was far more incredible that the latest.
Well the first choreography was old Hollywood.
I thought the new one was fine, even great for the most part. Except for America. They cut so much choreography from that number, and Ariana DeBose is such a mindblowing dancer, it just felt like a missed opportunity to me.

At 90, Rita has had incredible facework. Would love to know who her surgeon is.
that's a cheap shot, but probably true. on second thought some who have facework look like crap, ie. Madonna
@@DonQwantsyou it might not actually be negative! (Although it's likely it's just a low blow) but if she did get work done I could not tell! If I decided I wanted surgery I would want a surgeon like hers! People honestly shouldn't be ashamed of plastic surgery (do what makes you feel confident)
Brown don’t break down. And black don’t crack. 😉
Does it matter? Good nay GREAT QUATE from rz.
crazy how weve all brushed ansels multiple grooming and assault allegations under the rug for this movie. hollywood is so hypocritical.
I feel he’s been no where for this movie’s press aside from this interview. None of the cast tags him or posts about him, he hasn’t been in many other interviews, etc. In fact, even in this interview there seems to be tension between him and others.
he was miscast as Tony
You are all great...
Rita picking her teeth at 12:40...🫣
I felt Maria and Tony's big moment meeting at the dance fell flat but the rest of the film was outstanding.
*So nice to finally see a Polish woman get a chance to play Maria in West Side Story!*
Ah, this was fun to watch, you can just tell that everyone put passion into this! ^-^
Did they watch the 1961 West Side story
i’m sure they did! rita moreno was anita in that version!
They all did. In all the interviews, they all mentioned how they've always aspired to play a character in the musical when they were younger.
