what a wonderful surprise of 2021 my godss
- I won't lie, when I heard that Spielberg was going to direct this musical I was afraid it would be a complete disaster, that's because I'm only used to Spielberg's side in Lincoln, Jaws, Shindler's List and saving private ryan, the melodragon, baby.. ..so when I was directing I was intrigued that I hadn't seen him in this kind of film
- the choreography, the songs reinvented in new voices, the lighting, the colors from the movie, the choreographiesssss EVERYTHING ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! Is the 1961 classic a classic?? without a doubt, but here we have a quality remake that knows how to do justice to its primary work.
- about the acting I NEED to mention Mike Faist (who had not won me over on the Panic series) who left me completely attracted to his Riff, Ariana DeBose as Anita is sensational, she is extremely competent in bringing a character to life already so well played in 1961 by Rita Moreno, David Alvarez is a Bernardo much better and more fun than the one in 1961 and Rachel Zegler is beautiful beautiful beautiful like Maria... Ansel, despite bringing a Tony with a predominantly sweeter side, passionate and doesn't show so much his ''gang leader'' side, badboy etc... I really loved to see him completely surrendered to his heart and his love
- I was completely in love with this new version and how it became necessary 10\10 without fear of being happy
