West Side Story (1961)

First, why did not one tell me about the EPIC dance fighting in this movie?

Another movie that I might have responded to differently if I had seen it when I was younger.

But today? Really, Maria? You dance half a dance with some dude and suddenly you're so in love with him that you forgive him for murdering your brother? Like so quickly!

The character I most identified with in this movie was Doc. "Why do you kids like there's a war on?"

I really enjoyed seeing Rita Moreno as Anita. I've been watching 'One Day at a Time," and love her in it. She was wonderful in this and I think Anita was a much more interesting role than Maria. I also thought the role of Riff was more interesting than the role of Tony. Maybe I just don't believe in love at first sight?
