@@Tom-kp2lv That’s even more impressive, though not especially surprising! As far as I’m concerned to call her voice simply angelic would be a disservice…
“I forgot why I called you.” “I’ll wait till you remember.” I LOVE that almost-direct quote from the original text of Romeo & Juliet. Great addition by Tony Kushner.
@capt truth Spielberg forever ❤️ This man looks so nice and humble in every interview or speech, and yet and he made some of the greatest movies ever made
Rachel Zegler and Ansel Elgort's voices are breathtaking! They blend very nice together! I love Ansel's voice when he sings "Always you, every thought I'll ever know, Everywhere I go, You'll be!" at 1:50
The way this just booms in the theater it’s just pure movie magic I couldn’t stop smiling and tears rolled down my face! Ugh 2:55 really gets me the grandeur of it
Literally this scene on the big screen gave me such old Hollywood feels. The set design was perfect. The cinematography was beautiful. The orchestration was true and glorious. No synthetic music. True orchestra magic. This better win and Oscar. Such a wonderful end to all the great musical movies that came out this year. Bravisimi!
Ansel and Rachel's voices are so perfectly matched here. And, wow, the visuals of the new movie make the 1961 version look like they were just filming the stage play. There's nothing like a great-looking movie that is all about design, lighting and sets, not CGI. The movie feels alive, real and vibrant.
Agree with the lovely harmonious voices here! However, for those of us who have watched the original a zillion times, starting as kids, it’ll hold a special irreplaceable part in our hearts. See, sometimes the lack of detailed surroundings allows one’s imagination to develop and really delve deeper into the story and people. Cause it’s not all just provided for us. And, respectfully, I feel the acting was more skilled in the original. Obviously, a vantage point from a different generation here… Sigh. I’ll never ever EVER forget that poignant last scene in the original, breathtaking.
I do not understand why so many critics are bashing Ansel Elgort's performance. I think his Tony is excellent: Beautiful voice, amazing dancer, and if his performance is not as vibrant as some of the other actors it's because his character is more introspective than previous incarnations.
Ugh, I felt that. I literally stayed to hear the epilogue which is always a treat because it is a recap of all the music, a bit of what an overture should be but it waits to the end to give it to us. I literally was crying til the screen fade and even after as I was leaving the theatre and to my car. Got home and listened to the soundtrack as I fell asleep 😄
@@reecejennings9637 well no lol. First weak was 10 mill because of spider man and theatres were still closed so duh it was gonna be low. Now it’s gon up and it’s the most nominated film of 2021 so I would say it’s done amazingly. If you don’t like it move on.
Rachel Zegler in this movie was like an angel, for acting and singing!😍😍 Was born for this role. And this scene was simply WONDERFUL, just like the movie
This was the scene I ticked off 'classic' on my mental movie checklist. I'll never forget the first time i sat in a dark theater and heard these two singing this song to each other.
I’ve seen the film twice, and I highly recommend it. It saddens me that ticket sales have been slow and that in some quarters the film is being called a flop.
I agree. I’ve seen it three times. The film is just so beautiful. And the small group in the theater loved it too and were crying like I with it’s pure beauty. What a film.
When I went to a cineplex to see WSS, I saw a sign advising that the next showing of Spider-Man was sold out. There were only a handful of people enjoying WSS.
Only you You're the only thing I'll see Forever In my eyes In my words And in everything I do Nothing else but you Ever And there's nothing for me but Maria Every sight that I see is Maria Tony Tony Only you Every thought I'll ever know Everywhere I go you'll be All the world is only you and me Tonight Tonight It all began tonight I saw you and the world went away Tonight Tonight There's only you tonight What you are What you do What you say Today All day I had the feeling a miracle would happen I know now I was right For here you are And what was just a world is a star Tonight Tonight Tonight The world is full of light With suns and moons all over the place Tonight Tonight The world is wild and bright going mad shooting sparks into space Today the world was just an address A place for me to live in No better than alright But here you are And what was just a world is a star Tonight
One thing I haven't seen anyone talk about yet is how Maria answers with "Tony, Tony". And although it's a simple thing, we have this after Tony praises her name in a whole song and he sings a small part of Maria in this song. So it's really nice how they made Maria sound so careful with Tony's name, while Tony literally shouts about Maria everywhere he can.
I can't stop listening to this and honestly I can sleep with this playing! Both Ansel Elgort's and Rachel Zegler's have ANGELIC softness to their voices that made this by far, the BEST West Side Story rendition! Please watch West Side Story 2021!
I just finished watching this version on Disney+ and I had all the feels and felt the chemistry from these two. I felt the love between Tony and Maria. The original was great but this version stands on its own. I dont cry easily but i did at the ending. RIP Tony.
Saw this for the 4th time today in a really great theater with an awesome big screen and powerful sound system... it was amazing! I love it more every time I see it. My husband doesn't like musicals and won't see it with me... I feel he is really missing out on classic Spielberg on the big screen. This movie is spellbinding.
This will bring a whole new generation of fans into the mix and into the joy of West Side Story. Both versions are wonderful. The new version I notice has a wee bit too much auto-tune electronic assistance for and Ansel elgort's voice. I think his voice is good enough that he did not need much assistance. Still very enjoyable. A lot of people still do not know that it was not Natalie Wood and Richard beymer's voice that we heard singing all the songs but rather hired professional singers. At least with the new version they use the real actors voices to my knowledge. This play has deep meaning for me. I played Chino in West Side Story when I was in high school and my ex-girlfriend played one of the Jets. She and I are both Caucasian. Brings back a lot of enjoyable memories. Enjoy the movie everybody it looks wonderful and looks like a labor of love from Steven Spielberg.
Thank goodness I'm not the only one to notice the auto-tuning - I was beginning to wonder if I was going mad when no one mentioned it. Both voices are 100% auto-tuned throughout. They're both right on the note right through every note. It's not natural, it's not human and I don't like it. It takes so much of the character away from voices. They sound artificial and "digital". I guess auto-tune has just become so ubiquitous these days that people think singing voices really sound like that. I grew up in the pre-digital, analogue age, so I know what voices really sound like. Listen to the original or the Bernstein re-recording and you'll hear this music as it should be heard - real voices with all their beautiful human "imperfections".
It's like these Instagram filters everyone uses on their selfies to make themselves look better - pretty soon you can end up thinking people really look like that. It's just the same with singing - even if it's "live", they can digitally "enhance" the voices in all sorts of ways afterwards - and because they can do it, they do do it.
He is my biggest star of this century and I thank him. He is heartfelt, he is talented! His role in "The Goldfinch" made this film better for me than it was a book. This is my favorite movie role from him ! And for me was he the biggest star in "West Side Story" (his Tony like me more then first Tony) and because of him, I went to the movie 10 times and cried every time when Tony died !
I just saw the movie this evening (well technically last night since I’m writing this after midnight) and as they were leading into this song, I thought to myself “Okay remake, if you can only get one song done phenomenally well, let it be THIS ONE!” It definitely did my favorite WSS song justice!
This is song is beautiful I listen to this song and it made me fall asleep and I hear the full soundtrack and it's so awesome and musical it made me cry Truly beautiful
Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim, Arthur Laurents, & Jerome Robbins. They gifted the world with one of the greatest musicals of all time. May they rest in piece, and may their memory be a blessing
In my book, the memorable film of 2021. Great score and wonderful cast. Worth multiple visits. This song, this score, yes, Bernstein just nails it. Beautiful.
The magical touch and vision of the great Master of film Mr. Spielberg given to this timeless story, and ever so up to date in our world of today 2021 is astounding to say the least! Thank you my great DIRECTOR a "presente" to us in these pandemic days! Viva!
Elgort is an amazing Tony. I always found the character boring and I just hated him in the 1961 version, but here he was my favorite character of the remake, because of the actor. He played flawlessly all along
The cancel culture mob who can’t enjoy the movie and are on various ‘me too’ vendettas (not saying their right or wrong… but just pointing out their tirade on Ansel Elgort and Spielberg)
This was better than the original, as this was live compared to the original in which they were dubbed, whereas in here its their voices and they both sound amazing.
Actually these guys weren't live live. No movie musical does this except les mis. These guys however did a prerecording but, they didn't used a dubbed version they used the actual actor's voices. They did a really good job.
@@edgarperez7141 I’m sure award season is gonna be phenomenal for the movie and then there’ll be more screenings. But saw it a 5th in the meantime ☺️ This movie is some kind of a happy place even though it’s a drama...
I’m forever grateful that my high school peers and I got to have an entire marching band theme based on West Side Story back in 2013. I was a freshman in HS. My first marching band experience and IT WAS WEST SIDE STORY! Loved it. So much fun. I’m 25 now and still watch our show and this movie every now and then. It was…life changing for me. I love it
The original 1961 version's best number was America. But for the remake, I gotta roll with Tonight. Also, does Ansel Elgort take up climbing as a hobby? He's good at that.
A lot of great films disappoint at the box office. The Wizard of Oz, Citizen Kane, Willy Wonka, Blade Runner, The Thing, Reservoir Dogs, Fight Club, Blade Runner 2049, First Man, to name a few. But they're like wine. They get more appreciation with age.
@@JustPippaNY You’re absolutely right, but we’re talking about a Steven Spielberg picture in 2021. Orson Welles was a 25yo rookie director in 1941; Quentin Tarantino was 29yo rookie director in 1992; David Fincher had only directed one terrific movie before Fight Club (Se7en; Alien³ was not memorable and The Game was awful). What's more, West Side Story is a well-known Broadway classic for over 60 years. I don't understand this box office failure
@@asterisco9035 there's also the matter of the global pandemic still going on. A lot of my friends have expressed interest in seeing the film, but are still hesitant to go out.
@@JustPippaNY I respectfully disagree. The pandemic did not deter people from going to watch Spider-Man: No Way Home that has grossed very well all over the world, not just in the US. Specularly, Spielberg’s West Side Story grossed little worldwide
@@asterisco9035 Yeah it's really sad. Really anything that wasn't an action blockbuster this year got screwed, and even then so did some of those movies.

Right from “only you” at the start, I was in 7th heaven!
i got chills before she even started :))))))))))
I know, she had me at "only you" as well. Just perfect.

I am a huge theater and movie musical fan. It seems a rarity were actual singers are picked. She sounds absolutely amazing
Spielberg loved the stage musical. Of course he wanted actual singers.
I'm more a fan of stage musicals than film musicals. But i could not agree more
I just came back from the theaters from seeing this masterpiece and I can’t stop crying-as a musical theater kid I’m in pain-
I understand this movie unlocked my earliest memories of this in third grade that was my Romeo and Juliet with music

Like same after I saw this I cried for so long
Their voices are literally so clean and clear, it’s like floating on clouds oh my god 😍😍😍

Beautiful voices!
I LOVE the musical transition from Only You into Tonight( Leonard Bernstein lives on and on and on).
Just hearing this. Just wonderful. Sounds just like the original. Love it
Very very good ❤
Beautiful!
Okay...here's my upcoming Snow White
as she should be
The original 1961 version's best number was America.
But for the remake, I gotta roll with Tonight.
Also, does Ansel Elgort take up climbing as a hobby? He's good at that.
He said in an interview that he loves climbing
I kind of fell in love with Officer Krupke this time. The song, not the officer.
Please Keep making movies mr. Spielberg!
You should watch the Fabelmans. He can still tell a story
It’s very sad that a world cinema masterpiece like this went wrong at the box office
A lot of great films disappoint at the box office. The Wizard of Oz, Citizen Kane, Willy Wonka, Blade Runner, The Thing, Reservoir Dogs, Fight Club, Blade Runner 2049, First Man, to name a few. But they're like wine. They get more appreciation with age.
@@JustPippaNY You’re absolutely right, but we’re talking about a Steven Spielberg picture in 2021. Orson Welles was a 25yo rookie director in 1941; Quentin Tarantino was 29yo rookie director in 1992; David Fincher had only directed one terrific movie before Fight Club (Se7en; Alien³ was not memorable and The Game was awful). What's more, West Side Story is a well-known Broadway classic for over 60 years. I don't understand this box office failure
@@asterisco9035 there's also the matter of the global pandemic still going on. A lot of my friends have expressed interest in seeing the film, but are still hesitant to go out.
@@JustPippaNY I respectfully disagree. The pandemic did not deter people from going to watch Spider-Man: No Way Home that has grossed very well all over the world, not just in the US. Specularly, Spielberg’s West Side Story grossed little worldwide
@@asterisco9035 Yeah it's really sad. Really anything that wasn't an action blockbuster this year got screwed, and even then so did some of those movies.
RACHEL YOU BETTA SANG GURL!!!
ANSEL!!! SANG BOY SANG!!!
BOTH OF Y'ALL SANG BEFORE I THROW MY PHONE AT YOU!!
Wonderful
“And there's nothing for me but Maria,
Every sight that I see is Maria.”
