West Side Story



The film West Side Story is an adaptation of the Broadway musical of the same name that was also adapted from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.  The difference ? In West Side Story, the enemies are two New York City  gang (bandas) : the white Jets , led by Riff and the Puerto Rican sharks, led by Bernardo. Both gangs hate each other viscerally. The problem arises (surge) when Tony (Richard Beymer) , Riff's best friend and a former (anteriormente) Jet, and Bernardo's younger sister (Natalie Wood) meet at a dance and fall crazily in love...
West Side Story is one of America's most relevant films. It was considered "culturally significant" by the United States Linbrary of Congress. It is the musical film with most Academy Award wins ( 10 Oscars), including Best Film. The score and soundtrack was originally written by conductor (director de orquesta) and composer  Leonard Bernstein, one of America's most successful musicians.
