DECLARATION OF WAR ON THE SUPERHERO INCELS!

Go see it. Great flick.

Yes, I was alive then and I'm an adult.

That's never gonna happen

I am not sure what you are trying to say. Are you accusing me of being jealous of Disney's success? Why would asking people to buy tickets for West Side Story be an expression of jealousy toward Disney? They own the film. I don't usually champion anything made by Disney except maybe the 1976 version of Freaky Friday with Jodie Foster and Barbara Harris, but I felt compelled to stand up for West Side Story especially because it was an underdog that has some gloriously beautiful moments that never happen in cinema these days . I actually wept in the movie , always during one of the musical sequences. I wept for the beauty of Leonard Bernstein's score and Stephen Sondheim's lyrics. I wept because ballet is never seen in American films anymore especially not with males.I wept for the dazzling fluid cinematography from Januscz Kaminski that skillfully dances along with the cast. I wept also for the showman Spielberg who has been a childhood hero from my youth onward. He has made the first film of his I connected with in decades. There's great talent on display among these young actors most of whom probably usually work on Broadway. Those pirouettes are real, not something whipped up by a CGI technician. I don't understand why people don't find this fresh for our age since this is not our usual fare at the multiplex. I feel it needs to be supported by people who want to keep culture alive in an age in which juvenalia triumphs through the superhero garbage movies.
