West Side Story – The Story
Manhattan, Upper West Side, 1957. Against the backdrop of the decaying tenements in the San Juan Hill neighbourhood and the constant threat of the wrecking ball, two warring gangs (tough Riff’s Jets and swaggering Bernardo’s Puerto Rican Sharks) fight for supremacy. Now, with a once-and-for-all, winner-takes-all rumble on the cards, an unexpected whirlwind romance at the high-school dance between former Jet brawler Tony and Bernardo’s delicate little sister María sets the stage for an all-out turf war. But what’s a gang without its territory? Above all, when the future is uncertain, what’s hope without love? (From IMDB)
Directed by Steven Spielberg, West Side Story is one of the protagonists at the Academy Awards and Golden Globes 2022. It won 50 awards, 276 nominations and 7 Oscars Nominations. Not bad at all, and it becomes a must-watch title.
