West Side Story 1961
The last movie musical I saw was Cats. This was stories above it.
I’ve always had a distaste for movie musicals because they often fall short in making me feel the way that a good live theater performance does. The sound doesn’t fill the space in the same way, and the solos lose a lot of their authenticity and character in post production.
West Side Story was different. I can’t pinpoint the reasons just yet but it was just a really emotional ride.
I also really appreciate the lack of subtitles. It was a conscious choice to not make one language inferior to the other.
