West side Story

     This musical is compassionate yet violent.  I love the contradicting themes throughout this movie.  I never did feel that this movie was written based on a biased view of latinos because it was also wrote on a biased view of white "punks."  This evens it out, as well as the fact that Maria is a very common name, and a cute one for such a cute face.  The emotion shown throughout the acting in this movie is superb.  Not once did I feel that I was just hearing lines being read off of a piece of paper, in fact I felt like these words were actually coming from the characters heart.  This script along with the chosen group of actors was fantastic, and I do not think it could be done better.  Give this movie 10 out of 10 gang members in a fight.
