West Side story breaks my heart. I cant watch any version without weeping for their love and its hopelessness, Spielberg did justice to this masterpiece, i just am addicted to both versions, there are not the words…young love.

0:54the music so beautiful always makes me smile

I don't know why but I just love the close up on their face when the other one is caressing their face.
And I don't know why, but I've also really liked that simple 'I love you' from Tony

[Alana.is.a.Golden]

My favorite scene in the 2021 version which we absolutely loved ❤️

[agenttheater]

This is in dedication to this movie, not to put it down - if you don't get the reference to this song, watch Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 'Romeo and Juliet' movie:
"What is a youth, impetuous fire
What is a maid, ice and desire
The world wags on
A rose will bloom, it then will fade
So dies a youth, so dies the fairest maid.
Comes a time when one sweet smile
Has its season for a while
Then love's in love with me.
Some will think only to marry
Others will tease and tarry
Mine is the very best parry
Cupid he rules us all
Caper the caper, sing me the song
Death will come soon to hush us along
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall
Love is a pastime that never will pall
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall
Cupid he rules us all
A rose will bloom, it then will fade
So dies a youth, so dies the fairest maid."

WHY? Freaking why, does every clip of this scene cut the singularly most powerful lyric from this scene?
"Good night, good night. Sleep well, and when you dream ... dream of me. Tonight!"

My own storyline
Tony walks
His head looks up and see at the sky

5:02 Tony(Richard Beymer) : I love you

He hears a voice

Maria(Natalie Wood): Yes

Natalie Wood is in the sky with the other WSS stars

Rest in Peace, Natalie.

Wall-E watches “Hello Dolly, ” but I watch this.

[maximumstef]

As nice as this sense is just remember these two just met and there already talking about getting married.

[elizabethramirezsierra]

Tony sees Maria on the fire escape after the dance.

[B_Sue_E]

If possible please consider adding subtitles, English, French, and especially Korean or more....so others can enjoy these epic musicals🎶

[jameslaumand]

I liked to know where the blooper footage of three stooges, hmmmm

[dirkluchtman]

Beautiful scene, but Spielberg's version definitely tops this in terms of cinematic prowess; I was completely swept sway buy it. Also the voices of Tony and Maria match better in the new version in my opinion. If anything, I am grateful for the new version so that amazing soundtrack gets a refresher.
