西城故事2021

This is a West Side Story for both the past and present, as pleasing as the best movie musicals used to be, and as relevant as today’s headlines. It makes you feel like you are actually on the turbulent streets of New York’s west side, not a sound stage.

有名的美国音乐剧《西区故事》1957年演出，到现在已经65年了，它的有名唱段听过多次，全剧则一直没有看过，今天发现它原来也是个改编得还不错的纽约版《罗密欧与朱丽叶》。它肯定是46年出生的美国大导演斯皮尔伯格少年时期的“崇拜记忆”，74岁了还亲自操刀将其再次搬上大银幕！完全打破舞台局限，实景、大调度、大场面，运镜、组接都很有现代感，漂亮好看。主演演员明星气质不够，影响了票房和口碑，但它终究是过去时代的一个文化坐标，值得记录与观看。

Spielberg and Kaminski have enjoyed a fruitful collaboration for decades, but their work on West Side Story brings the partnership to breathtakingly poetic expressive heights.
