I think most people know “West Side Story”. It’s not only a film but also a famous melodrama in Broadway, the musical play just on National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall in Taipei last year. I’m very disappointed that I couldn’t go… Anyway, “West Side Story” is one of my favorite musical films!
It’s directed by Jerome Robbins and Robert Wise, the story of film is about two groups from different countries both want to occupy same place in west side of America. Why refer this film to musical film? Because music all over in that! In that film, all characters are singing and dancing anytime even then they are fighting, walking, talking, sleeping… etc. The characters enjoy that movies’ every actions, I think they won’t feel tired even then dancing few hours.
I love music, so I love musical film, too. I guess that director hopes every audiences focus not only on story but also the characters interpretation. I think watching musical film just like enjoying the musical show :)
