Such a great lesson in how a text can deconstruct itself—especially when Tony Kushner and Spielberg are there to help it along. Thanks for bringing such clarity, honesty and insight to your work. (I’d love to see you discuss Assassins one of these days)

Ugh amazing
I adored this one. I’ve always felt uncomfortable with west side story and the remake made me want to vom the whole time so it’s good to finally know why. What a terrible lesson about romance this story has for people don’t think critically about it. You should not be ok with racism even if you are in love with a racist.

This is a really good video, so unfortunately the only addition I have to it is to force you to know about the video of Cher doing West Side Story where she sings all the parts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLq6k6Ckafg

Awesome work! Not sure if this is a compliment, but I didn't notice the edit. Everything just seem to flow together really well.
Beautiful! I loved this film but for the completely wrong reason, and now I love this film even more, and I feel for the right one. You rock Big Joel!!

This video rocks. Could watch videos like this every day. Also heads up, you said Rita Morena instead of Rita Moreno at the end
