West Side Story Is A Romantic Movie And

West Side Story is a romantic movie and an adaption of the classic romantic tragedy “Romeo and Juliet”. The movie is about two different gangs which hate each other. The white Jets, who consider themselves as Native American and the Puerto Rican Sharks. These two gangs earn a connection when Tony from the Jets falls for Maria from the Sharks.
Tony and Maria struggled for their strong and forbidden love. But the hatred that the families had blinded them and no one saw their beautiful love. No one believed in the love between these star crossed lovers. But I did, because the only thing that made them struggle was their love. Even though their love was forbidden they didn’t stop making plans for their future. From the movie we learn that hatred can destroy everything even love. This movie is not only great for its wonderful story but also for the great dance and vocal performances. Tony and Maria are a modern version of Romeo and Juliet. And this fact makes us understand that the problem of discrimination is actual even nowadays.
To sum up, this movie touched my heart and made me think how bad discrimination is and how much equality matters. And it proved me that you never chose whom you can love. I learned that no matter how much hate your environment has you need to answer to hate with even greater love.
