Description: The theme of the film "WEST SIDE STORY" is taken from the eponymous stage play. This spectacular musical-dancing Hollywood production, which is a modern version of Romeo and Juliet, based on the eponymous stage play by Robins and L. Bernstein, is noted for its fast beat, which combined with photography, the sound system (Panavision 70) and lighting fascinate audiences. The photography is mentioned for creating the illusion of a stage play and the songs for their operatic way of dispersing optical excitement. Through this theatrical ambience, not only the pleasant, but also the hard times in the life of the young people – violence and murder – become easier to bear. WEST SIDE STORY will serve as a model for many musicals that will follow. The movie won 10 Oscars, for Best Film, Best Director, Best Photography etc.
