Like some, you may be asking why this classic was remade. Why would one of, irrefutably, the best directors of all time put his heart and soul into a remake when he could have given us an original film?! What on earth can Steven Spielberg give to or do for this film that wasn’t already done? I have been in your shoes. I wondered the exact same thing. Why touch “West Side Story?!” Makes no sense, right? I never saw the original, so I was coming from that angle, too. I thought, goodness gracious, another one?!
Then I saw it.
