I havent seen the original nor did i know the story at all until I saw the trailer and i dont think that even counts as knowing the story. I started watching this movie in film class which was def a mistake bc I then had to cut me watching it up into chunks and I ended up finishing it at work. I like I said didnt knwo the story so I was convinced the whole time it would be a happy ending and then when I was finishing the movie I was at work. So there I am lowkey trying not to sob while making a latte for this lady who procedded to ask “are you okay ”. I told her i just finished watchign a sad movie and she dropped the topic. still embarassing. Anyways I really liked the movie. The first time I watched it there was something off about the way it was filmed and made to me. It felt very fake and the cinematography was off. It wasnt until the second time that I realaized its ment to look liek that. Its meant to look like it was filmed in a studio which I actually grew to love the look of. it makes it so much more magical in a way. the second time around watching it I reallly really loved it. I think the music is so pretty and the balcony song is for sure my favorite. The point in the song when the music swells up right before it picks up is beautiful. The dance scene is so amazing and fun too, theres jsut so much energy and I cant even imagine how much fun that was to film and be apart of. I dont really know what else to say about this film other than its gorgeous. I think the casting was done very well to and I had no clue the guy who plays tony can sing. Also the girl who plays maria got very very very lucky with this film. This is her first movie shes ever been in and she was only 18 when they started filming. They spotted her in a productionon of beauty and the beast. On top of it the age gap between her and Ansel is the same as me and timothee chalamet. so imagine me fresh out of high school starring in a romance movie with timothee chalamet. CRAZY RIGHT. AND ON TOP OF THAT her first movie ever and she worked with steven spilberg and her film is nomindated for 7 oscars. With all that being said she is an amazing actress with an even more amazing voice. She really did a great job. Overall I really liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would and im really happy I watched it. I give this a 9/10.
