The Stylish Elf High Heel Matching Elf Squad Christmas Sweater Shirt! What a funny thing to watch Steven Spielberg's West Side Story in Lincoln Square. As the film opens, through the rubble at a large construction site, a sign appears: "SLUM CLEARANCE." This is 18 city blocks that will become Lincoln Center and its elegant surroundings, displacing some 800 businesses and thousands of families in the process. And that is what remains of the pitch that the Sharks and the Jets, two Manhattan gangs, are fighting for control. That context underscores the frenetic futility of this story: In a matchup between working-class Puerto Rican immigrants and poor whites or "whites who can't succeed," as Local lieutenant, Schrank (Corey Stoll) calls the Jets both groups of losers to the wealthy. However, the young people of West Side Story are especially so when they appear in Spielberg's superb retelling, with a clever and sensitive script by playwright Tony Kushner that doesn't care for the unthinking. avoidable. It's the ability they're after and what makes this story of 64-year-old Romeo and Juliet such a uniquely American story.

Once the rather fragile Nice Guy, a Jet that didn't quite stay close to the gang (and especially its leader, Riff) while generally disapproving of their disruptive behavior, there's now a Substantial backstory: When we meet him, Tony has recently returned from prison after brutally beating another gang member. He has been altered by both the crime and its consequences, he tells the Riff he knows his abilities now and it scares him. So Tony keeps himself busy at Doc's, the neighborhood drug store, in this version, by a Puerto Rican widow named Valentina (Rita Moreno, in a perfectly round moment), until when he went dancing too.
