#as someone who has the special edition DVD of west side story I just can’t take claims that Ansel is horribly miscast I’m sorry about it#like this might be my most controversial take I guess.#and it’s not a defense of him he’s a horrible human but I watched it without knowing his history#and I thought he was captivating as Tony. the way somethings coming was directed it really had you in awe of him#and as a true lover of the film like got the time stamp of one hand one heart tatted on me i think#people are conflating their dislike of the actor with the quality of the film#and it’s genuinely one of the best musicals released in the last 10 years#mike faist and Ariana Debose give life changing performances#David Alvarez has one film to his name and he bodied the fuck out of Bernardo#and idk idk like even if you dislike ansels performance the movie is so much more than that#Rachel does Maria beautifully#Spielberg made choices that at first seemed strange but ended up making the movie more impactful#like it’s so much more than his performance the set design the styling the songs i MEAN#the 1961 film will always be first to me i just don’t think you can beat the magic of that film#but 2021 is so fucking good. and yes yes I’m bias.#I’ve loved this movie since i was like 9 but god it’s so good. so good.
