Nick1Ø66 4,711 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 First thing I thought. The original West Side Story is fine. The original Shakespeare, even better. Looks too slick, too generic. Like even more of an assembly line product than his other recent films. And once again featuring Kamiński's annoying, soft photography that's made all of Spielberg's recent output look the same. Quite possibly the first Spielberg film I'll skip altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spielberg is in dire need of a new cinematographer. I get why he sticks with Kaminski; he shoots fast, the visuals are slick, and he slots straight into the 'assembly line' production schedule Spielberg desires. Previously the stylised/glossy look worked a treat on scifi films like AI and MR, and the gritty/textured look was perfect for TLW/SL/SPR/Munich, but it's an anachronism here. Their films are increasingly artificial and stylised now, almost homogeneous regardless of genre. Certainly a far cry from the grounded, realistic photography of his 70s/80s masterpieces.

For a musical, you have to record all the music first, so the actors can lip sync to it on set. David Newman was announced in February 2019, ahead of filming, which took place from Jul-Sep 2019 Williams was deep in TROS during all this. By the time he was all done with TROS in December of 2019, he theoretically could have arranged some of the old music to conform to the cut as Spielberg was shaping it, but why pay JW to do that especially when you've already paid Newman so much to do all the pre-production recording?

TheUlyssesian 2,478 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I saw it once ages ago, and it honestly did not leave a huge impression on me. I think perhaps because none of the leads seemed memorable to me. It is all very brisk and energetic and colorful and undoubtedly a superior piece of large-scale old-studio big movie-production. Of course it is watchable in the moment and probably entertaining and engrossing. But I remember little from it. Not one song, not one theme, not one memorable image. Maybe my memory is shit. That is why I will watch the new version fresh as if seeing it for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Guernsey 2,283 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I’ve seen the original film as well as at least one, excellent, albeit small scale live version (in Manchester). As I think I said before I found the film a bit long at times but the music is of course classic. Lame brag of the day. I went on a Broadway cruise, hosted by Seth Rudetsky, for Broadway fans who will probably know who he is and featured a few relatively well known musical theatre stars. They included Jenna Russell, British west end star but also appeared in Eastenders for a number of years, band Ramin Karimloo who starred in both Phantom of the Opera as well as originating the lead in the ill fated sequel Love Never Dies. However the reason most people were there was to see Chita Rivera who originated Anita in the original Broadway production of WSS. She did a show for those of us in the group (which was about 30 people!) and was wonderful. Lovely lady and very gracious. Disco Stu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this interesting and looked it up - here is what i found - Classic Score by Bernstein Is Remade https://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/07/arts/music/west-side-story-score-to-be-played-by-philharmonic.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&hpw By Daniel J. Wakin Sept. 6, 2011 Quote When it came time to make a movie of his “West Side Story,” a busy Leonard Bernstein entrusted the score to Hollywood and his loyal arrangers. But he was less than enchanted with the results. On hearing the overture for the first time on the stereo of the music director, John Green, he burst out, “Johnny, how the hell could you have done it so badly?,” one of the film’s producers, Walter Mirisch, said. Quote The guardians of Bernstein’s musical legacy have painstakingly recreated a written score of the soundtrack to be performed live by an orchestra during a screening of the movie. The live-orchestra version had its premiere on July 8 and 9 at the Hollywood Bowl by the Los Angeles Philharmonic, old hands at playing movie scores during screenings, and moves on to Chicago and London in the coming months. Its backers say that inquiries have come from Melbourne and Sydney, Australia; Tokyo; and several summer festivals. David Newman, an experienced movie score composer who led the Angelenos in the premiere, will conduct the New York Philharmonic. Quote Sid Ramin and Irwin Kostal orchestrated the original Broadway musical in close collaboration with Bernstein. “He was very much involved,” said Mr. Ramin, 92, who was a childhood friend of Bernstein’s. “He put his seal of approval on what we had done.” They were assigned to orchestrate the movie score under the guidance of Saul Chaplin, the associate producer. For Broadway, the arrangers wrote for roughly 30 musicians. MGM allowed them an orchestra three times the size. “It was like giving us a big candy store and saying, ‘Eat what you want,’ ” Mr. Ramin said. What resulted was a lush, large score with six saxophone parts, passages with eight trumpets and others with five pianos added to five xylophones. The movie arrangers created a new overture, doubled the size of the opening dance prologue, moved scenes around and added musical overlays to the two-and-a-half-hour movie. Quote Bernstein, Ms. Berson wrote, found the sound mix “overbearing and lacking in texture and subtlety.” Jamie Bernstein, a daughter of the composer’s, said by e-mail that her father “didn’t love everything” about the arrangement, or the movie, for that matter, but kept tactfully quiet. Mr. Ramin said of Bernstein’s reaction to the movie score: “He liked some of it, and he didn’t like some of it. Lenny was really a purist at heart.” Quote “We’ve pulled it somewhat back from the excess of the film score. We made it closer to his theatrical intentions.” Mr. Sunderland said the theater orchestration formed the backbone of his work. He also used a partial version of Mr. Ramin’s personal score, which was found in Columbia University’s archives, and a reduced version that belonged to Mr. Green. Eleonor Sandresky, a Bernstein office researcher, tracked down the Green materials in the collection of the movie’s co-director, Robert Wise, at the University of Southern California. Some orchestrations had to be reproduced by ear. Passages impractical for onstage orchestras, like a section with five pianos and xylophones, were slimmed down. Mr. Sunderland made the “Cool” dance music more jagged; it had been smoothed out for the movie, he said. Couple of interesting observations - 1. We now know why David Newman was hired. He conducted Bernstein's restored score for the LTP screenings of the 1961 movie. 2. It seems the movie made a lot of changes to the score - (a) Tripled the size of the orchestra (b) Discarded Bernstein's overture and created a new one. (c) Doubled the size of the opening prologue (d) Added additional music overlays (e) Changed the order of the songs (f) Changed the jaggy edgy sound to smoother studio sound. Which one of these will Spielberg revert back to the original? I mean honestly, Spielberg loves big orchestration and a big sound. Do we really think for a musical he is going to scale back the orchestra to 30 players? I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has happened many times where movie adaptations influence subsequent stagings of the original play. The original play exists as a piece of the page - to be interpreted. I definitely think homage to the original film will happen. It happens right down to the hiring and casting of one of the original stars and giving her a producing credit - Rita Moreno - who apparently had nothing to do with the broadway production. I think it will be a re-imagination/re-make/re-interpretation - all of those things at once. I think it would be difficult (and even foolish) to ignore the film version in creating and executing this movie. Smeltington 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will 2,215 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I have to say, this trailer looks lovely. I previously wasn't particularly excited about this given that JW isn't involved***, but this trailer has made me at least somewhat excited. I might try to see this in theaters. A really well-made trailer, and it looks like Spielberg has gone with a really cool blend of modern day and old-fashioned for the aesthetic. I too was very surprised to see David Newman not credited on the poster or in the trailer. Bizarre (unless it turns out Newman actually didn't do that many new arrangements -- but I doubt that). Lastly, the female lead looks very good but, yes, the male lead has a bit of an asterisk attached to him. The extent to which that effects the movie's popularity remains to be seen. ***Given JW's admiration for Bernstein, it would've been very cool to hear his arrangements, but I'm sure Newman will do a solid enough job.

You're living in a hyperreality if you think junk links like the one you posted are worth a damn. I don't question the fact that the filmmakers will no doubt be asked some awkward questions about the actor's alleged conduct, but I very much doubt any of this will live up to the sensationalist hype you're determined to build around it, not by a long shot.
