‘West Side Story’
Steven Spielberg’s modern take on the 1957 original, this film tells a story of forbidden love, racial tension, and violence in New York City. The narrative focuses on the leader (Ansel Elgort) of a street gang, the all-white Jets, as he falls in love with the sister (Rachel Zegler) of the leader of a rival gang, the Puerto Rican Sharks.It features the usual touchstones of woke political correctness, including divisive racial tension and the shoving of identity politics down everyone’s throats. It also seems designed purely as an Oscar-winning vehicle.
