'Most woketard thing I've ever witnessed': 'West Side Story' hammered for politics

fta - "Here you have a classic piece of Americana, a beloved property, an iconic chunk of our shared culture that not only won ten Oscars, including Best Picture but is also still beloved; and like some superior, smug jerk straight out of Orwell's 1984, Spielberg decides he needs to correct something that, by any moral measure, does not need correcting...

The original West Side Story isn't really original in the first place. It's based on Romeo & Juliet. An argument can be made that it culturally appropriated the work of some dead white guy named Shakespeare, gave it a modern Latino twist, and called it original work. SHAME!!! Mad

Review: Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story” Remake Is Worse Than the Original

In revising the musical drama for modern sensibilities, Spielberg makes misguided additions and removes much of what’s best.

———-

A rich and famous artist spends a hundred million dollars to revive a corpse with the blood of young people. The creature is still alive, but barely, and the infusion leaves it deader than when it started. This is not the plot of the latest horror film from A24 but the unfortunate tale of Steven Spielberg’s efforts to remake “West Side Story,” the movie musical about love and ethnic rivalry among New York City gangs. With the screenwriter Tony Kushner, Spielberg has attempted to fix the dubious aspects of the 1961 film, including its cavalier depiction of Puerto Rican characters and its stereotypes of a hardscrabble New York. But, instead of reconceiving the story, they’ve shored it up with flimsy new struts of sociology and psychology, along with slight dramatic rearrangements. They’ve made ill-conceived additions and misguided revisions. In the process, they’ve managed to subtract doubly from the original

I now have a few rules when it comes to movies.

1. Don't go to the Movie theater.
2. Watch at home with my hand holding the remote so I can quickly turn it off at the first signs of WOKENESS!

11 days after its debut, playing on 2,820 screens, it’s taken in $17,982,021. With initial costs of $200 million, this one’s a bust & rightfully so..
