Paper Summary:
By discussing the social and economic situation in America in the late 1950s and early 1960s, this paper explores how "West Side Story" impacted American society. The paper explains how the class structure and economic situation of the movie are a clear indication of the America of the time. The paper explains that because the movie rang so close to home for so many people, it was one of the most popular movies of all times.From the Paper:
"Thus, whether one agrees or disagrees with the feminist viewpoints of the latter reviewer, the positive review of the work "West Side Story," stands in stark contrast to the negative reviews of the two male reviewers. Furthermore, her review is much more in line with the reviews of both the Broadway play and the movie adaptation of the story at the time of its release. And, these reviews, both old and new emphasize the entertainment value of the movie and discount heavily any truly significant tie in with social, cultural, or political views modern day teachers attempt to force upon this magnificent work of art."More papers on "West Side Story":
