The plot is based on the story of Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare, but adapted to modern times. In New York, two bands of young people, the Sharks, of Puerto Rican origin, and the Jets, Americans of European origin, are rivals and live in disputes. The conflict arises when Maria (Natalie Wood), sister of the head of the Puerto Rican gang, Bernardo (George Chakiris), and Tony (Richard Beymer), ex-member of the Jets, fall in love. The two bands incite the leaders, Bernardo and Tony, to fight. Tony does not want to but he is forced to do it, since Bernardo kills his friend Riff (Russ Tamblyn) with a knife. Tony then goes after Bernardo and kills him. To avenge Bernardo, Chino, María's suitor, looks for Tony and shoots him: Tony dies in the arms of María. As in Romeo and Juliet, the two bands end up solving their disputes as a result of the death of the lovers. Unlike the character of Juliet in the play of Shakespeare, in West Side Story Maria goes out with her head held high.
The musical was innovative: for the dances, which are part of the dramatic action, for the very varied music of Bernstein (Latin rhythms, jazz, love songs of great melodic beauty ...) and for the theme. One of the most famous songs of this work is "America", in which the two visions of the emigrants are contrasted when arriving in the United States: the illusion for freedom, modernity and consumerism, and on the other hand the disappointment with racial marginalization and poverty. The staging of the song "America" is located on a rooftop where members of the Puerto Rican gang Sharks and their girlfriends discuss their lives in the United States.

Well, let us begin with some things I found interesting about him,
His mother was Grenadian and fluent in 9 languages.
After his release from prison, he continued to visit prisoners and inmates.
Malcolm was a feminist and often objected to orthodox rules for women in mosques.
Malcolm visited Europe in addition to Africa and the Middle East.
Now to agree or disagree with his philosophy you first have to know what his philosophy was.
Malcolm X advocated the complete separation of African Americans from whites. He proposed that African Americans should return to Africa and that, in the interim, a separate country for black people in America should be created.
Now the thing I disagree with is that black people should have rights as well as Americans and I personally don't understand his reasoning but I also kind of get it because he thought them not even coming here would solve the problem of slavery and so much death but he didn't realize Africans were literally selling each other into slavery so it wouldn't have helped anyways.
He also believed in black self-defense and black rights though and I think he made the right stand about their rights and he does continue to be relevant because he played a partial role in their freedom today.
