West Side Story was my favorite movie of 2021 so no he’s not too old

It was my 2nd favorite of that year right behind Dune. Really better than the original imo.

I love the original despite it's casting issues. The new one pretty much fixes all of those problems (except Ansel Elgort's alleged off camera issues and lack of charisma). It also improves several numbers from the original (Cool in particular). It's really well done.

I felt like that it had the opportunity to win Best Picture but I think Elgort's allegations might've thrown the Academy voters off. They probably didn't wanna give the award to a film that stars an actor with problems.
