An unrealistic film...of course,,always was meant to be Romeo and Juliet a 16th Century fantasy. But the acting of Ariana de Bose is fantastic and almost all actors superior to 1960s version( except Russ Tamblyn). Yea it is Romeo and Juliet but is also a modern morality film which clearly vets the immorality of those who judge all by one or judge by color, culture and language. I felt like you the first time I sw this version but the singing, de Bose and the dancing (never saw a gang member dance like they did in the street though I did attend a couple big Chicano dances on the Near Southside at the invitation of one of the gang's leader). No they were not doing the Mambo but dancing to 'Santana, War, Malo, El Chicano, Azteca. As the young gringo there from the East Coast it seemed like every mamacita wanted to "try me out". At first I thought this was my inventive thinking until I woke up the next morning in bed with a young rubia and her amiga, a striking morena. The smoky refreshment and tequila that night completely dissolved any memory after 10 PM. Not sure how the other 300 or 400 people from the gang-sponsored dance felt the next day but I felt good.
WSS had a lot to do with the woman I have been married to for 30 years (yes, what they say about marrying a Latina is all true!). However you never hear them mention the loyalty, the incredible family auras , and the ability to take life on life's terms. My wife's 18 year old 'Salvadoran niece, besides being fluent in English, attractive in almost a singular manner and smart was incredibly mature and tough (but not masculine) for an 18 year old young lady.Not even honeys I have known from West Baltimore and Northeast DC had the edge she does.
What kind of facist are you? In Amerika you are innocent until proven guilty. Every time I hear someone like you I think of all those day care workers in North Carolina who Janet Reno crucified in the media when later it was determined they were all innocent. Or all those convicts exonerated by DNA evidence. Looking at Mr Elgort it actually seems more reasonable to assume some 17-year old groupie type girl threw herself at him. In most cultures, at 17, you are a woman.
Been to Salem, Mass. lately?
