I cried in the movie during the love between Maria and Tony at the chapel, one heart. I had this music and song at my wedding. The two made it so real. Absolutely beautiful by Ansel and Rachel.
Thank you Rita for answering my burning question when I first heard Ansel sing "Something's Coming." I could see it on Rita's face, that gaze, beaming with pride and in awe of being there and hearing him sing a song from the movie she once starred. Nostalgia mixed with joy. I wondered what she was thinking. He sang it pure and honest and I too was wowed by his voice.
His Voice AND look ....is just GORGEOUS, as is this whole INCREDIBLE new Movie Version! I would be beaming TOO, if Ansel was Singing to me like that!! LOL!
I loved the original so much that I couldn't believe that I enjoyed the new movie even more! The talent of each of these actors, and the supporting cast, is amazing! I loved the new choreography too, just as good as the original's. And when I heard Rachel Zegler and Ansel Elgort sing, I was transported. AMAZING! And Mike Faist should have been nominated for an Academy Award, he is a STAR!
Quite underrated fact that has been floating around but Im glad SAG=AFTRA covered this - almost everyone in the cast has deep musical theatre background (with 2 of them being OGs). This film doesnt just reimagine an old tale but shows off and celebrates the extreme depth, commitment and talent that musical theatre actors/actresses carry. Often these guys are underlooked/undervalued because the nature of musical theatre doesnt carry as much 'depth' in its art form and people strike it as cheesy and slightly outdated. Edit: I make this comment as there have been many musical theatre films ruined or not done justice as directors have chosen to cast big name actors versus musical theatre actors. I dont need to tell you which ones, Im sure yall in the comments can think of many.
It is a “lovely interview “! After all the negativity I’ve read online, it’s sweet to hear kind appreciation for Angel Elgort. He is wonderful as Tony!
I agree! He was everything tony's character should be to me. He was charming, charismatic, soft and tender. He had a hopefulness and true pure honesty in his undying love for Maria. I believe this Tony had more substance to his character than the 1961 version.

What a lovely interview! They have such love and pride in one another, and the process seemed so playful. I long to be a part of something like that.
Such a beautiful cast. The picture is phenomenal. I love to watch each of you. So many of you are irreplaceable. I vote Best Picture!!!
The cast is stellar in this Spielberg vision. I hope they win best ensemble at the Screen Actor’s Guild Awards.
Me too! Hoping and praying it’s the most deserved out of all noms
Not even nominated.
@@jenniferwise8515WHAT a SHAME, too!
That was way TOO short-I just wanted to hear more from this lovely cast especially my fave Mike Faist!

Heck yeah!
THAT'S what I want to know?!
UNBELIEVABLE!! 🥺😢😭
“Holy f*** you’re tall. He’s f***ing tall!!” 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
6 ft 4!
Ansels voice is amazing, so moving...
ABSOLUTELY agree!! ☺️
SO underated and QUITE unfairly, I might add, too!
Wow loved this conversation so much I was excited it’s so long but at the end I couldn’t help but feel it wasn’t long enough!
Thank you for this. Loved every moment of it. : o )
Such a beautiful cast and film!

Amen!
They're abuse allegations dude, not negativity
Though many still don’t have any appreciation for him
I totally agree! I fell in love with him as Tony! 🥰😍🥰
Brilliant movie and fabulous interview!!!
Rita cracked me up at 32:35 with "i can't remember the f*cking words" LMFAO

On rewatch I’m struck by the irony of Ansel saying Robbins and Laurents were honored when their work was discarded by Peck and Kushner
10:41
How tall is Ansel Elgort?
I think he’s around 6’4”.
1.90m (6,2ft)

' I'm the first Latina to play Maria on screen' and the second to play Maria on screen
The Maria from the 1961 version was a white actress in makeup, she wasn't Latina.
@@jp9707 that’s the point of the comment?
Her name was Natalie Wood
