I disagree. I think most people who know Bernstein, know him mostly as a classical conductor. West Side Story only comes to mind for people who like musicals. Overall, his legend is his conducting. Just. my .02

Bernstein was most regaled as a conductor--the Classical, Romantic, late Romantic symphonies.. You are very shortsighted to talk only about West Side Story which was originally STAGED for live musical theater not for the glossy and miss-cast big screen version.

You poor folks!
No one ever said this was going to be what you call a biopic... And since Bernstein is almost universally known by anybody with a modicum of culture in their blood, he is a pervasively familiar figure to all to whom this film matters. Perhaps one day the film you expected will happen, but that will not be a masterpiece of a drama about two real human beings who loved each other beyond their personal boundaries, one of whom was the preeminent musical figure of the 20th century.
As far as what you call aspect ratios go, this is pure futile intellectualism at. It's worst. Who cares? What aspect ratio of the film was in, this or some other. Why on earth would you want to distract yourself from the compelling narrative at hand to analyze? Just what might have been in the creator's mind when these choices were made? The fact is, if your attention had been as riveted upon the narrative as mine and almost everyone else's was, you would hardly have noticed the variations in aspect ratios as a crippling point over which the stumble so badly.
Time to see the film again with beginner's mind, and not with the craggy, dusty, musty, expectation filled brain which now burdens you. Good luck.. from a lifelong symphonic composer... It is indeed a masterpiece, whether you have the breadth of vision to see it or not!

I've just come back from seeing this movie. A wonderful movie, tinged with sadness imo. I loved it and thought the acting was truly excellent!

[@corra7]

Acting was excellent ….story went everywhere….music was great… I agree the changing of the black and white to color was a confusing. Let’s be real too…he gad affairs with women too….a horrible husband…sorry

I hated this movie! I could not get any hooks in at all with the storyline. I turned it off part way through.
