Just watched the latest version of West Side Story.
So many layers!
Someday there will be an equivalent between a Russian and Ukraine teenager.

Yes, but Juliet/Maria survives in this one.
The layers are at the level of race and immigration and economic disparity and the consequences of progress. While Bill Shakespeare pretty much documented all stories we'll ever re-tell, there are always angles for improvement and extension on the core story.
Oh I wasn’t trying to shit on it, I was just trying to confirm the archetype I was thinking of

Wait, is WWS basically a Romeo and Juliet variant?
