Hi guys, since there was a poll about these 2 movies. It would be interesting if I were to compare both movies.

Pocahontas

Okay, many of you all know about her real-life story. However, in the Disney adaptation of her life. She first set eyes on John Smith, to whom she will save later on in the movie.
When I watched this film again, they remind me of both Maria & Tony due to the fact that they are of different ethnicity and difficult complications arose when both parties declare war with each other.
During the fight between John Smith & Kocuum, the scene resembles to the Rumble between the Sharks and the Jets. Only this time, John didn't died but was taken in sa pamamagitan ng the tribe for falsely killing Kocuum. John was only injured at the end instead.
Nakoma reminds me of Anita, unlike the latter, Nakoma was not rape and being mocked sa pamamagitan ng the others. She was madami of a passive version of Anita, whereas Anita was madami upset because Bernardo died at the hands of Riff.

West Side Story

This movie was a modern version of Romeo & Juliet and Pocahontas, only this time it's the Puerto Rican The pating and the American The Jets. The songs are very amazing and catchy that I could not get them out of my head!
Secondly, I always feel bad for Anita because she tried to overcome her grief that Bernardo died and that she was raped afterwards sa pamamagitan ng the Jets while passing the message to Tony. Only to passed the false one to them shortly after Doc came in time to stop them! Poor Tony got killed in the end sa pamamagitan ng Chino.
Like Pocahontas, it also carries a message about racism and prejudice. Especially, during the ending when Maria gave her rant after Tony died. It was very heart-wrenching to watch!

Somehow, Somewhere!

Well, while both pelikula are very sad, especially West Side Story. Check both pelikula out and you will cry your puso out!
