Watching Spielberg's remake of West Side Story again. Just the whole dang thing I think "Why?".
Don't know how they managed it, something in the audio mixing perhaps but they succeeded in sucking the inherent drama out of Bernstein's thrilling score.
I still remember the round of applause the original restored cinema version got at the GFT. Electrifying wide-screen experience, the modern remake is just completely missing that vitality.

Leonard Bernstein does an analysis of the 1st Movement.
It's good but I need the emotional aspects focussed on much more and made explicit. ( My 12 years of schooling was remarkably sparse in content.)
#InsideTheScore does this effectively and with clear simplified audiovisual excerpts from the score illustrating the themes, variations, etc, etc, etc.
