Carol Jeffries (known as 'Jeff') is a naive American woman staying in the Phillipines. She is given ten years in prison after being set up by her drug-dealer boyfriend, Rudy. She endures the harsh conditions, sadistic head matron and attempts on her life, then convinces her cell-mates to try to escape with her through the jungle, in spite of the knowledge that ruthless trackers will be sent out after them. ”
“ Legend has it that Sam Arkoff, head of American International Pictures saw a statuesque Grier at his company switchboard and cast her on the spot for her breakthrough hit Coffy. That, as they say, is bull shee-it. The former beauty queen made her film debut in 1970 as an extra in Russ Meyer's big breast bonanza Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls, and appeared in a number of B-pics shot in the Philippines the following year for AiP's rival company, Roger Corman's New World Pictures. Alongside her role as the tough-as-nails prostitute in Big Doll House were supports in the horror flick The Twilight People and as a topless hooker (again!) in Cool Breeze, then back behind bars for Women In Cages.
In Women In Cages, Grier plays the sadistic warden for once, a pot-smoking lesbian with a fully-equipped torture chamber (including a guillotine!). The 'New Fish' (a recent inmate, for you prison film novices), a ditzy blonde ex-stripper called Alabama, has taken the heroin possession rap for her pimp boyfriend. She knows too much, so the pimp blackmails her cellmates to execute her. A competent and well-shot entry in the tropical prison genre from Filipino director Gerry De Leon, it places the embittered ex-addict and prostitute Grier in the position of slave owner, watching her white charges toiling away in the plantation with obvious ironic glee.
故事无感，音乐可能就喜欢Somewhere, 编舞优秀，很多类似芭蕾的动作，比如Pirouette旋转和Cabrioles/ Brisé 击足跳 // 场景调度可以，光影设计很艺术，喜欢隔着彩纱拍的重影亲吻镜头(预告片封面)，教堂互说誓言Quiero estar contigo para siempre的彩光，仓库决战两方人物出场前俯拍的被拉长的人影
Ansel Elgort大白嗓唱歌好难听！发际线还堪忧！
我以为这样的电影至少已经能稳定三星了，结果还是有烂的
太长太啰嗦了，要不是朋友请我看的PGA展映我绝对撑不下去。关键是这个片子有拍出来的必要吗？本身原作就是把罗密欧与朱丽叶一键复制到纽约，改编基础上再改编，可是全无创新。罗朱的故事放在那个时代背景下是可以成立的，这个则剧情牵强、匪夷所思。灯光生硬无比，gaffer扣鸡腿。论娱乐性则比In the Heights差太多。
而对原作最大的继承，可能就是男女主一样糟糕的演技了吧。男女主轮流斗烂的演技，简直相映成趣，让本片还带上了一定的喜剧元素。看完只想给原版男女主道歉，不禁为正准备第一次看白雪公主的小朋友们担忧。
作为斯皮尔伯格的作品，整体水平低了些。拍摄的技术和舞蹈场面的调度确实是顶级水平，奈何这些都浮于表面，深层次的内核还是聚焦于两个敌对阵营的男女主之间的爱情故事。只是这故事是如此的平庸，也没有展现老旧街区两大黑帮之间的矛盾焦点，可以说是两方面都没有兼顾的很好。导致爱情片的成分与黑帮片的成分实在是层次不齐，因此就显得很平庸。再者作为歌舞片，舞蹈可以，音乐不行，也是不太亮眼的地方。一众青年演员所展现的活力和魅力倒是值得称颂。
女主不好看。歌舞片啊，爱人死了也要高歌一曲。。。不喜欢看。
Only very few moments capture some glimpses of a Gene Kelly musical. Unlike Bruce Lee’s martial arts, actors fail to express themselves truly through body movements or singing, although Spielberg's mise-en-scene nails it, the 2021 version of WSS is far from a good remake. Still love it for speaking up for the minorities.
不太出彩，但运镜，歌舞等让这部电影也还可以
[Cinemark at Tanforan] 前半匠气的风格化影像使末尾的克制处理显得尤为有力
这个剧本也太烂了吧 主角们还都是小学生吗？
这个确实属于认知壁垒或者知识盲区了。对我来说除了一些光影设计和中间那首America外这又是在难听到家的音乐中折磨人两个半小时的体验，所以我在读评论时频繁看到“经典唱段”这四个字时只能表示非常困惑了
……我以为自己什么歌舞片都喜欢，谢谢您，我错了
没什么太新鲜的但演的不错 在一些（许多）小地儿悄悄讽刺LA人有被攻击到
咋说呢，我知道这是改编罗密欧和朱丽叶，也知道这是斯皮尔伯格，也知道他画面气氛选角都不差。我知道这才是现实，但这价值观还是看的我要窒息了
“要打去练舞室打”moment come true!!! 斗舞clip莫多莫多。花样百出的布景、眼花缭乱的运镜、应接不暇的走位、行云流水的调度，配上莫名其妙的剧情。如此平庸的故事，实在是杀鸡焉用牛刀。

罗密欧与朱丽叶的故事恐怕真的过时了，一见钟情和族群背叛都像是熊孩子恋爱脑，很难动人，而且男主角肉眼可见的不行。就全当来欣赏新晋最佳女配了吧。
男主rif对比老版毫无男性气概，声音又难听，鲨鱼帮老大也不如老版的有气质。实在是年度翻拍灾难。
