It's true that Anita was in deep mourning and anger and may not have had all the facts, but her argument to Maria that "a boy who kills cannot love, a boy who kills has no heart" is ironic given that Bernardo killed Riff first. ~ ekedolphin

      I like how, when Bernardo asks Lt. Shrank to translate his rant into Spanish, even the Jets laugh at that. ~ ekedolphin

        When you're a Jet, you stay a Jet. ~ ekedolphin

            For a couple of street gangs, the Jets and Sharks sure have a lot of formalized rituals and rules. War councils and such. ~ ekedolphin

              What the hell's a zip gun? ~ ekedolphin

              • a zip gun is a makeshift guy - its basically a bullet nudged into a piece of conduit, with a rubber-band tied on the back end - like a slingshot, and a rock in the sling. The bad guy pulls back on the slingshot with the rock in it, points the zip gun at someone and lets fly the rock. The rock hits the bottom of the cartridge and sets it off, firing the bullet. ~ zippy

              It's ironic that, without Tony's interference, neither Riff nor Bernardo *might* have been killed in the first place. Neither pulled a knife until Riff interfered on Tony's behalf, and Riff ran out of Tony's arms right into Bernardo's knife. ~ ekedolphin

                If the Jets had let Anita deliver her original message, instead of giving her justification for modifying it after they tried to rape her, Tony and Maria might have been together and Tony wouldn't have been shot by Chino. Indeed, Maria was quite right when she said "you ALL killed him." ~ ekedolphin

                  The Jets have been in operation for years prior to West Side Story, clearly, and in all that time no one's been killed. Must be the least violent street gang in history. ~ ekedolphin

                    Doc is amazing throughout the film, but especially at the end when he slaps Tony: "Is THIS the only way to get through to you?! Do what all you kids do, BUST like a hot water pipe?!" ~ ekedolphin
