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.
还有就是，导演拍得有些场景还是挺有新意的。
歌舞片段还是展示了导演科班出身的学院派水平，精致大气。只是皮导这次没皮起来，只做出了一部平庸刻板的歌舞电影，远不如La La Land让人印象深刻。
网飞能用大数据算法砸钱拍爆米花动作片，就也可以同样套路地拍合家欢节庆片。去年的那部虽然是拉拉情侣但家庭戏处理太糟，这一次同样pc的亚男配白女，但显然剧本上稳妥了很多。白眼虽然还是没少翻，但也可以打发时间看一下。
优缺点和老版几乎一样，群舞段落华彩，但是剧情老套抓马。新版很明显有努力，想写出更好的故事、舞蹈和时代反思，但是这个故事大纲在这儿，“要么爱要么死”的观点难以服众，只能止于及格分了。男123和女12还是很养眼的~
5.5/10
只能说我还是get不到这个故事本身，too white to me
还拿了不少奖...就这么个破玩意？杀了他哥直接上床？在电影院坐2小时看这杂乱无章的小混混斗殴？连配爆米花的激情都没有...宣扬地痞文化几个意思，为政治正确选角改肤色也很刻意
我要看吐了…真的是毫无逻辑的剧情，什么邪恶亲哥恶毒嫂子，catfish又求婚，好几个演员演的像舞台剧。cheesy到全身汗毛倒立…
明明是《罗密欧与朱丽叶》不知为何看出了《西贡小姐》的感觉。男女主演技拉胯到爆，简直是男女团爱豆水平。评论第一篇说出了我的心声😂“Jets整体感觉是一群gangsters who love contemporary dance” lmao
I feel pretty and witty and bright.
就很流水线但是还可以哈哈哈哈哈哈至少不难看，虽然太过好莱坞PC童话，为了欧阳才看到嘻嘻
Ansel Elgort大白嗓唱歌好难听！发际线还堪忧！
看完 西区故事 感觉斯皮尔伯格成精了。有之前版本和罗密欧与朱丽叶打底，剧本上不用多夸，觉得老头已经在玩电影了。在一个手持摄影成风的年代，老头却玩起了轴线，全片没有一个跳轴的镜头，看着极度舒适。有条轴线还是很舒适的，纯粹看戏的心态，而不是偷窥或者沉浸式体验。相信现在的观众也能接受轴线，毕竟网络视频也都是带轴的，跳轴这种高级货那些做短视频的暂时还不懂。等到了Vr和元宇宙阶段，轴自然没了，也就不存在跳轴了。
但是咱也不至于给斯皮尔伯格两星招呼吧
这版选角不太行啊，女主声音条件不错，但演技太尬了
罗密欧与朱丽叶式的故事确实太老套了，可是美国的歌舞片也太好看了吧，尤其是中段那场女配穿黄色裙子那场舞蹈不仅配色美场面美，就连调度也很绝，可惜那种过度的政治正确也是大可不必，当然电影最重要
繼星巴克紅杯之後，電影也開始聖誕版了⋯⋯交友軟件上用假照片一定會見光死啊，但聊得來跟愛得上是完全不一樣的兩回事⋯⋯
男主长得太像本科一同学了
没看过原版也很少看歌舞片，但似乎《西区故事》面临的是与《沙丘》同样的问题甚至更为严重，大环境变了，尽管导演极尽所能将一切硬件做到最好，然而这套陈旧的故事却落后于时代太久，作为观众始终难以带入情感，后半程被猪队友气得想捶墙。
