war council
-decide how, where and when to fight
Jets and Sharks discuss in the shop/bar
-place: under the highway
-when: tomorrow night
-weapons: knife
They all pretend that nothing is happening when the police comes
Refuses to tell police where the fight is
Tony tells the storeowner that he is in love with Maria
-Both gangs share a common hate towards the police
Puerto Ricans fighting for their rights
Maria is wearing red+yellow dress - equal amounts, then switches to full yellow
Yellow light + cross (symbolising church)
Ramble scene: Red wall background
Fighting with knives
Chaotic scenes - camera is tilted
Frame is full of redness
Police comes and everyone leaves, leaving the dead bodies
Stylised dancing - fight
