💨 Abstract

The 1961 film "West Side Story" has been reclassified from PG to 12 by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC). The change is due to concerns over sexism, transphobic remarks, moderate violence, sexual threats, and discrimination. The film, a classic adaptation of "Romeo and Juliet," features iconic music and choreography but includes scenes that may be triggering for young viewers, such as smoking, alcohol references, and depictions of violence.
