![]() Remakes unless they're very loose are just copying for people who can't be bothered about an older iteration, and if they are loose what's the point of calling it a remake. West Side Story is transformative from Romeo and Juliet enough to not really be construable as a "redo" of it, that's a perfect example of respectfully modernizing and recontextualizing. It is stubborn but I'll never not think people who are on the remake train as arrogantly thinking they can do better even if on the surface it seems to stem from fondness because I just don't understand how you can be fond of something and want to put your stamp all over its name. I see the homage movie template I mentioned as honoring and spreading the word on a beloved original so we're just using different types of movies to say the same thing is good basically. You see remakes of things that people like. That's why you don't see remakes of shitty movies. A new version of something does not presume the first version is bad, if anything, it's presume the first version is good and that's why it's trying to copy it. But I don't see remakes as "disrespecting" the original unless one wants to think they're disrespectful. Your whole argument seems to be a desire to see old films respected. If we want to honour the old stuff, we should be remaking them, bringing attention to them. Again, remakes don't eclipse the original, they actually bring attention to them. How is their very existence "dismissive", exactly?Īs for the second part, you're bridging two ideas that are unconnected. If we valued our artistic heritage enough to make sure movies like the original Scarface aren't forgotten we wouldn't need remakes that then eclipse them.Īgain, more assumptions that don't really reflect reality. Good ones exist and so do ones that are better (Although it's rare) but they're in such the minority I approach the entire undertaking with automatic irritation. ![]() I think their very existence is dismissive of what came before. ![]() And as far as the studios are concerned, it's a win win because they make money on the remake and can bring attention to the original (bring out new versions on disc and so on). What's the evidence for this? ANY time you listen to a filmmaker talk about the film he's remaking they go on and on about honoring the original, wishing more people watch the original, and so on. Like, people in the 80s would definitely understand the story more because it's in their context. It's not always a case of "expanding upon", it's usually a case where they're telling the story in a different context. ![]() One can remake a film and still think the original is "vital". Remakes are designed to "update" and to me this is code for "replace." "Inspired by" or "homage" movies would be enough to spread the love. If they already felt the original was vital and didn't need expanding upon, remakes would have no reason to exist. Servant?
