Re: Remakes you want Vs Remakes no-one ever wanted.
(Anonymous) 2017-07-30 01:34 pm (UTC)(link)On some levels, I agree. I thought Infernal Affairs was on a whole different level from The Departed. I love Martin Scorsese but The Departed was just another Hollywood mob film (definitely on the better side of quality with this type of film, however). Infernal Affairs was a suspense cat-and-mouse game where the leads are basically the same but yet worlds apart. It has so much more going on and I felt like the character development was way, way, way better (especially the secondary characters). Like, I don't think The Departed is a bad film, but it can't even compete with the original, and I thought it wasn't really a film worthy of the amount of awards-love it received.
On the other hand, I don't always think dismissing American remakes is fair. I think films like The Grudge, True Lies, Let Me In, Unfaithful, and Vanilla Sky are all great films with varying qualities compared to what they were adapted from, and they don't really annoy me that they were remade from a different country. Although, Hollywood should stay away from trying to remake Korean films...and films based on mangas/animes.
