    Most Hollywood directors would probably make it Spike Lee's version, but I still think it's very disappointing that Spike Lee can only make it like this. The subtraction made in this film is extremely stupid and it is also an excellent negative.

    If it is a remake, there will be comparisons, and if there are comparisons, there will be gaps. Spike Lee is a director who is well versed in black culture and black consciousness, but his take on this classic film history adapted from a Japanese manga into a Korean film really fell...
