    The remake is really not that bad, please don't be preconceived. The French version is indeed the first, but this version is more funny. As a warm entertainment film like "The Bucket List", the quality is not...

    This version of Lao Bai is completely cute! It is always someone else who opens the door to a new world for you, and you can't let yourself be too isolated or too closed. I kinda want to try...

    The original (French version) with pearls in front. The rhythm is not as good as the original. The opening car chase scene: I prefer the handling of the American version - P is silent. But the original version is worse than the clip with the soundtrack (that is, the police car drives the road); the language of the interview is not as delicate as the original; the two versions of Yifang have their own charm; Part of their bridge, compared to European (French) films, the jokes are less bold and...

    It's basically copied, and the changes are not very good, such as the pen pal's dislike, such as the daughter's role without the role, and it was given to Nicole. The French version's favorite part is the boogie wonderland that complained about classical music and terrestrial fire on the boss's birthday. It has also been changed. And the French version of the selection and Ludovico Einaudi's piano are so good, this version is a bit...

    Say two interesting details. First, at Philip's birthday party, he gave Dale a professional dancer to complete the music in his mind; second, Dale helped Philip complete his secret dream of paragliding. These two scenes point out the meaning of the title. What is out of reach? It's a wider world and a brighter life. They became each other's wings. From the perspective of adaptation, it has to be said that Americans love "family" too...

    Black people turn into shit and piss comedy, it annoys him. The original black has a very sharp sadness. Bryan can act...

    The details of the French original have been forgotten, and I only remember a general outline of the story. It is difficult to compare the differences between the American version and the original, but the Hollywood adaptation is 14 minutes longer than the original, and the story seems fragmented. It's superficial, not smooth enough, not deep enough, a very perfunctory, utilitarian adaptation. The praiseworthy passages are basically completely reproduced from the original version. For example,...

    I think the biggest problem is with the actors, and despite Cranston and Hart trying to fit into the characters' tragic circumstances, I always feel like they're going to be arguing with each other in the next second. In addition, the film unreservedly copied the original film, trying to create a French style, but not only failed to bring surprises, but made the film even more down-to-earth. This is the most inspirational and warm film I have ever seen. If you can't be moved by yourself, how...

    [C+Film Critic] The US version is out of reach: the French Bourgeois that Hollywood can't touch

    Hollywood is no stranger to the remakes of European film and television works. Only in the 90s and 00s, there were familiar era classics such as "True Lies", "Scent of a Woman", "Vanilla Sky", and "Sweeping the Sky". But today when sequels/prequels/remakes are popular, American remakes are becoming...

    suddenly want to write

    Seeing this lily meeting, I was really angry. She hated a bit of ketchup on Philip's scarf and the vegetables between his teeth, all because he hated his disability and couldn't take care of himself. And after Philip was too anxious to bump the waiter at the end, the woman knew he couldn't be that...
