      The death of American humor

      Compared to the original high-quality British humor, the remake is too far behind!
      With a gentlemanly calm and self-deprecating, how can this be imitated by the Hollywood assembly line!
      Every character in the original version has a play, including the pastor of Liao Liao Jiyu is funny (in order to hurry up, the final speech speed is faster than the good voice of China · Hua Shao).
      Although there are many stars in this film, compared with the British actors who play the same role,...

      A good remake can be used to pay tribute, but a bad imitation only has a shriveled purpose.

      The original version was shot in 2007 and won the Audience Choice Award at the 60th Locarno International Film Festival. The 2010 remake of the US version, this remake simply and willfully copied the entire story, but replaced all the characters in the background with black people. Several of the main roles are more famous comedians. The advantage is that as a commercial film, with the blessing of racial topics and celebrity influence, marketing will be easy. The disadvantage is that black...

      "Death at the Funeral": A bloody murder caused by a bottle of aphrodisiac again

      The British comedy encounters a black team, and the cold tone encounters a thermal shock. The result of the remake of "Death at a Funeral" is that we have seen a major change in style that is very different from the original. Three years ago, the original version of "Death at a Funeral" used a bottle of hallucinogenic pills and a dwarf classmate to successfully create a lot of troubles, turning a farewell ceremony that should have been solemn in our eyes into a happy and noisy , And a farce of...

      British and American version comparison

      The English version of "Death at a Funeral" has British black humor, a gentlemanly calm and self-deprecating. The American version of "Death at a Funeral" is more like a black family comedy. Although the black comedian Martin Lawrence was invited, it was only performed through exaggerated moves and funny lines. In the English version, the older brother is portrayed as facing pressure in the relationship between husband and wife, unwilling in life, writing a novel but dare not publish it, facing...

      The main line is unclear. It seems a little more farce.

      In fact, this stem can also be used very well. for example

      ① A strange woman came to my father's funeral. Through this woman, the protagonist discovers the unknown side of his father...

      ②In order to obtain the inheritance of his father, the protagonist must solve a problem. In order to get answers, he repeatedly visited several friends/lovers/partners/students/teachers of his father. The protagonist thought he would...

      Fuck, you know your remake makes me want to see the UK 2007 version wrong? ——I once thought my laugh point was too high, but the shit part was still sprayed, am I so vulgar? ——2014.10.13, 3 stars changed to 2 stars, it’s really a remake that doesn’t make much sense. It has the original script nuclei, but it doesn’t have the black humor of the original, I still think that the piece of shit might be an original (R High-level comedy loves shit), and as a...

    Evaluation action

    "Death at a Funeral" is a remake of the film, except that the title remains the same, the general plot structure is the same as the original, but there are major changes in actors and jokes. However, the original movie is a typical British comedy, cold and humorous. The American version chose black people as the leading role, so a pure British comedy turned into a black comedy, and the director is good at remakes. Neil LaBute, people...
