American ignorance-another typical case of failed remake

The so-called American-style ignorance means that Americans always like to analyze the culture of other countries with a vision lacking deep historical connotation and derive fast-food-style works. Classic failures such as the remake of "Bounce and Dance" from Japan and "Infernal Affairs" from Hong Kong are all caused by this self-righteous sense of cultural superiority.
In this film, the script laying has a high restoration of the original, and many classic scenes are even reproduced intact (such as the archive wall, a hundred people embrace, etc.), but the random cutting of the original clues is enough to make this film a remake The classic case of failure has been shining through the textbooks:
the complete defeat of the three clues.
The first is the family line of the male protagonist butcher shop. The setting of this branch line in the original work is based on the interaction between the two brothers and the male protagonist. It is not solely based on the father. The family affection of the previous generation pave the way for the climax of the film. But in this film, this branch is only supported by the father personally at the end of the film. You can't even tell who the two brothers are, and the affection between the three brothers of the male protagonist is not expressed at all. Generally speaking, the performance of the father and the brothers is not enough. The butcher shop line failed.
Let's look at the love line again. In the original work, this branch is set up to reflect the changes before and after the heroine's personality is sublimated in the emotional fluctuation and choice struggle of the heroine. In this film, we don't even see the heroine's emotional struggle, perhaps only a slight struggle, the balance is completely falling to the hero, there is no drama conflict at all. The line of love failed.
Finally, we look at the failure of the main line. In describing the interaction between the protagonist and more than 500 children, two of them played a key role in the development of the theme of the film. One is the vocalist. He represents the democracy of the French spirit. He organized the children to face the media and finally awakened something in the protagonist's heart. The second is Charcoal, which represents the freedom of the French spirit. The child who plays Charcoal in this film is completely unable to take on this dark and deep role, and wastes a lot of shots. On the contrary, the vocalist did not give the scene. . The main line failed.
From this glimpse, the fallacy of this film can be seen.
