The original version is very stylized, I have to say that the narration is very imposing, but the remake does not have this advantage at all. "I'm not as good as a live animal, don't I have the right to live?" This original line felt incredible when I saw it, and it was very abrupt. Because the original version did not show the male protagonist's evil, the male protagonist was drunk and entered the game, but it has not been "evil" to such an extent. On the other hand, the remake is very effective, but there is no such line. The original version of the fight was very brilliant, especially the long shot. I wonder if the American director could not find this kind of place, so I had to choose to shoot up and down the stairs. Even this iconic scene was saved. I have to say that it is not kind. The original imprisoned scene is indeed much better than the remake, which is very interesting. What is dissatisfied with the original version is the explanation of the so-called hypnosis, which has become a science fiction film, probably the comic itself is written in the same way, but I have to make people complain. The remake version is more convincing at this point. In addition, I prefer the ending of the remake, which is much more profound than the original "Together". Probably American directors and screenwriters are more inclined to "political correctness."
