Compared with the old version, the director does not know what is human nature

The film is a remake of the 1957 version. However, in order to be more infectious, the director deliberately portrayed the protagonist Dan as a person who failed everywhere. No matter where he went, he was beaten, spat on, and looked down upon by everyone. And Ben Wei is too powerful to be killed by a hundred beatings. This overly exaggerated treatment makes the characters too detached from reality. It's a combination of a geek and a superman. Obviously the director lost his humanity for the film. The film is also full of irrationality, such as Benway, who says he's only read the Bible once (obviously he didn't lie, and doesn't have to), but is often able to blurt out passages from the Bible.

The old version of Dan is the hero in the hearts of the children and the love of the children. He loved his son, and the sons loved him. For the money, he wants to escort the thief Ben Wei. The dialogue between the two couples is also full of warmth that seems to be a small deception. For example, Dale told his wife that he insisted on escorting, not for his wife, not for money, but because of the dead Alex, for the sake of society. You can say that the movie is preaching if you say this kind of falsehood. But it can also be understood that he used it to coax and appease his wife. Because the escort was only the last step left at this time, Dan angrily believed that the escort would be a success, and it would be unmanly to back down in this 99% of the places.

In short, the old version of Dale is not a martial artist with perfect marksmanship, a noble and great character, nor an outrageous failure; he is a small farmer, he is an ordinary person. They can be irritated by words, confused by money, and can't judge for vanity's sake. But perhaps because of luck, he accomplished a difficult task. In the new version of Dan, the little people had to die vigorously, and the storyline had to be magnificent, so a small story was made into Schindler's list. The result is four dissimilarities.
