Some differences between old bottles and new wines

I have watched "Phone Murder" and "Perfect Murder" consecutively. Although they are related to the original version and the remake, it is also interesting to compare the plot descriptions between them:

1. "Phone" has a simple structure, and is tightly centered around the theme. Buttons, absolutely no branch; and "Perfect" has increased the description of the relationship with the lover and the detailed description of the relationship with the husband.

2. The ending of "Telephone" is highly organized, reasoned, and in line with the characters' way of thinking. It is reasonable and makes people understand after watching it; "Perfect" needs to expand your imagination, because it is related to the heroine's There are some deviations in her personality. She is intelligent and sensitive, but she is also weak and helpless, unless she wants to murder her husband, but this is not her intention!

3. "Telephone" is based on the belief that there is a beautiful relationship between people, and will never arrange for a lover to do this; but "Perfect" is based on the way of thinking of contemporary people, and people do anything for money. What can be done (although there is a foreshadowing: the lover is a dismantling party) - poor and pathetic contemporary!

Of course, both films are worth watching, and liking it is a personal matter :)
