The American version really has American characteristics, it is neat and crisp, and it quickly enters the theme. It is not like the opening of the original version. Although the snowflakes are poetic, they also make people's minds dizzy. The movie, and the beginning of the American version starts with the death of the guardian, and quickly allows the audience to grasp the theme, which is concise enough, I like it.
However, in the grasp of details, the American version is still inferior to the original. The boy's innate curiosity and enthusiasm for murder, and the girl's cold, innocent and mysterious temperament have all disappeared in the American version, and the cute girl who plays Abby is still a little more foreign. Instead, the girl's hideous expression when she sucks blood, and the sound of gnashing her teeth, is the iconic low-level violence and bloodshed. And the naked scene at the beginning of the film is also very uncomfortable. I am not a little fresh and artistic, but I think this scene is too annoying. Just imagine that in the original version, one second is pure snowflakes, and the next second is pure snowflakes. The naked female body, wouldn't it be a shame? No wonder I once asked my friend what is the difference between American humor and British humor, and he replied immediately, don't you think there are too many sex jokes in the United States? It's been half a year since I watched the original version, and when I think about this movie now, it's not the unexpected plot, nor the thriller and suspense of the film's atmosphere, but the wave of photography. I checked the information, but no, the photography of this movie was taken from The winners, in contrast, the American version of the photography is too flat and direct.
I went to see the background information of the movie. It is said that the US version focuses on adult fairy tales that expose the darkness of human nature. This starting point is still very different from the original version. The original version is generally not divorced from the perspective of children's movies. Produce children's movies for adults. However, the American version seems to be exposed for the sake of exposing, unlike the original version. The American version is stingy and only leaves its own shots to the two little child stars, and the portrayal of the theme is obviously insufficient. Especially when it comes to the handling of the female tenant of the apartment who was attacked by the girl, the US version's explanation is not complete and seems rushed, and the shocking power of the picture is inferior to the original version, and it is only mediocre in the end. Sure enough, it is the dignified land of northern Europe that can nurture profound words and profound souls.
However, the unhurried progress of music in the US version still left a deep impression on me. With the slow progress of the film, it creates a slow rhythm rarely seen in American movies. The music runs almost throughout, but it doesn't steal the limelight from the picture or distract the audience. It infiltrates the film silently, but it gives people an aftertaste at the end.
If I have to choose, I still prefer the original version more, but the US version is not too bad, after all, pearls come first. And the same theme, the interpretation of different countries can shoot their own characteristics, it is still a great thing.
If a movie based on a teen novel could be made in this tone, and not always the Twilight romance, I think I'd still like to see it.

Final complaint: I want to say two points, the bad boy who bullied the boy, don't you think there is a strange air between the two little boys...Compared to the original version of the bastard with a face full of flesh, the American version of the bad boy It's much cuter. It's obviously a prequel interpretation of the criminal investigation routine that is unique in American film and television dramas: "I carry a girlfriend/wife and fuck with a man when I am an adult, and then it is revealed that I have gay tendencies as early as a student, but I just beat him to death without admitting it". ! !
And especially the few parts where the boy also puts on the boots, doesn't anyone really think that the two little child stars are a little too tall... The legs are very slender, so they don't look like children...
