In contrast, the overall feeling is that it has done a proper modern adaptation, trying to express its own style and attitude, but it is relatively mediocre and boring.
The original version was a farce. The heroine was silly. Fortunately, Hepburn used the peerless beauty of the long dress and the little black dress to win the hearts of the audience - otherwise it would be stupid; the hero was silently black, even his father and brother were stupid, Don't mind the look. Dad's performance is especially funny, really funny.
One of the benefits of farce is that serious problems do not need to be dealt with seriously. For example, how to deal with the second son's fiancee. However, the new version is a real drama. In order to properly sort out the relationship, Erzi forced the IQ to go online, and realized that the combination with the rich second-generation children's doctor is the best choice for everyone's interests. Hehe... After thinking about it, I felt that the original version that the screenwriter was really black was going to die.
In the adaptation, the strange and unintelligible French friends of the young heroine replaced the cute and cute old man, and the heroine's father changed from a foolish, loyal and self-serving old driver to a life winner who reaped love and followed the trend and speculated in stocks. The driver even has a kind of Due to the fact that the daughter is the protagonist, the status of the servant has also risen. As big as the setting of the female protagonist, the setting of the male protagonist, the expansion of the symbolic meaning of Paris, the attempt to reflect on the commercial society, and the rise of female consciousness.
It seems that there are many contemporary social connotations under the list, but it is not successful.
The heroine went from studying pastry in France to working in a more "avant-garde" French fashion circle. After returning, Hepburn's classic little black dress became a handsome trousers. The somewhat abrupt and exaggerated transformation of the original brought the favor of the two male protagonists, and it became very weak in this part. The heroine was not surprised. At the same time, Hepburn's silly and sweet character has become a chaotic and sentimental literary character, an awkward character who pursues exotic customs and tortures himself.
The male protagonist was prematurely determined to be the eldest brother. Perhaps the old version is a household name in Western society and does not need to maintain this suspense. It even added depth, which made the eldest brother fall in love with her another layer of reason. It has long been the origin of the wrong and affectionate confession made by the heroine before going to Paris when he was a child. The eldest brother is also a poor man lost in the business world and needs to go to Paris to release his soul. I think one of the flaws is how to increase the charm of the heroine. The screenwriter uses her artistic atmosphere in France to render the most urgent humanistic character of the hero. The hero's mother said, go, don't think. Can you pursue true love? What an ironic potential setting.
One of the manifestations of the business society is that old mother. My favorite funny character in the old version is the old man. From the three marriages of the two sons to the battle of olives, they are my favorites. The new version of the old mother appeared on the stage, with the appearance of being obedient to the government and refusing to withdraw from the dynasty. After interfering with the second son, he interfered with the eldest son. For the sake of the plot, he turned into a confidant aunt to let him free from time to time.
Paris, I can understand why this generation of impoverished youths go to Paris, France. It's all made up by movies. The old version at least still has the touching "Life of the Rose", which is really touching and touching when it is sung. The new version has become a strange loft style, as well as a strange fashion display. Maybe Hollywood is also inferior to the quality of making movies from one generation to the next.
billy wilder is good at hilarious + absurd serial dramas. it runs in the family is an extremely successful stalk. The new version retains many important plot points. Although familiar, it reminds people of the old version from time to time, which adds to the discomfort of the new version. The elder brother used this stalk to succeed twice. In the new version, the heroine gave a slap in anger and looked innocent. I feel that the screenwriters are quite feminist, or that Hollywood is fully aware of the rise of female consciousness, which leads to a completely different approach. Can't tell the story of a sparrow that turns into a phoenix too old-fashioned!
All in all, I still like billy wilder.
