There are no men in the film, no incest, and even no cp.
How can people pay attention?
No matter how well you shoot, the final result is often criticized and the box office sucks.
I watched the remake of "Metropolis" by Nen Wufang in 2012. I don't know if David Cronenberg's head was caught in the door or what happened. He even thought of a way to transform the original inability to communicate between the middle classes in "Metropolis" into a The alienation and indifference between people in the modern city. Presumably, the films Nen Wufang received in those years also wanted to reverse his image of eating youth in "Twilight". Although the film has merits, it still feels like a mess after watching it. After all, the German version of "Metropolis" and Osamu Tezuka's "Metropolis" are two examples ahead, so you can expect the response to be much better.
Look at Milla Jovovich's "The Three Musketeers", it simply subverted the original version, and Shengsheng made the three Musketeers version of the Resident Evil series, without looking at the costumes or background, it is a Resident Evil s story. It is also a wonder to see Jovovich spinning and jumping non-stop through the period of Louis XIV.
The reality is that if you don't keep up with the times in the movies these days, no matter how gorgeous the shots are, it's hard for anyone to take care of you. Watching the remake of "The Brave Seven Flood Dragons", not only has the American spirit of the main theme been added, but blacks are the protagonists, and even CP is used. Can you say that people don't work hard? (A movie review column is attached)
To be honest, this year, I have remade a controversial film with feelings that can neither please the emotional audience nor attract new audiences. It is better to find an opportunity to travel through time and space like the Marvel world to subvert the world view. , take the opportunity to change the actors to start a new story. The remake, it seems, is often the wishful thinking of the production company.
In fact, the theme of "Ben-Hur" is quite eternal, brotherly love, hatred of subjugation, the suffering of leaving home, regaining freedom, and obtaining redemption. Many screenwriters have mastered this routine. Don't you see the routine in "Game of Thrones" where the big bear returns to the dragon mother, and most of the scenes in "Gladiator" follow the path of Ben Hur. Any of the above can be used as a framework for a movie, but it is difficult to take into account these elements in the movie when they are shot together.
Greek-style tragic structure + epic narrative style + reunion at the end of redemption does not seem to be flattering at present. It is necessary to talk about faith and religion so that others can believe it and come true. After all, epics only belong to heroes. People just wait and see, who cares how much you are eternal. Even if you pull out the "film quality guarantor" - Morgan Freeman, it won't work.
This version of "Ben-Hur" is not so bad-looking, at least in the final arena horse racing, the blood and the mountains and the tsunami were shot, and even a little bit of the theme of redemption. Looking at these films with theatrical structure, they often have the drawbacks of acceptance. For example, when Xiao Lizi filmed "Romeo and Juliet" that year, he was indeed shocked by his former beauty. There are also 14 years of "Cymbeline", a large number of old drama bones and small fresh meat, and "Prince's Revenge" which has been continuously remade.
In the final analysis, the remake is still a matter of feelings, and it is a question of whether everyone accepts it or not.
