Spielberg and Kushner haven’t really put down the original film publicly. It’s more the entertainment media doing that. Spielberg knew Robert Wise and would not want to insult him after the latter has died.
I saw it. It isn’t.
It’s what happens when you do a remake with PC writers.
I heard it was very respectful of the original. Did you enjoy it?
The Passion of the Christ was in Aramaic (and a little Latin), with no subtitles. It was a monster hit.
Yeah, let’s put on a oxygen stifling face diaper, and sit in a movie theater for 2 hours, watching Spielberg’s latest WOKE pontificating.
No amount of casting could have saved “Temple of Doom”. It was just horrible.
I’d have given anything to have been able to sleep through Doctor Zhivago.
It was a baaaad version of Thugee history, IMO...
Very much so. It really isn’t changed all that much. It is better acted and directed.
It isn’t “WOKE pontificating”. It’s quite good.
Right!!!
There is no way that anything from HollyWeird could do to update any of the musicals from year ago.
From previews I have seen, it is totally out of whack, with its display of female anatomy and phony-sounding fifties talk. It doesn’t capture the zeitgeist or whatever.
You’re talking a whole nother dramatic category now. You go to a new Shakespeare production to see how they do it this time.
I was never interested in a remake of West Side Story. However, even if I had been interested, after reading that Spielberg was having the dialogue in Spanish with NO subtitles (because that would be racist), I figured that I could find something else to spend my money on.
I’ll stick to Shakespeare’s original.
“A boy like that would kill your brother. Forget that boy and find another. One of your own kind. Stick to your own kind,” Anita says to Maria.
I'll take your word for it.
