People have many different views on remakes of movies. A lot of people just think of them as a money grab for uncreative moviemakers. I do not agree at all, I think they are excellent was to appeal to the publics nostalgia. They can also be used as upgrades from the original, seeing as the cameras of yester-year make movies look like they are being viewed through a used coffee filter.
Few remakes pay respects to the classics if done correctly. An excellent example of this is Oceans 11, which used the biggest stars of its time, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin, and told the story of old army buddies getting together to pull off a heist in Las Vegas. The remake is the same general story of buddies getting together to rob casinos in Las Vegas. They also used the biggest stars of our time, George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon, and the story flowed perfectly together. I personally saw the remake before the original and I can honestly say they are equally good. Critics, on the other hand, have a different opinion the website Rotten Tomatoes gave the original Oceans 11 48 percent. The remake got 81 percent. In my opinion, this differentiation in scores is unbelievable. The movies are almost exactly the same only making minor changes to incorporate the technology of the day? The character development also gets changes. While both movies have 11 main characters, the remake only develops the story of three people that keeps the story easier to understand. I will be talking more about character development in next week’s blog. To wrap this up, if done correctly remakes can be an excellent trip down nostalgia lane.
