How come this film has been remade? Why didn't they just dub the German original into English? Anyway, if you like this one, check out Mr. Hankes's latest production "Das Weisse Band / The White Ribbon". It's sick as hell also!
saw it last night, almost word for word remake. the original was better, but the remake did live up to the original pretty well. haneke is a great director. true horror is in plot and characters, not the onscreen violence. great movie(s)!
Haven't seen the original(terrible I know), and the only Haneke film I've seen is Cache, but that was a great film, so high hopes for this one, Haneke can't ruin his own film.
It's purely because the US audience is so prejudiced against watching foreign films (i.e. films with subtitles) as they can't read words and watch the film at the same time so they have to 'Americanise' them.
The original is totally disturbing. I can't see this remake touching it.
Don't be an elitist prick, not every American hates foreign films, just like I'm sure not every European hates Americans, even though the former is probably more true.
Yes I am. But the thing is, you can't go around saying "thicko yanks" thinking that we're all going to understand that you're referencing someone else. You either wanted to be offensive in the first place thus being an elitist prick, or you thought that we all read or watch Movie Review and would get the reference, which clearly I don't and I doubt enough people to get that "reference" do also.
Wow repo...U are truly onto prove yourself the biggest prick on the face of earth by posting all your pitiful comments. Anyways its your choice, who am I to discourage. But, I hope U are not a representative of ur people.
I'm glad you used the word "frontier" (proper spelling, you're welcome), seeing as our "frontiers" are giant oceans. We do not have trains connecting dozens of small countries, as is the case across Europe. If we Americans are guilty of anything, it's merely a circumstance of geography. Please stop being the cliched, pompous Euro snob. Most Americans are stupid and can't see through your bullshit, but this one can....
North Americans should learn other languages and let this money invested on remakes for better causes, as creating more schools of foreign languages into the country.
Every Hollywood producer the world over is laughing at you right now. That said, the original Funny Games is unreal and I doubt the remake will be as acclaimed. Also, the same director is doing the remake, perhaps you should be directing your comments to him and not us North Americans, who only speak English, apparently.
the original :Funny Games: was absolutely perfect. why haneke would even think of lowering his own masterpiece to this state is mind-boggling to me.. Naomi Watts !? i dont think shes up to the challenge.. and also i think tim roth is miscast in this.. JUST WATCH THE ORIGINAL VERSION AND SEE WHAT I MEAN! peace out!
I don't understand wky haneke made a remake of is own german movie .. I hope this version of funny games would be as good as the original, at least naomi, tim .. are such a good actors ... anyway I love michael haneke
umm... is this a shot by shot reproduction of the original?!?!? kind of like the psycho remake except its actually the same director...... fuck it michael pitt rocks.
I know, "Bonehead" is my favorite song! Yamataka Eye's screaming lyrics fit perfectly with the carnage onscreen. Oh well, I guess "Hall of the Mountain King" works somewhat, especially if they're going for a tribute to the original Clockwork Orange trailer.
He wanted to bring the film to an American audience. Not as many people are aware of or will seek out a foreign language film from a decade ago. Plus, it's more timely now with films like SAW and HOSTEL running rampant.
Bueno lo dejo en español, pq aquí los papanatis no se enteran de nada... yo digo que el trailer de esta peli es una copia del de la naranja mecánica, pero sólo los trailers. La peli ya sé que no tiene nada que ver. De echo este remake me parece innecesario.
He's not saying the movies are similar, he's saying the TRAILERS for each film are similar in style, which they are. Both use the classical music and the words in the same way.

@nonoo because it was made for the American audience and it wasn't reaching out to them being in German that's why he remade it.

I'm not being "a prick" at all. I'm merely paraphrasing from Haneke himself. See Movie Review issue 381 for proof.
