Fix You - Remake Tribute

This is a film dedicated to all the remakes out there... or is it?

By the way, before people start posting comments about the "bad grammar" in the message that appears halfway through the video, it's a perfectly acceptable form of sentence structure to use "fixed" instead of "fixing" in Scots English - look it up in Wikipedia for further examples.

Although I don't exactly agree with the message this video gives, it's a great video nonetheless and I give kudos for the effort in conveying the message so well.

For instance, Eli Roth is about to "fix" The Bad Seed, the 1956 classic about a child serial killer. He says "The original was a great psychological thriller, and we are going to bastardize and exploit it, ramping up the body counts and killings. This is going to be scary, bloody fun, and we're going to create the next horror icon, a la Freddy, Jason and Chucky. She's this cunning, adorable kid who loves to kill but also loves 'N Sync." Wonderful. Just great.

Of course remakes don't have to be bad -- especially with the same guy at the helm! Cecil B. DeMille remade a lot of his originally silent, b/w films in sound & color. But there's a difference between remakes and an auteur director trying to do an "improved version". It's a subtle thing, especially when it comes to horror films, which need more subtlety, not less. Too tempting to add fangs, blood, etc., where none existed in the original!

Tou do realize that Fantasia 2000 was made by disney as a sequel to the original and was not infact a remake? And if you look at history most art is a remake of the past.

That was really good! And it goes along with my theory about films today. At least 85% of the movies coming out these days are members of the following categories: Remakes Based-off-Novel Based-off-Comic Book Sequel Based-off-TV Show True Story/Biopic Based-off-Broadway Hollywood hasn't had an original thought pass through it's skull in sometime. I think the last really original movie I personally have seen in Se7en...
