WARNING: SPOILERS CONTAINED HEREIN....SPOILER WARNING...!
The merit is that many more people will see this film -- including the original!
Many of the greatest plays and movies are remade again and again. Do you have a son or daughter. What if your daughter paints a daisy at school. Are you going to tell her that her art work is meaningless because others have painted daisies before? No. Unless you do not love her, you will just enjoy another painting of a daisy in this world. It may not be as beautiful of a daisy as her older sister painted last year, but it is still her own precious art.
I have little doubt in my mind that the director and the actors for Criminal are all in their ways like the daughters painting daisies. They were doing their best to create this movie, this art, with the art of directing and acting. To copy another film is just to celebrate it as a good film.
Okay. Enough of this silly discussion. I am excited that I will finally get to see Nine Queens tomorrow! I enjoyed Criminal very much, and I am expected to enjoy Nine Queens just as much, and hopefully MORE...!!!!!!!!! ;) ;) ;)
Proud to be an Anti-War American who chooses not to hate, and I love how this movie takes the man who is so low-down and will hurt anyone and everyone, and the majority of folks involved in the elaborate scheme are making sure he gets put in his proper place -- and quite poetically. Just lovely!! ;)
