The article isn' t about remakes but it mentions two of them.
What' s wrong with the original movies?
For example, I think that the japanese version of Shall we dance was a really interesting movie and I saw no need for improvement or adapting it to other markets.
But then they make an american version and it sucked balls!
The Ring and many other movies were also worse in their remake versions (In my humble opinion of course).
What is with japanese movies that americans don' t like? Can' t you relate to the situations because the people have black hair or something? Or is it the film companies trying to make an extra buck? It' s a mystery to me.
Or do you americans here actually feel that the japanese versions aren' t good enough?
