@why care

Psst… they kind of have to watch all of these remakes and reboots – they\’re a website that reviews all new movies that come out.

Why do people make such a big deal about remakes and reboots? Do they wipe any existence of the original? Do they change the original in any way? Is it possible to still rent (or stream) the original?

Can you avoid the new one by not watching it?

That\’s the biggest one. People will produce a product or service that makes money and is popular. Remakes and reboots make a lot of money. A whole new generation of audiences are introduced to a story, and obviously fans of the original are also interested (if you didn\’t go to a few yourself, you wouldn\’t have an opinion on the quality of how remakes are handled).

It\’s simple, if you truly don\’t want remakes… don\’t go. In the end, it really doesn\’t matter. You only have yourself and people like you to blame for remakes.

In fairness, you could make an argument that more films are remakes of Kurosawa\’s movies than they actually give him credit for – and he gets credit for a hell of a lot.
