These Movie Remakes Are WAY Better Than Their Originals..

Welcome back to Flixified, today on the channel we are going to feature the Movie Remakes That Are Actually Better Than The Original. As the saying goes, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” but when it comes to movies, sometimes you don’t realize it was ever broken until something new comes along. Movie remakes vary from the good to the awful, but when they’re good - they’re great! New innovations in technology, societal and cultural changes all contribute to the desire to update classic movies. Remakes work best when they’re not trying to merely replicate the original, but instead, offer something new to it. Through new reimaginings of classic movies, remakes are capable of improving the details while maintaining the heart of the original movie.

'West Side Story' (2021) Loosely based on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, West Side Story originally began as a Broadway musical in 1957. Shortly after in 1961, the play’s original creator Jerome Robbins collaborated with director Robert Wise to bring the award-winning stage play to the big screen. Its film adaptation was a success, winning several Academy Awards including Best Picture. However, Steven Spielberg’s 2021 adaptation updates the classic tragic love story to better reflect the culture of the characters. Unlike its 1961 predecessor which saw its actors Natalie Wood and George Chakiris wearing darker make-up to appear Puerto Rican, Spielberg cast Puetro-Rican and people of Latino descent in his remake. 'Little Women' (2019) Louisa May Alcott’s classic American novel Little Women has seen many adaptations in cinema, TV, and even anime. Being the first version of Little Women directed by a woman, Gillian Armstrong's 1994 adaptation starring Winona Ryder updated the timeless story for a modern generation. 24 years after Armstrong’s adaptation, Little Women found another retelling in Greta Gerwig’s 2019 film. Taking creative liberties with the narrative, Gerwig’s Little Women makes great use of non-linear storytelling to strengthen the emotional arcs of the film.
