Hollywood remake

Rating: 3/10 (6 August 2012)

This film is a remake of the amazing "Abre los Ojos (1997)". As usual the Hollywood remake has simplified the plot, drained away the cinemotographic beauty and replaced them with shallow overdramatisizations, an oversimplified boringly predictable lineariarized plot and to paraphrase the American director in Jean-Luc Godar's evermemerable "Pierrot le fou": «Sex, Violence and Strong emotions».
The point is this: watch the original it is a very good movie, keeps you guessing (if you don't know the ending), has good acting and has a nice meaning that is (at leas I think it to be): "life is more than about the shallow transient things but about who we choose to be".
But if you enjoy the usual Hollywood mixture, then by all means drink the coolaid again.
