Remakes or Overkills?
The melody of piano keys fill the air when this familiar phrase is uttered, “Play it again Sam. Play as Time Goes By.” All at once, we are drawn to Dooley Wilson’s voice, which entrances us to sink into the sad yet mesmerizing love story of Humphry Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, Casablanca.
The memory of Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale who follows the Yellow Brick Road in hopes of reaching the Emerald City and finding her way home is one most of us can share.
These are just a few examples of classic films of Hollywood’s Gold Age which have clearly proven that decades after they were first released. Their ability to capture the hearts and minds of moviegoers around the world has not been lost. Unforgettable scenes that made us laugh; cry and quake in suspense have not been tarnished by overdone stunts and graphics.
However, tragically not all of them have been so lucky. Have producers and directors become obsessed with adding special effects and computer graphics to classic stories which in the end has turned them into what could best be described as a stunt devil circus act? Is this merely a way to cover up the bad acting that has completely obliterated famous lines and scenes?
Biblical times? Or a galaxy far away?
