Original vs Remake
● The lion king
● Psycho
● Ghostbusters
● Charlie and the chocolate factory
The Lion King
1994 Original
If you take a look at the original movie, then you will say that it is filled with hand drawn animated characters. Who had vibrant colours in them. The humour and emotion of the movie is the one which made it a great hit. Expressions and emotions of the characters as well as the song circle of life was the real reason for a complete hit of the movie.
2019 Remake
Even though the remake was filled with CGI animation. But it was not justifying the original. The expressions of the animals have not been seen anywhere. Fans did not like the remake as well as they liked the original.
Psycho
Original 1960
The cycle is the masterpiece of the horror genre. At that time this movie by Alfred Hitchcock really set scales. The shower scene still lives with the audiences and terrifies them to this day.
Remake 1998
The remake was the take on the original by the director Gus Van Sant. He took Vince Vaughn as the lead. The audience did not like the movie because it was unable to spark some new terror within them.
Ghostbusters
Original 1984
This movie set out to become a perfect cultural phenomenon. Because friends in New York City were working constantly to catch ghosts. This movie is a perfect blend of fun and comedy.
Remake 2016
It was filled under the lead cost which was female. This movie received mixed reviews. The fans of the original Ghostbusters did not like the remake. This movie was expected to give higher standards but it failed to do so. Overall the movie is good and gives great vibes.
Charlie and the chocolate factory
Original 1971
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was the original movie. It had good humour with dark and greedy work. This was really nostalgic for the fans. Because it filled the childhood with great wonders and expectations of the chocolate factory.
Remake 2007
Johnny Depp played an amazing role as Willy Wonka. The remake movie shows us the elusive childhood of Willy Wonka just as the original. But the fans are still in love with the original Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory. Both the movies have different fan bases.
Conclusion
It doesn’t matter if the original was better than the remake. Each movie has different fan bases. Every movie is trying to deliver the best experience for the audience. The people who watched certain movies in their childhood have no nostalgic expressions attached to them that’s why it becomes hard to adapt for them.
