Hollywood remakes

[Mantis421]

I think the reason alot of americans especially didn't like the Jap versions of films like the Ring and the grudge is americans are use to movies that have been dumbed down to make them easier to understand. For the most part american audiences need the story and plot in films spelled out to them, they don't want films that make them think. Even with anime some of my friends who just got into anime through me love stuff theat is easy to follow, but dislike stories that make you think stuff like Kino's Journey and Last Exile. Get an american audience to watch Stanley Kuberick or Terry Gilliam film and most can't follow it because they have been conditioned for simpler story lines. European and asian audiences havent had their intelegence insulted for all the years with films like they have here in the USA
