They say so; didn't watch it yet. First of all, they say you get to know some of the characters past, unlike the 2017 version. And there is no political correctness not to include a black slave character either (scored it 5 instead of 7 because of this). So those 2 things seem enough to make it better.
shareYeah. It is.

share4 Reasons out of many many more the original is world's better-
-Geraldine Page
-Clint Eastwood
-Elizabeth Hartman
-Don Siegel
No. Same kind of rubbish.
shareI definitely prefer the Original, just cause it's feels more like horror film and it delves more deep into the characters and the ending feels more downbeat. But I think this Sofia Coppola version is a lot better then some give it credit for, I think Colin Farrell is fantastic, he goes from smooth charmer into sad loser and is the best thing in it, I thought Eastwood played a better bastard though. I thought Nicole Kidman was good too, but she's no Geraldine Page. I thought Kristen Dunst played her part well and Elle Fanning was a little underused. I thought Oona Laurence as Amy was the standout from the younger cast, shame to see Angourie Rice who was great as Ryan Gosling's daughter in the awesome The Nice Guys, somewhat wasted.
As a remake, it's nothing goundbreaking. It didn't overstay it's welcome and it's one of Coppola's film's I actually enjoyed, she's a director I just don't get the hype around. Solid 6/10. Watch the original instead.
They are almost identical
