guys i don't know why i said "respective" instead of "respectful" either

International movie: Exists A terrible american remake: Hey

Remakes in general bug me but remakes of international films just baffle me... they don’t need to be done just watch the original. God i hate hollywood.

Pretty valid points. Paying tributes in a lazy way is pretty... Lazy

How NOT To Make A Remake Exhibit A: Downhill Exhibit B: Lion King Exhibit C: Oldboy

I can tell this video is gonna be a lot more relevant and important to remember when they inevitably remake Parasite for no reason but because American remakes are a thing because $$$

they shoulda called this one Force *MANURE*

How to make a Remake: 1. Don't be Downhill

This makes me even more terrified about that American live-action remake of Your Name...

Dam? I can’t wait for the Emoji Movie remake

Yet another Scandinavian film ruined by Hollywood. Just like "Let the right one in" though atleast that was tolerable. Also, Force Majeure was robbed of an Oscar nomination.

I like how you can tell that he basically just saw the movie and didn't like so much that he quickly made a passive aggressive video to just let out all the thoughts in his head.

Sounds like what The Upside was to Les Intouchables

I'm upset I didn't know this was a remake sooner. Would've saved me about $10 at the theater yesterday, but hey at least I have a new movie to watch.

A good thing about this film is that I had never heard of the original so now I can go watch that.

I love that this is quick and straight to the point, like it’s not convoluted or metaphorical; it’s just stating that this film did not need to be made and why

this video came at the perfect time, a quick break in the midst of essay writing madness!!

I really like this format like a lot

Movies are cool people can watch them and they are cool good evening to all the people around the world

I’ve only seen 5 2020 films so far, and yet I always forget that I have seen this film until someone else brings it up.

1:01 is that gabe from the office

Great commentary. Thank you.

i saw this in cinema with my parents, the last film we watched before lockdown. there was 1 other couple in the room with us and they left halfway through and my parents said it was the worst thing they ever saw. i didn’t even know it was a remake and i hate it even more now that i know

Now you convinced me to see both to see how good and awfulneach 1 of them are

I didn’t even know this was a remake

Will probably wanted a skiing holiday

solid video with solid points. the editing is smooth as fuck

Someone show this to Disney please

I had no idea Force Majeure had gotten a remake! It seems really weird that Will Ferrell is playing that role. Great video!

we love to see it.

I didn’t even know that this movie existed lol

How to make a remake dont be bad enough for karsten to talk about it

wonderful video as always k man

Great points, Great video

You don’t have a Nolan rank on your Letterboxd. Would be a lot cooler if you did.

IMO one of the worst remakes I've attempted to watch was The Secret in their Eyes. The original was spicy shit, great storytelling with great characters and cinematography. The remake butchered the story and characters and made it one giant clusterfuck at around 40 minutes into the film (when I stopped watching). I'm going to hop into the sofa and try to watch it all the way through.

well said sir! Couldn't have said it better myself

Bruh idk why a good amount of your vids miss the mark. Your best vids are still your film festival vlogs and what you watched in a month series.

Downhill went Downhill real fast... *BA DUM TSSSSSH*

Interested to see how West Side Story turns out this year

you should do wes Anderson ranked

Please include the music used at the end Thank you!

In this instance remakes have a net positive. The director probably made some good money and connections. Without the remake we may not have Triangle of Happiness

1:22 Ok, now i'm worried for the Eurovision movie since Will Ferrell is going to be in that as well (he's even producing it!).

Thanks for this profound analysis! What`s wrong with Will? I just saw "Eurovision song contest", an absolutely amazing wonderful and funny movie, with a marvellous irresistible Will Ferrell as great as an Islandic mountain peak. And now he`s made this remake of one most outstanding films of the last decade? Why?

Force Majeure is so damn good.

I like to dip my tostitos in the guacamole

This video is good

the same thing is going to happen to another round :((

What software do you use to make your videos?

I'm all in on your point about the cartoony portrayal of Europeans in American movies.

I just had an epiphany! They made this film for the same reason Adam Sandler makes many of his films. To send the stars to vacation spots and have them also be paid to take vacations. Will Ferrell and Julia Louis-Dreyfus were PAID to go on vacation.

Hey i'm here after reading you letterboxd review and i feel like you did me dirtnasty. Still supporting the boy though.

I never knew anyone non-swedish ever saw Force Majeure (or Turist as I know it)

can't wait for the american remake of parasite !

This video is great, but there's a simpler answer to the question posed in the title: How to NOT Make a Remake: 1. Don't make it. Much easier, and cheaper, and respective (respectful)

I don't think that the people who are going to watch this movie know or care about the fact that it's a remake. They want to watch and American comedy and that is what they are going to get.

No remake will ever be as bad as the Skins U.S. remake.

The passive aggressiveness is strong with this one.

My brother said he likes this movie and I tried convincing him it sucks but he hates having in depth discussions about movies. So I might show him this since it's only 3 minutes long.

oh my god I watched this movie a week ago and I’m still thinking about how bad it was.

Adam driver video please

You should keep that style.

I had no idea this movie existed... was it not marketed at all?

lol Americans stereotype Europeans in movies like they aren't a continent composed by 50 different countries with 50 different cultures

The actors needed to pay their gas and electricity bills.

There are some good remakes like True Grit and Scarface, and there are bad remakes like Poseidon and Psycho.

Imagine yourself an American remake of Parasite...

Karsten you were so angry here... I'm afraid,,

How to make a remake Step one: Dont be Spike Lee Old Boy Step two: Dont be female Ghostbusters or Oceans Eleven Step three: Dont be 2019 Lion King or Aladdin.

I liked it

Shots fired? Nah. Straight up nuked.

I hope somebody remakes the disney star wars trilogy but good

thank you for making this, the first time I saw the trailer for downhill I just sighed because I knew it would be an absolute piece of garbage

Watches the Intouchables and the upside.... Still continues to remake this film....

This is literally thus karsten thus making fun of down hill

In that case remember to make it funny

I have seen neither of these movies.

I've been waiting for someone to say this because holy shit all of the amazing things about Force Majeure were completely ruined. I mean that isn't to say i wasn't expecting much from it.

Kersten Ronkfist is my hiy skool deaploma. Fite me Kwenten Terenteeno.

This hits me hard because they announced a remake of Little Shop of Horrors with Scarlet Johansson as Audrey and Chris Evans as yhe dentist and that makes me furious.

Actually Will Ferrell is a great dramatic actor though, so it’s definitely not a casting problem.

This video is about how to make a remake, not how to NOT make a remake.

Why was this made??? ….Money $$$

Those damn 'Muricans! (jk love y'all)

haha excellent

The first point reminds me of how Anthony Burgress' dislike the American release of his novel. This is because the last chapter, an epilogue, is left out, where Alex cleans up his act and leads a normal life. Burgress' theme was growing up and leaving out the last chapter destroyed that. On a side note, with the last original chapter left in, there are 21 chapters, which was done on purpose, 21 being the age where you become an adult. More on the topic of films, as well as my personal opinion, I think that while Kubrik's adaptation was OK, the book(even without the last chapter) was better, and that the movie destroyed the perceive theme of the shorter American book. The theme I think the book is about is how both the poor and criminals are mistreated and used as a scapegoat by both the government and detractors of the government. Alex attempts suicide because the people who he stayed with, including the person who's wife Alex previously killed, want to prove how wrong the government. Thus, the message is also to not trust those(the people who 'helped' Alex) who hate something(the government), even if you don't like said thing. However, in Kubrik's movie, Alex is killed because the man recognizes him, which clearly does not happen in the book, and I think that this makes the story more bland, boring, and theme/messageless.

How to not remake a movie: -Lion King 2019 -FANT4STIC

You could say the remake went downhill

Dreyfus was too qualified for this film

Shia LaBeouf ranked!

Split infinitive in the title...

Step 3.5: be respectful*, not respective

This remake is a shame...American directors need to appropriate everything and make everything a cliché.
