Would The Old Boy Remake Have Been Better Received If Spike Lees Name Wasnt On It

[Mowgli]

That's because it wasn't a black movie I don't know what the fukk @Mowgli is talking about, but that movie has white producers and got Spike as a director for hire only. None of this is Spike's vision

A black director is to much power for most caucasian viewers unfortunately.

What exactly does this have to do with the Old Boy remake failing? I know you trolling breh, so I'll let you cook.

I agree with OP, i think if the flick said *from the director of Seven* it probably would have done better.

Yea, but not when the black man is directing the white one. You're like, something feels unnatural about this dynamic.

Yes, they dont have guns, Tras.

I like spike lee as a director...I like black movies and black directors...this movie had no soul

Finally watched this I liked it. Never saw the original tho.

 

[Kaypain]

never saw the original, and the Spike Lee version was decent to me.

no fukks given.

I enjoyed it

Nah the movie was good. I just think cacs were mad that they had some rich incest family where the dad was piping his son and his daughter, so there was a backlash. My wife and i were enthralled through the entire film.

Cacs ain't got no room to talk. All the white washing and bullshyt they been doing in Hollywood

i just saw this thread title and forgot about the remake even existing..lol wow
very forgettable.

 

[BXKingPin82]

I enjoyed it

me too
and I had the original bootleg jammy when the the shyt first dropped
to be truthful

I like Spikes shyt better

 

[NobodyReally]

I really enjoyed Spike's retelling of the story.

And yes, I think people just come to a Spike Lee flick with hate in their hearts for the brotha. Especially since this movie was released after the Django backlash he received.

 

[Dwolf]

It was a good movie. The fight scene in the original can not be fukked with tho.

 

[AnonymityX1000]

Shortened by the studio by like a half hour, the shyt was not promoted at all hence it was only in theaters for like a week. If you’re not going to let Spike Lee do it his way plus not promote it what was the point? Still glad we got the Elizabeth Olsen nude scene though.

That made it all worth the trouble. lol
