Hollywood is dead. Brain dead.
It cannot make anything original anymore. Since they ran out of ideas, they resort to remakes, one after the other...
We had the 1950, 1991, 1995 versions of "TFOTB". Now, we have a sanitized version of the same story adapted to a more modern mindset and reflecting current mores and values. And because of it, "TFOTB" sucks, as expected.
Modern life in America is a caricature of what it once was, and everything that is made based on how things should look like feels abysmally stupid, dull and depressing.
Do yourself a favor and stay away from it.
