• an interesting feedback from Sarah, a classmate: “Asian films, not influenced by Christianity or religions with good and evil, don’t focus on good vs. evil narratives and instead is unsettling in its ambiguity and lack of reason or control and the last line says that remakes of these films are unsuccessful because they try to force these narratives into good vs. evil archetypes and explain them to the audience.”
