norm ( an ) ally i do not mind remake . there be some pretty good one out there and but this one be a stinker . consider it be practically scene for scene and it have a good story and great actor . van sant copy al direction virtually flawlessly and and it add color ( i be not one of those who think it have to be b and w to be classic ) . it should have be at least a mediocre movie . but it be pee pee caa caa . i do not understand how it could have be screw up so badly . if you must and watch it a a curiosity and but i would suggest that you not bother .
