The movie is a remake of Japanese director Akira Kurosawa\u2019s 1963 film <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High and Low<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Highest 2 Lowest<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we follow the life of David King, a wealthy record label executive who is buying back ownership of his record company, Stackin&#8217; Hits Records. As he closes in on the deal, he receives a call informing him that his son has been kidnapped and a ransom of $17 million is requested for his safe return.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it\u2019s later revealed that the kidnapped person is not King\u2019s son but his chauffeur\u2019s. King, played by Denzel Washington, must then decide whether to pay the ransom or step away.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u200b<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Screenwriter Alan Fox wrote a majority of the film. He thought that reworking <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High and Low<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s plot about early capitalism in Japan into a story about late-stage capitalism in the United States would be captivating. After reading Fox\u2019s script, Spike Lee signed on to direct the film.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u200b<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The kidnapper has the potential to be written with a lot more depth than what we\u2019re given. What pushes an impoverished person to kidnap a child for ransom money? The film hints at this, but sticks to making him evil for the sake of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High and Low<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the kidnapper is portrayed with humanity and fear in his final moments. We\u2019re shown the upsetting environments and situations that led him to his desperation and how money can corrupt anyone to commit heinous crimes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u200b\u200b<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This lack of depth is common among film remakes. It\u2019s easy to fall into the trap of blindly recreating scenes and plot points from the original film without understanding why those ideas worked in the first place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a film with this much passion and attempted originality can end up as a lazy rehash of a better movie, what does that say about the plethora of other remakes?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s evident that these reimaginings are made with the intent of maximizing earnings by reusing recognizable material, rather than trying to expand or improve upon the source material.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two of the highest-grossing films this year\u2014<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lilo &amp; Stitch<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How To Train Your Dragon<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014are remakes. The movies are largely passionless and prioritize greed and profit over making a statement or trying to resonate with an audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Highest 2 Lowest <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">could have been more than that. The ways it differs from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High and Low<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is interesting and opens with exciting possibilities. But the film dilutes the original\u2019s core themes and messaging to the point that it almost seems to be against it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a remake after all, and even if it\u2019s less of an inherent cash-grab like other adaptations, it is still based around the same core philosophy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It would be nice to see this trend become less prolific in the film industry, but with the recent successes of adaptations like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Naked Gun<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Highest 2 Lowest<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it seems Hollywood won\u2019t stop producing these types of movies anytime soon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Renowned director Spike Lee returned to the silver screen with his newest film, Highest 2 Lowest on Aug. 15.
