They remade this garbage?

They remade this garbage?

Not a fan of the original, either, but from the trailers, it looks like an extremely loose adaptation. There doesn't seem to be any political context at all, there's no meta-narrative about the novel, and the murder is turned into a personal family vendetta for the main character.

I kinda want to see it just to see if Billy Ray really did watch the original and completely misunderstood why it won an Oscar.

Netflix only has the remake. It is very mediocre and I'm left wondering why I bothered. Also Julia Roberts overacts so much in this film it made my brain hurt.
