Netflix’s “One Day” Is The Right Way To Do A Reboot
We’ve been subjected to some pretty terrible remakes lately, and most people are tired of seeing their favorite movies or TV shows turned into a newer, supposedly shinier model. Even worse, many of these reboots are injected with an insufferably woke storyline that not only takes away from the original magic of the movie but makes it entirely annoying to endure.
Some of the most disastrous remakes as of late include HBO’s revival of Gossip Girl, in which the fabulous main characters are wrestling with their “privilege.” The show lacked the previous character development and instead offered one-dimensional versions that are hyper-aware of wealth inequality (boring). Then, there are all the female-led reboots, which are desperate attempts to shove a feminist stance down the throats of audiences. These new narratives lack tension and complexity, as their inevitable triumphs are devoid of struggle or personal development.
