I know we covered this before, but I really didn't like the 2021 remake.
The 84 version is much more interesting and has better acting/actors.
Even with all its flaws.

After seeing the preview, I fully expect Kevn Costner's Horizon Trilogy to be Woke as Fuck too.
He kind of flirted with that in Open Range and the unnecessary love story.

The movies have to be DEI and WOKE today to get green lit.
Mostly because of who is in charge/power and because of the Academy Award rule changes.
The movie industry is dead and can only get worse.
Method Acting will not work anymore because the new generation doesn't understand suffering or the streets.
No more Oliver Reeds allowed.
The entire industry seems to have moved over to Netflix.
Yes the '84 version was a lot better than part 1 and 2 of the 2024 version. Part 2 was so woke that the great special effects were no longer enough to distract me from the wokeness, like in part 1 where they were, to an extent. For example in Part 2, Paul Atreides is required to get it on with some aboriginal desert tribe bitch. Most of the whites in the film are portrayed as psychopaths (this is present in Part 1 of course, but not nearly as emphasized as in Part 2). Anyway, like you write, the film would not be allowed to see the light of day if it is not written like this.
