The old original is 1000 times better.

Tommi Ohrner played the role much better. Somehow he looked more like it and his laughter was much more natural, while this boys laugh is not real.

Excellent movie to get some idea, whats wrong with this world of crisis

The simple facts about the movie are known now.

But the mainplot does handle around the trading(and exclusion of people) and its results for the world and the character of humans... so secondary narcissism and a bit greed.

The absence of conscience is a problem for the intention of the film and book, so it is simply a problem for the film and its comprehensibility...

No. Nonono.

This is just to forget just after watching. They transformed a special series to fit the expectations from today - or what they think the expectationas are.

Just go for the original with its uique style, athmosphere and soundtrack from a time when they dared to go a new direction.
