Day of the Jackal and Jackal Comparison Conclusion

Jackal and Day of the Jackal:
Conclusion

So, taking everything into consideration, are reamkes 'worth it'?
The two films have an obvious visual contrast; we can sum this is using an analogy.
The two films are both directed at different audiences, but both have one aim for the film; to make money.
But if the reason to make the film, why is the remake so much worse that the original? But the question is, is Jackal really less good, or just   different?

The Day of the Jackal makes the users think for themselves and keeps their mind active throughout the film and involved with the film, whereas the Jackal is more of a 'sit back and enjoy' film, where no thought is required.

The second film is made for a more modern audience, who have 'fast' busy lives, and are used to things being spoonfed to them and wouldn't expect it any different. The remake can be linked to fast-food; it's quick, easy and cheap and there is no chewing required, making it easier.

The Jackal uses different ways to lure in audiences, such as using different actors to attract different members of the public - 'there's something for everybody'. It also has a strong backbone from the original film and the book.

However, all the original relies on is people wanting to see the film from reading the book.

This brings us back to our main two points; are remakes worth it, and are they less good, or just different?
Well they are both for different audiences and tick all the boxes of the criteria for each of the audiences.
Also, remakes must be worth it, as they have both raked in alot of money.

In my opinion, I preferred the second film, but have a strong appreciate for the first film, and the only reason for me preferring the remake is due to me being part of the more modern audience and the film being more modern and 'upto modern society standards'.
