[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 261274, member: 8"] Unexpectedly enough, the movie started to linger on in my mind. Although, maybe not really the story itself, but how the film fits into the remake debate (and I'll admit, most of those remake topics are started by yours truly). Many IMDB reviewers seem to loathe it but I don't think it's because they're all Hitchcock purists. Is it because we expect every remake to be super-epic, and it's not enough to simply enjoy it? In other words, if you don't LOVE it, it sucks? I understand that people don't like a movie if there's something in it that truly bothers them, but that's really not the case with REBECCA. They managed to make the dead woman a formidable adversary, and the openly worshipping of this tragic and perfect "heroine" felt interestingly frustating. Mrs. Danvers 2020 is more passionate than sinister and she has some great scenes. There's a nice supporting character performance by Keeley Hawes (Bodyguard/Line Of Duty). [/QUOTE]
