Hidden Blind Remake. The cases of Shane and Drive
Abstract
The restatement of the image and/or film story is as old as cinema itself. More complicated results grasp the remake limits, and its categorization, particularly in cases where director’s aspirations go through the evening recovery story, more than recognition for their version of a correlative or updated one. This article coined the definition of “blind remake”, adding itself to the taxonomies already set out and established, and applying it through a meticulous comparison between two films –Shane and Drive– very separated in time and place, but as identical in message background to qualify it as an isolated category subject to be studied in further researches, which this is only the first one.
