I wish there were more of it. I much prefer personal elaboration, no matter the eloquence, to sarcastic sniping or sophomoric witticisms. There's some pretty smart jousting occasionally. That's fun.As for Jaws or Meatballs having elements in opposition. I think the answer is yes. Any good story, by definition, will. The descriptions and the devices used - the moral context - will vary, of course. How that variance is characterized determines the art of it.
God vs evil. That's what life and stories of life are all about. It can be handled as comic or dramatic in any art form.
As for derivation, I think you missed my point. I asked about the validity for an expectation of bringing something qualitatively new to the remake. Any critical comments are insufficient, otherwise.
I solicited your further remarks sincerely. I thought you opened up a lot of " 'splainin" room. LOL. My reasons for participating here are to learn, to share, to be sociably involved, to be entertained. Yours weren't apparent; that's why I asked.Your term paper? A+, for effort! ;-)
