Worst remake of a classic "El Gran Hotel"
21 May 2016
Warning: Spoilers
This remake was to be a period piece where two people from different classes "Julio" and "Isabel" fall in love. The two actors who portrayed these roles tried to adhere to the original roles and did a good job. On the other hand, the alterations done to adhere to today's audience lacked taste, originality and respect to not only the Latin audience but the Mexican people(whom should be very upset as to the way the writers not only perceive them but want them to perceive themselves). Burdel,prostitutes,child abuse,and the wealthy affluent characters were portrayed without class, hysterical & strifeful. For example"Sofia was a murderer in the original but at all times a lady with good manners knowing her class position; yet in this remake,she is a schizophrenic without control. Then you have Ayala,who was a gentlemen and at his age attractive(LOL) but in the remake an old detective without any manners and any physical attraction whatsoever & ends up with a young high society lady doctor, really??? in this period, impossible to believe unless he was rich. What was the message behind this remake, all the lower class so-called ignorants inherit & get everything & are elated while the rich lose everything.Hmmm! Something to think about.The poor were the good guys and the rich were the wicked.Even the burdel got bigger & successful. LOL and they all lived happily ever after.LOL LOL LOL
