I didn't say that Hollywood invented the remake or anything of the kind. I said it was a Hollywood remake in that Hollywood tends to have a certain reputation for poorly thought out retellings. Everyone knows what you mean when you say it's a Hollywood style remake. It's a derogatory statement in most cases.
I didn't know that's what you meant. And if it is seen as derogatory, that's erroneous and ignorant, because there are plenty of great remakes in Hollywood history. The Wizard of Oz was remade something like half a dozen times before the Judy Garland version was made. Hitchcock's remake of The Man Who Knew Too Much was far superior to his original version. That post I linked to before talks about how the remake of Gaslight was much better than the original film made just four years earlier (contrary to myth, remakes were much more frequent in Hollywood's past than its present).
So the notion that "Hollywood remake" equals "bad remake" is misinformed and unfair, and should not be perpetuated. A "reputation" is worthless when it's a lie or an ignorant stereotype. Anyone who really pays attention to Hollywood should know that remakes can be great.
