"I don't know what it is about Americans, but they are brought up for a heroic tale, where the good must win over the bad, and this version of the film cultivates that," said Tafdrup.
"When I saw the [remake] yesterday, I could see that they would never succeed with a film where the characters are stoned to death, as they do in our film," added Tafdrup.
"These people [in the U.S. version] must fight for their family and defeat the bad guys.., It is a kind of happy ending, and it is so deep in their culture that America must be able to handle it all."
While Tafdrup isn't wrong about American culture, James Watkins--the director and screenwriter of the remake--successfully catered to his target audience.
