Obsession With Memory:Cinematic Remakes and Consumption to Aesthetic Violence

摘要

The aim of this paper is to first understand the reason for the increase in the production of cinematic remakes in the last decades,since the so-called“obsession for memory”in contemporaneity,to later establish a counterpoint between the remakes produced with Hollywood aesthetic standards and their films of origin that do not belong to the American film industry.This counterpoint will be made from the aesthetic form by which the images of Hollywood remakes,especially in the 21st century,are imposed authoritatively on the viewer.This means that we will analyze the exacerbation of aesthetic violence in the practice of this cinematographic genre and discuss the consumption of compulsory images in contemporary society,investigating the consequences that its imposition brings to the construction of our memory.
