As chance would have it, whilst 'channel hopping' earlier, i serendipitously happened upon a re-run of the first episode of the 'original'.Ive seen Roots the original and remake both are worth a watch.
With the remake vividly in mind it was fascinating to watch.
My critical, in the true meaning of the word, head is now buzzing with the differences between the two.
Watching both in conjunction is much more than just 'worth a watch' - it is like watching how one narrative can polarise into two competing narratives. Actually if one were to have one's critical faculties completely about oneself, a significantly important other could be added.
I implore anybody who has not seen either to watch one or the other or both - ideally both so that you can likewise compare and contrast - it will give you either an understanding or a deeper understanding, or even possibly a deeper understanding of a deeper understanding, of a terrible crime of a terrible time that has yet to be fully recompensed.
