I love this movie. It is one of my favorites of all time. The connection between it and the original are subtle but present. I am not going to spoil it by giving those away, but I do recommend watching the 1920 movie first, then this one and think about what it would have been like without the revelation at the end. This movie lacks the revelation, it is up to the viewer to deduce it. I saw a number of reviews of this movie that made the claim it had no connection to the original outside of title (on other sites, here loved it or hated it). Sad, sorry people that did not get it. I think that both this movie and the director should get more acclaim for not just this film but his adult titles as well.
