I haven't seen the original (other than the reference to it in Louis de Funès' Le gendarme à New York - 1965 lol), but isn't it like extremely 50s, similar to say America Graffiti?
Can't they make new stories instead of digging up Boomer Bait from years past which probably have problematic stuff in their very conception because of age related issues and likely not being made by comrades? (a shoutout to Italian Neorealist Cinema of the 40s to 1982ish)

I've seen both of them but that was a very long time ago. It was also in the fat-back tv era when movies were squashed and hacked to pieces to fit the tv and tv ad format. I don't remember them very well. But they certainly are both as American as can be: ultimate Americana. I thought America Graffiti was set in the 1960s.
Can’t they make new stories
Apparently they can't. I'm sort of amazed that movies are now just another serial format. For example - I won't be surprised if the Fast and Furious series continues a couple more decades. Or even well-beyond that. Audiences can't get enough of that high speed dreck. Will there be FAF (or son-of FAF fifty years from now?
This terrible shit is becoming intergenerational. If a couple conceived their child the night they saw FAF 1 - their kid would be twenty years old now.
When there are lnly five people left on Earth living in a cave, it will survive in the form of a long bearded man making vroom vroom noises while wildly gesticulating with his hands in front of the others.
Yeah, I know. 1961 for West Side Story, with 1973 for America Graffiti, which is basically George Lucas reminiscing about the early 60s (1962) and 1978 for Grease, which I haven't seen.

1962, which is pre-Beatles, so culturally still very much in the 1950s. I watched it last weekend actually and it still holds up.
The 50s ended November 22, 1963 for some reason :ghwb:
There won't be Fast and Furious 50 years from now because we're headed towards a giant collapse but it'll probably be the last movie humanity makes
Fast and Furious - Endgame

It's from the 50s, unlike American Graffiti or Grease which are 70s homages to the 50s.

Imagine having an homage to the 2000's today.
