Crowe pushes more ideas onto the plate than the original, which distracts from the film.
“Crow's putting a lot more on the plate, right?”

The Spanish film has the same beats, and the protagonist's face looks even worse in it.
“But it's like the movie's beats are exactly the same down to the, you know, crucial moment of him like lying in the gut.”

The ending follows the original beat for beat, down to the jump and the 'open your eyes' last line.
“Yeah, again, it's how Abri Lo Sojos works to a T down to him jumping and open your eyes, like being on last lines.”

The Spanish original keeps the ending ambiguous, while this version spells out what the dream state is.
“And Abri Lo Sojos does not have this problem so much, is that I think the ending is supposed to be ambiguous”
