I think it was simply made to reach a bigger audience not so much because of a prejudice against foreign language films but because people are naturally more likely to see films that are widely shown in their country. It only seems like an American trait because of how massive our entertainment industry is. Generally I actually agree with your sentiment here, but Let Me In and Funny Games are two examples where both the original and remake are masterpieces. Have you seen it?

If it's so similar, doesn't that just defeat the purpose of it even existing? Except of course for said purpose of overcoming weird American attitudes about other countries.

Lol I'm sure you would've taken kindly to it if they made a bunch of changes, right?
