No, I haven't seen the previous version and in fact, I wouldn't even see this one if I wasn't forced into watching it in class. I don't usually watch movies like this. But I must admit it's beautiful. Maybe it's inferior to the previous versions or not really true to the real story, but I don't know. What I know it's a wonderful movie with a beautiful message and is a great source of inspiration. I give it 10/10, just for it's beauty. I leave the critiquing of it's flaws to the others.
