I have seen for example Quentin Tarrantino's feet held to the fire for basically remixing other ppls **** puff daddy style, the most blatant example to me is Reservoir dogs. One might argue its his style is to tip his cap to old films, but I mean just ask Ennio Morricone...
Reservior dogs, for the record, is a remix of "City on Fire" -- all u need to know is the basic plot of this and you'll know its a rip... Then he took elements from noir stuff like Kubrick's The Killing, and also there's clearly a correlation with the dialogue and the way the dialogue carries on in "Kansas City Confidential", thats where he ripped the whole idea of Mr Pink, Mr. Blue, Mr. Orange type of thing, In Kansas City confidential there's a very similar 'masking' process between the criminals.
You can't convince me that in The Hateful Eight, that the poisioning scene, isn't pretty much a direct rip from Japanese film Battle Royale from 2001. Which Tarrantino once said is his favorite movie made post-2000... If u put those scenes side by side, not saying their symmetrical or anything but u will see they unfold in nearly an identical fashion...
PPL get really defensive about Tarrantino but they usually havent seen a single thing of what I just mentioned, and therefore have no legs to stand on in a counter-argument...
Recently I read the entire catalogue of Carlos Castaneda, who's books were said to inspire George Lucas, and to me It's clearly like a puff daddy style remix... specifically obi-wan and luke's relationship is a direct rip from the main relationship in the books... the whole idea of the force seems to be derrived from this... and then further you have yoda, it's like the same exact tone of dialogue except.... remixed...
Then ofc the other part of the starwars story rip comes from old Japanese Films, Akira Kurosawa Rashomon, Yojimbo, The Seven Samurai type stuff...
A wise man once said "The secret to creativity is hiding your sources"... I would highly reccomend the Castenada books, the dialogue that carries on between luke and yoda/obi-wan is just watered down in comparison...
