| Post subject: | film similarities.... |
last night at work i was trying to kill time by thinking of american movies made in the last decade or so that seem to be loosely rip-offs of other films from ages back, and here is what i came up with: 1. Last Man Standing has a story that runs pretty much like Yojimbo 2. Kill Bill takes a lot from Lady Snowblood. basic plot, camera work, structure, you name it.... 3. Tarantino's production company or whatever, A Band Apart, had to have come from the original language title of Band Of Outsiders: Bande A Part. 4. Every David Lynch movie has so much stuff that can be found in the 2 Maya Deren films Meshes Of The Afternoon (mostly i see Lost Highway in this) & At Land (tons of elements found in Mulholland Drive). and then i got bored with the whole thing. anyone care to add to the list? or, tell me i'm wrong with these....... |

Fistfull of Dollars was shot for shot closer to Yojimbo.Though all three were loose adaptations of Dashiell Hammett's Red Harvest |

I think Life Aquatic was based on this documentary from the 70's called Blue water. |

THE ROAD TO PERDITION is based on a graphic novel that was, in turn, based on the manga/films LONE WOLF & CUB. |

Was watching the 1967 french film 'Le Samourai' this weekend and couldn't help but notice how much of the visual style seemed to have possibly been borrowed by David Lynch. The stark interiors, patterned rugs, curtains, etc. I was having all kinds of 'deja vu' moments... |

Le Samouri is a great flick. Not as current but Taxi Driver got a lot from Ford's The Searchers. |
