Just, just a coincidence is all…

There's a cool short series on Youtube by Kirby Ferguson called "Everything Is A Remix" that covers this topic in depth.

Super Troopers were clearly doing a reference there

Wow! It's almost like directors watch and study other directors... Imagine that: staying in the loop of their chosen field? What a scandal

It's about “formula”. Something worked once, let's try it a few more times. That's why when a band has a hit song, they frequently use that same formula on repeat to make a 2nd hit song, etc. The movies are filmed in repeat to ensure success. Authors write the same formulaic of books after the 1st one hits. It's not rocket science or conspiracy.

And people complain about ai lol, we’ve been copying for decades 😂

Hellywood is not nearly as creative as they like (you) to think they are. What they are best at is convincing others that they are the best.

Yes, copy cat and also homages mixed in...it's more or less obvious. Pop culture is like a mountain glacier - they pick up, mix and carry stuff as they grind along.

Honestly, a lot of these shots arent that original. I could absolutely see some director dreaming it up and thinking how great it is. I mean really--you think the writer dreampt uo that steers and queers line? Its old Its like one country claiming to have invented the sword.

"good artists copy, great artists steal"

Yeah, these are just mostly just coincidences... in some instances, such as with the schnasberries, they are making direct reference to the other film

Guy who doesn’t understand homage

little nods to the past

Just about everything is recycled. The Black Sheep scene with the bat in the cabin is from The Great Outdoors

@razorback11111 In the end we’re all plagiarists.

Whenever it's a famous scene, it's quite often a tribute. Do you need them to break the 4th wall like a Deadpool comic/movie to make it more obvious?

Is this supposed to be some kind of revelation

A bunch of unoriginal repeating bastards

Notice anything?

It's called an homeage🙄

“Artists” 🙄

Nothing new under the sun….

rap came from R&B which came from rock which came from blues which came from folk art itself is always a copy

Spells.

Like in Fasion - all new is forgotten old.

More proof that Jews steal everything from gentiles.

It's spelled cohencidence.

Prospective Programming... Prediction isn't reliable enough.

Pastiche

No. The devil rules rn and he is incapable of new ideas. Just as with AI, no new thinking. Only we, when awaken, can be creative in our thinking. Think of defeating all evil. Eradicating evil from existence. Think of peace, love, abundance for all people of goodwill. And it will happen.

Nothing new under the sun. We have all been here and done this before..

They say there's only 6 original stories in Hollywood
