and one more thing, are you trying to say that, Trainspotting was lifted from Devdas… apparently Dev.D is a remake of Devdas….

The Departed 2006 (directed by the great Martin Scorsese) is lifted from Hong Kong film series The Infernal Affairs 2002- it’s a shame that the hollywood people only bought the copyrights for the first, while the lifted the three parts of the series. And one more thing my friend, the only difference between the two films is that the english version has Jack Nicholson & boston, everything else is directly lifted from the original, the dialogues, scene set-up, camera work, in some scenes even the actor’s impression.

The Matrix 1999, was directly lifted from Japanese animation films – Ghost in the shell 1995 & Akira 1988. And the most famous fighting style in the matrix was copied from Chinese film called Hard Boiled 1992, even the amazing theory of the Matrix was lifted from an episode(The Deadly Assassins) of a British Tv series, Dr. Who.

There are many other countless examples. Most of Hollywood horrors are copies of Japanese, Chinese, Thai, & Korean originals. If the originals are well known internationally then they officially buy their copyrights.

Even most of their romantic comedies are copies of French, German, Italian and Spanish originals. Did you know that the famous 50 first Dates 2004 (starring Adam Sandler) is ripped from a chinese film, (it’s your lucky day, I can’t remember the name of that film) the only difference was in the original the boy has the problem.

But at the same time, I will like to add that, some of the european and asian films are also inspired by the Hollywood films. See the thing I want to point out to you is that, Plagiarism is everywhere. The only good reasons for Hollywood’s global success are: English is worlds common language, and the have the best deals with cinema chains around the world. Bollywood needs to improve their network, out of India, to present itself to non-Indians. Slum dog Millionaire, was a big success, because it was
well presented to international market, thanks to Danny Boyle’s brand name.

And one last thing, there have been many small goods films recently, such as Gulaal 2009, Dev D 2009, Khosala Ka Ghosala 2006. There are good films and shit films everywhere, and the good ones will always get appreciated, no matter where the inspiration came from.

Do let me know what’s your opinion about my comment.
