Started ripping off other movies with this film, but no one seems to know or care?
Spielberg has been running on empty for at least a decade and a half, to such an extent that all he's been doing is ripping off visuals and sequences from other movies.
For example, almost all of Minority Report ripped of something, but I guess because he's an award winning director, everyone was afraid to say something. I counted at least 7 direct ripoffs, enough to make Quentin Tarantino blush. These are:
1. Wrongly accused fugitive on the run, discovers his colleague set him up and exposes him at classy function? LOL, that was the ending of The Fugitive movie.
2. John hopping back and forth down the speedway from car to car was in Attack of the Clones, when Anakin is chasing an assassin who tried to kill Padme.
3. The scene of John getting trapped inside the car assembly mechanism and trying to get out was from Attack of the Clones, when Padme gets trapped inside a robot factory.
4. The scene where he's getting chased by agents in the car factory looked like any scene in Men in Black.
5. Eyeball scene was clearly a direct rip of A Clockwork Orange.
6. Agatha screaming "RUN". I know it's pushing it, but it reminded me a lot of Forrest Gump when Jenny screams "Run, Forrest, Run."
7. The scenes of characters crashing through people's apartment buildings for comic effect was from Animal House.
8. There were many scenes reminiscent of Gilliam's Brazil, but it's been such a long time since I've seen that movie that I have to rewatch to recall what it was that he was ripping off.
I don't have enough else to go one, but I wouldn't be surprised if the more visually arresting scenes in this movie (especially the part in the mall with the umbrellas) wasn't ripped off from somewhere.
