How many scenes have Wachowskis stolen to create this crap?

That's true.. I take care of my mental health.. :D

Serenity / Firefly where never a success - but they had charm.
This,,,this,,,this is just ..., bad acting, director, producer, ... who would ever allow something like this to be viewed outside a pre-presentation.
Bad--BAd--BAD--BBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Masters of the Universe was created WAY after The Avengers..

Ok Fanboi

"Do you not know that it is very, very hard to get a movie that doesn't borrow something from someone else? "

That's a leading question, and it's not very, very hard at all.

Of course all this depends on what you mean by "get".

"Get" can mean 'to comprehend', for example. Why would it be hard to comprehend a movie that doesn't 'borrow' from anyone else?

"Get" can also mean 'fetch' or 'acquire' - why would it be very, very hard to get THOSE movies, let's say from a video store, instead of the other kind? All movies are equal in THIS respect.

All in all, the choice to use THAT word (instead of more clear words, like 'create', 'make', 'find', etc.) makes your whole 'false-statement-veiled-as-a-question' pointless and quite nonsensical indeed.

I also don't think there are "finite stories to tell" and that every movie must copy from others, like it's some kind of mandatory thing. This is just poorness of the imagination and the human soul and lack of creativity as well.

In any case, just because some scene is SIMILAR to some other scene, doesn't mean it has been BORROWED from someone.

(Saying 'else' is redundant, by the way, it's already implied by the context)

Besides, it also depends on what you mean by "borrow" - can you really BORROW something insubstancial? I don't believe in 'intellectual property', by the way, that stuff does not exist. Information wants to be free, and all data is basically either privately owned, or published for the Universe to have access to. You can't have it both ways, but they try..

In any case, your contribution to this discussion begins with a misleading question paired with a statement peppered with undefined statements, and presented as some kind of fact. That's bad communicationn.

Movies don't really 'borrow' anything - they can use similar scenes to other movies, intentionally or unintentionally. To 'borrow' something (if we want to use this word in such a ridiculous way) would require conscious decision to do so in any case, and if you are just making your own story, and things just happen to seem similar to other movies (or even 100% identical), you are NOT 'borrowing'. You are just creating a similar scene.

I have to wonder about the lack of imagination (among other things) that make people write such ludicrous statements and 'pseudo-questions'. "Do you know that.." simply makes your question look like a 'factual statement', whether it's actually full of lies and misinformation or not. A really silly gimmick to make someone instantly believe you - it's the kind of leading question that can be compared to "have you already stopped beating up your husband" - if you answer yes, you admit to having beaten your husband, if you answer no, you admit to having beaten up your husband and still doing it.

So, I did just that - wondered about the lack of imagination, and realized that this thing is said in almost every single movie/TV show/presentation at some point that I have seen recently, and in alarming number of these productions anyway: ".. more than you can imagine". A variation of this is: "you can't imagine".

This way, the mainstream media is CONSTANTLY bombarding the masses with the message: "You can't imagine". When you are not aware of this, the message just plants itself in your sub-conscious and every time you hear it, it gets enforced. And soon you really CAN'T imagine..

In any case, JUST IN CASE you meant something along the lines of:

"Making a movie that is 100% original and does not have similar scenes or storyline parts to other movies is sometimes a challenge", I can agree to an extent.

I mean, original stories exist, really good stories exist that have never seen a movie presentation (Hollywtf rather pushes agendas than gives anything original a chance, unless it comes from people who have 'proven to be profitable') - and I have read many of those.

I often imagine how great some story would be as a movie, then I realize exactly how it would be raped and butchered by the holly-machinery, and I lose interest.

The reason for movies and scenes being so similar is not that it's somehow technically mandatory, or that there are finite stories, or that it's impossible to make original things - the real reason is hollyweird, its politically-correct, romance-injected agenda and guidelines that simply do not allow anything good to be made into a movie.

Also, the 'guilds' and other crap, the contracts and the whole legal system also makes it quite difficult.

But I am sure that if you took 100 of the most creative people on this planet, removed their cultural indoctrination and brainwashing, put them to perfect circumstances on a good planet that encourage their filmmaking aspirations, and competent production crews, we would probably in 5 years get to see at least 10 great masterpieces that none of you IMDb commenters thought were possible (because of your excuses of 'finite stories' and 'hard not to borrow').

They would be original, they would be fun to watch, they would be exciting, they would be soul-liberating (instead of terrifying and sad-feeling) and euphoric to experience, and everyone would hail them as better than The Matrix.

The problem of course is, that the audiences would also have to find a way to travel to that good planet .. and that can't be allowed, because this is a prison planet.

Prison planets are only allowed to have prison planet-quality movies..

Good artists create; great artists steal.

You didn't come here to make the choice, you're here to understand why you made it.

Jesus Christ! The scene is reference to "Brazil" and there is Terry Gilliam in it. Forget about Hitchhikers!
