Inspiration or Copy?

[thimuru]

This is the plot summary of LDG
Dr. David Gale, an advocate of eliminating the death penalty, is falsely accused of rape and murder. Once convicted, he ends up on death row in Texas himself, telling his story to a reporter through a series of flashbacks.

Now talk me.. talk I say :P

And I think you have seen all the movies of Innaritu. His trilogy in his own words is a *heart trilogy*. Emotions deep inside your heart. He scans them and makes them as a movie

innocent guy given death penalty for rape and murder...see
this is one good old story and many many films have been taken like this...!

there is a film called "ooru vittu ooru vandhu" where ramarajans father is wrongly given death penalty for a murder case...so what "life of david gale is from ooru vittu ooru vandhu?"

shawshank redemption kadai ennavam pinna..

the story behind that is important..which is very vey original in virumaandi!

[thimuru]

if that is the case the entire team of CM once said it was not a remake of the original malayalam movie Manichittirathaaz...But in reality it is utter copy of it..

So, what we would term the morale of the CM team. .

Good point

nerd...what say?

You can say what ever for Virumandi. But virumandi far better than AE.And also critically acclaimed by many and got award in Asian Film Festival in South Korea.

And if you had been following closely, thimuru a KH fan was trying to ridicule pOkkiri (Which apparently is a legal copy of a telugu film).

Here is the problem. Of course Pokkiri is a legal remake, as were Sathya, Kurudhippunal.
The point is, the point which makes a film an inspired one is when you add some uniqueness, improvisations and quality - by way of settings, characters/characterizations, sub-plots etc. The output dictates everything, not our preconceived notions on inspirations. What about Bob and 9 to 5 (haven't watched) are the closest to being called "copies". Others are inspirations.

[b]You seem to follow two stands - If Kamal is inspired, it is wrong. Unconditional. If Mani or Rahman do the same, you add clauses to it. [/b]

And there are discussions on other copies/inspirations as well

Like?

Doesnt apply just to MR or ARR ... Happens to a lot of biggies with meagre number of fans...

Well, I am sorry, but found so hard to accept such a personality called "singapUrAn" existing in the southern part of Tamilnadu.

It is a very strange character.

Perhaps, that is the speciality!
