Usually the difference is in the details - an unconscious influence will deliver a story that has similar themes, or comparable conflict/character dynamics in broad strokes. But when the details begin to line up - community still living like it was the past, simply on the other side of a natural landscape-made divide, in the modern world, specifically kept this way to keep the younger generations from gaining modern values...now you're no longer in the "nothing is original" territory (which is just hyperbole anyway, ultimately). Now you're approaching Shia LeBeouf territory.Dave B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05565133923004044115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345163190462091457.post-72863377876950751492013-12-19T21:07:40.407-08:002013-12-19T21:07:40.407-08:00Nothing is original anymore.

The point is, sometimes, it's so easy to assume someone ripped something off. Everyone has the rights to build on someone else's idea and make it an original, a new specie - may look the same but completely different.

The twist is that it was purposefully built that way. We spend the whole movie thinking we're in the mid or perhaps late 19th Century only to discover the modern world ourselves, so we think: oh, they've been so thoroughly cut off... But then a twist on that: they cut themselves off. Their children have been raised ignorant of the world outside their walls.
