Old May 28th, 2006, 07:34 AM        Movie comparisons that blow your mind
Movies that are similar to other movies (to the point that one is almost-definitely directly inspired from the other). You didn't even make the connection until someone pointed it out to you.

I just caught a dreadful abortion of an anime called Samurai 7. It's based on Sevent Samurai, except all the characters are different and there's a ton of robots. Yeah...

So I looked it up to see what the fuck, and in the discussions (where way too many people like this anime shit) a revelation brought on by a random post.


A Bug's Life = Seven Samurai.

Now post yours!

i saw Days Of Thunder on TV just now, and the plotline is used on so many other movies, but I can't remember a single one right now.

And the dead father's spirit visits the son, yes.

Romeo and Juliet = West Side Story

But that one's a little more obvious.

Haha, the Bug's Life one is gold.

Only thing I can think of is Throne of Blood and Macbeth. But that dawned on me as I was watching it, so it wasn't one of those "oh shit" hindsight things. And it's pretty much a direct adaptation, so I don't know if it counts.

Road Trip = The Odyssey

This is not an endorsement of Road Trip.

The Lord of the Rings is Tolkien one-uping Macbeth (ie. the Witch King's death).

In another comparison of Shakespeare to Disney, Pocahontas is also strikingly similar to Romeo and Juliet.

That one is more of a remake though (I think a fairly blatant one, too), so it doesn't count.

Lion King wasn't touted as being a remake of Hamlet. Magnificent Seven was always made clear to a remake (or at least heavily inspired from) Seven Samurai.
