- usefulcat 4y agoI've seen that movie. I don't know about 'hugely', but I definitely would agree it's highly likely that at least one of Spielberg or Lucas had seen it. Overall it was a very mediocre movie though.
- cjohnson318 4y agoIf you boil a performance down to a script, and then you boil it down further into some archetypes, tropes, and a timeline, then not much is original, but you're also boiling away everything that makes a film unique. Just because things like sound design, actor charisma, and historical context are hard to measure doesn't mean they don't all add up.
