Looper proved that you could successfully harvest the story/character beats, and cool moments from other films and shows without creating any of your own.
It's a bad sign when all of the "original" films in hollywood are just mediocre remakes of other sci-fi and anime. Same goes for Inception.
- jamestyrrell 14y agoYeh, Looper was quite terrible.
- riffraff 14y agowould you be so kind to as to point out where the inception idea in inception came from? I don't think I recall it from earlier things, and I'd be happy to know about them. Unless your meant "mise en abyme is a trope", which, well of course it is.

- riffraff 14y agoI seem to have been misunderstood: I mean the topic of planting an idea so that it grows by itself. As far as I remember paprika only just deal with the entering someone's dreams, which is a way more broad, and thus common, topic. But I have only seen the animation, maybe it was in the book, or I remember incorrectly?
- psbp 14y agoDid you see the entire movie? The whole premise is that a Japanese businessman is implanting a virus like visual into everyone's heads..
- riffraff 14y agothe whole premise to me is that the man uses a dream that spreads like a virus _to make people go mad_ which is not quite the same as implanting a single idea. It's the same difference as having a virus that changes behaviour (e.g. switch which hand people use best) and the black plague: while technically they may be the same thing I wouldn't equate them. I guess this highlights how things are susceptible to interpretation, thanks for taking time to answer.
