Unauthorized reproduction is strictly prohibited.
In film and television dramas, plagiarism, tribute, and collage are three different ways of expression.
Although they are all references to other works, plagiarism is even more disgraceful.
The main difference is the core of the work, whether the main structure is different from the original work.
"Journey to the West"
Just like Stephen Chow's movie, it is the leader of collage techniques.
The most classic example is the dialogue between the sunset samurai and the nameless woman at the end of "Journey to the West".
Kung Fu
And the tribute is also a kind of collage, but the tribute should be more serious.
Also take Stephen Chow as an example.
In the passage where Zhou Xingchi goes to the mental hospital to find the fire cloud evil god in "Kung Fu", there is a scene where Zhou Xingchi looks at the wall at the end of the aisle and imagines a large amount of blood gushing out.
This scene is a tribute to The Shining.
Squid Games
The objects of the above two methods of expression are from other works, but because the author has his own ideas and contents, it is not plagiarism.
And plagiarism, except for stupid direct copying.
The most advanced plagiarism should be the kind of idea that involves re-creation.
The recently popular "Squid Game" feels like a very advanced re-creation.
The story structure of Squid Games is that a total of 456 people play six life-fighting games on an isolated island, and the winner will receive 45.6 billion won.
This setting is actually quite common in the same type.
"Battle Royale" and "Gambling Apocalypse" are almost all such settings.
Compare gambling apocalypse.
The people who participate in the squid game have signed a waiver of physical guarantee.
The people who participate in the game of Gambling Apocalypse are people who cannot afford to pay off their debts for the rest of their lives.
Although there are some differences, they are essentially desperate debtors.
In addition, the most basic story and content, "Squid Game" has made certain changes.
For example, the game content of "Squid Games" is a child's game.
Although the plot does not explain this, it should be a contrast setting.
The children's game should be full of fun, but the organizers turn it into a terrifying game of fighting.
In my personal opinion, this is the only point that is quite novel.
And the performance of human nature, on the surface, seems to have a lot of depth, but it is very common in the same type of work.
Without the labels of Netflix, Korean drama, Lee Jeong-jae, Hwang Dong-hyuk, and Kong Liu, "Squid Game" would definitely become an unpopular masterpiece.
Of course, when it comes to plagiarism.
What "Squid Games" has to mention is that the fifth game "Walk the Glass Bridge" is too similar to the "Iron Bridge" of "Gambling Apocalypse".
The setting of the "Walk the Glass Bridge" game first allows the contestants to randomly select the competition number without informing the premise of the competition.
The race number is the order of walking the glass bridge.
The glass bridge is divided into two rows, staggered forward in a staggered manner, only one of which is tempered glass.
Walking the glass bridge does not have any high-IQ skills, it is simply to fight for people's heads.
And the further back you go, the more advantageous it is.
If it weren't for the feud between Jang Deok-so (Heo Sung-tae) and Han Meimei (Kim Shu-pi), and the masked VIP audience, walking the glass bridge would have been more boring.
Gambling Apocalypse
Then, let's look at the "Iron Bridge" of "Gambling Apocalypse".
The "Iron Bridge" is divided into two times, the first time on the low floor where it cannot be killed, and the second time on the roof of a skyscraper that can be smashed to pieces.
This is the first similar place, falling off the iron bridge is going to die.
The second similarity.
The first "Gambling Apocalypse" "walked the iron bridge" for a group of 12 people, who chose who first and who later.
Similarly, there are different psychological preparations for walking first and then going.
The third similarity allows each other to be killed.
However, Gambling Apocalypse has a limit on the number of winners, allowing those behind to push those in front of them off the iron bridge.
Slightly different, the VIP audience of Gambling Apocalypse did not wear masks and was divided into two groups.
The first batch is to sit under the iron bridge and watch the liveliness to increase the psychological pressure on the contestants.
The second batch, which belongs to the VVIP level, sits in the dark room opposite the iron bridge, waiting to make fun of the losers who have walked the steel bridge, and opens the window but is killed under the bridge blown by the wind through the hall.
In addition, if you want to talk about the thrill of the game, "Squid Game" is a slag in front of "Gambling Apocalypse".
Gambling Apocalypse takes the iron bridge for the second time.
The narrower and narrower situation of the iron bridge is more obvious than the first time, the iron bridge is also connected to the deadly high voltage electricity, and the high altitude will face cold air.
It is not easy to walk across the iron bridge, and you will encounter the wind of the hall in the sky.
These settings are not comparable to the younger games of Squid Games.
