The most famous plagiarism in film history: In 1964, after the release of the pioneering work of the Italian-style Western, "Red Dead Redemption", Kurosawa, known as the "Emperor of Japanese Cinema", sued the court, accusing director Leonne of ruthlessly copying his film "Heart Stick", which was released three years ago.
To what extent is it plagiarized? That being said, the biggest modification was to replace samurai with cowboys and to change Japanese towns to western towns.
But what is extremely dramatic is that the director Leonne himself is a fan of Akira Kurosawa, the god, and seeing that he was sued by his idol, their side finally chose to settle out of court, handing over 15% of the film's box office profits, and adding Akira Kurosawa's name to the screenwriting column.
Afterwards, Akira Kurosawa revealed that the money he made from this film has surpassed "Heart Stick", and said that Leonne shot well and was worth watching.
After many years, the young director Leone of that year has also been enshrined, and one of his fans is inspired by idols, frantically copying the bridges, shots, lighting and even soundtracks of various classic old films, and this person is Quentin Tarantino.
In this regard, Quentin has always been generous in admitting, he once said in an interview: In fact, I copy points here and there in each play, and then mix them together, if you don't like it, you can't watch it. In addition, my film is plagiarism, not a tribute at all.
And this also confirms the old saying, a large copy of the ancient article, copied back and forth has improved.
