Also, funny how in the movie Lost In Translation featuring Scarlett Johansson there is the classic Ghost In The Shell "window looking at the city" scene, and then she went to make a GITS movie
Do you believe we’d be able to make a fan edit to make the film better or is if impossible? (My thought process is that it focused less on the ideas, more on copy-pasting the anime… but live action, and dumbing it down in the process)
@@chimedemon dont think so, i never got the need for live action remakes of things that already exist. Dont let me stop you tho
My early 20's were changed a lot by Ghost in The Shell, Evangelion, and oddly enough, 2001, a Space Oddysey.
Stanley Kubrick would have proudly admitted his inspirations and gave them credit, even in the 1960's. These directors behavior is disgusting and shameful, and this is coming from an American. Paprika and Perfect Blue are amazing films. I have to give some credit to the Wachowzki twins for crediting GITS.. but did any of you hear about that when The Matrix was out? I sure didn't. American / European directors are showing major disrespect to Japanese history, and it's going to end up biting them in the butt one day when everyone realizes how racist and thievish it is.
It’s so sad that Satoshi Kon is no longer with us. RIP
for both Requiem and Black Swan, with that much in common, a mention during the opening credits would be the minimum I'd think, like "Inspired by Satoshi Kon's 'Perfect Blue'" just smack in the middle of the credits, early and huge so it can't be missed like a director interview can.
Well requiem didn't have that much in common tbf, it was just that one scene in the bathtub
With Requiem for a Dream, Aronofsky did buy the Americam filming rights to Perfect Blue specifically to film that bathtub scene, which shows that he was acknowledging the inspiration and sought out legal permission to adapt it into his own story. Personally, I have more of an issue with Black Swan, since he refuses to admit that it was heavily influenced by Perfect Blue, despite the obvious and numerous comparisons that you made.
See I read that too but I also found counter evidence that says it’s a myth that he tried to buy it but that it wasn’t granted so he never owned the rights to perfect blue and that’s ridiculous black swan is most definitely influenced by perfect blue that’s just a lie for him to say otherwise
@@InternetPitstop Oh well that’s interesting. I guess the whole situation is unclear. Either way I think he owes a bit more to Satoshi Kon. Oh! And on the topic of Inception and Paprika, I remember seeing a discussion somewhere between Nolan and another director in which he claimed that he only watched Paprika for the first time some time after making Inception, and was surprised to see how similar they were. I think it was his belief that they must both have been inspired by even earlier works. Take that as you will lmao.
Anyway, love this video and your whole channel!
@@vesey986 he definitely does! And really ? Well idk I really don’t think I believe that those 3 scenes are way too similar the elevator one is especially crazy but thank you for the love and support !
@@InternetPitstop well, Aronofsky clearly knew about Perfect Blue when he made Requiem for a dream to the point that he made an homage to the movie when he made the scene, so I think it makes sense that he would implicitly write a movie with a similar plot without realising it. It's incredibly common for writers and directors
I feel like you were too harsh on him on the video
@@compa6251 that’s fair, I do see what you mean and he definitely doesn’t seem malicious in intent I was just trying to also see from Kons point of view as the smaller creator at the time is all
Like with these directors and anime, George Lucas was heavily inspired and took a lot of inspiration from Akira Kurosawa’s filmography and owes a lot of his success to him. But Kurosawa fell on harder times and couldn’t finance his film in his later years, he and Spielberg swooped in to help him out. It’s the mutual respect is what’s needed when stealing influences.
Starwars was influenced by Valerian
Now that's admirable and respectable......I can DIG IT!
Omg, the whole Black Swan thing shocked me. I was convinced Aronofsky had paid for Perfect Blue but had chosen not to recreate the story as such. I've used Perfect Blue in my classes for years, most often together with Black Swan, but I'd always said he had the rights... What a shame.
You shouldn't make statements you know are unfounded & unchecked
@@shonenjumpmagneto 😢
@@sebastianlargsob2500 we live & learn :)
Peefect conversation doesn't exis..@@shonenjumpmagneto
While there’s clearly a power imbalance with a director who has plenty of money and acclaim, I don’t think an artist should ever 1/1 steal framing, or a shot, etc. Lifting influence and “stealing” from art works when you make it yours, adapting something like the neck jack stuff from Ghost in the Shell into the Matrix. It’s not ripping scenes, just taking concepts, and aesthetics.
Always refreshing to pass by this little pitstop in the corner of the internet. I love your videos!
Yo bro ! Thank you omg, I didn’t even know that super thanks we’re a thing till now you’re the first lol again thanks a bunch my guy it means a lot especially with a nice comment like this when I made the channel all I wanted was to create that comforting feeling that adult swim gave me of a little corner of the internet in my case tho so comments like this always make me feel I’m doing something right, appreciate it a bunch !
I knew it! I called out to my friends that the God armors In clash of the Titan’s looked oddly familiar to those in Saint Seiya.
Idk how it is in France. But I know in Latin America it’s surprisingly popular and idk why. I wonder if it’s the same for francophone countries.
@@Eirik_Bloodaxe to my knowledge, in Europe, Spain and France have a huge fan base.
I think ultimately it comes down to how much a tribute in one film retroactively causes people who's seen it seek out the source of influence. The Matrix is the best example as because the Wachowski's never hid their influence and they all but promoted their love of anime with the matrix and animatrix, people discovered stuff like Ghost in the Shell from seeing it.
Aronofsky may or may not say he was a Satoshi kon fan but there is almost no proof in the connection until people found it years later and so no one sought out Kon's work through Aronofsky's. My same issue with Nolan but worse because the guy constantly gets called out for taking influence and he never admits it and it makes it hard to enjoy his filmmaking when he acts like he's so wholly original.
True
All killer no filler. This channel doesn't miss! I adore these videos
Thank you for always supporting me bro !
@@InternetPitstop absolutely! I always drop what I'm doing when I see one of your uploads!
Just discovered your channel through your "The Beauty of the 90s Anime Aesthetic" video and I have to say, these are some of the best articulated takes on anime I've seen.
Teenagers who are played by twenty year olds, congratulations you’ve simplified Hollywood to its very basics
We all know the big letter jacket, yoked and extra tall jock that is supposed to be in high school
To build a better boy an in general Disney channel movies is very funny because of this
I think, lifting it shot for shot is always a bit gauche, cause in this case you don't actually do work. It feels similar to covers in music.
Let's say you make a cover on an album, you usually have to fork over some money for the rights. If we view the movie as an "album", then that scene is the "cover".
Ultimately, it's a pretty shady area and it sucks that the greatest artists are often tossed to the side like this. I just hope Kon was happy, in the end.
That’s a really good point I feel at that point of taking a scene sone money of the film should go to the person who you took from
If I ever made a movie (if I did then I'd love it to be animated), then the only thing which I could possibly rip off consciously would be if...
... I wanted to add the Akira Drift as a joke; y'know, doing stuff like keeping the cameral angle the same is a humouristic tradition here
Though it would really be boring and unsatisfying to do anything else like this
I hope millennium actress portrayed his mindset about life and his own successes.
I can see the argument that different scenes can be identical in execution but take completely different meanings in different films/contexts.
I would agree that the original creators should be directly compensated in a situation where you copy a scene like this though.
15:33 Although there are a lot of similarities Black Swan is definitely a different movie than Perfect Blue. It’s much more than a lazy reskin and has enough distance from perfect blue to make it more than an imitation. This is how creative work exists, through absorption reimagining and adaptation.
Have you watched Kajij ultimate survivor and squid game. Squid game gets some HEAVY inspiration from Kajij (Director admits it himself tho):
1) Poor guy enters a (dangerous) gambling game to win a lot of money.
2) rich people enjoy watching the poor contestants and their suffering
3)there is a cross the bridge death game
4) the person funding the games is a rich old sadistic man
5) the main character plays a game against this old man at the end of season one
those are quite a lot of similarities if I say so myself hahaha
I've seen both! love both will most likely be in a future "anime influence on tv shows" video
Finally someone saying it
Sure that is influence but that is also some really broad traits that seperately exist in a ton of different media and there is a ton of room for exploration.
You can argue the Hunger Games and most teen dystopian fiction have something like this even. Poor people enter a dangerous game or challenge to get resources for their people, rich people sponsor and spectate said games, often times the people at the top of the hierarchy are old people who initially set up the system for their own benefit.
Again I am not saying that Squid game did not take inspiration from Kaijjij, just that there is a lot of different ways to tell a story with those premises.
I’m a recent subscriber but love your work bro. Comedy, production value, analysis all on point. This channel will have 6 figure subs one day I’m sure.
Thank you bro ! And always cool to meet a new sub and man I hope you’re right I’m tryna quit my full time job lol
@@InternetPitstop Here to support you my man! A Patreon is something definitely worth looking into.
@@JSJ07 it’ll probably be coming in the future !
@@InternetPitstop and I'm cumming right now.
And you can’t forget that the movie The Fountain is damn near an adaptation of Satoshi’s Millennium Actress! I actually didn’t know this fact, but unintentionally watched both of those movies pretty close together and was blown away before going down the Hollywood stealing from Satoshi rabbit hole
Wow, you legit informed me a lot because I see these comparisons on social media, but I'm shocked that some filmmakers actually steal and not make the idea their own; that's wild.
I would definitely call the shot lifted from Perfect Blue plagiarism. And there is a similar-looking down bathtub shot of Misato used in episode 2 of Evangelion as well.
Might not be anime, but "All You Need is Kill" and "Old Boy" were adapted from manga into succesfull movies. Also the "inspired" ones are better than the actual adaptations like, Dragon Ball, Death Note and Ghost in the Shell.
About ripping off scenes... well Tarantino made a career with cleverly reusing them and certain imagery. In the case of the Satoshi Kon ones with Nolan and Aronofsky is that it can serve as a sort of advertising, because i started to watch his movies after i found out that certain scenes were used in those high level hollywood productions.
loved Old Boy 2003 but god dam did you see that spike lee 2013 version one lol that was terrible lol and that's a fair point
@@InternetPitstop i've seen it once years ago, but don't rememeber a thing about it, probably for the better.
at what point does advertising just become theft?
@@ZeranZeran No idea, we are talking about art so its complicated.
@@majesticgods5702 respect the honest answer
Been binging your videos for a while. Keep it coming dude. This is gold mine!
I never drew the connection with Requiem and Perfect Blue but damn do they just put that feeling of pure despair and horror at humanity in you. You couldn’t pay me to watch either ever again lol
Love your videos my friend! They're refreshingly well edited and concise. Anime videos on CZcams recently are either super hyper smash cuts and effects, or 2+ hour long video essays. A concise and interesting format is what the platform needs, please keep it up!
I know Akira influenced so many works but I didn’t know about the t2 inspo! Great vid like always !!
I actually really like this video. This is a really cool topic and I've been inspired to dig for myself. I was familiar with Satoshi Kon's work but never did I know he had so much influence despite struggling in his own personal life. Thank you for making this.
dude i just stumbled on this account a few weeks ago and you have great quality and hilarious videos and it bums me out that you don’t have over 100,000 subscribers, keep it up and you’ll get there
Hey but until then I appreciate comments like this they keep me going till I do get there ! Much love man!
Bro, I love your videos! Binged 80%~ of your vids now, and there hasn't been a single one that wasn't extremely entertaining & weirdly informative!!! Great work man :D
Dude you're on fire comin out with these banger videos
I keep seeing vids of yours on the related while watching your vids and being like OH thats my jam I'm clicking that next...
Been a long time i have watched one of your videos but of course it just as I remembered
Golden quality videos and great content
Amazing channel! Satoshi Kon is my favorite director, love his job. Greetings from Brazil!
Filmmakers who are inspired by anime but won't acknowledge it are like artists releasing music without clearing the copyrighted samples first. They should have to treat the visual influences just like music, and pay the original creators a fee and sales % for sampling their IP.
Love this idea!
This channel is great. Just randomly stumbled upon this video and now I'm gonna watch everything lmao
I love that adult swim outro bump lol
I love all your videos but this one’s great. So interesting yet never crossed my mind
Satoshi Kon is one of my biggest inspirations with my student films, so hearing how he felt about the homages in other movies really change how I feel about referencing anime in what I make (though none of my stuff will ever be more famous than Gurren Lagann and Lupin III)
This was a lot deeper than expected. Great work 👏🏽
Loved the smoking cobra looks like a chill dude you can have meaningful conversations with
Ngl I've been binging your channel and you're lowkey one of my favorite youtubers already
I always feel more enlightened after watching your videos, like a tedtalk haha.
your editing reminds me a lot of frugal aesthetic and it feels so good with your personality, looking forward to more of your videos
Love frugal ! I think he was also inspired by NakeyJakey
Just recently found this channel but already one of my favourites:)
Welcome to the corner of the internet !
Wonderful, like what you do, man.
dope to come accross this and see you with a goal of getting to 10k subs and here you are a year later with over 200k. beautiful to see
Really underappreciated channel
Love ur videos man🔥🔥🔥. And ur bumps. They're rlly cool
I love your analyses bro, good stuff
these videos are awesome this is my second one. im very excited to have discovered you, this means the algorithm has picked you up and ur in the big leagues now boss. flyin first classsss.
really enjoyed this! thanks!
Dude I love your style! It’s like memes, mixed w Adult swim, mixed with essays, and gotta say I been binging all your vids and I really feel you’re gonna blow up! Thanks for the entertainment. ☺️☺️☺️🥰
U r awesome man.. I'm addicted to your content
Wow! This is some really cool stuff to know. I had no idea about all those connections to japanese anime. You must have done a lot of research, thanks.
Thank you so much for this video
Love this channel!!!
Love your vibe (including the transparent swag 🤣)
I love this man and his content cuz it gives me the vibe of Nakey Jakey if he was a bit younger, uploaded more often, and was an anime nerd.
Thanks for making me watch, and love Ghost in the shell after sleeping on it for so long. Also, you maybe my newest favourite channel because it takes a lot of balls for a man to say "fuck it, I'll make my own adult swim" (after watching the PTV episode of family guy, Id imagine)
Ghost In The Shell and Evangelion changed my life forever. Changed the way I view technology, and people. That is a powerful medium.
This is going to sound really corny, but I swear it's true. Watching End Of Evangelion gave me strong reminders of what I saw on my first LSD trip years earlier.. and that being, a globe connected by spiritual energy. Beautiful.
Also, that director should be ashamed of himself for not giving credit to the creator of Perfect Blue and Paprika.
I never watched Black Swan, or Inception, but I've watched both of those anime films, and even when I saw the trailers, I remember thinking "How cool! They're going to pay homage in an American film!" - No. He deserves to be shamed for that, hard. I have a feeling in time, it will be seen as a form of racism.
ty for cobra cigar
thats a pretty dope meme. Can I save it?
@@ZeranZeran perfect blue director did! Not inception tho also of course cobra cigar is yours!
Really great video dude! You're critically underrated, instantly subscribed, keep it up!!
damn same day I finish binging all of Satoshi Kon's stuff? Aight thanks
I gotcha !
The mid bump sold me on subbing lol
I watched one video and now I’m completely hooked to your channel.
Welcome to the corner of the internet !
gonna watch that shit tomorrow lesgo
Love your style.
Please make more.
Peace from France
Omg the outro is very [ adult swim ] & I'm entirely here for it.
This is a very fun channel to watch
Thats like peter jackson saying he wasnt influenced at all by the animated lotr movie until he was finally pressed enough and came clean and admited to even recreating certain shots from the og movie
You influence.... me to start making new *and better, CZcams videos again, after 1-2 years. ty mate
Seeing that you're at 140k currently and in this video you mentioned 10k it's so cool to see your growth in the past 8 months. Congratulations 🎊
Love your style you deserve more views
Your channel is amazing man. Keep up the great work and honestly I think you're bound to blow up
Thanks bro!
thanks for this master piece video man !!
Thank you thank you
I loved this!!! I also wanted to discuss: I'm pretty sure Tokyo Godfathers is a retelling of John Ford's Three Godfathers from 1948 starring John Wayne. I understand the perspective: I wouldn't want someone imitating my work without credit, or remaking it and getting all the credit (I would lose my mind); I just found it fascinating that Kon felt this way when he was inspired by Three Godfathers to make his own film. Just a thought i had while watching this. I do understand him, though--if I went to the theater to see a new movie and it was basically a mask of something I had made--and with no credit--I would be livid!
Great video! I only found your channel today and I am HOOKED
Wait! But in Satoshi kon's case, he did say that Tokyo god fathers movie is influenced by three Godfathers. Japanese creators actually give credits to the original if there is any influence behind their works .
my man I am just going throigh your videos and yeah I mean I think they are great and also yeah I should go to sleep but just the fact that you liked a comment I just made on another of your vids just made my day. It's just crazy how beautiful of a community you are building, love you
Banger video as always
I didn't know about half these movies, thanks for the informative video! I agree with your last point, I don't find it fair either to just replicate a scene frame for frame, especially considering the power imbalance there is and the likeliness that you'll get away with it anyway since the original content isn't well known in the west. They should at least do the same as done in the music industry, and give a writing credit and royalties to the original director.
I love the idea of royalties or like in music paying for a sample for things like this
This guy earned my respect as top fav youtuber right now with the Nas bar 15:36
Thanks man!
Hey man, just stumbled across your channel today from the Berserk OST video and wanted to say keep it up, love your stuff! If the algorithm brought me here I'm sure more are soon to come.
Speaking on influences, you remind me so much of NakeyJakey in the best way. I'm sure I'm not the first person to say that, but I think you have a different niche and a style that makes you unique enough that calling you a clone or copycat feels downright wrong.
Love the videos, looking forward to more!
Yo man that’s awesome that your new here! I was worried with the re upload of that ost it wouldn’t get the same traction as it had so that’s good to hear! Want Berserk fans here they’re usually the coolest ppl, and thanks man I always worry to use the green screen because I thought ppl would hate on me call me a clone and what not but thank you for saying what you said really means a lot
you are one of my favorite new youtubers, is like nakeyjakey and eye pacth wolf have a children in a no homo way, keep it up!!
Lol thanks bro that’s a good description I’ll definitely keep it going !
To me i remember Jin roh the wolf brigade. There was first a novel/manga the panzer cop and then came the movie red spectacles and then came the animes most criminally underrated movie Jin roh the wolf warrior and then came the korian live action adaptation of anime which was not that bad considering how badly other adaptations failed. But Jin roh man that was a very well made anime the animation even to this day is excellent probably still the best out there and the politics that revolve around the story is based on Japan's own history even tho it was told in a different context and scenario. Highly recommend people to watch this masterpiece (ik this word gets thrown around a lot but this time it's legit you will get it when you watch the anime).
Wow these are really interesting! Can you do more? I know The Lion King and Atlantis were basically just Rip Offs but the whole copying scenes in movies I didn't realize it was that blatant! I'd love to see a Part 2 of this. Nice work!
The Lion King isn't a rip off of Kimba. Kimba literally did everything you could possibly do in a animated series, almost like the Simpsons
This is incredibly intuitive
This guy is fucking hilarious man - dude's having so much fun producing sick content
Thanks bro!
Great vid as always.
Literally the only youtuber I've ever heard reference Chronicle. F*ck yes.
AYO my fav youtuber is back! Now back to the topic of the video: It's truly sad to see bigger names in the industry just take someone's work and have it as their own. Like black swan as you mentioned. On the other hand it's really really cool when the West pays homage to the original works of the East or when it takes inspiration from them such as the matrix and inception. And here's the core point of this debate: both these movies SAY where they got their inspiration/influence from. To me it's all about the respect and shout outs. "Oh you like my new movie? Go check out X movies where mine takes influence from, you'll probably love them as much as I do". It's not that hard and it's a pretty neat thing to be able to - on your own - realize some scenes or aspects of one movie that have direct influences from another. PS: yea I always stick to the very end of each video it's cool and I also enjoy seeing at what time you uploaded it (at leat I think thats what the time stamps at the end mean). Much love man, keep it up
Yeah you’re pretty much on point the time stamps are when I finished working on the video
Underrated channel bro
much love bro!
Severely underrated channel
Great video and it is a full cycle Hollywood influence anime and now anime influence but no more live action adaptions I want shows to stick with anime and manga only.
11s escape from prison was just that anime with the hands
Kinda wanna see a part two of more anime Influencies in media:
I know Akira and Elfin were the inspirations for Stranger things
On inspiration, I find it neat that you've been inspired by Nakey Jakey.
That's just a shot in the dark but I'd put money on it.
Oh yeah! He was a big inspiration
Nakey Jakey sure had a lot of babies.
Love your content.
Your channel needs to be more popular bro
u are the only man with a sense of style
Cool!!
100% agree, influence and borrowing things from other creators is all about execution. If it's too close to the original to the point it may as well be a remake or reinterpretation, then it's not really "your own thing". I've been putting off watching Paprika for a while, I'll be watching that soon so thanks for putting that segment in there!
I hope to god this guy blows up his vids are fucking awesome!!
Dang great Video. I honestly don't remember Watching Perfect Blue. I knew i watched it but i was in the middle of a Mental Breakdown. That accompanied by Perfect Blues Aesthetic didn't help.
Also your state about anime being cool? Nah, i still got bullied for it. And i didn't wear mech or act weeby. So yeah
