The idea that culture eats itself means that there are no new ideas. The films have become more formulaic, as they have followed other films down to the detail. Film producers don't want to take risks as they want to gain back the money that they spent on the film. Two films that we would like to compare are:
- American Pie (1999) - The film about rebellious teenagers has inspired other popular films that we've heard of today such as Superbad and Inbetweeners.
- Django (1966) - The film about a rebellious cowboy seeking revenge has the plot that has inspired many other films such as Django Unchained and Inglourious Basterds.
For : Proves that even after max 50 years the directors are referring back to old movies to establish with new technology or remakes to reach new modern audience. Even Romeo & Juliet wasn't the original love story.
Against : Independent films don't copy each other as much as hollywood films do as independent films are more controversial and radical.
