Cheap rip off
From the film The Man Who Sued God, it's 2012 and bollywood have not stopped copy and paste hollywood, south indian, korean films and music. It's just pathetic and even more sad that all the bollywood fans will not accepting it.
shareA LOT of what comes out of Hollywood is adapted, or "ripped off" to use your ridiculous expression, from novels or comics. The Help, Extremely Loud..., Spiderman, Bel Ami, Sex and the City, The Bourne films, Twilight, The Hunger Games... and the series too: Game of Thrones, True Blood... And that's only some of the stuff released recently. The list is LONG.
OMG is hardly a "rip off", the name of the Australian movie on which it's based was mentioned.
Ever heard of remakes?
Never noticed how common they were in Hollywood?
They is nothing dishonorable in making an adaptation or a remake, especially when the result is as good as OMG.
Keep your hatred to yourself.
Do you know the diffrent between a rip off and a remake? Remake is when you buy the rights from the production house and credits need to show anywhere before you can re-shoot the film.
Bollywood copy and paste tamil, telugu, malayam, swedish, korean, hollywood film etc 99% times without any copyrights. They say "adaption" if anyone point out it is a copy. Which is even more funny is when people like you i.e. bollywood fag fans who will do and say anything to justify the crappy industry.
I just love it, you guys should seek therapy or something, maybe get a job or a girlfriend?
You feel the need to make assumptions and abuse other people and talk of "fag fans"... That says a lot about you.
I like cinema, no matter the country they come from.
You on the other hand have a hatred for hindi films.
It doesn't matter if the rights are legally bought or if it is just inspired when it comes to the film's content.
If the guys behind OMG had legally bought the rights of "The man who sued God", would the content of OMG have been different???? NO it wouldn't have.
It's a business question.
OMG is a good movie (with a development different than in "The man who sued God") no matter if rights were actually bought or not.
Besides, a rip off means a "copy/paste imitation", something that is almost stolen, like the ripped off Pretty Woman scenes in Chori Chori Chupke Chupke.
On the contrary OMG takes liberty with "The Man..." and really ADAPTED the plot. It is therefore not a rip off.
It has nothing to do with rights. A director can have the legal rights to do a remake and still produce a rip off if the remake is basically a copy and shows barely no adaptation, no originality.
You seem to be a bit confused about the definitions, so let me sum up:
1. A remake: a film that is remade, with a variable amount of difference with the original.
Example: compare Agneepath (2012) with Agneepath (1990).
2. An adaptation: a film adapted from a book (or other sources), with a variable amount of differences with the original.
Example: compare the films Devdas and Dev.D with the original novel Devdas, or Mirrors Mirrors and Snow White & the Huntsman with the original tale of Snow White...
Both 1. & 2. can go to the extent of being only very loosed adapted from/based on the original material.
When you say "remake" people tend to think it will be close to the original, when you say "adapted from/based on/inspired from" people think of something a bit different than the original.
OMG belongs to that category.
3. A rip-off: a blunt copy/paste.
Buying the rights falls in the legal discussion.
You can produce a faithful remake or a very loose one with new elements thrown in whether you've bought the rights or not.
A more correct term than "rip off" for dishonest copying (when you copy something but don't mention the source) would be plagiarism.
OMG on the contrary clearly mentions its sources of inspiration (a film and a play). Anyway it's not even a copy/paste.
Writer Wilson Mizner said: "If you copy from one author it's plagiarism, if you copy from two it's reasearch".
Go meditate on that and think twice before your next post about "ripping off" and "copying".
How is your mom bro? Tell her to call me
P.S I didn't read your last comments :)
Proving once more very clearly and for all to see that you are profoundly stupid.
Hey, I'm fine with that!
And I'm not your "bro", I'm a girl. Can't you even read the freaking username?
P.S: Answer if you want, but to your own risks... Your next comment may make you sink to another whole new level of inanity...
Still don't even look at you replat.. bhen chhod bhaynchod :)
shareYou know, I'm very tempted to try something, an experience of some sort. Are you really not reading what I'm writing and still answering? It would seem so since in my previous post I hinted that you'd be stupid to answer again the same way and you just did... So I'm going to try something. If again you answer this post saying "I didn't read your last answer" or some other BS it will mean and it will be self admitted by you that you have the IQ of an oyster. Now I can't wait to see if you'll answer again like in your 2 previous comments. But even if you don't, you already make an arse of yourself in the previous 2 posts and that was quite funny to read. Thanks!!
