Of course everything was inspired by something else before it. But at what point does something become stealing and not inspiration or homage? Is it fine to borrow exact framing and shot setups to use in a film of a different genre or with a significantly different plot? Should it be obvious or subtle. And does it make a difference if the source is obscure or not? Does Quentin Tarantino or Abrams take things too far? Is George Lucas a good example in giving credit to his sources?
