Everything is a Remix
This video was fantastic. Before this video I never really thought of movies like this. Of course, growing up when we went to movies with our parents we were periodically told that this was a remake or based off this movie, stuff like that. I never would have imagined that almost all movies today are remixed in some way. It just seems crazy to think about. Like the video showed us, some of the greatest movies to hit the box office use scenes from other movies. For example, Star Wars had a ton of things in it that were almost exact scenes from another movie. Hard to image what it would be like had these movies not used any remixing. Almost seems impossible. Definitely an eye opener though.

It does seem impossible, doesn't it? I think it honestly might be. Let's assume that almost everyone living in a modernized society has many of their thoughts influenced by the media. And since a movie director literally makes their living in a hugely popular form of media, and their films are projections of their own thoughts, it's entirely unavoidable to drown out media influence.
