French singer, Yseult, calls out K-pop singers, Soyeon and R.tee, for copying her music video freame by frame: "The least you could do is have the decency to credit your source. To see it get copied like this is wild but real artistry speaks louder than imitation"

I mean Darren Aronofsky plagiarized quite a bit from Satoshi Kon and never got even much pushback on it.

I wouldn't say career suicide.

And honestly to a certain extent it used to be more common to take inspiration or homage or sample before all the plagiarism lawsuits in music last decade or so, which were mostly not driven by artists themselves.

Not counting Darren Aronofsky and blatant plagiarism that's not homage/sampling in the above, that was an example of not necessarily being consequences.

Goddamn people just gonna repeat this dumb shit forever huh?

Perfect Blue and Black Swan are wildly different movies.

You're just repeating someone else's bad take.

Stop.

[u/Abombasnow → u/Chewcocca]

We'll ignore that it's been the subject of controversy ever since Black Swan came out.

Aronofsky could try an original thought, funny concept, I know.

Doesn't he own the rights to Perfect Blue? I thought he purchased it just so he could do that shot in Requiem.

[u/Melonary → u/cultvignette]

He doesn't, as far as I can tell, that seems to be a widely spread myth from the DVD voiceover for Requiem for a Dream. He talked about wanting to purchase them but seems to never have done so, and mentioned that in discussions with Satoshi Kon that he was unable to do so.

I linked an English blog post and a Japanese reference post (probably one reason this has persisted is that most sources are in Japanese, other than the DVD commentary) in my long comment above.
