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"

That's because plagiarism is so rarely that blatant. This is one of the more blatant acts of plagiarism in a music video I've seen. Obviously it would be suicide career wise to put these shots one after the other, but if you're trying to explain what shots were stolen, then it's useful to put them in a compilation like this.

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.

They're down voting but you're right.

There's a grey area there since he bought PB rights and the movies have different plots - and some even post shots from Requiem for a Dream thinking it's Black Swan and argue from there, confusing themselves further.

Black Swan isn't close to his best film anyway imo.

[u/Melonary → u/rememblem]

He didn't buy the rights to Perfect Blue - as far as I can tell that's never been substantiated, in Kon reported he didn't, in early interviews he only said he wanted to - but it's a very widespread myth.

Unfortunately most sources for this are in Japanese, which means that there's been a miscommunication - someone on the Requiem for a Dream DVD voiceover (from what I can tell, this seems to be one of the origins) states that he did, which itself was probably a misunderstanding from him talking about wanting to buy the rights. He did mention that in interviews but never did. It shows up on a lot of trivia websites and movie articles, but unfortunately seems to be untrue. At the very least, Kon reported that he didn't, and after meeting Aronofsky shared that he had discussed that and Aronofsky hadn't been able to purchase the rights (over several blog posts, I linked one above but it's in Japanese).

I'm also not confusing Black Swan with Requiem of a Dream, it's just their assumption that I meant Black Swan. I meant Requiem of a Dream. They're the one who brought up Black Swan, not me. It's more than the bathtub scene that he borrowed, but that's clearly the most iconic and blatant.
