So just so we're on the same page here paying homage to something is "shamelessly it ripping off" now?

"Quentin Tarantino heavily used this film as an inspiration to Kill Bill. Using the same plot, style, design, setting, characters, and moral. Even during breaks from shooting, Tarantino would even tell his cast and crew to watch Lady Snow Blood to stay in touch with what kind of film they were making."

Seems to me he wasn't ripping it off at all. He's never claimed that the movie wasn't heavily inspired by Lady Snowblood. What more could you ask for?

hes paying way too much homage to this film dont you think?

Kill Bill had a Box office of 180 Million $ while Lady Snowblood which is the better film and the original remains a nieche film, its unjust. Tarantino should give money to the original Japanese creators Hes a bad movie creator and a thief, a lot of people agree with me.

Wow, maybe scale it back to sanity levels.

You sound insulted that a holywood version of a 30 year old japanese film made more money than a small foreign film with a tiny budget, that was released when the industry was smaller and otherwise forgotten. Just get over it. Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid was directly inspired by Snake Plissken, a character in Escape from New York. Does that make Kojima a thief? Of course not.

Tarantino isn't a thief. He made his own version of a japanese movie. He never claimed it was his own idea. He never claimed his script was straight from his own head. He's not hiding behind anuthing. He continuously gave credit where it was due. He never stole anything. In fact he's actually made a special effort to take a lot of the lesser known japanese films that inspired him, and re-release them in the US.

P.S. The fact that other people agree with you doesn't make your statement any more true - it's a logical fallacy. A lot of people agree the earth is flat, but they're still objectively wrong.
