Today feels like a tremendously lazy day for me, what with the Stanley Kubrick compilation, posting the Captain America poster and now a pair of independently produced gems. First we have a segment of Kirby Ferguson‘s “Everthing’s a Remix” video series taking a look at a variety of films and the films that paved the way before them. The first half of the video mentions films such as Julie and Julia and Avatar before digging into George Lucas’s Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope.
This second video is a co-production between Ferguson and Robert Grigsby Wilson taking a look at Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill: Vol. 1 and 2, a film I’ve even discussed in the same manner before comparing it to Lady Snowblood (read that here), a film Tarantino himself admitted was a huge inspiration for Kill Bill and is also mentioned in the video below.
Neither video is necessarily ground-breaking with its information as much as they are interesting once Ferguson and Wilson present visual evidence of the inspirations we’ve heard of before.
