@dylwah Original Stars stole heavily from Hidden Fortress. That is not whitewashing nor is it the point of the article.@MarkBahnisch

@OtherSociology@MarkBahnisch kind of normal tho isn't it? Eg. Kurosawa's Ran, Mary Poppins, plenty of Bollywood adaptations of Austen. -

@OtherSociology@MarkBahnisch artists nick stuff. Whether they do it for love or money, they use what has come before.
