Review title: The borrowing goes both ways
Product review: It troubles me how often in these reviews, and in the reviews of other non-American films, everything comes down to the fact that story and character elements are "borrowed" from Hollywood films, as though everything original in the history of cinema came out of Los Angeles. In fact Hollywood itself has a long history of "borrowing" - without Japanese Anime, "The Matrix" would never have existed. So why don't we lay aside the self-serving pretence that "The Matrix" is either an original conception or a yardstick for SciFi films, when in truth it's neither one, or that Hollywood is the ultimate font of cinematic art, which it most certainly is not, and evaluate these films on their own merits. This one has many.
