Black Mirror : San Junipero basically ripped off Vanilla Sky

San Junipero basically ripped off Vanilla Sky

Watched the movie last night, at the end, there was no doubt Black Mirror ripped that movie off.

Thoughts?

Sure, I guess if you consider only the central idea on which both are based -- living on forever in a computer after you die -- and not storyline, characters, dialogue, relationships, tone, style, meanings, morals, conclusion or anything else that separates one from the other. I suppose The Shawshank Redemption also kind of ripped off Escape From Alcatraz if you think about it.

"Vanilla Sky" ripped off Alejandro Amenábar's 1997 Spanish film Abre los ojos (Open Your Eyes).

Re: San Junipero basically ripped off Vanilla Sky

Yeah, was gonna say that. Vanilla Sky is a near identical American remake of the spanish movie, Open Your Eyes. Penelope Cruz played the same role in both movies.

So I thunk we fund us a trolly-polly!

Re: San Junipero basically ripped off Vanilla Sky

Agree. San Junipero was a rip off of Vanilla Sky. I thought San Junipero was average Black Mirror episode.

You could tell near the beginning this was a virtual world. I started with they're time travelers and then quickly realized mid way they're just entering and leaving the Matrix and started to see Vanilla Sky in it pretty quickly.
