Soviet sci-fi writer, 76-year-old Boris Strugatsky, has accused Oscar-winning director James Cameron of plagiarism.
This work is not even closer to anything ever made from Strugatsky, totaly different stile, totaly different feeling. More over Strugatsky stated he didn't saw this movie and he will not see it (for Christ sake), how than he knows this is his idea.
This is not truth. Boris Strugatsky has never accused Cameron of plagiarism. He denies any such claim has been ever made (http://www.rusf.ru/abs/int.htm). This is just another lie from internet newsmakers.
It resembles the story of Disney's Pocahontas more. Seriously just take the summary of Pocahontas and change the names. VB's right, for the most part anyway.
Cameron was sued by Harlan Ellison for ripping off two of his Outer Limits episodes for The Terminator. The man is a hack and a thief. He should stick to directing and let someone with original ideas write the screenplays.
He didn't steal it from the russians. He stole it from Pocahontas :-)
People need to relax and enjoy the ....ahum! (MOVIE)!! Its a freakin movie and a amazing one at that. Lets not forget that its a Sci-Fi and these BLUE, yes blue creatures don't represent any skin tone here on Earth! I thought blue was a pretty safe color to pick but that shows that no matter what they chose someone will always have something dumb to say. I belong to a minority group that has seen its share of slavery and has native Indian roots in my island. I was in no way, shape or form offended by the film because people.......its a film, Movie, make believe!! They are freakin blue and 15 freakin feet tall which brings me to another point. I bet if they were 5 feet tall you would find another reason to bitch about like they depict races of short stature like mexicans, columbians and so on. If you can't go to the movies and understand that what your watching it make believe and that its done with the intention to make money by amusing your ass you have real issues that need to get worked out. Hollywood doesn't make money by pissing people off or insulting them, they do it by intriguing and arousing our curiosity!!
