The bathroom full of water scene is definitely plagiarism.
unfortunately, one cannot copyright an idea.
JP Jeunet should be careful in accusing other directors of plagiarism.
His world famous movie Amélie (2001) is the copycat of 2 short movies released in 1993 and 1998! Links to the short movies :

For all that turns around the fotobooth.

For the concept of "fixing little hassles in life" and the Dwarve travelling the world and writing postcards!
The shape between us rip off is far worse
This is ridiculous. Now that he's an Oscar / Golden Globe winner these leeches are after him. He won, get over it!
Reach
Ridiculous
look at space between us, it's plagiarism
It struck me that Jean Pierre copied a scene from Ettore Scolas "Down and Dirty".
Remember the scene of the conjuncted twins who were trading stuff, using their arms in a simultaneous fashion in The City of Lost Children (1995)…
Also hes also been heavily influenced by L'Atalante 1934…You may call all of this a tribute to old masters, but were do you draw the line?
BullChet stop these kind of videos beeches.
Guillermo didn't steal shit, Complex. Cut it the fuck out.
Fuck off. They dance w their feet, you didn’t fucking create than wth
It’s Richard Jenkins
it did feel more like a Jean-Pierre Jeunet Then a Del Toro film but if There gonna punish him for that then Tarantino should get sued or what ever for his entire filmography exesally Reservoir dogs witch was mostly based on city on fire by Ringo lamb you don't see him bitching about it i think the scene is a nice tip of that hat from one filmmaker to another and the other ones being a baby back bitch Jean Pierre i mean but when was the last time he made a good movie since Amélie Never hahhahahahhahaa
*Richard Jenkins
They are really reaching that some Bullshit.
Wtf
lol then French are some petty ass people. Prob just being racist against del toro how dare a Mexican rise up in Hollywood and make some great ass movies.
It’s called a Easter Egg or a reference films do this all the time.
Great producer , love his work.
every movie and story has been made… chances are there will be similar
If yall like this movie, check out his other movie called Pans Labyrinth
Wtf thats stupid. People leeching because they want that type of recognition.
They say imitation is the the most flaterimg form of afection
French filmmakers always reaching 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Nahh maybe if they had also did that dance with the leggs but nahh the dude making the accusation is a fuk boii
Saw this movie in theaters…was good as fuck
Dude she fucked a fish ……this movie is nasty
And it's not just the dance scene, it's the bathroom scene, where they fill it up with water to the ceiling and the vintage tv with an old black man doing a tap number.
i did not know that France invented dancing.
Really? People that desperate. No idea is original only improved
I thought many musicals had scenes like this. I thought he was inspired by Fred Astaire
Richard Spencer?
that scene has been replicated in many hollywood musicals, its too general for him to claim plagiarism
LATE!
nigga. its a scene. one scene. have u never heard of artistic homage before ??? that idea not even that original and the two scenes aint look similar at all
You know how many movies have this exact same kind of scene of them?
Shouldn't the complex Staff be home already ? WTF ya still doing at the office
Hollywood is always plagiarizing.
The movie was dope af
lol this is utterlty ridiculous and why is complex reporting allegations out to the public. this man thinks there scenes are copy and pasted while if you watch the side by sides theyre almost nothing alike
That's also been done in many old Hollywood musicals.
1:13 its lit!
