Humans have been around for centuries, constantly evolving, coming up with new ideas and entrepreneurial adventures but are any ideas ever really original? Are they just appropriations of other information you have collected over the years. Have you used history as inspiration or copied it? Korbys film presented the fact that ‘of the 10 highest grossing films each year for the last 10 years, 74 out of 100 of those were sequels, remakes of preexisting movies or adaptations of books and comic books.’ Even if you think you have a truly original idea chances someone somewhere else on the other side of the world is probably thinking the same thing but with the degrease of separation you may never come to know this. Sometimes when paraphrasing a text I find myself composing a sentence that I am extremely proud of. I sit there writing, thinking ‘Wow, I sound really smart’ only to read over the original text only to find it is almost exactly the same. Its almost like a scene from Inception when I believe that an idea is solely mine when actually it has been planted there from past exposure to other material. At the end of the day sometimes the differences in a piece of work are original and intriguing enough to distract us from the other exhausted conventions.
