Have You seen Band of Outsiders? c’mon man, Tarrantino totally borrowed from this film

Neo-Glo​om

I agree. I’ve heard him called a collage artist on numerous occasions based on the stuff he “borrowed” (stole) from Godard. :oP

They are only similar in spirit but hardly the same in terms of ideology.

each tarantino film has about 10, 20, 30, etc movies it references.
the dance scene from pulp fiction with uma and john turturo is CLEARLY based off of the bance scene in band of outsiders (so the dance scene in hal hartley’s simple men. actually thats MORE obvious). i thought that was pretty obvious. but pulp fiction (just like ALL of tarantino’s movies) are like “movie mixtapes”. characters,certain shots, lines of dialogue, plot scenarios, etc in tarantinos movie are lifted from other films. thats his style.
i thought most people knew this by now.

Roger Hayn’s post above led me to think how LOS OLVIDADOS influenced two other films:

Hector Babenco’s PIXOTE
Mira Nair’s SALAAM BOMBAY!
and maybe even WEST SIDE STORY (?)
