Allergy to Originality starts off with, I think, a very noble intention of addressing discussions about how so many films seem to be reinterpretations or sequels of other works (either already made films, or source material in some other medium); it's a discussion that happens frequently about how Hollywood is out of ideas now as though every year is the sudden demise of cinematic creativity. Instead, it shifts the focus to how much of our culture represents the adaptation of previous works to help create new ones.
