I went to see a movie "Slumdog Millionaire" during Golden week.
It was a good movie.
Most of all I was surprised to find that a TV quiz show in this film was exactly same quiz show on Japanese TV. Japanese one is a imitation of British TV quiz show named "Who want to Be a Millionaire" and the idea is owned by Sony Pictures Television International. Besides the original is another radio program "cash mountain". I suspect same quiz show might be all over the world and someone might be a millionaire by selling the idea.
I haven't seen the movie but then I rarely go out to see movies these days. Who Wants to be a Millionaire" also shows in the US and you are correct that the producers of the show have gotten rich selling the idea but they are more than millionaires.
ReplyDeleteI think all things are recycle, sometimes in different ways. So yeah, a game show or anything might be this way in one place, and different in a next.
ReplyDeleteThis movies looks interesting.
