Creativity Risks in Imitation

The comparison between two films reveals a tension between originality and imitation, specifically how one film, 'Zero Hour', deeply influences another without significant innovation. While attempting to add humor to an overly dramatic narrative, the result feels more like a direct copy rather than an inspired reimagining.
