I was inspired by the structural films of James Benning and Chantal Akerman...people walking, people brushing their teeth, people sitting around, etc. - Richard Linklater
It amazes me that some folks have such a difficult time understanding and/or accepting that some filmmakers draw direct influence from older filmmakers that came before them. Some people just like to debate & disagree with anything because it's in their DNA to be a difficult human being in general, but others really don't have the capacity to see (obvious) influence unless its an homage in Quentin Tarantino movie (and even some Tarantino diehards will deny obvious influences on him).
This post, on the ongoing influence that Chantal Akerman had on Richard Linklater's early films, is for folks who appreciate the idea of generational influence, film history and similarities between certain movies.
