When I saw the trailer for "Sleeping Beauty", I was pretty sure that the film was born out of Kawabata Yasunari's novel of the same name.
I originally thought that the director should have bought the copyright for this story, because the story is a short story, and the copyright fee should not be too high. The author is a modern writer who has won the Nobel Prize for Literature. This work must have quite a lot of readers. I’ve seen it, and I don’t expect the director to be so reluctant to save this money.
When the film was officially released, I rummaged through the opening and ending of the film and didn't see any words based on. I only saw written and directed by Julia Leigh. I didn't expect the director to directly claim that this work is his own original as a screenwriter.
Maybe today’s moviegoers know that there are not many Kawabata Yasunari, but there is still a fairness, shameless plagiarism will eventually be exposed, vainly taking other people’s inspirational creations as their own, they must do a good job and be nailed. Preparation on the pillar of shame.
