Rush and Weekend Of A Champion use close looks at 1970s racing stars to explore the daredevil experience and the drive to win. Spring Breakers and The Bling Ring simultaneously celebrate and mock youth culture by following a young group of thieves obsessed with their perceptions of a glam, media-influenced lifestyle.
It’s A Disaster and This Is The End trap friends in a house together during an apocalyptic event, and watch their relationships disintegrate. White House Down and Olympus Is Fallen both pit action heroes against terrorist forces assaulting Washington D.C.
Their methods and focuses differ, but neither invalidates the other both approaches can comfortably co-exist and comment on the same real-world events with equal insight.Ģ013 was a banner year for fraternal-twin films-movies that explored strikingly similar plots or themes, but in such different ways that the resemblance is much clearer in description than in the experience. But in spite of the similarities, they’re such startlingly different films that they complement each other more than they compete with each other. And in the middle, both films explore the same scenario: a freighter hijacked by Somali pirates, who threaten to kill the captain and crew unless the ship’s owners come across with a multi-million-dollar ransom.
Both movies end in the same place as well, with the same character traumatized into incoherence, unable to communicate to outsiders what he’s just been through. The 2013 based-on-a-true-story American film Captain Phillips and the 2013 fictional Danish feature A Hijacking both begin in the same place, with a crew member from a commercial freighter talking to his wife about how his job takes him away from home for extended periods, and what the separation does to her and their offspring.
