Flash Forwards: When Directors Repeat Themselves

It all started when I saw Ridley Scott’s Gladiator in 2000 and noticed that the scene where Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix) kills his father was very similar to a scene in Scott’s Blade Runner where a replicant kills his “father,” the person who invented replicants. Both were grisly scenes of one man killing the other with his bare hands. That comparison was too graphic to include in this video, but it served as inspiration. Many directors who’ve worked for a number of decades will explore similar visual themes and ideas throughout their body of work. Sometimes it’s Robert De Niro playing an angry, rejected loner storming into the office where he felt snubbed, or a poetic hail of arrows raining down on the main character in the films of Akira Kurosawa. Come along with us as we uncover some of the moments when directors revisit and reference their own work. Want more?
