@AdamSerwer Oh, if you’re talking specifically about genre blockbusters then Kurosawa is very obviously a major influence. But if we’re talking “American action cinema” more broadly, then the most important recent influences include Hong Kong’s John Woo and Korea’s Park Chan-wook. — PolitiTweet.org

@AdamSerwer Hmm, I think it’s worth making a distinction between “influenced” in the sense that people with a specific artistic vocation are typically influenced by many of the greats who came before them and “influenced” in the sense of direct borrowing re: scenes, staging, etc. — PolitiTweet.org
