Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Apocalypse Now (1979): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Saving Private Ryan (1998), which they acted in: Apocalypse Now ⇒ Saving Private Ryan (the host's read). Two decades of Apocalypse Now, Platoon and Born made Ryan's grit necessary.
    “By the time Saving Private Ryan was released, moviegoers have spent two decades being confronted by the likes of Apocalypse Now in Platoon and born in the Fourth of July.”
