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.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000): 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through Hero (1992), which they directed: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon ⇒ Hero (the host's read). Without CTHD's success Hero would not have been released in the US.
    “Well, you know, without this movie, you don't have hero coming out in the United States.”

What the speakers say drew on them or a film of theirs, marked the same way.

Mulan (2020): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Hero (2002), which they directed: Hero ⇒ Mulan (the host's read). The remake borrows wuxia conventions in an attempt to appeal to international audiences, reading as a try at remaking Hero or House of Flying Daggers.
    “it really just feels like an attempt to remake hero or house of flying daggers, which obviously makes sense to Amanda's point about appealing to international audiences”
