Influenced

  1. Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019)
    "A World War II film about Allied prisoners planning a mass escape from a German camp. In Tarantino's movie, Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) imagines himself in Steve McQueen's role, highlighting themes of missed opportunities and the fading stardom of Hollywood actors." 7 Classic Films That Inspired Quentin Tarantino's Movies Andrea M. Ciriaco Collider
  2. Schindler's List (1993)
    "Spielberg deliberately avoided the conventional Hollywood catharsis seen in films like "The Great Escape." He resisted studio pressures to include a dramatic turning point, opting instead for a more subtle character development for Oskar Schindler." Entertainment Weekly source
