Austin Powers

The film is similar because of the comedy, the good versus evil (sort of) and one particular trait that made me choose it as a video of inspiration. The way that my main character will have to defeat some of his enemies is quite different because he lacks special fighting powers so I figured since Austin Powers defeats his foes in weird ways that I could draw from Austin a bit. That would be a similarity between them. The odd ways that they defeat the bad guys. It's different because Austin has no special powers at all and is a special agent of some kind while my character has powers and isn't an agent. 

The film works because it's new and very comical. Also quite mysterious. It draws you in making you want to see more of what's going to happen because you know you're gonna laugh more. 

I can relate to Austin Powers because I know I'd feel quite out of place if I was frozen in time for x amount of years and brought back seeing how the world has changed without me. It'd be difficult to mesh with everyone and I expect they'd look at me crazy especially how I dress and so on.
