What if you take a movie's basic premise (it's a foreign one), and base your story on that? However, the plot would be different.

If you're basing your story on that, but the plot is different.....then how are you basing your story on it in the first place? [argument is kinda circular to me]

My teacher told me how one year she was marking and she came across this really good one but she wasn't exactly sure what mark to give it so she gave it a 14 out of 15 and gave it to her supervisor to see if they thought the same. Later, someone high-up came and asked her what mark she gave and when she answered, the guy said "Thanks. I wrote it".
