Minh believes that a certain director is “pillaging” his past work, but not getting much value from doing so. In support, Minh points out that the director’s recent films are very predictable, and in fact are nothing more than repetitions of his past films.

Natalie argues that the director’s recent work is actually original, despite their similarity to past films. How so? Because the director is using the same elements to create new works (rather than just repeating past works).

We need to find a point of agreement about the director’s recent films. Minh and Natalie agree that the recent films are very similar to the director’s previous films.

Minh agrees with this, and so does Natalie. Minh says that the new films are simply repetitions of the director’s earlier films. Natalie doesn’t go so far, but does say that the films have a “startling sameness” and use the same elements.

Minh agrees with this, but Natalie does not. Natalie thinks that the recent films do not show a lack of creativity that amounts to just pillaging past works, but in fact are original.

Minh agrees with this, but Natalie disagrees. Natalie thinks that even though the new and old films use the same elements, the new films are original works.

Neither speaker directly compares the director’s newer films with his earlier films. Each speaker expresses an opinion about whether the new films are original, but neither talks about how the old films measure up.

Natalie agrees with this, but Minh doesn’t. Minh thinks that the new films are evidence that the director is just repeating his past works rather than coming up with original new films.
