Bit confusing of a title. Sixth sense guy won against the lady who sued him for 81 million for copying original elements such as a woman holding a doll, and fainting.
Basically a troll looking for a payday, and she lost
I don't know about a troll. She's a director doing mostly TV stuff. It's not like she made a movie in 2013 and waited in hiding for another movie to come up with the idea of someone treating a doll like a real child and having a nanny look after it to spring her trap.
I mean, it's a pretty specific setup. I can see how you'd get mad about it, but also how it would just be an idea two people come up with well within the limits of the rules. I don't think one needs to take sides beyond the outcome of the case on this one.
