Forbidden Planet inspired Roddenberry who created Star Trek.

Forbidden Planet was itself inspired by Shakespeare's Tempest.

Homer's Odyssey inspired Clarke's 2001....

Romeo and Juliet inspired West Side Story....

There are themes that seem to come back and back and back....

Are they somehow "Universal" or modern time writers have a lack of imagination?
