The Matrix came out before Vanilla Sky (but after Abre los Ojos) and featured many similar metaphysical themes. And the concept of Homo Superior (and probably that exact term) has been around for a looong time. Heck, when I watched the Lord of the Rings films I was blown away by Legolas' fighting style, as many of the moves he makes in those films were EXACTLY the same as many fighting moves my Harnmaster character Tarquin Melfea (Targan the Quick) had made in a campaign a decade before.
