If being original means having to throw paint in front of a jet turbine to hit a canvas 50 ft away then lets not be original.
Very few people are original. There's very little original anything out there. Because to be original means you have to stand alone.

The world is forever babbling of originality; but there never yet was an original man, in the sense intended by the world; the first man himself--who according to the Rabbins was also the first author--not being an original; the only original author being God.
Before YouTube, I was playing in restaurants and doing open mics - every once in a while, I'd throw an original in there. And then YouTube kind of just opened doors for me, so once I felt like I had an audience to share music with, I began to share my original music.
We now live in a world both in film and television where everything is based on something. You point out, "Star Wars" was an original screenplay, "Raiders of the Lost Ark," an original screenplay, "Ghostbusters" an original screenplay, "Back to the Future." All these things that people love were original ideas many years ago.
Cinema is the most challenging art form that you as an artist can create. It's easier to paint a painting because you're very alone. You just have the canvas in front of you and then you do stuff.

Whereas movies combine so many different things from pre-production to production, sound design, production designing, leading, organizing, while still being creative.

Life is a blank canvas, and you need to throw all the paint on it you can.
To me, having 'material' for an essay means not only having something to write about but also having something interesting and original to say about whatever that might be.
You take a painting, you have a white, virginal piece of canvas that is the world of purity, and then you put your imagery on it, and you try to bring it back to the original purity.
You never want to have a movie be derivative, because that's the worst if you ask me. I always want to be in original material, or an original idea, or an original vision, rather than a rehash of some other movie.
