Precisely how I felt.
I was reading and hoping to come across a quote from Nolan or Lucas saying how they were influenced by Hinduism and were bringing it to their movies.
Instead I got 'Hindus believed in something like this for thousands of years, so if Hollywood makes a movie that touches on this theme, it's due to Hinduism'.
I'd even be inclined to buy it if the ideas he mentioned were uniquely Hindu (like reincarnation) and not generic New-Age stuff that people all over may believe.
