"The Guardian" = "Rescue Wings" ?

It's about time for me to start a blog. hopefully I can keep this up.

Watch any movie lately? Looks like Ashton Kutcher's "The Guardian" is doing well in the box office. Am I the only one making the connection between this movie and the manga turn TV anime "よみがえる空 Rescue wings" (Aired early this year). I have yet to see the movie, but they seems like different versions of the same story: a new recruit in a search and rescue squad.

In the Anime, "That Others May Live" was shown at the end of the opening. A while ago, I swear I saw in the TV commercials the motto "so others may live" for the movie "The Guardian". It was cut from the more recent ones. I guess they didn't want to give the book "So others may live" free advertisement? Or maybe showing the motto is too corny? Apparently the book was published this year also. I wonder if the writer/author/mangaka influenced each other. We might never find out since the general public only care about the actors or director.
