I am after thoughts on the film remake and repetition in relation to the eternal return.?

Question

Nietzsche and Kierkegaard

Answer 1

Hm... I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're asking, but I'll take a stab at it.

A fair allegory for the concept of the 'eternal return' might be watching a movie over and over and over again. Everything that happened before will happen exactly the next time. And if you liked the movie the first time, chances are that you'll enjoy it again... though it is perhaps only the most exceptional movies that could bear thousands of repetitions (I understand some people saw the original trilogy of Star Wars movies that many times).

A remake would be a different matter altogether. Depending on how close the new version is to the old, what happened before may or may not have much to do with what happened in the remake. There is no guarantee that liking one will lead to liking the other... in fact, the opposite may occur as you contrast the two versions. A remake is probably more like the idea of reincarnation seen in other philosophies - your native tendancies cause similar things to happen, but fine nature of events will change.

It is logically a fallacy to argue that there is "one"
"true" go. The proposition presupposes an assumption,
which has and is not substantiated by evidence.
"Faith", as we know it is also untenable. Since it
too is based on several confabulated fallacies. The
same is accurate with respect to agnosticism and
atheism. It's not the case to say, that we do not
know one way or another, but it is also not the case
that we do not know that we do not know. The
ambiguity leaves us in a state of evidence, or the
absence thereof, because we cannot explain the
implacability of the universe, which leads us to
Existentialism Kierkegaard, Freddy Nietzsche(AKA,
hermit, whore monger and syphilitic near-do well),
Sartre, Camus and other agnostics, who wanted to
rationalize their hatred for the Stoics in way form or
fashion they could. Thus, they ruminated around and
hatched one of the most dangerous philosophies on
earth: the idea that man is essentially nothing pitted
against the implacability of the universe. If this is
so, then it also nothing to kill somebody, which as we
all know is nonsense. Rather than admit, that their
philosophy breaks down, they would rather proselytize
verisimilitude's of its vagary upon the world as being
the end all and be all of belief systems. The
evidence of the reality check on it is quite another matter. Religion: if it's organized, then pick your poison.

For sure, there's a number of films which do NOT need any remaking, and others' fate depends on smth that dont depends on us. Jokin'. As for me i can see "5-th element" and others time after time, and... tastes differ, we may love one, but a man who dont and has "power" to remake it (take it simplified) u can guess what then. merely a theory, dunno how its happenin' in real
