Why you rewatch the same films | Movies, Myth and Men

There's a reason you keep going back to the same films.

"Every hero you love is living something you're not. Every victory they achieve is a victory you've postponed for yourself. Every dragon they slay is a dragon you've been avoiding."

From my book Movies, Myth and Men.

You go back to a film because one character is doing something that you haven't. The stronger the pull of a story, the more that part of your own life is asking for your attention.

Most people have a pattern like this running and don't know it's there. If you want to find yours, do the Atlas. It names the pattern running your life in a single sitting. It's free at codexofthearchitect.com
