A corollary of Friedrich Nietzsche’s principle of eternal return:
Time is infinite. Imagination is not. Thus there are remakes.See also Stubbs’s Corollary.
[Inspired by the news that Steven Spielberg is planning to remake The Grapes of Wrath. Yes, there are good reasons to retell stories. But here I say hands off.]
I hated the Henry Fonda movie--bowdlerized and sappy. I think we can trust Spielberg at least that far....
