One other instance of lazily-interpreted, might-makes-right, proto-Nazi Nietzsche comes from the films impressed by the real-life homicide case of the Nietzsche-reading pair Leopold and Loeb. Probably the most well-known one is, in fact, Hitchcock’s Rope, which, you guessed it, additionally namedrops the primary dude, however there’s additionally Homicide by Numbers, a Sandra Bullock-Ryan Gosling thriller you most likely forgot till now, and that, yup, nicely, additionally references him. Misinterpreting Nietzsche is unfortunately a normal sample in mainstream films, however hey, if they’ll’t even perceive what turns their very own basic, cyborgs-from-the-future, wars-in-the-stars blockbusters into diminishing-return franchises, it’s not like we might demand a lot better.
So what’s subsequent, Hollywood? How about an everlasting recurrence motion film that doesn’t completely suck? Or will the MCU find yourself returning again to the primary Iron Man in a couple of years and declare a complete infinite looped time reboot? As a result of yeah, simply because it occurs with True Detective-referenced round time, time loop films are the opposite Nietzschean theme par excellence, and even his nice fictional work has been argued by non-grifty, precise Nietzsche specialists to be set in a Groundhog Day. So Netflix, because you’re clearly obsessed with eternally returning to this concept, why not simply get it over with and name me so we will do it correctly?
I imply, even the theme tune is already written.
