why you should watch that film for the 10th time

I like those shows where they follow people through their lives - like the '7 up' series, where they interviewed a group of 7 year olds in England and then interviewed them again every 7 years after that, and they make a film each time. The most recent one was 63 up, in 2019, which means the next one will be 70 up in 2026. 

The films involve a kind of storytelling. That's how we understand reality - through stories. There's a universal element about each person's story and the story of all of them together, and there's an individual element. 

I'm reluctant to watch the series again because I've watched at least some of the episodes over and over. So, I think it would be boring to watch them again, but actually, I know that it wouldn't be or it might not be - it needn't be, because I would probably see something new that I haven't noticed before. My familiarity with the series needn't be a source of boredom. It there are new elements as well, my familiarity would just heighten the tension between the known and the new, and tension is the source of meaning.
