When is it "too much" nostalgia?

Nostalgia's been widely regarded as a good thing, but when does it go too far? When does it become unhealthy for us to stick ourselves to the same ideas, the same properties, solely because we associate good things with them and they make us feel safe? It is necessary for us to be challenged, but how can we do that if we're constantly being given the same thing because that's what we like and what we're used to? With all these reboots, when is enough enough?

Interesting topic. Do you have any examples of nostalgia done right versus nostalgia done poorly? – JakeV 8 years ago

May 29, 2017 Kisforpotassium Great article! Brings up some things to think about. I’ve been revisiting this film through a lot of articles, and so far I’ve noticed many things I hadn’t in my initial viewing. This is one of the great examples that shows the parallels between today’s generation and the ‘hippie children’ of the 60s.	Why 'The Graduate' Still Resonates Today
