Pretty funny. This is exactly what I have noticed in watching movies the last few years. Same story line, different leading character actors. Predictable endings.

Real life is much more complex and rich in story lines. Lose ends sometimes just fray until they have unraveled the ties that bind us. The good guys don't always win and too many times the definition of "good guy" is dependent on the reader's perspective or life's experiences.

Life may seem that it moves in cycles and that we are trapped along a circular path with a known starting and ending point. In real life it is probably more that we are looking down the long axis of an infinite spring where events do repeat cyclically but each ending is forever disconnected from the starting point by the terminal forward velocity of time so there is no going back, there is only starting over with a new opportunity to learn from mistakes you might not remember making.
