A friend once boasted to me that she had seen the film The Sound of Music no fewer than 17 times. Can you believe it? Personally, I cannot imagine a greater waste of one’s time, usually once is enough for me, but I have to confess there are such films that I, too, have watched on multiple occasions without ever growing tired of them. Indeed, some films have benefited from a second viewing, in exactly the same way that one’s enjoyment of a novel can improve on the second, third or fourth reading. It often feels like a different experience.

And a recent study has shown that it actually is different. It is true that rereading books, watching films again, or revisiting places where you have been happy, results in a “new or renewed appreciation” of the experience. The study says that doing something again enables people not only to relive the past pleasant experience, but also to discover more exciting new details. It is likely that when you relive a book or a movie, you find out more about it for another purpose, with a refined taste, from a new viewpoint or with a different experience. All these elements shed a new light on the second reading or have a greater effect on the recurrent viewing. “Therefore, the experience is different, even though it is repeated” the research concludes. “By doing it again, people get more out of it.”
