Metaphysics for the damned —

From the 1979 film "A Little Romance" —

Reading something you
don't want me to see?

It's just a book.

I used to read those too. What is it?

An Introduction to Metaphysics,
by Martin Heidegger.

School has changed
since I was in seventh grade.

I'm just reading it for fun.

Fun?
Heidegger?
Why were you hiding it from me?

Most people think anyone
who reads Heidegger is weird.

I don't. But I have to admit
that philosophy was never
one of my strong subjects
in college.

Heidegger.
You really understand that?

Heidegger isn't all that hard.
His stuff is mostly etymological.

Like, "Why is there something
rather than nothing at all?"

… And for the not so damned —

The actress playing the teen reading Heidegger in the 1979 film
"A Little Romance" was Diane Lane. The film was set in Venice.

Later in Venice . . .

premiere of  "Hollywoodland" :

An antidote to Hollywoodland . . .

The classic novel Under the Volcano :

"Here was finality indeed, and cleavage!"
