In Nick Hornby's book "Shakespeare Wrote for Money," the author emphasizes the value of leaving cherished films and books untouched. He suggests that these works impacted us deeply when we first encountered them, at a particular moment in our lives that can never be replicated. Revisiting them might bring disappointment as they may not hold the same magic, which reflects a desire to validate their worth against our matured perspectives.

Hornby warns against the temptation to reassess these beloved narratives, pointing out that our critical faculties may not improve with age. Instead, the experience of their original enjoyment may forever remain unmatched. There is wisdom in cherishing the feelings they evoked without the need for re-evaluation, as some moments are best preserved in memory rather than analyzed over time.
