I recently saw a wonderful Bjork music video, bachelorette, directed by Michel Gondry, who also directed one of my favorite movies, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. The video cleverly illustrates some of elements of recursion that I also see in the Lotus Sutra (there's a recursive loop into the book, the book about being about the spontaneously about the reader). Not bad for a 5 minute music video.

One of the glaring difference is the melancholy unsustainbility of the recursion is the base case. Since each loop is more artificial than the next. The recursion eventually collapses, and that is the base case for popping out of the loop.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a good movie. The idea of being able to selectively erase memories is very enticing, too bad we can't do so.
interesting video, the recursive that is.
Yeah, it's a great movie about love, patterns and affinities that go beyond memories. Of course, most of the time they were fighting. That's why she went to get her memories erased in the first place....
Yeah, a very visually inventive video. Gondry is visually one of the most creative directors I have seen.
