Abstract

An essay on the presence of Utopian content in marriage is presented. It references the film "50 First Dates," starring Andam Sandler and Drew Barrymore which was an example of the utopian film genre that was describes as the comedy of remarriage. It also argues philosopher Alain Badiou's insights on the unending process of remaking, renewal, and reinvention required in a marriage.
