Kierkegaard's Narrative:

Garden State

Zach Braff

Clearly in the same mold, although there's a sense that the protagonist's aimlessness comes less from his own choices, and more from his over-controlling father's drug prescriptions.

Protagonist: Andrew Largeman
Aesthetic Preoccupation: Acting, psychotropic drugs
Affairs: Makes out with some girls at a party
Repetition: Returns to his old town
Death: Protagonist's mother
Existential Humanist Act: Abandons his L.A. life for a girl he's fallen in love with.
