maggsmaggs Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Okay, so I am trying to draw a comparison from a book of philosophy, specifically narratives in history, and something current such as a movie similar. So are there any movies that start with the end and then the flash back to the beginning and the rest of the movie works toward that end? I know there has to be some movies like this but I can't think of any off the top of my head. Please let me know if my question even makes sense. Thanks in advance...

maggsmaggs Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 Thanks for the responses already. Pulp Fiction is a good one, I am now watching it online because I have only seen bits and pieces. Thanks gang! More movies are welcome too, I can use more than one example.

Steff Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 QUOTE (3E8 @ Nov 12, 2008 -> 11:28 PM) Butterfly Effect I just finally saw the alternate ending to that. Freaky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Double Indemnity for sure. Also Amadeus (kind of) and The Killing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Zelig Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 That one with Kevin Costner and the kid. Did American Beauty do that? It seems like there's lots but I can't think of them now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
