10 Movies That End Where They Begin According to MovieWeb
""It's not what you say, but how you say it." You may or may not have heard this before, and you can agree or disagree with it, but this statement carries some truth with it. A script can have an interesting setting, captivating characters, and be completely cohesive, but if the narrative is not entertaining, the movie is doomed before it reaches page two. As such, screenwriters' first goal is to grab the viewers' attention right from the start. As it happens, an effective way to do it is to begin the story at the ending - or end it at the beginning, for that matter. The so-called "inverted narrative" instantly triggers the public's curiosity, making them eager to find out how it all happened to get to that point. This is not a particularly new technique, nor it is too hard to find, but some movies excelle in their reverse chronology story, blowing people's minds at the end – or should we say in the beginning?" - movieweb.com
