Watching Movies Backwards

Inspired by this Reddit thread.

If you watch the Lord of the Ring trilogy backwards, it's a saga about a little guy who gets a cool ring from a volcano and spends the rest of the films walking home.
If you watch Fight Club backwards, it's about a terrorist schizophrenic getting his life back together and going to rehab.
If you watch Batman Begins backwards, it's about a lunatic who prances around in a bat suit till he's cured by being trapped in a well with hundreds of bats.

if you watch One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest backwards its about a helpful Indian who repairs a broken window, replaces a missing water fountain, and then gets more and more pensive as he waits for his catatonic friend to come out of his coma, get his medications balanced and finally begin acting like a normal person.

If you watch Good Will Hunting backwards, it is about a guy with a lot of potential that threw his life away. Of course, if you watch it forward it is the same.

If you watch Star Wars ep 4 backwards it's about a kid who gets bored of space adventures and goes to live a simple life on a farm.

Watch any James Bond movie backwards, and it's about a man who helpfully puts things back together, removes bullets from people, and renounces women for a life of celibacy.

If you watch The Dark Knight backwards it's about a guy dressed like a bat that frees a clown from hanging upside down, and the clown goes on to make a large deposit in a bank.

And let's not forgot the all importance of him actually returning all of his Gadgets in full working order to Q in the end.

I thought it was about a horribly scarred mental patient who threatens a man and his family before reforming, undergoing massive facial reconstructive surgery and becoming Gotham City DA.

Re: Watching Movies Backwards

Star Trek: Nemesis is about an android who, after walking away from a horrific spaceship crash unscathed, decides family is what's most important as he tries to help out his retarded brother. But the bald guy who also survived the crash stumbles in the exact opposite direction as he grows apart from his son.
