The Backwards Movie Thread

Postby trishan » Sun Nov 20, 2011 12:34 pm

Describe the plot of a movie if you were to watch it backwards. Examples:

If you watch Titanic backwards, It is a heart warming tale of a ship which jumps out of the water & saves lots of drowning people

If you watch 127 hours backwards, it’s a lovely film about a disabled man finding an arm in the desert.

If you watch Jaws backwards, it's a movie about a shark that keeps throwing up people until they open a beach.

The Lord of the Rings - the story of a mentally challenged Hobbit who overcomes his disability by retrieving his finger — and a golden ring — from the depths of a sinister volcano. As an act of gratitude, he travels the known lands in order to save people’s lives by pulling swords out of their bodies. The Hobbits then spend the rest of their days in the peaceful idylls of the countryside.

If you watch the Curious Case of Benjamin Button backwards, it's a tale of how a young boy grows up and eventually crawls into his mother's womb as an old man.

If you watch The Fast and the Furious backwards, it's the story of a man who is given a huge going-away party just before he begins a quest to drive as fast as possible while shifted into Reverse. His quest is complicated by others who believe they would better at driving backwards. Incredibly, all the contestants tie for first place in every race they enter. Even more remarkable, they simultaneously run out of gas just as they reach the finish line. Seeing the futility of this, they return to their former lives.

Haha.

If you watch Cinderella backward, it's about a woman who learned her god damn place in the world!

Also, if you watch Leaving Las Vegas backwards, it's the story of a terminally-ill man who is healed, thanks to the curative powers of alcohol.
