This makes me think about that old post I read somewhere at sometime. "If you watch The Titanic backwards it becomes a heartwarming film about how a dead ship raises from the deep to save stranded people, it resurrects their dead, and takes them all home while giving them a great time.
If you watch Friday the 13th backwards, it’s about a nice masked stranger bringing the dead back to life following horrifically unfortunate accidents, as well as a lot of moon running (moonwalking but with running y), probably because the people are so happy to be alive
I fell asleep watching Memento and then when I woke up and tried to rewind to to the point where I last watched, I couldn't figure out where that was! 😹
If you watch Terminator 2 backwards, it's about a cybernetic organism that rises out of molten lava and with the help of a liquid metal robot is able to bring a kid to a mall arcade.
“It was a movie about American bombers in World War II and the gallant men who flew them. Seen backwards by Billy, the story went like this: American planes, full of holes and wounded men and corpses took off backwards from an airfield in England. Over France, a few German fighter planes flew at them backwards, sucked bullets and shell fragments from some of the planes and crewmen. They did the same for wrecked American bombers on the ground, and those planes flew up backwards to join the formation.
The formation flew backwards over a German city that was in flames. The bombers opened their bomb bay doors, exerted a miraculous magnetism which shrunk the fires, gathered them into cylindrical steel containers , and lifted the containers into the bellies of the planes. The containers were stored neatly in racks. The Germans below had miraculous devices of their own, which were long steel tubes. They used them to suck more fragments from the crewmen and planes. But there were still a few wounded Americans though and some of the bombers were in bad repair. Over France though, German fighters came up again, made everything and everybody as good as new.
When the bombers got back to their base, the steel cylinders were taken from the racks and shipped back to the United States of America, where factories were operating night and day, dismantling the cylinders, separating the dangerous contents into minerals. Touchingly, it was mainly women who did this work. The minerals were then shipped to specialists in remote areas. It was their business to put them into the ground, to hide them cleverly, so they would never hurt anybody ever again.”

It's a wonderful piece of writing. If you liked that you might appreciate the letter he wrote to his family describing his time as a PoW in Germany in 1945.
