#21: What movie best uses a non-linear narrative?
Last week we fought over child actors. It almost boiled down to another tie but LC managed to clinch it before the final bell. LC asks:
What movie best uses a non-linear narrative?
The Rules:
Post your answer as a comment. Make it clear that this is your official answer, one per member.
No profanity. No pornography.
Defend your answer in the comments and fight it out against other MFC members’ answers for the rest of the week.
Whoever gets the most likes on their official answer comment (and only that comment) by Friday night wins the fight. You may like (heart, whatever) as many answers as you want.
The winner gets the honor of posting the next question the following Saturday.
In the case of a tie, the member who posted the question will decide the winner.
Notes:
Only movies will qualify (no TV shows, or documentaries); however, films that air on television or streaming (BBC films, a stand-alone mini-series) will qualify.
Your answer can be as off-the-wall or controversial as you’d like. It will be up to you to defend it and win people to your side.
Fight it out.
Would you like to join the fight?

Pulp Fiction. That movie is a head trip anyway, but the way it connects back to the beginning is pretty epic and makes you think through everything you’ve watched and the “why” of what has happened. It keeps you guessing and you’re confused for the first few scenes, but as with any movie, the second time you watch it, it becomes more deep and fascinating. And then the third time….
