It could even be a youtube video or movie that you don't think anyone reading this has heard of besides you.

Several years back I watched a Japanese film called Fish Story. It's a pretty weird movie, and the first time I watched it, I hated it, and almost turned it off. It was just kind of boring, and it was really confusing because it kept jumping between different stories, and it was not in chronological order. Then, right at the very end, a short segment tied everything together so incredibly. It blew my mind and I immediately wanted to watch the movie again. I have never experienced anything like that before or since. I don't know anyone else who's ever heard of this movie.

That seems interesting, you've probably already watched it, but in case you haven't Memento is another movie that's told in not-chronological order and ties together at the end.

When that movie came out on VHS I painfully duped the movie in chronological order just to see what it would be like. Not nearly as interesting a story.

The DVD included a chronological cut.

Is it bad I thought this was a Japanese version of finding Nemo before I searched it?

[–] MelonYellow@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

Just looked it up. I like quirky movies and I like the sound of this - it's going on my list to watch later. Thanks! :)

I really enjoyed Fish Story too! I sought out other films by the same director/writer, Yoshihiro Nakamura, and found a few others i really enjoyed. I can't claim they'll have the same wow factor or impact as Fish Story but i love these films for similar reasons i love Fish Story.

Golden Slumbers was crazy, weird, beautiful, and fun. Awesome ending! Highly recommend. Much different from Fish Story but with a similar sort of quirkiness. Another one i found around the same time was The Foreign Duck, the Native Duck and God in a Coin Locker. That's a really weird one, but again with beautiful scenery and a sort of mysterious air. Another one i caught more recently and really enjoyed was called A Boy and his Samurai. I wasn't initially that interested in watching it but gave it a chance and I'm really glad i did. Such a sweet and charming film.
