Re: OP

You've never seen The Usual Suspects, but some asshat told you before you went that Kevin Spacey is Keyser Soze and the entire movie is a story he makes up by taking a word here or phrase there from around the office so that you have no idea how much of any of the story was real except that people died. You don't think that's going to take all the fun out of the reveal when he suddenly stops limping down the sideway and lights a cigarette with completely useful hands?

Or how about The Sting? If you know the entire back half of the movie is a con and who perpetrates it, what's the fun of going along with the act?

Instead of concentrating on the narrative as it was intended, for you to trust the characters as they are and wait for the development, you instead spend the entire time knowing that you have to be looking for something. If you know Kevin Spacey will be revealed to be Keyser, you spend the entire film waiting for the reveal and instead miss the whole movie.

I will honestly never understand wanting to read the last page of the book first. It's like knowing how your life is going to turn out before you've even lived it. Where's the adventure in that?

Agreed, anon. And The Usual Suspects is one of my favorite movies, in part because of how much I loved the way I felt when I got to that final discovery.
