Most of my favorite stories are told non-chronologically. Two of my favorite writers, Christopher Nolan and Scott M. Gimple, achieve a structure for their stories that goes unmatched. Even if the narrative isn't outwardly non-chronological - it is on the inside.
What I mean is that usually, they frame their stories by giving the audience something that seems unimportant in the beginning of a story, and they morph that into something more by the end of the story.
For example, I'll use Christopher Nolan's most recent film, Oppenheimer (2024). In that film, the seemingly unimportant scene was a discussion between Oppenheimer and Einstein, that we as the audience only observed from afar.
The next way they frame their stories is by returning to that same event throughout the narrative, really making it clear that this one piece of information should be remembered. In Oppenheimer, Nolan does just that by revisiting and referencing the moment several times, so we as the audience won't forget that it happened.
The last way they frame their stories is by returning to this bit of information by the end of the narrative, but by then - after the journey the characters and we as an audience have gone through, it will have some sort of new meaning and significance. Nolan does this in Oppenheimer by returning to the dialogue exchange between Oppenheimer and Einstein in the end, but this time we as the audience experience things from Oppenheimer's perspective, and therefore see this interaction between the two in an entirely different light.
Oppenheimer in particular had an outwardly non-chronological narrative, but even in Gimple's linear TV show episodes and Nolan's linear films, this pattern remains the same (just in a slightly altered way.)
I love the way these two writers frame their stories, and I'm in constant awe at how engaging they always are to me. I think it's because, when done this way, I feel the stories are more gratifying on a rewatch, now that the significance of the repeated moment had been revealed. I always try and weave some of this structure into my writing, as I hope others will enjoy it just as much as I do.
