read kafka, see goddard

When people say that they go to see a film for suspense and get pissed off when they are told about the ending, I wonder why it should have so much bearing on the question of whether to see it or not, the challenge perhaps is to tell a story where you tell the ending right at the start, and yet make everybody watch the story till the end. how to do it -- ??--read kafka, see goddard.....did they do a similar thing in their work --- maybe not....but they are the champions of nothingness...
