I can and just did. In chronological order it would be a dull and predictable movie. They took a rubbish plot and shuffled it up. It doesn't make it a good plot.
Artificially limiting the audience's access to events does not make those events any more credible or dramatic.
If you watch Citizen Kane already knowing what Rosebud is, you'll still appreciate a fantastic story. When I watch Memento already knowing what order things happened, the individual scenes just seem ridiculous.
