Ever wondered if a screenplay could be written as a recursive function, looping back on itself like a story within a story?

I’ve seen scripts that loop, but never a screenplay that literally calls itself back to the opening scene. It would be neat, if you’re into infinite regress, but directors usually prefer a clear narrative arc over a stack trace.

I get the appeal, but a self‑referencing screenplay feels more like a bad joke than a script. A good arc usually beats a stack trace any day.

Sounds like a clever riddle, but if the audience can’t spot the punchline before the credits roll, it’s probably just a clever way to waste rehearsal time.

If the audience never catches it, the loop just feels like extra work, not art. Clear beats cryptic unless the twist actually lands.

Right, if the trick is so buried it needs a decoder ring, then it’s more gimmick than craft; a clever twist earns applause, a buried loop earns a blank stare.
