I only recently became familiar with the term
chiasmus, defined as:
a rhetorical or literary figure in which words, grammatical constructions, or concepts are repeated in reverse order, in the same or a modified form; e.g. 'Poetry is the record of the best and happiest moments of the happiest and best minds.'
While this concept is generally applied to poetry or literature, it
can apply elsewhere. An interesting example is this
Robocop Chiasmus Review, in which the 1987 film is inspected start to finish for it's mirrored properties. I don't think this is especially rare in film but it isn't often that you get to pore over such a detailed breakdown.
For more examples, dive into the
Deja Reviewer archives.

Personally, the jury's still out on what I think about the FX show
Man Seeking Woman. It waffles between deliriously clever and aggravatingly basic. It's like a TV show for sensitive bros. What I
do unquestionably enjoy about the show is the
opening titles from Digital Kitchen. It's a perfectly simple animation style that's worth rewatching multiple times to catch all the references.
