Do you prefer to know MORE about the “Why?” In the movie, or do you prefer the mystery and filling in the blanks with imagination?
Extreme versions being Mulholland Drive on the mystery side and US on the explanation side?
If you prefer the wide spectrum of the in between, where do you find yourself generally happiest?
I feel like when I go into a movie, I tend to let it wash over me. The why of things is less important and it’s more about how that movie makes me feel. And as long as what I’m feeling serves a purpose to some sort of narrative moving me forward, I’m good.
I can honestly say that the logistics of how or why something happened or why or how it could NOT happen ONLY crosses my mind when the movie hasn’t won me over. It can be a chicken and egg situation, but I just prefer mystery, even unanswered, to explanation.
