Ranker's 17 Oscar-Winning Movies That Got Away With Not Explaining Major Things
"It's almost impossible to make a movie. Even if you have a perfect script, there are almost infinite unquantifiable forces working against you, screwing up your vision, from problems with cast & crew to permit issues, weather, financing, & endless post-production delays. If you manage to make an awards-worthy film, you have to make creative choices to get to the finish line. Such choices may include cutting cumbersome exposition, or simply throwing the audience into a world of absolutes, devoid of exposition. Despite the accolades, there are plenty of unexplained things in Oscar winning movies, a lot of which boil down to lapses in logic. Characters disappear or know things they shouldn't, and sometimes, well, stuff just happens. A lot of Oscar winning films with unexplained moments are considered to be among the best ever made. So why are they so confusing?" - ranker.com
