Neven Mrgan's tumbl: Mystery →
The better the puzzle in a mystery story, the worse the resolution. Is this always true?
I understand that this is a controversial, vague, overbroad generalization. But let’s consider some popular mysteries. So, do you know of any straight-up mysteries with satisfying endings?
Mrgan uses Lost to talk about mysteries in general. His hypothesis — the best puzzles have “groaner” endings — is a really good one, and something Lost has made me think about a lot.
Some movies that might be the exception to the rule (great mystery, great ending):
- The Sixth Sense
- The Usual Suspects
Any others?
