Mystery in the films we've studied

Vertigo
Supernatural element
What's happening at start
Is Judy going to tell the truth
Relationship between Midge - Scotty

Blade Runner
Who Deckard is
What Replicants are
Why they need to be hunted
Why is the world X
Rachel - Deckard, love dynamic

I like films like Blade Runner because of mystery, to not have some questions answered

Ie Vertigo sets up a supernatural 'mystery box' with another box inside it

Good films invest in characters
