Do you like books or movies that leave parts of the plot unresolved?

Additionally, do you mind books and movies that have portions of them that are difficult to understand to the point where you might never truly understand it?

Personally, I don’t mind stuff like this in general. Now, there are instances where it seems the author clearly ran out of ideas and just decided to end it with as much as he/she could come up with. However, in stories I have written in the past, I have come up with possible answers to certain questions but I decided to leave them unanswered in the story simply because I thought it would be more interesting that way. All my stories are some kind of mystery. I deal in mystery. In real life mysteries, you don’t always have everything solved. That can be the fun of it. Part of the reason I like the show ”Unsolved Mysteries” so much.

I don’t need everything explained to me and everything solved perfectly for me. Sometimes thinking about it is part of the enjoyment of reading or viewing it.
