Homework #5: Mystery Box Video

In this video, Abrams spoke about how significant the concept of mystery was to him ever since he was a child.  He told a story of a time that he went to a magic store and bought a "mystery box" but has never opened it.  In a sense, he is saying that some things are better off left as a mystery in life; he also explained how everything in life has a mystery box of some sort, especially in movies.  In every movie, you do not know what you will open up to see inside of the box; sometimes, the meaning runs deeper than what the actual plot seems to be conveying on the surface.  All plots make up a concept, hence all items in a box make up a mystery.
