MY TUBE-8,sept,2013 JJ Abrams, the man behind the popular TV series Lost and the director of Cloverfield and the Star Trek reboots, examines the enduring power of mysteries in this popular TED talk. Titled “The Mystery Box,” Abrams riffs on the attraction of the unknown – and how the withholding of information can be much more powerful than exposition. He cites the mechanical shark in Steven Spielberg’s Jaws and the eponymous alien in Alien as examples. “If Spielberg’s mechanical shark, Bruce, had worked, it would not be remotely as scary, you would have seen it too much. In Alien, they never really showed the alien — terrifying,” he says.
