With a good plot to draw upon in the first place, a 'riddle' at the end is sometimes best.

For years after Gone With the Wind was made, fans all over speculated as to whether Scarlett really did get Rhett back...as she vowed to do at the end. Vivien Leigh was even asked what she thought about it.

Well, some woman was hired during the 1980's to write a sequel, which was made into a miniseries called, 'Scarlett'. She did in the end get Rhett back. And the overwhelming response was a rousing...'so what'.

For those with imagination, the open ended finish is sometimes far more interesting than having everything wrapped up like a gift box with a tidy little ribbon.
