  • vagueness; a lack of transparency or an apparent contradiction in a storyline. Ambiguity can be used as an artistic tool to capture the imagination through confusion, as well as opposing perspectives and arguments. This is done intentionally in some films to stimulate thought, and unintentionally in others, as a result of weak writing. (Character ambiguity is used in the same way and can help progress or purposefully hinder the development or a character.) (Griffiths, 2015)
