Let's take MFrank seriously for a moment.
It seems to me that nearly all film storytelling uses narration which is to
some degree unreliable. Ambiguity, visual and otherwise, is used to tease
the audience in one direction or another. And don't the best of stories
usually end with an unanticipated twist?
Surely only small children believe (or would want to believe) that what the
camera shows them is the whole truth.
Are there any examples of well-known films in which visual trickery isn't
used?
