I guess I should see Man On Fire, because that's the sort of thing I'm talking about right there. I can see what you are saying goes on. If they went out and SAID how he got those scars, you wouldn't be thinking about it yourself, and the mystery also wouldn't be there.
There's a famous artistic style from Japan that involves occlusion (which is the process of occluding so you know :D, actually I think I used the wrong word). Artists that use this style will draw SOME of whatever they are trying to and the rest will just be sorta hinted at but not actually drawn. Sometimes they will draw a person's face for instance, but not the hair, and the image will sorta just bleed to a solid "blank" color (usually white). It's a very great effect that couldn't be done if they actually drew ALL the detail.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
