Plot vs vague

This is a complexed question. Take "Girls Boarding School" for instance. The plot is detailed, and that helps create for the actress(I don't like calling them models) an illusion of suspended disbelief. Whereby she is genuinely anxious or scared in anticipation to being spanked (if discipline) or enthusiasm (if play). Too much plot gets in the way I must agree. This is after all a fantasy right? A good movie has a touch of vagueness to it so the audience can use their imagination and therefore get more involved. That's why avid readers always proclaim that the book was better. Apart from being snobby about being an intellectual, they are more invested because instead of a massive plot they had to use their imagination.
