http://www.ted.com J.J. Abrams traces his love of the unseen mystery -- the heart of Alias, Lost, and the upcoming Cloverfield -- back to its own magical beginnings, which may or may not include an early obsession with magic, the love of a supportive grandfather, or his own unopened Mystery Box.

...id like to evolve that idea.any suggestions?whats more important than knowledge? that could get u further? lets say, in making movies. what could be better than having technical knowledge [that just makes awesome special effects?]. what would make your film kick ass even without that knowledge?

So you are telling me the magic store tried to rip him off? There has to be something in there.

obviously theres nothing in the box it can be anything you want it to be. to him his grandfather could be in there. (figuretively)

Very insightful and inspiring, especially because I happen to be going to the same college he went to to study the same thing! And now I'll remember not to hurt Tom's nose.

Mine too. He taught me a valuable lesson in this video. "The mystery is more important than knowledge."!
