It's clumsy because it wasn't core to the actual artisitc vision. It was a conceit to the studio and Ford's opposition to it is why he attempted to make the VO as poor as he possibly could. I think the ambiguity and not attempting to fill in all the gaps is part of its strengths and longevity comes from that.

Well, yes.

Not sure what mark you are suggesting the movie, missed, though.

I think it misses the mark set by the novel. It's been some time since I read the book, so excuse me if I can't cite specifics, but I recall that my sense of the film was "that was neat, but it wasn't really the same message as the book."
