Gone Girl

GOTCHYA BITCH This is what happens when women don’t feel loved. They try and frame you for their murder, fuck off with their weird ex from highschool, then schizophrenicly change their mind when you lie on the news about loving them. Summary: Crazy broad realizes that her husband doesn’t really love her (i.e. he starts hooking up with one of his students), so she goes missing. Her absence, accompanied with her mother’s love for commercializing her adolescence and overcompensation as a failed parent, leads to an abundance of media attention, which ultimately paints Nick (husband) as the killer. There’s also this weird scavenger hunt and some neighbor that thinks her and the wife were best friends (just a set up so someone thinks she was pregnant). After she gets robbed and some weirdo freakazoid begins actually showing her that her husband wasn’t that bad, she kills the ex and come home like nothing happened. And she never gets caught. Oh, and she baby traps Nick. Mistakengers: I mean dude. In what world would this guy Nick not try and expose this bitch. She’s a fucking psycho, and will probably do it again. It’s also weird how nick is on-and-off super violent. Yet, he’s such a wuss in other scenes. From what I hear, this got lost in translation from the book. The dynamic is definitely Amy wearing the pants. She kinda bullies him into it all. I would say my biggest complaint is that so many plot points just never come full circle credit card bills, affair with the college student. The only thing that comes to mind is the journal, but everything else kind of seems like a prop. Probably a little over critical considering it is honestly a solid movie. The other thing, and probably another reason why this movie doesn’t stick with me that much is the lackluster cinematography. I think a lot of scenes are dialogue focused, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But kinda takes away from the visual (and arguably most important) aspect of film, which prevents me from loving it fully. Although I’m not the biggest fan, it was a good movie.
