There’s always that question of “how much do I really know this person?” No matter how many years you’ve known someone, there will always be that doubt or whether or not you truly know someone, and if there’s a possibility that something you never thought that person could do gets done. By that person. It’s mind-boggling, and seemingly out of place to think that way once you’ve known someone for more than a year, but then, what can you do? Maybe run?
Gone Girl (2014)
In a small, sleepy town in Missouri, Nick and Amy Dunne are coming up to their 5th Anniversary when Amy suddenly and suspiciously vanishes. As a seemingly married couple who are somewhat well-known, Nick begins to face intense scrutiny from the media, especially since it is perceived that he is apathetic towards her disappearance. The question buzzing with everyone is, “Is he responsible or has a hand in her disappearance,” or “Is there something else that no one is noticing?” Through twists and turns, this film of cat and mouse will leave you shocked and probably have you deciding whether or not to go through your partner’s Google search history.
This movie written by Gillian Flynn after her book with the same name had me on chokehold. I haven’t read the original book, so I can’t decide on whether or not the movie adaptation properly represented the amazingness of the book, however, when I saw this film, I wondered if the book could possibly have been better. Sensational is a way I would describe the Gone Girl movie.
I had never paid attention to David Fincher before now, but I should have known that he would deliver nothing short of remarkable. I heard someone talk about how he looked at his sleeping partner after seeing the movie, and thought, “At least they haven’t tried to kill me…yet.” And that’s just the least of the feelings the film evokes in you. The thrilling mix of dark humour, suspense, and mystery is what makes this film by Fincher truly stand out.
The storytelling was amazing, and all through the film, I kept questioning how true my assumptions were, bringing out new theories that were immediately shut down by the turn of events, to say the very least. There were a few flaws, as always, and the ending wasn’t the best, or satisfactory, in my opinion, as I thought it could have ended on a more neutral basis. But I still believe it’s a four-star film by all counts that everyone should see. What do you think? Seen Gone Girl?
