[Movie] Gone Girl

GONE GIRL MOVIE TRAILER


From the movie title and trailer, everyone would have thought that this is a kidnapping or murder movie. However as the plot slowly reveals itself, it turned out that everything is more than meet the eyes and the main mastermind behind everything is actually the 'Gone Girl' herself. 


Based on the novel written by Gillian Flynn, Gone Girl is the latest film directed by David Fincher, who is also the director for one of my favourite film, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" in 2008.


Ben Affleck plays Nick Dunne, the husband of Amy Dunne (Rosamund Pike), whose mysterious disappearance on their fifth anniversary make up of the whole movie. In the trailer, the voice-over of Amy (taken from her diary) shows how the married couple struggles in their relationship before her disappearance, of which Nick deny. The trailer ends with "this man may truly killed me" with the image of what appears to be Amy's dead body in the water is what makes this movie seems like a thriller when it's not.

MAIN CHARACTERS



Amy Dunne AKA Amazing Amy to the general public for being the lead character of a series of children's books written by her parents. This make her disappearing case a high profile one as she's influential enough. She fake her own death and gain the sympathy of the public media by portraying herself to be the suffering one, at the same time framing Nick as a form of revenge for his infidelity. She's intelligent and at the same time a beautiful psychopath who not only frame her husband but also make up rape allegations against men. I really have to give Rosamund Pike two thumbs up for her ability to bring out the double character.


Nick Dunne world was turned upside down after investigations leads him being suspected for killing his wife, Amy Dunne. His image draws even more negative feed backs as he is seen posing and smiling beside Amy's missing person poster and was found out to have an affair with his student Andie (Ratajkowski) during a press conference. His image to the public improves when he hires Tanner Bolt (Perry) to be his defense lawyer. He went on a talk show to apologized for his failure and sincerely swears that he loves Amy and he did not killed him. This segment was being watched by Amy and it rekindles her feelings for him.


Desi Collings was one of Amy's former rich boyfriend. Living in a private and secluded lake house which is full of security cameras, this make him seems a little too creepy than normal. When Amy turned to him for help, he was lead into the delusion that he and Amy can be together again. His role has got the most tragic ending as Amy slices his throat during their bedroom scene. This part is damn gross as blood just splash out onto Amy. Amy returned home and even claims Desi kidnapped and raped her, which is not true but this helps to clear Nick of suspicion. Tragic is that Desi believes that Amy loves him till the day he was killed by her.



Redeem a pair of ticket from my ANZ credit cards to catch this movie when one of my friend told me on FB that she's planning to watch this and this is one movie I went to watch the trailer before the actual movie. I feel the need to share it as I thought it's one of the best movies I watched in October. More reviews to come! Main focus of the movie is properly on the damage relationship of the couple and how when faced under fear and prolong anger, can cause someone to be so drastic in action.
