Gone Girl - Review (2014)



it's been a quite week for me. with not much movies and I didn't have a chance to go online.  So finally I watched Gone Girl. I am a fan of David Fincher, so yeah I wished it would be good. 2014 has been kind of a shitty year (exceptions being Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, X-Men Days of Future Past, Guardians of the Galaxy). So this was my most anticipated film of the year, and I was really hoping it would be good

When I heard Ben Affleck would be Nick I didn't think it would be good. But now I can see it that he can actually be good without stealing the attention lol. Pike all the way. She is perfect. I have to be honest tho, for me this is the first time i have seen Rosamund Pike shining from the beginning to the end, she portrays her character beautifully , every scene she is in, it's just mindblowing, she absorbs you with her great acting. Mark my words on this one, if rosamund pike doesn't get an Oscar nom for this role, then something is wrong

Love the disenchantment of Fatale Femme(Amy, everyone!). Only does she live as true self and be happy(junk food jamming, jubilant jumping, low maintenance, vulgar behavior, etc.) when she gets away from: either the man who loves her (but never knows her, esp. true her) or the man she loves (yes, the husband she's framing, and believe it or not, they are well-suited for each other!!!) the most revealing scene would be the one in which Amy keeps eating ice cream?  while watching her husband's tricky performance on the TV interview, her rich suitor sitting besides runs his look between the girl and the husband, just like an outsider. She's so attentive and enchanted to her rival - the husband, who has unexpectedly grown up from a passive victim/loser to a devious, manipulative guy. She confesses afterwords that she loves him more when watching him on the screen putting her, by lying, into disadvantage within the game.
