Thought-provoking

Rating: 8/10 (30 March 2020)

So, the Academy award nominated movie Gone Girl was adapted from 2012 novel with the same name. This movie is about a husband whose wife goes missing. And now, rumors are going on everywhere about what happened to this girl? Where is she now? Is she a victim of some kind of abduction? Is Affleck involved in this whole thing somehow? This is without a doubt one of Ben Affleck's best performances ever. He is so perfectly fits in this role. Rosamund Pike is also excellent in this movie.
As the movie progressed, it continuously got darker and darker. It really makes you think differently about the way we view the media, about the way we view the news and about the way we make our own judgment afterwards without even knowing anything about them at all. That's something this movie shows so well; about how the news and the media can affect a situation. What I love about this movie is that there are so many hidden dark secrets of both the main characters. The story is very dark and also very rude. The various twists and turns in the movie come in a very perfect and natural way. That is a great screenplay done by Gillian Flynn. Tyler Perry was also great in this film. Neil Patrick Harris is just about okay in his role. All in all this is a flawless, well made movie, dramatically powerful and wonderfully directed.
