You don't know what you've got till its...(Gone Girl)

Rating: 10/10 (2 March 2015)

I really enjoyed this film, the length of Gone Girl is a bit risky for people that don't like to go past the hour and a half mark but Fincher made it lovable. One of my favourite drama/thrillers. I have currently purchased the book and I'm thoroughly enjoying it just as much as the film. It has to be said that Amy Dunne is one of my favourite femme fatal of them all, when the film came to an end I felt very empowered as a woman. She was intelligent and witty, brave and so amazing that even Amazing Amy could not beat. Although, she was a bit of a loon she gave (and I quote from most women that have watched this extraordinary film) us a lot of empowerment. The way Ben Affleck's acting made us feel he was the antagonist, when we are introduced to the living Amy, fine and living life freely, we are brought to choose a side. All of the film is a huge disequilibrium (I thought) from one side or the other. It shows that the ideal "American Dream" doesn't exist in this film and it certainly shows men we have more power than they thought and maybe they should consider not cheating or this could happen to them! Only having a joke, but it's not impossible. Ben Affleck became this person everyone hated throughout the film and towards the end feel a little bit of sympathy for his character being trapped in a relationship due to the media playing so part, since the media becomes very into the Nick and Amy story, all Amy had to do was subtract herself for a while, create a story to put Nick Dunne in a bad light, reappear and add a baby to lock him into a life of misery. Great thriller/ drama. David Fincher has done it again! Amazing plot from Gillian Flynn, looking forward to the next book she produces. Thank you for reading.
