Rosamund Pike is Great!

Rating: 8/10 (19 January 2015)

Rosamund Pike is Gone Girl. Despite the fact that the first quarter of the movie is commanded by Ben Affleck, she steals the show afterwards by being able to "shape-shift" into many things while being consistent about how to portray a real psychopath in-depth. The movie itself is, according to my boyfriend, mainly about perception, which I agree. At first, I felt I could relate to the character of Amy, then I found myself suspicious about the seeds of psychopath in me, which then I thought it was normal at some degree because I grew significant distance from Amy when she started to really stand out. Overall, I learn that you cannot assume anything without communicating with the object of your assumption. I also learn that you cannot make the slightest flaw in your acting, or else someone else will steal the show, like what happens to Ben Affleck in this movie.
