Amazing Girl

Rating: 6/10 (9 February 2015)

It's good to see a novel writer makes his own version of screenplay. Gillian Flynn did it well, and David Fincher directed it well. The film is somehow different in a good way. Normally in the mystery movies, the viewer don't get very close and beyond. We saw a murder or missing first, then the process of solving the puzzle and the caught or run of the murderer and c'est tout. But this is not the whole theory of Gone Girl. It's not even its principal idea. It goes beyond a simple missing or murder. It is like the creators want to show you a big house, but at first they pretend it is a big room, not a house. The point is the film starts when we find who really is in charge and what really is going on. The innocence and loveliness change their meaning during the movie but amazing Amy is always amazing, though at the beginning for awakening of our sympathies and at the end for her capabilities and skills in doing what that you specially don't expect from a so crazy stupid happy girl that Amy looks alike.
Gone Girl wants us to look from a different point of view. Maybe a cheater husband is not so bad after all, maybe the FBIs aren't better than local detectives, and at last, maybe when we see two very and perfectly happy couple, we should ask ourselves how happy and perfect two real couple could be. This is the principal idea of this movie and however we saw that in other good old ones, but I think the Flynn/Fincher version is completely worth a try.
