MYST Post #2: Gone Girl

Gone girl has been in the movie theaters for about three weeks and I have already seen it twice. This weekend I am going to be seeing it for the third time. Gone girl stars Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike, Carrie Coon, Kim Dickens, Tyler Perry, and Neil Patrick Harris. This movie is based on the book written by Gillian Flynn. I really wanted to read the book before I saw the movie, but i couldn't wait i wanted to see the movie. I hope to still read the book, and from what i have heard from a friend the movie does the book justice and it is almost as good as it. The movie is about a married couple who are celebrating their anniversary, and as nick(Affleck) is coming home to his wife for their anniversaries scavenger hunt he finds out she is gone and reports her missing to the police. As the media becomes obsessed with the case people start to believe that Nick might have killed his wife.

I think that the one of the most important parts of the movie was when Nick was in an interview with Sharon Schieber. This part is important because it changed Amy's mind about Nick. She was either going to kill herself or stay with Desi the rest of her life, but when she saw the interview her mind changed. In the interview he told Sharon about how he did not kill his wife and that he loved her. In the end of the interview he looked into the camera and said Amy I love you come home. This changed her mind because it made her go home because she forgave Nick and wanted to be with him. (spoiler alert) Amy planned that she would kill Desi by, slitting his throat, and make it look like he had kidnapped her and raped her. Then she would go home to Nick. If he would have not done the interview I think that she would have not come home and he would be arrested for her murder and be in prison for the rest of his life or have even gotten the death penalty.
I think that all of the actors did a great job. There is already Oscar buzz going on about this movie. There are big named actors in this movie and also new actors. Carrie Coon who plays Margo Dunne, Nick's twin sister, has only been in about 5 movies/ tv shows, but I think she did a great job. I also think that Rosamund Pike did a great job as well. People either think that Ben Affleck does good or bad in some movies, but I think he did a very good job acting in this movie. I loved his character. I got annoyed with Rosamund Pike's characters at times but I liked her character in a different way because she was very interestingThis movie is very long, but i was never bored during it. Usually in long movies there are always some scenes that seem to be boring, but i was never bored while watching this movie. I really like this movie and look forward to seeing it again this weekend with my dad who is excited to see it.

I give this movie a 5/5
