Gone Girl leaves fans wanting more

Emmy nominated film Gone Girl causes an array of fan girls across the nation. Gillian Flynn’s best selling book Gone Girl is based on the disappearance of a Nick Dunne’s wife, Amy. On the morning of their five-year anniversary she randomly goes missing. The book takes one on an exciting mind blowing adventure of finding Amy.

The book was published in 2012 receiving numerous praises from critics about the brilliant writing, and the wickedly clever concept Flynn created. In 2013 this book caught the eye of David Fincher, he began talking about creating a movie.

The movie began production filming in Missouri, which is where the setting of the book and movie are. Ben Affleck stars are Nick Dunne, his charming personality and good looks are perfect for the unknowing, unhelpful husband. Rosamund Pike plays the role of Amy Dunne, Nicks missing wife. She without a doubt nailed the role of Amy. Charming, caring, she is the most likeable person ever.

Throughout the whole movie there is something eerie in the air, maybe it is because a women has just gone missing or maybe it is director David Fincher’s brilliant mind setting up suspenseful scenes.

The movie begins to twist and turn as the media grabs hold of a missing Missourian wife, suspected to be murdered by her husband. Nick Dunne tries to hold together the perfect image of his marriage while being investigated by the police, but that all starts to crumble as his perfect persona is blown. Revealing many secrets that he has failed to mention to authorities.

Amy takes her husband on a scavenger hunt every year on their anniversary leading to him to places and things that show their love for one another. Generating just how many different memories they have together. Every single year the gift at the end is something different, representing another year together. This year it was their five-year anniversary the gift was wood. But Nick could not complete this hunt and receive his gift that day because he came home to an empty house with an apparent crime scene. Nick is investigated by the police and being questions about the baby blue envelope labeled clue 1.

Nick Dunne, may have been thinking he was smart, but he was acting in a dumb way. He lied to the polices saying that he had no idea what the clues meant and he did not know where he was to go for clue one. That would be one of his first lies he told the police.

Right after leaving the police station Nick heads over to the place where the second clue should be hidden, his fathers house. Nick walks into the house- security alarm blaring and is face to face with a baby blue envelope labeled clue 2.

The first hour of the movie leads the watcher to believe that Nick is in fact a guilty man, his mistress comes out of the closet, his twin sister Margo is convinced he’s done it, and so have the media and the rest of the United States.

Many suspicious things have come to the surface such as Amy was pregnant and Nick was unhappy about this. Amy’s life insurance was bumped up to 1.2 million just a few months before her disappearance; there were credit cards on credit cards in Nicks name showing that the Dunne’s were up to their ears in debt. All this incriminating evidence and Nick still held his head up saying he was not guilty. He decided that since the authorities were against him, he would have to figure out who took his wife on his own and why they were making it look like he had did it.

So Nick sat down back in his empty home and started to study the final clue. He was thinking and thinking until boom. He got it. His sister’s woodshed was the last and final clue. He slipped out of his house and snuck over to his sister’s, undetected by the police.

When nick arrived to the woodshed he opened the door up to an enormous amount of expensive items that were the cause of the debt that the Dunne’s were apparently in. Nick was shocked. He finally figured it out. His wife was framing him for murder.

The movie then takes a turn, it shows you Amy Dunne in her getaway car telling how she was unhappy in her marriage and how Nick took her money, her pride, and turned her into something she did not like.

In my opinion this movie is an award winner in every way. Gillian Flynn deserves all the praises possible for her brilliant plot and David Fincher brought her story alive. I suggest watching the rest of Gone Girl to see how Amy finally returns home to Nick after he has found out her secret plan to make him a dead man.
