After seeing the picture, one of the best Directors of the psychological and genre Thriller — David Fincher, less than two years ago, and revised it recently, I decided to share my thoughts, tested, though short, but still a period.
"Gone Girl" is entirely a real adaptation of the novel of the same name by Gillian Flynn, which itself expressed a desire to alter the text of the work under the script for the film. Why "the real thing", you ask? It's simple-no matter how Flynn knows all the ideas and ideas invested in his own work, because the dialogues in the film were organic and no phrase did not cause confusion. Speaking of the original, which I read shortly before the premiere, I do not dare say that the book is more brilliant than the film adaptation. The novel is suitable as an almost finished script, which in tandem with the Finch "stuff" gave quite a great product.
Almost everything that was in the book was transferred to the word on the screen. Even the division into two sides, that is changing the story on behalf of first nick, then Amy remained intact and without any changes. The idea itself is certainly not fresh, but very interesting, psychological, pushing for reflection and giving the viewer the opportunity to stand on someone's side. However, if you look, then there are no sides, there is only Amy — beautiful, graceful, intelligent woman strategist and manipulator. The key word here is "smart". Amy is too smart to tolerate, she, fiercely hating her prototype "Super Amy", is a representative of the fair sex with high demands, which, absolutely, does not meet such an ordinary and simple guy like Nick. The acting and Rosamund Pike and Ben Affleck are on top, especially the first, of course. It causes a sharp change of emotions and attitude to his character and at the end of the viewer is at a loss from the fact that he does not know whether it is a positive hero or whether everything is much more complicated. Can we assume that Amy Dunne is a psychopath? The Maestro gives the answer to this question to the audience during the reflection after the viewing.
The main plot of the film can be stated in one sentence, but it does not make it empty and boring. Important feed. Submission of Fincher turned out to be worthy, in his spirit, forcing the atmosphere and leading to a delightful outcome. Someone could seem. That the storyline for a long time harnesses, but this is the whole point. On the viewer is not dumped at once all that boiled the characters, their moves and twists are much more interesting to watch gradually, during the logical chain of events. This approach, as in the book, and in the film, due to the fact that the reader/viewer had a complete picture of the situation, knowing the vision of both characters and making independent conclusions. In a good way, it's a double-edged sword.
"Gone Girl" is an atmospheric, relatively psychological film, with elements of a Thriller and a detective. It is very interesting and takes a long time to unfold, which can not be said about the laconic ending, leaving the viewer alone with the reflections thrown by the storyline. Overall, I liked the movie, however, the sense of incompleteness and abrupt completion, does its job. However, as mentioned above, all exactly as in the book, so apparently above the head of the creators did not jump. Moreover, the idea, though not new, but interesting. To view recommend to fans of Rosamund Pike and Fincher, as well as the audience, respecting thrillers and movies with an open ending.
