8:49 the reason she scratches her leg is due to the fact that she is no longer living the “cool girl” image for her husband. She is scratching her leg because she has stopped shaving.

[@TheJordanChronicles]

At first I also was really put off by how unnatural the dialogue is in the flashbacks, but then I realized that it is actually really smart. You see, all of those flashbacks are presented as coming from the diary, which we find out was completely made up by the wife. She was writing a version of the past that she knew other people would read, so of course she made herself as witty and "one liner" full as possible. This isn't some "fan theory," if you take a second to think about it you'll see the workings behind it. It is just a shame that it is so subtle, because it leads to people like this reviewer (who I'm sure is really smart) calling out bad dialogue.

[@dorkcicle430]

"Also, Amy follows a man she just met down an alley without any question..." This is actually a big clue, and something Amy herself probably didn't consider as revealing when she wrote about it in her diary. She has no fear. The so-called "warrior gene" is often associated with psychopaths / sociopaths (to use the common vernacular). It's one of the reasons you'll actually find a lot of people who can fit the bill for a clinical diagnosis (who were socialized well enough while growing up that they don't hurt people) in professions like medicine, firefighting, and other dangerous fields.

[@abbywolffe4114]

I'm sure this is a valid point but I saw the words "warrior gene" gave me Riverdale flashbacks

[@metalDCM8]

The warrior gene has little to do with a diagnosis of any sort. 2 people have been let off murder because too much weight is put into the “warrior gene”. It’s not really how genes work.

[@Karamarika]

Psychopath and sociopath are two different terms that describe two differently disordered personalities. They are not interchangeable.

I also noticed the “scratching her leg” in the library thing. I learned that you never show something on screen in a closeup like that unless it’s for a reason. In fact, I learned that David Fincher relies on this very strongly, that if he shows something, there is a DEFINITE reason. But that leg scratch is never explained, and it was a tight closeup shot. Weird.

The movie stayed pretty loyal to the book, but it doesn't have any of the "oh shit" moments the book has. The ending is so well done in the book. They both mindfuck eachother and realize that they know eachother to the bone. Sure, they don't love eachother, but they'll never be satisfied with someone else. The movie has the same narrative, but it doesn't show the moments they truly realize theyll never be able to be apart. Another thing, the movie paints nick so much better than the book. When reading the book I actually thought they were equally bad for a moment. It shows all the buildup to him choking her, it shows so well all the hate that he has for nearly every woman in his life. The book is also way better at filling those plot holes, it doesn't give some bullshit excuse about how Amy learned to do this only from crime books, it shows how fucked up she was since she was a child.

[@mirandastewart3544]

So...the book is better?

[@audreyquinn73]

Yes, the book is much better. I was so disappointed with the film because the author of the book wrote the screenplay and I thought it was going to be more tense and disturbing than the film.

@@TJ52359 It is Insane how the right of Due Process always seems to be forgotten and the public rather resort to the mentality of going on a witch hunt or go after the victim instead. You should read Actual Innocence: short stories of people exonerated from crimes they never committed after years in prison and/or on death row. Most were black men charged with rape after being put through a witch hunt and were finally saved by DNA testing proving their innocence. If those people read that book, they probably wouldn't have jumped down your throat and would appreciate the concept of "Innocent Until Proven Guilty".

[@UATDV]

The sins about the overly stylized patter between Nick and Amy are kind of invalid when you stop to think about the fact that the majority of that information comes from Amy's diary, where she is purposely crafting a false narrative. The stylization is a clue. However, kudos to you guys for a "Thin Man" reference.

Great movie < Worst and most unsatisfying ending ever in history of movies

[@KohlDayvhis]

The biggest plot hole in this film is that at the end of the film she decides to change her story and say NPH kidnapped her... but the thing is, since that wasn't her original plan, she literally had no idea what NPH was doing the day she staged it... for all she knows he was in a meeting at work that day with several people able to give him an alibi, but of course, the cops don't follow up with any proper procedures in this movie and just believer her once again... and let her go

[@Kedar4real]

Its probably one of the hundreds i could think of of the top of my head

[@leonpaelinck]

The thing is, the whole investigation was about her dissapearance / murder. Once she returned, there was nothing to investigate anymore. But there should be a new investigation to NPH's murder. Even if it still ends with her getting "self defense"

Regarding the fact that they get in the shower in the afternoon, and when they get out it’s dark: in the book they stand in the shower for an hour until the water goes cold as she explains to him everything about how she pulled the whole thing off. She wanted to tell him everything in the shower in case he had bugged the house. When they get out of the shower she announces it’s bed time. I think this was meant to illustrate how long it took her to tel him the whole story.

When they test urine for human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG aka &quot;pregnancy hormone&quot;), they can only do a qualitative HCG test. That means, we can only know THAT someone is pregnant, not how many weeks they&#39;re pregnant. A qualitative blood test is the only way to know how far along a woman is in her pregnancy. I only know this from a decade in the medical field and 3 science degrees. Should a film critic know this and not get it wrong in their list of everything incorrect in a movie? No, but that doesn&#39;t stop me from sinning it anyway. &lt;DING&gt;

The wood shed (Margo never going in there or seeing anyone lurking around it, the credit card statements) and Desi's intense security camera system which would have captured her willingly in his house dozens of times totally ruined even the slightest believability for me.

Not to defend anyone here, but she would have deleted all evidence of her in the house, except the shots she staged, and these cops would most likely just chalk it down to Desi having erased the footage to hide evidence of her being there, except he missed a spot

I think the fact that everyone believes her straight away emphasises the whole idea of perception in this film. She is the perfect 'victim' and everyone believes her because it's easy. Everyone in this film acts the way the think other people will respond well to, such as nick and Amy changing themselves to be who they think the other wants to have a relationship with, and how nick acts differently on camera making his speech to Amy because he wants people to be on his side. Amy comes back and acts like a victim, and everyone treats her like she is one without batting an eye, because everyone perceives her to be one.

[@themaggattack]

And the ones who don't believe her are too scared to challenge her, bc they know she's a psycho killer and that everyone else thinks she's just a poor little victim. Yes, it's ALL about perception.

[@thomasrosebrough9062]

It seems like the entire thesis statement is "women can lie and anyone will believe them" which is a super misogynistic viewpoint.

Comedies can be forgiven for really bad plots if they're funny, "Dude Where's My Car" is pretty funny, especially when high, but the premise is dumb dumb dumb... same with "The Blues Brothers" the plot centers around a church unable to pay overdue property taxes... the church doesn't pay property tax, it's a church, but we overlook it because it's hilarious.

you can willingly enter someone's home and still not consent to sex. rape can happen even in a home you welcomed yourself into.

[@rachelhughes4678]

Definitely agree, however in the movie she said she was kidnapped, brought to his house and tied up, so video of her willingly entering the home would contradict everything she told the police.

[@richardknows6763]

And no cop checked what Desi was doing the day of the kidnapping, either on his cameras or at his work. Also he would have been in the house alone for days while she was in the cabin next to the woman who robbed her. And Nick would have turned up on the cameras during that time too.

I just love how Ben Affleck - in EVERY scene - looks like he is perpetually surprised or baffled that he is in David Fincher movie.

[@StephenLeGresley]

What i hate about the film is that it uses his cheating as justification for what she did. She is not the victim in any way here.

[@6235river]

There's no justification. She's literally a psychopath. As the book is written in first-person, half from her point of view, this story lacks Amy's condemnation because in her mind she's done nothing wrong.

[@prideguy3233]

I don't recall them trying to justify it. Granted some very misguided girls see Amy as some sort of hero but those girls are fucking crazy.

[@dummysmith2573]

No, I don't think it tries to justify her in the slightest. I just hate the movie because it's dumb.

[@StephenLeGresley]

I think the film could've condemned her actions more. And literary origins aside i would've changed the ending at the very least.

[@dummysmith2573]

Stephen LeGresley All of the main protagonists call her out in private and she murders one of the few sympathetic characters in the entire film. The audience understands she's a psychopath (though there are some people who idealize her the same way people idealize Tyler Durden); what more do you want?

[@kseniiat766]

I was shocked to find out that her being alive is considered a plot twist. I thought it was obvious from the beginning.

[@llamasarus1]

The only twist I saw came exactly in the middle of the movie when she narrates her plan and let's the audience know she's on the trail.

[@Ten_Thousand_Locusts]

I read the Girl On The Train. It's really not that good. I saw the twist coming from a mile away. I haven't read Gone Girl, but I have watched the movie and I loved it.

I haven't, but judging from the trailer for the film it just looks like Rear Window on a train rather than from across a courtyard. Am I right?

Yeah basically, but I does have some interesting different things to it. I mean it's not a bad book or anything, just kinda bland and unimaginative. It's a fun read though.

The reason we see Amy scratching her legs is because she's growing her leg hair out, which can be kind of itchy at first. It shows how Amy is not willing to be Nick's 'cool girl' anymore and she's refusing to meet those standards

[@Segimaru]

The only problem I had with this movie was Ben Affleck's stiff play... but I must say... his dong took me by surprise.

[@twentywordsorlessYT]

That's likely why Fincher cast him - you're meant to doubt Nick's innocence due to his lack of conviction (so to speak). Affleck was perfect for this role in that sense.

[@Segimaru]

Mika Soze That's one way of looking at this. Interesting, thanks for sharing!

[@twentywordsorlessYT]

No problem! It was my boyfriend who first suggested that. I thought it was a very good point as well ^_^

[@tomstonemale]

I knew Nick didnt killed his wife from the start. The film it's not exactly subtle about trying to frame him from the initial narration. Or his wife's narration. Or how everything happens in the first five minutes. That and the fact it's a David Fincher movie. My guess is the guy's already tired of making movies of people having double lives. Other than that, I actually like the situation Nick was in, like someone who actually has no idea how to react to the disappearance of a wife that he doesnt love anymore.

[@lovettuduebor1902]

She knows the people around her so well that her plan was quite foolproof if it had gone smoothly. It really pissed me off when they made things that actually made sense not make sense.

15:35 It's actually legally required for a man to maintain a marriage with a pregnant woman unless she indicates she wants otherwise. Aside from that, even if they got divorced, she could pummel him into the ground with demands for child support and alimony and the courts would totally back her. There is literally no way out for him except for one of them to die.

[@Dairo512]

nigmoment info.legalzoom.com/can-married-woman-divorce-shes-pregnant-another-man-24391.html You must not have looked very hard. That was on the first page of results after a half dozen or so irrelevant (to the topic) "age of consent" laws.

[@katymvt]

You may not be able to finalize the divorce, but nobody can require the couple to continue to live together. And, then he could fight for custody, and maybe even win since she's so crazy.

[@scifugitive2]

You don't technically have to get divorced to split up. They wouldn't live in the same house, he would still help with baby bills but have nothing to do with her. After the baby is born, bam... divorce.

[@Dairo512]

katymvt Technically no, but that whole "child support and alimony" bit is basically legal punishment for breaking off a marriage, and moreso for one involving a child. Granted, there are cases where men manage to win against the courts, and cases where women suffer unjustly, but both are extremely rare cases. Typically, a father trying to leave while remaining above the law will suffer greatly for doing so. So, in light of the course of action resulting in punishment ordained by a court which must be adhered to under penalty of imprisonment, I think it's fair to argue that it can be considered illegal to get a divorce if you are going to have a child, if you're a man.
