The book also gives more details about how Nick used to make jokes about how women are disposable when they get older and Amy would laugh because she wanted to please him, as well as watch what he likes, eat what he likes and stay thin etc.. She created a person that doesn't exist just to please him and yet she was exchanged for a younger girl. But Amy would never accept being disposable lol (Nick's father also has a big role, since he was VERY misogynist, and in the book Nick talks about how he spent his whole life trying to be different from that mentality, but even so, the presence of his father greatly influenced his way of thinking/acting)
@@denissemartinez9071 I recommend the book! It’s so much more mythological & sinister, plus you understand why Nick stayed at the end much more than the movie. There were scenes in the book that cemented their mutual attraction for each other.
Yeah the book kind of explains better how & why Nick feels so trapped at the end - not to mention, I think he respects Amy's intelligence much more & how dangerous she is, & also wants to be/do better than his father... She beat herself up to make it look like she was an abused wife to anyone she saw, to disguise who she was, & to have an excuse for wearing sunglasses to further disguise who she was - since she's kind of famous. It is his kid. She got pregnant through the sample from the fertility clinic. What the book & the movie is best at illustrating, is how easy it could be to fool cops & the justice system, or take advantage of it/them, & how easy it could be to frame someone.
It is his kid. The fertility clinic contacted them and said they would destroy his sample ~if~ he or his wife didn’t claim it. She claims it so that she has an ace up her sleeve for later. When she realizes that Nick’s going to leave her for good, she artificially inseminates herself. Knowing how insane she is and how she meticulously punishes people who she feels don’t live up to her standards or wrong her in some way, you can imagine the way she would treat the child, especially as a punishment for Nick leaving her. Therefore Nick is trapped into staying with her. As someone who read the book beforehand, this movie was a blast to watch in a packed theater!
Yeah, while they were reacting I knew she was going to be pregnant but forgot that Nick refused to sleep with Amy after she got back. They reminded me when they mentioned the fertility clinic.
Jesus, someone who actually admits how insane Amy is without grasping for every possible straw that even hints at Nick somehow being as evil as her??? You’re a real sight for sore eyes. These comments are insane.
That “cool girl” monologue really pulls it all forward. Not only did she have to create a false persona for him, but he also started to show his true colors after they got married. Neither were real with eachother. Him cheating was what made Amy show how psychotic she really was- the last straw in a damaged person. Such a great movie, scary and unpredictable.
@@Vincent-fy6dn For sure would not justify her framing him nor her murdering someone nor her false allegations of SA. Merely discussing how the monologue itself is relatable to many women in their younger relationships. Many young women fail to realize that the “cool girl” persona was and will always be a trap society’s expectations will set for them
@@Vincent-fy6dn don't see how this of all statements is justifying, it's just analysis. its about how relatable the monologue itself is, what she said is a reality for a lot of normal people, it just happened to be said by, and was the catalyst for a psychopathic evil character Look at fincher's other movie, Fight Club, tons of people resonate with tyler durden's monologues because they can relate to it, but that also came from an evil psychopathic character that certain idiots also like to worship
@@Vincent-fy6dnthere's nothing Nick could have done to deserve that. Even IF he beat her, and fucked 100 women. Beating her would put him in prison, but not warrant a death sentence. I haven't read the book, but we are talking about the movie. People complain about movies not matching up with the books, but you have to realize that books and movies are two different things. And, by all accounts he just cheated on her. I'm not saying that wasn't a bull shit move
2 reasons why she hit herself with a hammer. 1)Because it helps to disguise her face as its more swollen and puffy. and 2)because once police find her body it would be used as evidence as Nick being abusive.
Nick is the one who always wanted a kid. Amy didn’t - the diary was a lie. She knew getting pregnant would trap him into staying because he could never leave his child with that psycho, and it worked.
The book explains how Nick hated her but loved her more than he hated her and he couldn’t imagine his life without her, even after she killed Desi. They both are sick.
Hate is so close to love they're often impossible to tell apart. Their connection is CARING. You have to REALLY REALLY care about something to hate it, or love it. Intensity. Passion. You can't hate something halfway, you're all in. Otherwise it's just dislike or preference. But the hate it takes to hurt other people, that's very similar to love. Because if you don't care, you can't love or hate. The opposite of love is indifference. Not caring at all.
i love the ending of the film but the book ending is flawless to me. the book ends with her almost ready to give birth, and she's narrating how wonderful he's been throughout her pregnancy - treating her like a queen: "This morning he was stroking my hair and asking what else he could do for me, and I said: 'My gosh, Nick, why are you so wonderful to me?' He was supposed to say: You deserve it. I love you. But he said, 'Because I feel sorry for you.' 'Why?' 'Because every morning you have to wake up and be you.' I really, truly wish he hadn't said that. I keep thinking about it. I can't stop. I don't have anything else to add. I just wanted to make sure I had the last word. I think I've earned that." Gillian Flynn is freaking brilliant.
@@MarieTheOstrich not really, of course Amy is but it seems that she manipulated him I mean obviously she did she's a psychopath and made him think that he's happy but he truly isn't, if he still ends up with her at the end of the book that's the worst ending and I'm not gonna read it cause it'll make me even more furious and sad for him
It is his kid! Also I think the one flaw of the movie that Gillian Flynn couldn’t translate from the book to screen is the pull Nick feels to Amy. They’re twisted in the same way and attracted to the same game, it’s why they play throughout the movie! Gillian Flynn adapted the book herself and wrote the script and it’s just one of my favorite book to movies.
Reading the book was even better. I spent the first part of the book hating him, the second part of the book hating her and the ending hating then both. Very unsatisfying ending but so brilliantly unexpected and well written. The movie did a good job portraying the book.
One of my favorite contexts for how she felt about her marriage was in her monologue about how she had to be “the cool girl” for Nick for so long. Not all, but MOST women have had to play the “cool girl” trope to fit a lot of men’s impossible standards of the perfect woman(like have perfectly groomed model bodies/stay a size 2 while also loving pizza/beer and sports or raunchy comedy movies or never being disagreeable). While some women to can be like that, it’s rare to find and women are pressured to always be compliant to everything a guy wants just so that he keeps interest or to seem more attractive. She also talks about how he also put on a front for her in the beginning of their relationship of a career-driven, tender man, and when he started to get lazy or uninterested in the relationship she would start to resent him. It’s all about how people eventually show their true colors and the lengths some people will go through to keep a marriage going.
@@sarahsarahsarah9093 there's this tendency among male reactors where they always skip the cool girl monologue... guess someone is feeling called out....
@@malena6539 SebScreen didn‘t! His reaction to Gone Girl was really pleasant because he wasn’t just on Nicks side going „damn this chick crazy“. He also appreciated Amy‘s Monologe.
I love how you mentioned impossible standards, while mentioning things that women can change. Flip the script and women expect men to be stoic, sensitive, strong, tall, packing, successful and charasmatic. Why do you act like it's more standards put on women when that is blatantly wrong and this double standard is a big reason for the neglect of male mental issues and domestic issues are never taken serious when it's men. I even got threatened by my ex that she would call the police on me when I said I wanted to leave her cause she was abusive. Women constantly talk about male standards when it comes to weight and both women and men should be expected to stay healthy for themselves and their families. Women talk down on traits that men can not control like the size of genitals and height, but on the same breath hate it when some men do not want to date a woman that does not take care of herself. One is genetics other is laziness and the difference is that misandry is encouraged in society, while the opposite is not. But hey I guess who cares about the other half. Not like we face problems ourselves and are expected to cater to others while being bashed and abused.
I'm pretty sure it is his kid. Remember he went to the fertility clinic and than said to his sister that Amy "didn't do her part"? How would he know? He had no idea what Amy was doing in the two years they were living there and she had been planning this for many months. How would he know what she was up to? I absolutely love the book and this movie is a great adaptation. The best part is that not a single character is likable in the book but you are still invested and want to know how it's playing out
I love how there is no real 'good guy' in this movie. We are made to believe that she made his abuse up but him pushing her against the wall is a clue to him actually being aggressive. They are both bad in their own way. They both deserve each other
I didn't take that as a sign of someone abusive. That was the most normal and human reaction in this whole film, it's the bare minimum reaction anyone would have in this scenario. I mean after what she just tried to do, and is continuing to do to him.
Yeah, it's made very clear in the book that he had a temper and took more after his Dad than he liked to think he did. It makes a lot more of how little he actually liked women and his tendency to look for women to look after him not love.
I remember reading this book as a teenager and when I got to the reveal that Amy is still alive, I jumped out of bed and ran out of my room just looking for someone to talk to about WTF I was experiencing reading this book 😂 amazing movie too
The way they all looked at each other after he slammed her against the wall at the end. Lmao then Bryce's "are you turned on rn?" I'm dead. One of my fave reactions. Haha
I read the book when it first came out. I literally threw the book across the room when he decided to stay with her. The author is really good at these double twists where you get one big reveal about halfway through, then a last minute reveal that kind of shakes you to your core
I LOVE when an author isn’t afraid to go bold with their characters and plots. Give me a book/movie where all the characters are terrible and the ending makes me rage any day!!
Nick isn't a killer but he is toxic, look at his behaviour before he realises what Amy has done, he doesn't act worried or concerned or even that bothered that she might be dead and when Amy says the bit about him only liking himself when he was trying to impress her, it seemed like he knew that it was partially true. 🤷🤔 I always got the sense that some screwed up part of nick, sort of , wanted to stay with her, in a f'd up way.
He would have been OK with her being kidnapped, it solved so many of his problems. It was being accused of the kidnapping that was the problem for him.
it is his child which is awful because he’s stuck with her forever, like they’re connected through a child for the rest of their lives. even if they get divorce, they still have a child together.
the scene with the dad is important because it illustrates two things; the way his father talks abt women and how that may have influenced the way nick is and nick tendency to lose his temper. all of the scenes are important tbh definitely worth multiple watches this is one of my fav movies
@@avish878 I do believe that misandry is the trauma response for the horrible shit men do. Mysoginy on the other hand is hating women for no reason whatsoever.
Enjoyed this reaction. I agree that Nick wanted to stay and I think it’s important to recognize that about Nick’s character. Bc if we’re talking “manipulation”, Nick manipulates the women around him and tells them only what they want to hear to get his needs met. That’s pretty “crazy” behavior too.
isn't that everybody tho? I mean people will tell other people the things they want to hear to get what they want, weather that's money or sex doesn't matter, at the end of the day its consensual, people have brains to think for themselves. what's baffling is that you're defending an actual murderer and psychopath before a person that got wrongfully accused for murder and abuse, what's going inside your head???
Such a masterpiece. One of my favorite moments is the "cool girl" monologue. And how nuanced the movie is. For example, you're led to believe that he never pushed her or touched her, then that moment in the end when he slams her into the wall was a big "Omg I don't even know what to believe". And then you truly realize they they're both bad. She sacrificed everything she had for him, and he was aggressive and a cheater. And she was a psychopath.
"She sacrificed everything she had for him" Like? Seems he rescued her from her own hell in Amazing Amy's shadow. Not even her parents wanted HER, even they were solely in love with what she COULD have been in their eyes.
Like her whole life in New York. Job, friends. To go live in the middle of nowhere with no one she knew. Leaving her “shadow” to go live in the middle of nowhere where all her money was used for a bar that he just goes to drink in, then she comes home and he’s just playing video games all day isnt much of a rescue.
The scene with his dad at the police station, 1) demonstrated that Nick was influenced by a father figure who was temperamental and an asshole, therefore giving context to how some of that probably rubbed off on Nick, and 2) added to what the plot was doing at the time, which was make you (and the detectives) wonder whether Nick could be guilty. He was so apathetic in regards to police efforts in finding his missing wife, yet quite passionately yelling at the cops for not letting him know they had his dad in custody. So it’s not just a personality thing that he was acting so passive, it looked more like he genuinely was not that concerned that his wife was missing.
I think 'kill Des and go back to Nick' was actually plan C, after plan B backfired because it delivered her to an even bigger psycho than her and put her in the most danger at that point.
I love watching you all react to these kinds of movies because it's fun to relive the sheer confusion and trying to piece everything together like I was while watching it at first. If she's pregnant it's bc she had sex with her stalker and she's passing it off as Nick's (this is incorrect many of you clarified it for me and I appreciate those who did so without being all knowing assholes) Amy is BONKERS. The way everyone acted their asses off in this movie! Too good!!
The ending is really wild because I can (kinda) understand them staying together. That’s just too toooo much history. And even knowing the truth as Nick how can u move on with life after knowing your wife is such a sociopath. They’re gonna keep their baggage deep within their marriage until death just like many other married couples irl. Creepy and eerie but an effective end.
Part of him liked how much she was willing to do to be with him. A magnified version of what she had always done to stay with him. His ego ate that shit up. All she wanted was his acknowledgement of how much she was doing for him. They are both as fucked up as each other.
The first minute of this video was absolutely hilarious, the first name mix up was funny but the second one I could not stop laughing. Love your channel!
I'm so late but I just wanna point out we don't actually know if all the abuse she wrote about before disappearing was fake. He is very much capable and we saw it at the end.
Every person is capable. Look at ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the abuse Amy perpetrated against tons of people. It's a HUMAN problem, so the only way to not be capable of it is to lose your humanity. YOU can be hitler like anyone else.
We do know. She explicitly says it's made up during her monologue. And it's made clear in the book as well. Nick wasn't a good guy. He's a cheater & a misogynist, but he wasn't physically abusing Amy.
@@MarieLautner i meant more psychological/verbal abuse but still she says the things she MENTIONED were things he didn’t do, he could have done others? Again i did mean more psycho/verbal. However, have never read the book and i’m talking from the movie’s perspective only. If in the book is made more clear that he never truly abused her in any way i take your word from it. But i do think thats a good thing the movie leaves you with, you never REALLY know all the damage he actually did and what she created. It leaves you with 2 unreliable narrators and knowing how both of them aren’t good people, you don’t know how much of what they each say is a lie or to what extent there’s truth behind it. Makes for a good thriller, i would say if the book was more clear on how he didn’t abuse her that’s an L on the book.
I mean I’m a woman and I can admit she’s insane lmao it’s not supposed to be an empowering film for women considering she’s psychopathic. it’s interesting in terms of how it analyzes human psychology but it’s not exactly a feminist message
@@JazMegan But I bet you won’t bat an eye at people saying the Joker or Darth Vader are icons ? Of course not. It’s only bad when female villains are liked. Sexist hypocrisy.
@@frfras7 But I bet you won’t bat an eye at people saying the Joker or Darth Vader are icons ? Of course not. It’s only bad when female villains are liked. Sexist hypocrisy.
the book (and the movie by extension) was inspired by the laci and scott peterson case which is super interesting, I absolutely love this movie and I think everybody acted their asses off
Gone Girl is in my top 5 films of the decade. It should have won Best Picture. The entire cast was superb. Rosamund Pike was nominated Best Actress and should have won. I also think Ben Affleck deserved a nomination. EDIT: The big reveal at the halfway point is low-key one of the best of a major Hollywood film in years.
Whats even more crazy to me is that in the end it does seems Nick WANT TO STAY with her. Seems like though he is scared and worried, but somehow he felt excited and stay curious about her next move - i think this is what he meant by wanting to crack her head open.
The author of this book, Gillian Flynn, is a woman who writes stories about fucked up women. Her 3 main novels have insanely flawed, fucked-up characters. I love them haha
I read the book before the movie came out so I luckily didn't know any spoilers. When the chapters switch from Nick to Amy, current day, I was blown away. It's sooo good! 🤩
his dad part in police station is a necessary part. They wanted to show the police about how hot-tempered Nick is. Making people to believe he's the bad guy.
Moral of the story: Don't write a series of children's books based on your own daughter in which the real life version comes out looking like a total underachiever.
So, this story, to me, is an extreme of the adage that marriage is built on a series of lies between two people. That you lie when the wife asks if she looks fat or of you fantasize about other women, and you lie when the husband asks if he still satisfies you in bed or if your number is really under 10. And sometimes it’s not a lie but total truth always would break something. Except these two people- her AND HIM- were both so messed up, and the lie of who they were was better than the reality…but they both knew they were shitty people (though granted, she is legit a psycho). He was also a bad guy though. A cheater, a bum, a mooch, prone to physical violence, etc. yeah…the book showed how they were even more F’d up, and also made it clearer that he WANTED to stay with Amy.
I think the whole point is to make the audience question if things did or did not happen. We know that Amy lied about aspects in the diary, but there is also truth to other situations confirmed by both Amy and Nick. Did he actually push her? Maybe maybe not
I loved the book and I did feel the movie did a decent job. People always like to believe someone is going to “complete” them. Thanks McGuire. When it reality, marriage can bring out the worst in you
"I'm crushed right now." That's why I love this movie. The twist is brilliant, but the fact that the end can be so devastating with only one death in the entire film is just spectacular. I fucking love this movie.
Sociopath meets Narcissist. 'Why did God create so many different personalities and ways of thinking and living? God Loves stories. If we were all the same, there would only be one story' - Paraphrasing Elie Wiesel
In regards to the "cool girl" monologue I feel like a lot of ppls are missing the point, regardless if it justifies or not her actions, the monologue serves as exposition of character motivation (bc you need that to propel any action taken by a character in a story), and outside of this very specific situation, it's also an exposition of the circumstances of many women irl and how frustrating that is. Nobody is saying that cheating and emotional mistreatment is justification for murder, but in the context of the film, it explains to the audience why the female protagonist embarked on this journey and her train of thought behind it
Loved your reactions to this movie!! I read the book when it was first published, in which the author explains about both their personalities. Very creepy and suspenseful movie.
This movie is kind of a dark satirical take on marriages in general, how couples will stay together to keep up appearances, despite all the skeletons they may have, with this movie taking that to the extreme.
Your reaction is priceless. I love Gone Girl. I like the ending. Amy is so good. she's smart. the child is really his (from the clinic they talked about) in the end, Nick really does want to stay with Amy. except for the child situation, he likes himself when he's with her. he wants to have children with her. In fact, he does love Amy even though he actually cheats on her. Amy loves Nick but like she said Nick got lazy (and dumb). he expected her to love him unconditionally, and then he cheated on her and broke. Another thing is Nick has dad issues. his dad cheated on his mom and was a terrible dad but Nick did the same thing so I think he kind of craves a happy family + Amy's moves are so perfect so all of these make him stay with Amy.
Another potential part of why he stays with her is the case is national news and it would make him look awful to the public if he left her after being “kidnapped.” Even if he tried to convince the public she faked everything, they certainly would not believe it and there is not proof. Amy is also a somewhat beloved public figure where people feel connected to her because of the books her parents wrote based on her childhood
I've never hated a movie ending more in my entire life!!! I do not believe for one second that he couldn't have at least tried to go to the cops with all of his evidence. The lady detective was already suspicious of Amy's story. I watched the movie before reading the book, and the director, David Fincher is one of my favourite directors so I was just so unbelievably disappointed when the movie ended. The baby is Nick's, he says earlier in the movie that he gave the fertility clinic his sperm, and I'm pretty sure she says she went to the fertility clinic when she gives him the pregnancy test.
Sometimes a (repeating) theme/shot/feeling/situation doesn't really mean anything, it's just used for story "framing" beginning, and then end. This, then that. Before, then after. Like the dark early morning dawn take/put-out-the-garbage scenes in this movie. Life is the same, life goes on. It's a good tool for writers and directors, and it also works on/for audience/viewers, whether we realize it or not.
The cameras at Desi's place were only on the outside, there weren't any inside the house. That's how she's getting away with it. And him escorting her in the first time could be explained by her complying out of fear for her life
Regarding the abuse the audience was meant to question if Nick did or did not push her. Going off of the diary we know that there is truthful and made up situations confirmed by them both. The woman who robs Amy also makes a comment saying she doesn’t think Amy had never been hit. In the end Amy tells Nick that she wants him to say he abused her in order to for people to believe her stories.
He also said he never “hit her”. He didn’t necessarily hit her in that scene, he pushed her. He also pushed her with full force against the wall and she wasn’t even surprised that he did that.
It is his kid. The book gives more details but, she froze his sample from the fertility clinic and then used it when she got back. It's his kid and he's trapped
The best part to this reaction is the “Peter Dacre Taylor” statement. If anything says dad move, it is when they make up names to celebrities that don’t exist 😂 In all seriousness, this is one of my favorite films. Ben’s character almost purposely comes off as stale and careless in the beginning to only lead to proving he is pulling off a facade.
Not almost. He *WAS* cast for being, famously, unlikeable. It has been said that Ben Affleck has a kind of "Anticharisma", which is not the opposite of being charismatic, but like having a "dislikeable kind of almost charm". The novel describes Nick as looking pretty and smug in a 1980's comedy villain kind of way (they compare him to the annoying city official in Ghost Busters and to those guys who never get the girl on romantic comedy). When they announced the adaptation, *EVERYBODY* thought Ben Affleck was the living embodiment of that character. Lol
It's Nick's kid.... in the book explained how Amy pregnant with Nick's kid without 1ntercourse...she's crazy but genius and Nick stays bc he loves Amy...he loves Amy bc she's crazy and he won't be happy with a normal girl
First time I watched it I hated the ending but I've come to love it because it just makes perfect sense. And I love a story where the bad guy wins. It's his kid. It's 100% his kid. She didn't destroy his semen at the fertility. She trapped him.
This is the book that got me started on bookstagram. Great movie pick. In the book she also ate excessively to fatten herself up as part of her disguise

He was supposed to say: You deserve it. I love you.
But he said, 'Because I feel sorry for you.'
'Why?'
'Because every morning you have to wake up and be you.'
I really, truly wish he hadn't said that. I keep thinking about it. I can't stop.
I don't have anything else to add. I just wanted to make sure I had the last word. I think I've earned that."
Gillian Flynn is freaking brilliant.
woah, they both are super twisted
Whoa…. I gotta read this.
@@MarieTheOstrich not really, of course Amy is but it seems that she manipulated him I mean obviously she did she's a psychopath and made him think that he's happy but he truly isn't, if he still ends up with her at the end of the book that's the worst ending and I'm not gonna read it cause it'll make me even more furious and sad for him
Wow, nick really had that last punch in the book
@@mozaahmed6319 lol he’s not a sorry victim. They are both twisted and wronged the other and they both hate yet love eachother. The book is amazing
It is his kid! Also I think the one flaw of the movie that Gillian Flynn couldn’t translate from the book to screen is the pull Nick feels to Amy. They’re twisted in the same way and attracted to the same game, it’s why they play throughout the movie! Gillian Flynn adapted the book herself and wrote the script and it’s just one of my favorite book to movies.
Maybe the script isnt clear on that but the direction and acting is, you can understand why he stills wants to be with her
Reading the book was even better. I spent the first part of the book hating him, the second part of the book hating her and the ending hating then both. Very unsatisfying ending but so brilliantly unexpected and well written. The movie did a good job portraying the book.
One of my favorite contexts for how she felt about her marriage was in her monologue about how she had to be “the cool girl” for Nick for so long. Not all, but MOST women have had to play the “cool girl” trope to fit a lot of men’s impossible standards of the perfect woman(like have perfectly groomed model bodies/stay a size 2 while also loving pizza/beer and sports or raunchy comedy movies or never being disagreeable). While some women to can be like that, it’s rare to find and women are pressured to always be compliant to everything a guy wants just so that he keeps interest or to seem more attractive. She also talks about how he also put on a front for her in the beginning of their relationship of a career-driven, tender man, and when he started to get lazy or uninterested in the relationship she would start to resent him. It’s all about how people eventually show their true colors and the lengths some people will go through to keep a marriage going.
Absolutely. The "cool girl" monologue is iconic and one of my favourite things in film.
@@CezzL Same! I really wanted to see them react to it!
@@sarahsarahsarah9093 there's this tendency among male reactors where they always skip the cool girl monologue... guess someone is feeling called out....
@@malena6539 SebScreen didn‘t! His reaction to Gone Girl was really pleasant because he wasn’t just on Nicks side going „damn this chick crazy“. He also appreciated Amy‘s Monologe.
I love how you mentioned impossible standards, while mentioning things that women can change. Flip the script and women expect men to be stoic, sensitive, strong, tall, packing, successful and charasmatic. Why do you act like it's more standards put on women when that is blatantly wrong and this double standard is a big reason for the neglect of male mental issues and domestic issues are never taken serious when it's men. I even got threatened by my ex that she would call the police on me when I said I wanted to leave her cause she was abusive. Women constantly talk about male standards when it comes to weight and both women and men should be expected to stay healthy for themselves and their families. Women talk down on traits that men can not control like the size of genitals and height, but on the same breath hate it when some men do not want to date a woman that does not take care of herself. One is genetics other is laziness and the difference is that misandry is encouraged in society, while the opposite is not. But hey I guess who cares about the other half. Not like we face problems ourselves and are expected to cater to others while being bashed and abused.
I'm pretty sure it is his kid. Remember he went to the fertility clinic and than said to his sister that Amy "didn't do her part"? How would he know? He had no idea what Amy was doing in the two years they were living there and she had been planning this for many months. How would he know what she was up to?
I absolutely love the book and this movie is a great adaptation. The best part is that not a single character is likable in the book but you are still invested and want to know how it's playing out
That's exactly what I thought, she probably made sure they didn't destroy his sample as a fail-safe
"said to his sister that Amy "didn't do her part"? How would he know?"
DUH, he TRUSTED HER because she told him. Error one, believing your wife right?
I love how there is no real 'good guy' in this movie. We are made to believe that she made his abuse up but him pushing her against the wall is a clue to him actually being aggressive.
They are both bad in their own way. They both deserve each other
No, that’s the reaction of the victim of a psychopathic narcissist.
@@di3486 no, In the book he definitely wasn’t shit either
@@di3486 they’re both narcissists. And you could argue nick is also psychopathic because he doesn’t have empathy.
I didn't take that as a sign of someone abusive. That was the most normal and human reaction in this whole film, it's the bare minimum reaction anyone would have in this scenario. I mean after what she just tried to do, and is continuing to do to him.
Yeah, it's made very clear in the book that he had a temper and took more after his Dad than he liked to think he did. It makes a lot more of how little he actually liked women and his tendency to look for women to look after him not love.
I remember reading this book as a teenager and when I got to the reveal that Amy is still alive, I jumped out of bed and ran out of my room just looking for someone to talk to about WTF I was experiencing reading this book 😂 amazing movie too
The way they all looked at each other after he slammed her against the wall at the end. Lmao then Bryce's "are you turned on rn?"
I'm dead. One of my fave reactions. Haha
I read the book when it first came out. I literally threw the book across the room when he decided to stay with her. The author is really good at these double twists where you get one big reveal about halfway through, then a last minute reveal that kind of shakes you to your core
I LOVE when an author isn’t afraid to go bold with their characters and plots. Give me a book/movie where all the characters are terrible and the ending makes me rage any day!!
@@sarahsarahsarah9093 oh I completely agree. I just was pointing out how well she reached that level of rage within me
@@dancer004 I assumed you meant it in a positive way lol
Just started to watch and Zuff is already killing me. Peter Dackery Taylor is taking me out lmfaoo
Loved this reaction! You guys should check out The Girl on the Train. Great movie, similar vibe but you’re kept guessing for a while. It’s great.
idk about anyone else watching this reaction, but my "WHAAAT😕??" was in precise sync with the other 2 guys @ this comment!
🤣 glad I wasn't alone! lol.
Nick isn't a killer but he is toxic, look at his behaviour before he realises what Amy has done, he doesn't act worried or concerned or even that bothered that she might be dead and when Amy says the bit about him only liking himself when he was trying to impress her, it seemed like he knew that it was partially true. 🤷🤔 I always got the sense that some screwed up part of nick, sort of , wanted to stay with her, in a f'd up way.
He would have been OK with her being kidnapped, it solved so many of his problems. It was being accused of the kidnapping that was the problem for him.
I'm forever going to refer to Neil Patrick Harris as Peter Daquiri Taylor
it is his child which is awful because he’s stuck with her forever, like they’re connected through a child for the rest of their lives.
even if they get divorce, they still have a child together.
the scene with the dad is important because it illustrates two things; the way his father talks abt women and how that may have influenced the way nick is and nick tendency to lose his temper. all of the scenes are important tbh definitely worth multiple watches this is one of my fav movies
One of my favourite movies! I love her (as a character) and I will not apologize.
same, girls that get it, get it.
Ok misandrist.
@@avish878 learn what that word means before you use it
@@HomoErected looks like you don't know the meaning of the word lol
@@avish878 I do believe that misandry is the trauma response for the horrible shit men do. Mysoginy on the other hand is hating women for no reason whatsoever.
Enjoyed this reaction. I agree that Nick wanted to stay and I think it’s important to recognize that about Nick’s character. Bc if we’re talking “manipulation”, Nick manipulates the women around him and tells them only what they want to hear to get his needs met. That’s pretty “crazy” behavior too.
now now, let's not equate manipulating women around him crazy to framing your own murder and kidnapping and rape and then committing murder crazy
isn't that everybody tho? I mean people will tell other people the things they want to hear to get what they want, weather that's money or sex doesn't matter, at the end of the day its consensual, people have brains to think for themselves. what's baffling is that you're defending an actual murderer and psychopath before a person that got wrongfully accused for murder and abuse, what's going inside your head???
disagree
i think he was TERRIFIED to leave Tanner: "just don't piss her off" - so he convinced himself he wanted to (or felt a duty to - for the kid)
@@mozaahmed6319you completely missed the point of this movie.
Lmfao you’re actually insane.
Such a masterpiece. One of my favorite moments is the "cool girl" monologue. And how nuanced the movie is. For example, you're led to believe that he never pushed her or touched her, then that moment in the end when he slams her into the wall was a big "Omg I don't even know what to believe". And then you truly realize they they're both bad. She sacrificed everything she had for him, and he was aggressive and a cheater. And she was a psychopath.
"She sacrificed everything she had for him"
Like? Seems he rescued her from her own hell in Amazing Amy's shadow. Not even her parents wanted HER, even they were solely in love with what she COULD have been in their eyes.
Like her whole life in New York. Job, friends. To go live in the middle of nowhere with no one she knew. Leaving her “shadow” to go live in the middle of nowhere where all her money was used for a bar that he just goes to drink in, then she comes home and he’s just playing video games all day isnt much of a rescue.
that's the beauty of gone girl. amazing film. stunning plot. evil winning. ugh! iconique
The scene with his dad at the police station,
1) demonstrated that Nick was influenced by a father figure who was temperamental and an asshole, therefore giving context to how some of that probably rubbed off on Nick, and
2) added to what the plot was doing at the time, which was make you (and the detectives) wonder whether Nick could be guilty. He was so apathetic in regards to police efforts in finding his missing wife, yet quite passionately yelling at the cops for not letting him know they had his dad in custody. So it’s not just a personality thing that he was acting so passive, it looked more like he genuinely was not that concerned that his wife was missing.
Glad to see someone is back from their modeling career tour...
She originally didn't have a Plan B. She improvised and made the best of her situation to devise a new plan later on.
I think 'kill Des and go back to Nick' was actually plan C, after plan B backfired because it delivered her to an even bigger psycho than her and put her in the most danger at that point.
I love watching you all react to these kinds of movies because it's fun to relive the sheer confusion and trying to piece everything together like I was while watching it at first. If she's pregnant it's bc she had sex with her stalker and she's passing it off as Nick's
(this is incorrect many of you clarified it for me and I appreciate those who did so without being all knowing assholes) Amy is BONKERS. The way everyone acted their asses off in this movie! Too good!!
In the book it talks about how the guy who raped her can’t have kids at all & she used Nick’s frozen sperm to get pregnant
@@eerroottaa thank you I completely missed that
??? Wrong, she used his semen sample from the fertility clinic . They literally said it. It is Nick’s kid.
The ending is really wild because I can (kinda) understand them staying together. That’s just too toooo much history. And even knowing the truth as Nick how can u move on with life after knowing your wife is such a sociopath. They’re gonna keep their baggage deep within their marriage until death just like many other married couples irl. Creepy and eerie but an effective end.
Part of him liked how much she was willing to do to be with him. A magnified version of what she had always done to stay with him. His ego ate that shit up. All she wanted was his acknowledgement of how much she was doing for him. They are both as fucked up as each other.
Remember that she had his *sample* from when they were trying to have a baby before. It is - unfortunately - his kid.
The first minute of this video was absolutely hilarious, the first name mix up was funny but the second one I could not stop laughing. Love your channel!
I'm so late but I just wanna point out we don't actually know if all the abuse she wrote about before disappearing was fake. He is very much capable and we saw it at the end.
Every person is capable. Look at ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the abuse Amy perpetrated against tons of people.
It's a HUMAN problem, so the only way to not be capable of it is to lose your humanity. YOU can be hitler like anyone else.
We do know. She explicitly says it's made up during her monologue. And it's made clear in the book as well. Nick wasn't a good guy. He's a cheater & a misogynist, but he wasn't physically abusing Amy.
@@MarieLautner i meant more psychological/verbal abuse but still she says the things she MENTIONED were things he didn’t do, he could have done others? Again i did mean more psycho/verbal. However, have never read the book and i’m talking from the movie’s perspective only. If in the book is made more clear that he never truly abused her in any way i take your word from it. But i do think thats a good thing the movie leaves you with, you never REALLY know all the damage he actually did and what she created. It leaves you with 2 unreliable narrators and knowing how both of them aren’t good people, you don’t know how much of what they each say is a lie or to what extent there’s truth behind it. Makes for a good thriller, i would say if the book was more clear on how he didn’t abuse her that’s an L on the book.
I love watching straight men get angry watching Gone Girl, it’s so satisfying.
I mean I’m a woman and I can admit she’s insane lmao it’s not supposed to be an empowering film for women considering she’s psychopathic. it’s interesting in terms of how it analyzes human psychology but it’s not exactly a feminist message
Lol I loved this reaction. You guys did great! The guy in the grey is hilarious. When he called Nick “the worst” i actually laughed out loud 😭😭
Amy Dunn is an icon. I’m glad you guys enjoyed the movie.
No she’s not 😂
@@JazMegan shut up dishwasher
@@JazMegan I think she meant it as an iconic villain.
@@JazMegan But I bet you won’t bat an eye at people saying the Joker or Darth Vader are icons ? Of course not. It’s only bad when female villains are liked. Sexist hypocrisy.
@@frfras7 But I bet you won’t bat an eye at people saying the Joker or Darth Vader are icons ? Of course not. It’s only bad when female villains are liked. Sexist hypocrisy.
the book (and the movie by extension) was inspired by the laci and scott peterson case which is super interesting, I absolutely love this movie and I think everybody acted their asses off
Ah yes Gone Girl, my favorite Peter Daiquiri Taylor movie 😂
Gone Girl is in my top 5 films of the decade. It should have won Best Picture. The entire cast was superb. Rosamund Pike was nominated Best Actress and should have won. I also think Ben Affleck deserved a nomination. EDIT: The big reveal at the halfway point is low-key one of the best of a major Hollywood film in years.
Nah, Affleck was very wodden.... Agree about Rosamund
Rosamund Pike is an AMAZING actress
She actually is 😂. Having seen Pride and Prejudice afterwards, I couldn’t take her seriously; I expected her to switch at any moment 😂😂😭🥰.
Whats even more crazy to me is that in the end it does seems Nick WANT TO STAY with her. Seems like though he is scared and worried, but somehow he felt excited and stay curious about her next move - i think this is what he meant by wanting to crack her head open.
ah yes my favorite actors, Ryan Afleck and Peter Dakari Taylor
Gone girl is the joker for women
Fem joker arc
Where’s the lie??
Joker is the Gone Girl for men 😌 og first
@@frfras7 not the incel himself talking about "femcels" lol get educated
@@frfras7 cry lol
Nick is the father of the baby. She used Nick’s sample that was on file at the fertility clinic.
Rosamund Pike should've won the Oscar for this film!
The author of this book, Gillian Flynn, is a woman who writes stories about fucked up women. Her 3 main novels have insanely flawed, fucked-up characters. I love them haha
Good luck watching Rosalind Pike in anything ever again without seeing her as Amy. Crazy freaking Amy
Straight facts 😂😂😂
@1:02:37 pretty sure I saw or read somewhere that Ben really did slam her against the wall hard and accidentally gave Rosamund Pike a concussion.
Yall really didn’t get the movie 😂
I read the book before the movie came out so I luckily didn't know any spoilers. When the chapters switch from Nick to Amy, current day, I was blown away. It's sooo good! 🤩
she did what she had to do 😌
had to be said
The jaws dropping when she slashes that guy's throat ... every time ! :)
his dad part in police station is a necessary part. They wanted to show the police about how hot-tempered Nick is. Making people to believe he's the bad guy.
Moral of the story: Don't write a series of children's books based on your own daughter in which the real life version comes out looking like a total underachiever.
it should have been obvious but i guess some people need a movie to learn from smh
He stays with her because at the end of the day they're attracted to each other like he said, i think in the books is explain better
So, this story, to me, is an extreme of the adage that marriage is built on a series of lies between two people. That you lie when the wife asks if she looks fat or of you fantasize about other women, and you lie when the husband asks if he still satisfies you in bed or if your number is really under 10. And sometimes it’s not a lie but total truth always would break something. Except these two people- her AND HIM- were both so messed up, and the lie of who they were was better than the reality…but they both knew they were shitty people (though granted, she is legit a psycho). He was also a bad guy though. A cheater, a bum, a mooch, prone to physical violence, etc. yeah…the book showed how they were even more F’d up, and also made it clearer that he WANTED to stay with Amy.
Yeah theyre both awful and deserve each other
she wrote the whole diary while planning the murder but she didn’t invent the part about him pushing her…he did actually do that
I think the whole point is to make the audience question if things did or did not happen. We know that Amy lied about aspects in the diary, but there is also truth to other situations confirmed by both Amy and Nick. Did he actually push her? Maybe maybe not
@@yoleanna It was supposed to be a clear thing that happened, but Affleck didn't want to be seen in that way so they made it a bit ambiguous.
Great acting. Great delivery. Great writing. Great storyline. 💗💗💗
Zen with the right predictions. Props bro!
Also, you guys missed when Nick said about going to a fertility clinic. THATS where she got the sperm.
loved this one!! i’m a huge amy apologist and can confirm she is just as crazy in the book
Rosamund Pike was amazing in this movie and Ben Affleck was really good
Peter Daiquiri Taylor...I'm dead. 🤣
The kid is Nicks, he had his sperm frozen and she used it without him knowing after coming back.
lol Zach 😂 Dude you put a smile on my face just about every time I watch these
I think you guys should watch Girl on the Train and A Simple Favor; similar mystery type movie. I’m interested in your reactions to those two. 😊
Somebody was yelling, "Smile!" and then he did. He's totally out of it.
LOL I love this movie I'm always finding cool new vids on your channel when I feel like they're nothing else
Amazing Amy is every straight guys worse nightmare.
I loved the book and I did feel the movie did a decent job. People always like to believe someone is going to “complete” them. Thanks McGuire. When it reality, marriage can bring out the worst in you
Hahaha I loved every single reaction you guys gave!
The one who acted Amy is brilliant actress she is so beautiful
One of my favorite movies and one of the best villains
"I'm crushed right now." That's why I love this movie. The twist is brilliant, but the fact that the end can be so devastating with only one death in the entire film is just spectacular. I fucking love this movie.
This is a crazy movie. I love both the leads and the story was chaotic AF.
Sociopath meets Narcissist. 'Why did God create so many different personalities and ways of thinking and living? God Loves stories. If we were all the same, there would only be one story' - Paraphrasing Elie Wiesel
The twist in this was so crazy!
They're made for each other. They deserve each other. Both horrible people in their own way. Lol. The end.
Edit: It's his kid. So yeah.
They’re completely different, he’s a shitty person, she’s a manipulative murderer whose tried to ruin every past and present partners life…
They are not both psychopaths.
In regards to the "cool girl" monologue
I feel like a lot of ppls are missing the point, regardless if it justifies or not her actions, the monologue serves as exposition of character motivation (bc you need that to propel any action taken by a character in a story), and outside of this very specific situation, it's also an exposition of the circumstances of many women irl and how frustrating that is. Nobody is saying that cheating and emotional mistreatment is justification for murder, but in the context of the film, it explains to the audience why the female protagonist embarked on this journey and her train of thought behind it
Loved your reactions to this movie!! I read the book when it was first published, in which the author explains about both their personalities. Very creepy and suspenseful movie.
This movie is kind of a dark satirical take on marriages in general, how couples will stay together to keep up appearances, despite all the skeletons they may have, with this movie taking that to the extreme.
"Bro, he is the worst." LMAO
Your reaction is priceless. I love Gone Girl. I like the ending. Amy is so good. she's smart.
the child is really his (from the clinic they talked about)
in the end, Nick really does want to stay with Amy. except for the child situation, he likes himself when he's with her. he wants to have children with her. In fact, he does love Amy even though he actually cheats on her. Amy loves Nick but like she said Nick got lazy (and dumb). he expected her to love him unconditionally, and then he cheated on her and broke. Another thing is Nick has dad issues. his dad cheated on his mom and was a terrible dad but Nick did the same thing so I think he kind of craves a happy family + Amy's moves are so perfect so all of these make him stay with Amy.
Another potential part of why he stays with her is the case is national news and it would make him look awful to the public if he left her after being “kidnapped.” Even if he tried to convince the public she faked everything, they certainly would not believe it and there is not proof. Amy is also a somewhat beloved public figure where people feel connected to her because of the books her parents wrote based on her childhood
Amy takes attention seeking to the extreme 😂😂😂
this was a cinema to me
I've never hated a movie ending more in my entire life!!! I do not believe for one second that he couldn't have at least tried to go to the cops with all of his evidence. The lady detective was already suspicious of Amy's story. I watched the movie before reading the book, and the director, David Fincher is one of my favourite directors so I was just so unbelievably disappointed when the movie ended.
The baby is Nick's, he says earlier in the movie that he gave the fertility clinic his sperm, and I'm pretty sure she says she went to the fertility clinic when she gives him the pregnancy test.
If you want more details read the book, it covers all the holes the movie has. Book is fantastic.
I was so excited when I got the notification!!! 💝💝💝
Sometimes a (repeating) theme/shot/feeling/situation doesn't really mean anything, it's just used for story "framing" beginning, and then end. This, then that. Before, then after. Like the dark early morning dawn take/put-out-the-garbage scenes in this movie. Life is the same, life goes on. It's a good tool for writers and directors, and it also works on/for audience/viewers, whether we realize it or not.
the fertility clinic has his stuff, bros. She can use it at any time to get preg'd
The cameras at Desi's place were only on the outside, there weren't any inside the house. That's how she's getting away with it. And him escorting her in the first time could be explained by her complying out of fear for her life
Peter Daiquiri Taylor has me ROLLLLING right now lmfao
Glad you guys liked it. 💓💓💓
Regarding the abuse the audience was meant to question if Nick did or did not push her. Going off of the diary we know that there is truthful and made up situations confirmed by them both. The woman who robs Amy also makes a comment saying she doesn’t think Amy had never been hit. In the end Amy tells Nick that she wants him to say he abused her in order to for people to believe her stories.
He also said he never “hit her”. He didn’t necessarily hit her in that scene, he pushed her. He also pushed her with full force against the wall and she wasn’t even surprised that he did that.
If you liked this, watch Double Jeopardy. It's a little different though
It is his kid. The book gives more details but, she froze his sample from the fertility clinic and then used it when she got back. It's his kid and he's trapped
She used his semen sample. It is his kid.
The best part to this reaction is the “Peter Dacre Taylor” statement. If anything says dad move, it is when they make up names to celebrities that don’t exist 😂
In all seriousness, this is one of my favorite films. Ben’s character almost purposely comes off as stale and careless in the beginning to only lead to proving he is pulling off a facade.
Not almost.
He *WAS* cast for being, famously, unlikeable.
It has been said that Ben Affleck has a kind of "Anticharisma", which is not the opposite of being charismatic, but like having a "dislikeable kind of almost charm".
The novel describes Nick as looking pretty and smug in a 1980's comedy villain kind of way (they compare him to the annoying city official in Ghost Busters and to those guys who never get the girl on romantic comedy).
When they announced the adaptation, *EVERYBODY* thought Ben Affleck was the living embodiment of that character.
Lol
It's Nick's kid.... in the book explained how Amy pregnant with Nick's kid without 1ntercourse...she's crazy but genius and Nick stays bc he loves Amy...he loves Amy bc she's crazy and he won't be happy with a normal girl
First time I watched it I hated the ending but I've come to love it because it just makes perfect sense.
And I love a story where the bad guy wins.
It's his kid. It's 100% his kid. She didn't destroy his semen at the fertility.
She trapped him.
He trapped her first. She was just willing to kill to do it.
This is the book that got me started on bookstagram. Great movie pick. In the book she also ate excessively to fatten herself up as part of her disguise
