i'm a bad woman

As women, it seems easy for us to say what we are not, and when we say what I am not, there are many other possibilities, such as "I am not a good child" (but probably not so bad), "I am not a gentle woman" (but not so violent), "I'm not a beautiful woman (but not too ugly)"... It's hard for us to declare what I am in a positive way, because there dismisses any other possibility and Retreat, such as "I'm a bad woman", "I'm a rough woman", "I'm an ugly woman". The good thing about Gone Girl is that she is a woman's affirmative declaration: I am the bad guy, the murderer, your wife, the mother of your child!

Women's "I AM", especially with regard to their anger and malicious "I AM" are mostly ignored, side-referenced, skillfully bypassed, buried under excuses, victimized, and rarely Direct and eloquent writing. Gone Girl actually has nothing to do with marriage, education, ethics and psychological analysis. The cruelty of marriage, the failure of education, and vanity are all pretense. The film does not emphasize these from beginning to end.

The marriage of Amy and Nick naturally gave the story a shell and a starting point, but the film has almost no portrayal and thinking about the marriage itself, but only gives us some sporadic clues through flashbacks. These clues promote the development of the plot. Not heavily inked as the focus of the story. From a plot, it can be seen that the film does not care about the theme of marriage and love. Nick found Amy's former boyfriend and found out that he was framed by Amy and sentenced to ten years in prison for rape. I'm starting to feel that this scene is unnecessary and can be deleted entirely. But then I thought it was a wonderful stroke, and it allowed us to shift our focus from the marriage to the woman herself. The director uses this seemingly superfluous stroke to tell us that this is not a second-rate plot of revenge on a cheating husband in a failed marriage. Amy, this woman, this woman's bad, wonderful means and strong will are the key points. !

In the play, Nick's sister tells the truth: "Everyone knows that "complicated woman" is synonymous with "bitch". Nick bites one bitch, which is exactly the world's definition of a complicated woman. Silly and naive women and male villains were cleverly swapped in Gone Girl, Nick's "silly and naive" was played ruthlessly, and the anniversary was called out to think about their marriage and decided to marry him. Wife divorces. In reality, many Amys will probably choose to accept the divorce calmly, and then will be remembered by her ex-husband from time to time: "She is a good woman, but we are not suitable for each other..." Such a woman is not a bitch. The victim, the good woman's attitude lives on. But Amy in the film disappeared before her husband announced her divorce, the spotlight came, the world's sympathy came, her husband was hated by the world, and even treated as a murder suspect. Nick couldn't say anything, and he could only vent his anger in vain one bite at a time.

Amy's so-called bitch's behavior is not only her bad, but also her high IQ and high tactics. The lawyer defending Nick couldn't help but say: She's amazing! Hearing that Nick had to live with her, he said with a smile: She's great, you just need to be careful not to offend her. Yes, Nick had to live with her, and even ended up being put together as the father of her child. The shell of marriage is always there, but it doesn't matter whether the marriage is there or not, the important thing is that this bad woman can completely play this stupid and naive man on her palm. Probably Nick was safer in the marriage from having his throat cut.

Before watching the movie, I read the author's self-report, so I knew in advance the author's intention to write a bad woman. Other movies sometimes see articles such as the director's self-report before watching the movie, but after watching the movie, you will feel that this is not shown at all. But Gone Girl, I think David Fincher's intentions for the story are very good, and it doesn't end up being a second-rate drama about a marriage tragedy. Amy's actor also played Amy really well, not surprisingly, she is the best actress in the Oscars.
