25:46 She was saying she wished he'd asked before moving her to Missouri; I think the implication is he just told her that's the way things would be.
Yeah I was confused why they were confused lol
You don’t just decide something like that without discussing it with your partner.
@@sproductionsinc it goes the other way too. His reason was very clear, there is no discussion that needed to be had.
@@Indi-r2x it's not about having discussions but about the courtesy of asking. the pretense of having a choice in the matter wouldn't have pissed her off as much as just moving her without asking because it would at least signify that he took her into consideration even if they both knew they would move regardless of her answer.
@@onlineuser252 There is no choice here. Are you dense ? "Honey my mom has late stage cancer, shall we go to her or let her die and watch it on skype" .. Not only this, you are also forgetting, that is Amy's version of events, which in her own words are fabricated.
Gotta admire Amy's determination. I would have gotten lazy and dropped this plan halfway through putting it into motion. 😂
I would’ve chickened out too
Watching this movie in a sold out theatre was such an experience. Such a crazy/great movie
Glenn Close and Sharon Stone would be proud
Glad I'm not the only one who burst out laughing when she pulled that dramatic ass pose in the ending 😂
Amy isn't the one who writes the Amazing Amy books. Her parents do that, and always make Amazing Amy one step ahead of real Amy, which has led to her being a bit messed up.
I was blown away by this movie and book. Amy is a narcissistic psychopath. But Nick is a lil psychotic also. No emotions, remorse, no guilt, very glib, persistent liar.
When a narcissistic person "falls in love". They don't fall for the individual. They actually choose the person that shares their fantasy. Nick, the sociopathic, womanizing, hobosexual told whatever lie he needed to tell, to turn Amazing Amy into another trophy, a game he won. But, he had no idea who he was messing with.
I found this movie most interesting because I feel like Nick had no problem destroying Amy. Use a woman's money, body, throat, child bearing years and once you get bored.... just find a new Amy... She was not going to allow that to happen to her.
Be careful breaking the heart of a narcissist. There are consequences. The worst part is that Amy was turned into this by her parents. All she knows is how to be perfect story. Perfection is her only identity. The only thing she has. Nick was okay with humiliating her, stripping her of her only public image. Reducing Amazing Amy to ....Divorced, Cheated On, You're Not Good Enough Amy. Nah bruh... vows were taken, time was taken. As long as, he plays his role, he is fine. The same way women have to play roles to get a long lasting relationship. "COOL GIRL".... we've all done it. And we smile through every second so our man never knows, it's all a role so he can feel like he's in heaven. No woman likes giving throat, back door action, sports, working just to come home and work 5 more hours.... then he has a nerve to get bored!
Amy is the innervoice of many wives and girlfriends.
I love this comment.
This makes it sound like Amy had no control whatsoever in any of her relationships - when in fact Amy is all about control. She misrepresented herself from the start because, deep down, she knows her true nature would be unacceptable to most. Amy acts a different part for each individual she meets; her parents, Nick, boyfriends, strangers even. She's a parasite: an abusive person who use cunning to trap, manipulate, and punish.
People harm each other: relationships go bad and fail. But to falsely accuse someone of rape for refusing to wear a tie; frame a cheating doofus for murder in the hopes he'd get the death penalty; murder an ex boyfriend (creepy but ultimately harmless); and successfully manipulate every major groups of people around her including the media and the police. That is not a damsel in destress stuck in a terrible situation. Framing her as simply a scorned woman does her disservice: she's a full on predator. Amy was always in control, from the start. That's why she kept Nick's sperm all this time. Contingency plan. We all have bad in us, we all do shitty things, but Amy is a different kind all together.
@OdyBlack-y3r not what I said at all. Have a good night
I wish I can like this comment 10x more. Spot on!
@@OdyBlack-y3r Not at all what was said lol.
After watching the movie I read the book and reading through Amy perspective was very interesting. They left some details in the movie but reading the book you understand why she turned out the way she did. Rosemund pike’s performance it’s just amazing just by the facial expression you can tell that this a character that always moving mentally and always planning.
Also Amy is more disturbing in the book.
EXACTLY 💯 her parents basically made her into this by constantly comparing her to the better fictional version of her that was perfect
@@_adrian_sean& for him to finally be a breath of fresh air and then cheat on her with a “better” woman was the icing on the cake. Wasn’t good enough for her parents or husband
Tyler perry is so good in this and so random too
"what you got me watching dog" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your generous contribution.
You should see the smile on our faces.
Ear to ear. ❤️❤️
I haven't seen "Gone Girl" for years. Thanks for the watch-a-long. Ben Affleck's character reminds me of Scott Peterson.
Wow, glad to see. I'm not the only one that has always thought this. And it's funny how the case resembles scott peterson's case as well so much
Yeah, Rosamund Pike got an Oscar nomination to Best Actress for this performance - definitely deserved. Amy is an all-time villain.
Amy set this man up PERFECTLY😂 Truly the best revenge even if she was psychotic 😂😂
Tyler Perry is really good as the slick lawyer type.
I never thought I would laugh at a reaction to this movie, but you two cracked me up the whole time!
I’ve always hated the final ending. I wanted the crackhead couple to come forward to turn her in and get immunity for the theft
Why would they care? I'm sure they stole from a lot of other people who would've recognized them and reported them for more crimes.
Syntell was hip to Amy’s antics! Saw her crazy from a mile away 😂
The thing is, even though it's easy to jump to Amy being the 'villain' of the movie, thats not really the point. The point is that everyone in this movie is morally corrupt in one way or another. Nick was not a good guy, and so even though Amy was obviously the more extreme of the two, the point is that no-one really got their happy ending because no-one actually deserved it.
If I were Nick I would enjoy those 2000 thread count nights with a baddie and sleep with one eye open
You sound foolish
And now the kid has to suffer.
@@sproductionsinc yeah because the whole thing is a shit situation. I'm hardly defending Amy.
@@juniegyllenhaal3937 that literally is the point of the movie, it's not black and white and there is no singular villain. If you cant offer a reasonable counter-argument then please don't just insult me.
I love this movie. The fact that Amy got away with it was the chef's kiss. Rosamund Pike was nominated for an Oscar, but did not win. The way the movie ends is wild. One of my favorite movies. Great reaction.
During her monologue Amy said the beginning parts were true but she "invented" the abuse written in the diary. Nick never pushed her and the flashback was made up. Him slamming her head at the end is ironic because that's literally the first time he puts his hands on her.
GREAT reaction, guys! Such an amazing film. Ties with "Zodiac" as Fincher's best, imo. Perfectly made in each and every detail.
Amy wasn't the author of the Amazing Amy books....her parents are (i suspect mainly her mother). they messed her up from childhood.
How To Create A Malignant Narcissist 101...they could teach a master class, no doubt.
One of the funnest movies to watch for a first time, and even funner to watch others react to lol. The moment the twists start coming it just gets so insane and ridiculous, I love it. One of my favorite movies.
Check out Rosemund with Christian Bale in a western called Hostiles. Incredible movie!!!! Incredible, gorgeous actress!
**Syntell
This movie is based on a book by author Gillian Flynn of the same name, it's worth a read. She tends to write about psycopathy in women. She wrote two more books: Sharp Objects and Dark Places. I HIGHLY advise watching the HBO series adapted from Sharp Objects. It has similar vibes. If you react to that, I'M THERE!!! Then Dark Places was made into a movie, which is good but doesn't have the same punch. Both show and movie have A list actors in them too. I don't think the author has written any other full books since these. But if you want an intense read... her stuff is wild!
Fantastic reaction!!!❤
Great reaction and this is easily one of my to 5 movies of all time, the screenplay. execution production are all top-tier
Amy took emotional intelligence to the liiiiimic
Hoping Leo gets some good exposure here! His reactions are great!!
Such a great movie
Gone girl is my favourite romcom 😌
omg the guy on the right reminds me of earl sweatshirt!!
As beautiful as Rosamund Pike is, I can't imagine a guy trusting a relationship with her if he has watched this. Also, watch her in "I Care A Lot" 2021... The same vibes...
Apparently Rosamunde Pike said that after this movie people around her were a bit apprehensive for a while.
It made me like her more. 😈
I wish you had watched this with Michael Claire instead, Syn. I would've enjoyed watching with her.
I absolutely love Amy 😂
Great react! Can you watch Pride and Prejudice (2005)? Maybe for valentines day since it's a romance. It stars Rosamond Pike in a very different role.
This movie never gets old. I’ll take Fincher’s body of work over Nolan’s any day, but I’m probably in the minority.
1:00:54 She's cleaning because she's going to leave and she doesn't want any evidence she was there. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your POV), she didn't do it soon enough.
You think you hate her... you should watch "I care A LOT!!"....You don't know what hating her feels like till you have watched that
The blond TV journalist is played by Missi Pyle, she's been in a bunch of stuff. Pretty sure the character is modeled after Nancy Grace.
Imo underrated movie
Watching this in the current climate, it feels like a documentary
Genuinely one of my favourite films of all time I love how meticulous and evil and crazy it is
This movie is crazy!!!
Please do an Aneesh Chaganty trilogy.
52:10 Globo Gym Purple Cobras ☄️
"I HATE HER SO MUCH. SHE'S BRILLIANT!"
Best worst character ever. Horrible people, both of them.
MY Hero won lol
You know how to do a reaction. You showed almost every reaction.
I watched Gone Girl 2nd oart first and i was like OMG, she is a crazy then i watched 1st part then i was in her team , i understood her well, he cheated on her , spended her money on his business , she should just as a "cool girl" not fair at all
This is based off of a true story. I think.
This movie reminds me so much of the real life case of Scott Peterson Who was convicted of killing his pregnant wife back in a day and was cheating on her as well. At the same time before And during her disappearance..
What?
's funny as I always did think that scott peterson resembled ben affleck a little bit and it's funny that he's now Starring in a movie that basically resembled the scott peterson's case so much
@@LanaTheGemini except Scott REALLY did it & the wife (and baby Conner) actually were dead....but my first watch I rolled my eyes from the beginning because I THOUGHT that's the direction this was taking 👀👀👀 and oh how WRONG i was!
...so i do agree with your comment, just wanted to clarify the conclusion (not that you're not aware - just sayin)
Amy with this old southern money accent at a cash only roach motel is just comical - book smart yes, street smart no
I always liked that little detail because it’s realistic.. there are people who are geniuses at manipulation, yet lack common sense in soooo many other areas. It shows she has some blind spots.
Check out Linda Florentino for another femme fatale
Ugh
Movie is Last Seduction
Next gotta be girl on the train
💍Please react to 'Sleeping with the Enemy' 1991
Is dude on the right serious? She told him when the reporters arrived that she needed him to admit he pushed her, meaning he didn't push her before and she wanted him to lie. So this was the first time he was physical with her and it's absolutely understandable after being framed for her murder. Sure violence isn't condoned under normal circumstances but someone threatening his life with a death sentence isn't normal circumstances.
He is saying that the way he did it doesn't seem like it's the first time. And all Amy said was that she needed Nick to admit to the push, doesn't mean it was fake, just that he needed to say it was true for her story.
Beware the unreliable narrator...
I've been married for 26 years and both me and my wife don't know each other's blood type.
That’s so weird to me. It’s an important thing lol
pretty sure if she was a rich famous black woman, the media would be all over it too.
and if she wasn't rich and famous, and the cops found a crime scene at the house, the whole forensics team would be there, too.
times have changed.
Me and my daughter are a little brown and when she went missing it was all over the place, not because of the police but because my wife was relentless with hounding the media. She just ran away at 16.
@bigboycombo6342 1 million percent facts. Gotta keep it in the news.
Happy she is ok, btw 🙏
Idk about that. If Gabrielle union went missing tomorrow and Kim Kardashian went missing on the same day, who do you think would get more coverage and attention?
@@Ks2006mp3 But if Byonce or Kim Kardashian would be missing, who would get more attention then?

I love the part when y'all finally remembered that women are crazy and vindictive. The whole time you were bad-mouthing Nick all I was thinking was "Wait until these dudes find out what's really going on!". You were real close to a man card suspension.
😂😂😂
Nick ain’t exactly the Last Boy Scout. 😂I get it but they both have a perspective. She was cold with it, not defending the diabolical plan, but respect on the genius.
Don't forget how crazy Desi is
They were not pilling on Nick enough, just giggling on his young cheating affair like it was okay 😩🥴 Nick ist pureeeeee 🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️the worst kind of user.. He played with the wrong one
I can just tell you’re a virgin
