I just saw it tonight and what a mind-fuck. I'm curious to get your thoughts on it with regards to what it says about those two's relationship and perhaps relationships in general..
But then the plot twist hit and I was like OMG!!!
Now you guys have me wanting to see the movie.
The author of the book Gillian Flynn is awesome! I read another book by her called "Dark Places" and liked it even better than "Gone Girl". I am now reading another book by her called "Sharp Objects".
I love her writing style.
She just wanted her relationship with the Ben Affleck character to be like it was in the beginning, instead of accepting that it had run its natural course, and was over. As "Amazing Amy", failure was not an option for her.
It was pretty good.
In my opinion they were both whacked in the head.
That library scene.........lordy. Jennifer Garner is a lucky woman.
That said - the characters are perfectly, humanly flawed - all of them. And they do the best they can, with what they have. The fact that they are all raving homicidal nut jobs - just made it all the more interesting.
I know women like that though - predatorial, manipulative women...and hey.........she won.....that's all that counts isn't it??
What the Ben Affleck character did was perfectly humanly flawed.
What the Amy character did went several levels beyond that!!
I have to say I loved the part when she spit in that woman's lemonade though! That was too funny. I once added a little salt to a snarky customer's Dr. Pepper when I was a teen, working at a fast food place. Yikes! I hope that's the only level I get to! bwaaa haaa haaa
Library scene, so hot!!!
Yep, as I said before, Amazing Amy's relationship with the Ben Affleck character was primarily physical, sexual. He f-cked her like a raging bull moose, in a way no other man had up to that point and rang her bell repeatedly each sex session, gave her multiple big O's.
The Neil Patrick Harris character, despite the fact that he was handsome, rich and totally into and devoted to her, was pathetically weak in the physical, sexual department. He could never measure up to the hunka hunka strong man with a raging boner Ben Affleck was. She wanted her racehorse stud muffin back.
Hell hath no fury like a woman denied her sexual gratification!
