    As long as Gone Girl is gone I’ll be happy. One of those movies I couldn’t stand that others really seem to like. Ridiculous story to the point where I said, “Are you fucking kidding me?” out loud in the theater when

    It's not meant to be taken literally, I don't think. It's an allegory.

    Bingo. The story uses wild, caricature extremes to raise broader ethical dilemmas and deliver a cynical view on modern relationships and infidelities.

    Also, I think the book did a slightly better job explaining everything. I read it before I watched the movie so I may have bit different view of it.

    My favorite line from Gone Girl, and the one I think really throws moral compasses into a tailspin is

    Spoiler:
    when she says "I've killed for you, Nick. How many other women could say the same?" That I think is really the beginning of Nick's moral compromise.

    Yeah, i assumed the book is possibly better. Maybe I’ll give it a read some day. I just couldn’t get there with the movie at all.

    Anybody who knows me knows I love Fincher, but the film Gone Girl doesn't come close to the book.

    You won't get the same thing out of the book at this point, unfortunately. When that twist happens in the book, I was floored. It was so well played.
