That "Cool Girl" speech is so iconic, and shows how Amy and Nick never really got to know each other as their "real selves", since she was always putting on an act, and pretending to be a Lad's Girl, a perception that doesn't even exist. She even sat through Adam Sandler for him.
Also it’s not mentioned in the film but I’m pretty sure that in the book, when they move back to Missouri Nick doesn’t even look after his sick mom!! Amy ends up being the one taking her to doctors appointments and chemo!! Add that to his list of crimes! If Nick has zero haters I’m dead
The "Unreliable Narrator" trope is very effectively utilised here. Initially, since Nick is the first viewpoint character, we may be inclined to side with him, until we learn that he's been cheating on Amy. Then, when we see Amy's perspective, where she discuss her and Nick's crumbling marriage, we start siding with her, until it's revealed that her diary was a complete lie, and that she's been playing both the characters and audience like fiddles.
tbh, I feel like that's why the twist is more effective in the movie. Love love love the book, but I feel like because of the way Nicks chapters are structured, it's hard to think of him as a truly unreliable character. We have total access to his internal monologue, while we only hear of Amy through her diary entries for the first half. In the film, we only see Nicks actions, which are generally shitty and suspicious - while we see Amy through her emotionally vulnerable diary entries, which gives us a stronger connection with her
Absolutely, all respect to Julianne Moore bless her but she won that because she was long overdue instead of her performance at that time. If I was the Academy, I would've gave Moore's Oscar for Far From Heaven which is the best performance she has given so far and Gone Girl for Pike
The "unrelying narrator" factor never counted for me in this movie simply because I was 100% supportive of whatever batshit crazy stuff amy was up to so I didn't really care if her pov of their story was a little fake at times
And what's refreshing is that this was the first time the world saw a different side of her as an actress. It was her first leading role and she was cast against type. Sure actresses like Nicole Kidman or Charlize Theron could've nailed it but we kinda expected them to nail it because we know their talent. Pike was super unpredictable because not too many people knew her at that time and this role was unusual for an actress like her, it subverted our expectations that there's a new fresh face who can deliver a good villain role like that. God damn, me commenting this made me miss Gone Girl hype so much back in 2014
I love ben affleck in this movie so much every single time he reacts to any news about any likr her being pregnant or that she lost a lot of blod "oh my god 😮" its so funny. Hes the perfect man for the part
I can't believe Gone Girl came out 10 years ago. 10 freaking years and i absolutely miss the hype when it came out. Rosamund Pike as Amy Dunne was everywhere at that time and she truly changed the world in playing Amy Dunne. This was the role of a lifetime that she deserves after being typecast a lot in supporting roles
I truly believe the movie came out so well also because the author was directly involved in everything. The essential parts were kept, while certain things were expanded on (like the "cool girl" speech and the ending with her pregnant), great additions to the movie narrative. It's tricky to do what the book did, going back and forth between Nick and Amy's POVs (her first ones being the diary entries and the laast ones being her actual thoughts), and it could've came across as very tacky or predictable, but it didn't. Both the book and the movie are amazing.
My only problem with girlbossifying her is the lying about abuse and faking sexual assault. Maybe some of you don’t agree and that’s okay. I do love this take, I just think some of the things are kind of crazy to defend haha
That’s why this movie blows for me. They couldn’t just write an evil woman villain: she has to lie about assault. It’s so frustrating bc I want that catharsis of watching a woman bury a man. Nick GENUINELY sucks in this movie, but all the valid hatred of him is immediately narratively made shakey when she fakes an assault
@@smallspidersad78yeah it kinda overshadows how shitty Nick is when she's pretended to have been assaulted before. It would be different if we found out that she was assaulted and the guy was lying, but we know that isn't true bc of her later actions. Ig they're just both supposed to be pieces of shit rather than one being good and one beind bad in the end.
I remember reading Gone Girl a loooong time ago and it honestly changed my life. Specifically because of the “cool girl” passage that ended up going viral on tiktok years later. It put into perspective how women often change themselves for a man, but men seldom even THINK of doing the same. Even when it’s for the better. She gave him everything and he cheated. End of story. We stand for Amy in this household
Especially because Nick knew from the beginning she was too good for him. He first wanted to better himself for her, but then after his career went down he just... made it her business? Resented her for growing up rich? Let their relationship strain and then cheats on her with a student so he can "feel like a man" again? Oh, please. His weak mindset, lack of care and indecisiveness caused all this in the first place. Amy loved Nick so much it took him cheating for her to actually take action on a plan that involves her OWN DEATH, and it only took him apologizing for her to KILL a man to go back to him. But Nick's also so self aware that he needed Amy in his life, that he saw no other option than to go back to her, even after everything she did. The book and movie are able to tie these characters in a way that the only possible outcomes are the ones Amy wanted: Her dead and him ruined, or them getting back together. That man was so uncapable of thinking for himself that even choosing divorce was a product of her ultimatum/ plan to keep him without an alibi.
Go, Nick's sister, was possibly the most sympathetic character by the end, having to watch him stay married to a psychopath for the sake of his unborn child. While Go may not be as charming as Amy, she is far more authentic as a person.
Bc she's not a psycho like her brother or his wife. She's always been on Nick's side until she finds out he was cheating, and with a student! She genuinely gets mad and disappointed at him because it's one thing to complain about certain stuff in your marriage, but cheating is a whole other thing. And she's also horrified by the lengths Amy goes to, and how Nick just... stays. I really like her character
I'm so obsessed with that scene where she crawls towards the camera. The first time I saw it was a really formative experience & I honestly think it changed me as a person. I love this movie sm
Rosamund Pike freaked me out in this movie to the point if i ever meet her in person, i'd probably run away and scream like a man not because i'm a fan of her but she literally traumatised me in Gone Girl 😂 Bless her heart, she know what she went through with this material and she knocked it outta the park. I wish she could've won that Oscar 😢
Love you. Ive been waiting for this video all my life. On dates, I love making men watch this movie with me and when it’s over, I slowly look at them and go, “this is my favorite movie” 🥰
Something interesting that I never see people talking about is how when Amy returns home, her dress is covered in Desi's blood - you know, she dress that unzipped and removed before getting down and then killing Desi. Did she roll around in his blood before heading home to make her "escape" look more plausible? Food for thought.
The cool girl monologue honestly changed my life, because I’ve always had tons of female friends and more “feminine” interests, so I didn’t realize I tried to become a specific genre of the cool girl for the guy I used to be with. Never again!!!
I just realized that this movie shaped the way i see ben affleck in my mind. Like i never realized i truly believe that in his personal life, ben affleck is nick dunne😭😭
I haven't seen the movie, but I have watched The Vile Eye's video "Analyzing Evil: Amy Dunne from Gone Girl" He's an awesome youtuber if you haven't heard of him.
One of my favorite things about this film is how much it scares men 😂 Women are constantly subjected to seeing terrifying movies with gender-based violence, but Amy Dunne kills one guy and manipulates another, both of whom are bad people, and these boys are shaking in their boots.

I think about that monologue all the time
YOU'RE EVERYWHERE LOL
also the “im the cunt you married” speech went soooo hard it’s underrated
everyday@@danicacassidy1672
Amy Dunne is the definition of “I support women’s rights and women’s WRONGS!”
Also it’s not mentioned in the film but I’m pretty sure that in the book, when they move back to Missouri Nick doesn’t even look after his sick mom!! Amy ends up being the one taking her to doctors appointments and chemo!! Add that to his list of crimes! If Nick has zero haters I’m dead
I'm not shocked lmao

i love amy dunn i was genuinely so happy when she didn't get arrested at the end
same girl
And she got her man back. She won so bad. Honestly an icon. Let this be a lesson
Rosemaund pike should've won that Oscar. Not the Julieanne Moore overdue Oscar career win
YUP
Soo trueee
Absolutely, all respect to Julianne Moore bless her but she won that because she was long overdue instead of her performance at that time. If I was the Academy, I would've gave Moore's Oscar for Far From Heaven which is the best performance she has given so far and Gone Girl for Pike

I mean didn’t she lie about him abusing her though?? I feel like it’s pretty important lol😂
@@laneomeara4242 she's not a real why would it matter
Literally lol the cheating is enough
Rosamund Pike played Amy so well, she really understood what needed to be done in order to give a good perfomance
And what's refreshing is that this was the first time the world saw a different side of her as an actress. It was her first leading role and she was cast against type.

trin defending amy dunn for 10 minutes straight during international women’s month is so ICONIC
Can't wait for her to defend the KKK during black history month.

No yess I agree
No this is true too

trin is so pretty it’s unbelievable
thank you so much omg:’(((
WITH A BOB!
The bob did it!
One of the best characters ever imo, and rosamund absolutely slayed her

I just know Trin made this video for me. My fave movie ever... and on international women's day no less!

@@heyitsmira17agreed
in the book she irritated me…
I'm so obsessed with that scene where she crawls towards the camera. The first time I saw it was a really formative experience & I honestly think it changed me as a person. I love this movie sm
Or when Amy looks at dead Desi, pauses, and just shakes her head to get the hair out of her face lol
The way Neil's character didn't want Amy as a person but as a perfect image and Amy's face processing it was truly the best part
The mikesmic energy is strong in this one love you both
"with a BOB" I'm wheezing
She wasn't gonna frame NPH, I think, until she realized he was going to control her.
She decided to frame him as a scapegoat the second she decided she didn't want to die and wanted to go back to nick
Rosamund Pike freaked me out in this movie to the point if i ever meet her in person, i'd probably run away and scream like a man not because i'm a fan of her but she literally traumatised me in Gone Girl 😂 Bless her heart, she know what she went through with this material and she knocked it outta the park.

29:09 "WITH A BOB! 💁🏼♀️"
the sound editing on this video brings the comedy up to a whole new level, i was almost in tears @ 17:05
Love you. Ive been waiting for this video all my life.
On dates, I love making men watch this movie with me and when it’s over, I slowly look at them and go, “this is my favorite movie” 🥰
Suddenly gotta make a Dunkin’ run and I don’t know why

amy duncan and amy dunne are the best❤
The cool girl monologue honestly changed my life, because I’ve always had tons of female friends and more “feminine” interests, so I didn’t realize I tried to become a specific genre of the cool girl for the guy I used to be with. Never again!!!
Happy International Women’s Month everyone!! We’re so badass I love us 💖
amy duncan TW
What are the odds I saw this for the first time last night!!

Whats your favorite rom com?
Anne Hathaway: gone girl 🤗
Girl you lookin especially pretty here
Amy is my favorite superhero
Also I agree the casting is perfect, especially for Amy and Nick
the way she also manipulated him to not leave her and he started to kind be in love w her again. love u amy🫶🏾
Watched this movie for the first time the other night and now it’s definitely one of my favourite movies I’ve watched. So hyped up made this video
Does anyone want her to watch/react to the movie like normal? I know you’ve already seen it, but it would still be fun to get her reaction
I just realized that this movie shaped the way i see ben affleck in my mind. Like i never realized i truly believe that in his personal life, ben affleck is nick dunne😭😭
my favorite movie ever I LOVE YOU AMY DUNNE
22:39 SOCIAL NETWORK MENTION🦅🦅🥳👹🦅🦅
regular long videos are what we need from you, TRIN!!
You’re literally so iconic omg
Trin never misses
She honestly created feminism ❤
miss amy dunne is the original woman
You look so good on this video like omg, your hair, makeup, and outfit is so cuteeeeeeee😋💓
literally watched gone girl for the first time ever bc i saw ur video on my yt home page
For anyone who doesn’t know this movie was based on a book and it’s so good highly recommend it. The author Gillian Flynn is incredible
Yayyyy trin posted the day is perfect
i’m begging u to watch I Care A Lot… rosemund is back and she’s just as villainous and diva
I would argue the one guy from NYC wasn’t a freak. Every other man though? Full freak!
I thought the title said Amy Duncan
oh ok trin made that joke too i see
I think I just fell in love with the way you talk
If you’ve never read the book, you really should! It’s great!
I haven't seen the movie, but I have watched The Vile Eye's video "Analyzing Evil: Amy Dunne from Gone Girl" He's an awesome youtuber if you haven't heard of him.
I agree. Amy really ate that shit up babe slayed. No notes.
Yes, emphasis on mummy dearest…
This is literally my favorite movie
22:44 really fitting you quoting another david fincher movie
Will always defend this queen
My comfort movies: Pride and prejudice, the Mummy, the Mummy 2, Gone Girl 2014
me to my sister: I'll never fucking watch this movie or read the book. It's not my thing
also me: ooh, ill watch this
If you enjoy 90s movies where they said yes to everything you should watch Sleeping With the Enemy
I'VE NEVER CLICKED SO FAST. Love u queen 💓
love u trin but im MISS the old video format sm
this is my favorite movie but i’m biased bc it was filmed in my town !
i started working on an essay about gone girl today perfect timing
Can’t believe this was the first video I saw of trin’s, it’s meant to be
Love this, love gone girl, love u 🩷
Amy Dunne is a superhero.
happy women’s history month i guess
i think about that constantly
@@LovellTrinme too like that’s history
Amy Dunne is like Patrick Batman is to men but for women.
No bc I’ve been waiting for this one
They can never make me hate Amy Dune
let’s fucking gooooooo
OMG YAY!
not me going on youtube and immediately finding this, im truly god's fave😆
I have a deep fear that something bad would happen around me and i would react like nick dunne. I truly fear i would not know how to act😭😭
This is so funny bc I just finished rereading the book
no body, no crime is Noel's anthem fr.
if he kills her after the credits roll they wont suspect him this time
One of my favorite things about this film is how much it scares men 😂 Women are constantly subjected to seeing terrifying movies with gender-based violence, but Amy Dunne kills one guy and manipulates another, both of whom are bad people, and these boys are shaking in their boots.
Remember how she also made a guy into a sex offender because he didn't want to wear the ties she wanted. Kinda sus that you aint mentioning that.
Some people get upset when you like Any Dunne as if they've only ever liked fictional characters that are good people.
Cope harder loser.
have i seen this movie? yes. will i watch trin talk about the plot of this movie? yes.
I don't even know my own blood type😭 i would buckle under the pressure of this investigation
YEEEEESSSSSSS
the vid dropped 2 days ago and i’m only seeing it in my recs NOW… youtube wtf
Exactly
Please watch I care a lot rosemund is amazing in it
Cmere trin you gorgeous baby doll
