Get ready for American History X movie reaction/commentary Wednesday! :) Enjoy the day!
This movie is even better about the 3rd or fourth watch. lol
Your opening reaction calling the guy scumbag off the bat, and nothing negative about the woman means your reactionary person.. think the film made its point
@@craigcassidy6078 To be quite honest, he was cheating on his wife. That's pretty scummy to me. lol
James
You should review The 13th Warrior
Another David Fincher masterclass.
The Cool Girl speech is absolutely iconic and the screenplay was written by the author of the book!
ICONIC
Gillian Flynn is a genius writer!! Both as an author and screenplay writer!
Gillian is amazing. I can't wait to get another novel out of her.
She adapted her book very well.
Yeah it was disappointing he skipped completely over it
The whole thing with the cat is that I took it as the cat is the only real witness to what happened in the house. The cat is the only character who knows the truth
I love Cats.
Also the cat was another way for us to see the humans true character. Sometimes people tend to treat the pets better than their humans. This was another way for us to see their true colors when they were stressed, angry, etc.
Yet cats truly could give two shits
@@realSimoneCherie ha facts!
@@aaronpresley and even in some of Amy’s notes one of the last things she did was say goodbye to the cat. he was her one ally.
this movie was probably one of the best adaptations from book to screen.
That’s a damn good statement haha
That's because the author of the book, Gillian Flynn, wrote the screenplay!
@@waterboy91669 Her mini series adaptation of Sharp Objects on HBO was also pretty good.
100% agree
@@nickydaley345 sharp objects was amazing, i loved the attention to detail and how they incorporated specific parts of the book into the show
Gone Girl's one of those movies that I really want to see for the first time again.
Happy I got the chance to see it first with you guys!
Didn't liked that much...i remember i slept before finished
@@dimitrakapa4887 Ur too used to superhero movies then.
@@snnnaaaaaakeeeee4470 True. Tbh, I love superhero movies because they entertain me with colorful bright colors most of the time, powers, effects, and visuals. But this type of movie, especially Mystery/Thriller, I'm so attracted with it especially if it's dark, deep, gross, gory, disturbing, authentic, gritty, grim, grounded and this is the type of genres I want ti explore more and improve more especially with, detectives, police, how the procedures works, etc. Also, the VILLAINS. They are always the best part in mystery/thriller genres, tbh. So, we need to make them memorable, or unforgettable.
I really love how this film starts out making you think that it's a gritty psychological mystery/crime story - and then at the halfway point it pulls a screeching U-turn and reveals that it's actually been a much crazier, pulpier, absurd story than you realized. Like Amy herself, the film was pretending to be something else, and had everyone fooled until the big monologue. :)
If this movie taught me everything, frame your wife before she frames you.
The director said that it starts as a mystery n then becomes s thriller and ultimately a satire..
Seeing this movie made me imagine what reading the book it's based on was like as an experience. Imagine turning the page and starting a new chapter where she is narrating being alive and meticulously planning out her entire murder and framing her husband, after all the evidence against him. That must have been gasp inducing and a total shock.
It absolutely was! I read the book before seeing the movie, and let me tell you, it was an absolute rollercoaster of an experience. It's very similar to how it's revealed in the movie in how they keep you on the edge of your seat trying to figure out what the hell is going on right up until the dropping of how Amy planned the whole thing. I can't tell you how many times I went back and forth on whether or not I believed Nick was the killer. It's one of those books where you start out thinking, "he's crazy" to "wait no, SHE'S crazy" to finally "okay, so everyone's crazy" lmao.
I read the book first. It was like I was punched in the stomach. It was so shocking!
It was exactly like that. I spent the first half convinced he killed her and then BAM, nope....She's alive.
Started off hating him, then her, then both.
It was absolutely an experience. If I remember right it was in three parts, and Amy’s part was part 2, and seeing all the pieces fall together was amazing, a total wtf moment. There’s only ever one book I think that’s had a twist like that.
Reading the book is like riding a roller coaster with something covering your eyes. You have no idea the nest up and downs the thrill is amazing.
That scene where Neil Patrick Harris' character takes her bowl of ice cream away is when she decided to kill him
@rose petal issa joke, rosie
@tear drops
Even if she wasn't going to go back to Nick, the only way she could be free again was if Desi was dead. The book describes her unease about how prepared everything is for her - a bedroom painted in a former favourite color, a greenhouse full of tulips because those were her favourite flowers when they were dating, etc. She wonders how long he expects her to stay. So, feeling him out and looking to gain back control, she asks for some money, in case she has to disappear quickly. Instead of the expected credit card or stack of cash he gives her 40 dollars and she realizes she might be in trouble. The house is surrounded by walls that are several meters high and he explicitly tells her he would go to the police if she were to ever leave. She's effectively his prisoner, though it's not clear if he realises how creepy he's being. Of course, taking it literally requires us to believe her narration, but considering she doesn't make him look overly villainous, I'm tempted to believe her account.
Amy is such a fascinating character, and I wish we had more female characters like her. So messed up from her parents and in turn messes up others. She's interesting and amazing to watch while still being irredeemable. A top tier female villain.
Its always good to know the antagonists intent and what drives them even if they are a murderer. Amy's logic may be flawed, self indulgent and narcissistic. As the woman in the Ozarks basically straight up tells her.
@@jacobjones5269 why'd you click on the video then lol
Who knew well written women and villains can be good villains with no real iredeamable qualities. The trauma of her past does not give her the excuse to be this insane .. i like that. Some become really good people heroes.. others become the villian.
I don’t believe she’s a villian
Gillian Flynn, who wrote the screenplay and the novel for Gone Girl, also wrote the novel for the HBO show Sharp Objects. If you liked Gone Girl, check that show out, it’s great.
Tried to get to people watch it but not much results. The start can be kinda slow and overbearing for some but godamn it is good when it starts to unwind itself. Amy Adam's did her best and propably hardest work right there.
Aleksi Suuronen It’s a perfect example of a story that should be made into a miniseries rather than a film
@@bencarlson4300 I was talking about Sharp Objects, it's a mini-series. The first episodes are pretty depressing and slow so atleast one woman that I got to watch it stopped it even tho I tried to convince her that the set-up is worth the pay-off. Amy Adam's is in it, Rosemund Pike is the one in Gone Girl.
Aleksi Suuronen I was agreeing with you, not talking about Gone Girl
@@bencarlson4300 aa sorry my bad
I love how society treating her like a delicate flower leads to people just ignoring obvious holes in her stories; allowing her to get away with the crimes.
this movie was royally snubbed at the oscars
The fact that Gillian Flynn wasn’t even nominated will always make me salty lol. Like what the hell, academy?
@@jennym7786 I know!! like the screenplay is so good the cool girl monologue is incredible!!!! one of the best adaptions from book to screen as well
And Rosamund deserved it for sure?!
the cool girl speech is one of the most relatable things I’ve ever heard, coming from a guy. and the atmosphere (specifically the visuals and the music) is one of my favorites in film
But dangerous .. cause it's written by a sociopath. Who knows exactly how to make her self -----relatable, theres garnering your empathy. Brilliant
Do ppl understand how narcissistic that speech is? I don’t think so and it’s kinda alarming.
The director's commentary said that cat (Mr. Cheeto) would stay wherever you placed him. Stay, for hours and hours. So unlike most filming and animals, the cat was easy to put on screen, cooperative and no continuity errors.
By the way, every woman understands the cool girl speech. Reading it, you were like 'oh. She's putting it out there what we've unspokenly agreed we don't talk about. Okay. Interesting.'
But you have to also remember, this is written by someone's that is manipulating the narrative.
@@npcimknot958 It's not that black and white. She may be manipulating the narrative, but what she said in the cool girl monologue is relatable for most women.
"Exhausted" is definitely a legitimate way to describe feelings after certain films. I felt the same way after "Whiplash" and "mad max fury road."
I was devastated for days after watching this movie, I just couldn’t take the fact that Afflecks character and their baby was gonna live with such a dangerous and explosive person.
I felt that after Prisoners
You were exhausted after Whiplash... and Fury Road?! Literally those movies have such awesome emotional journeys that make me so excited after finishing them
Feel like that after No Country For Old Men, one of my favorites and 'Audition' a 1999 Japanese film.
Credit where credit is due due for the amazing director David Fincher, but let's not forget Gillian Flynn who adapted her own novel and making the screenplay for the movie as well.
Still remember my jaw unhinging watching this for the first time. Amy played the game well. She knew Nick would make himself look like a fool to the public.
Right!? Such an awesome concept honestly
I'm, not so sure she did. I think she was waiting for an advantage of some kind but she seemed kind of surprised when he made the move he did.
@Theomite
According to her claims in the book (whatever they're worth, considering Amys track record with the truth), she knew he would look like an idiot - and a guilty one at that. Supposedly, the original plan was suicide after the interesting news coverage was over. Not sure if we can believe that she would've done it. She would've eventually killed Desi in any case though. She felt absolutely disgusted by him and he threatened to go to the police if she ever left so it was either wait for him to die or kill him herself.
The music is by Trent Reznor. He has worked with David Fincher in Social Network and has won an Oscar for it.
Awesome! Well deserved!
@@JamesVSCinema although I was cheering for Hans Zimmer's Inception score, still both were extremely good.
Also known as the Nine Inch Nails Trent Reznor
I think he also did the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo along with Atticus Ross.
@@EmilyDickmesome and The Social Network
It was crazy relationship
Nick never like himself. He only like a person that Amy makes him to be.
Nick also can’t imagine a life without Amy either.
Right on!
Fincher's the man. Loved "Gone Girl". "Zodiac" is one of my top 20 favorites of all time. "Seven" is up there for me, too.
Zodiac is actually on the patreon list now! 👌🏽
Seven is a freaking masterpiece. Zodiac is great as well.
You're missing one...
@@tylerdurden4483 My apologies, Mr. Durden lol. Feel free to hit me as hard as you can.
@kshamwhizzle That's another one, seen it at least 5 times. He has a hell of a catalog. Only one I can think of that I wasn't a big fan of was Benjamin Button.
If you loved the cinematography and dialogs watch every David Fincher movie, he is amazing
Hahaha for sure
Fincher elevates every script he films. That said, he's not a writer, so he can't make a bad or even so-so script into a great film. Benjamin Button is a perfect example.
@@Finians_Mancave I thought The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was a beautifully melancholic modern fairy tale that shows Fincher expanding his range as a storyteller. Not giving us an intense mystery or thriller but instead a soft, soulful meditation on the ups the downs, the connections made and lost, as well as the tragic beauty of one very unique person's life.
Imagine if he directed Prisoners
James VS Cinema watch se7en please
the "cool girl" speech was the writer comming out the screen and grabbing u by the neck and saying "hey, you, yes you"
Do you not see the most disturbing part? They will stay together not merely because of Amy’s plotting, but because Amy has a point: not only does she relish jumping back into being cool girl for the public, but Nick secretly likes himself better as that suave guy Amy is going to force him to be. At the end of the day they’re happy in a really demented codependent way. They’re happier than many couples because they at least have found a way to lock their partner into being the best version of themself. Media scrutiny and intimidation. It’s like the world’s most deeply committed codependent relationship. I don’t feel sorry for nick and I don’t see Amy as any feminist icon. They’re both eager to embrace the sick life they are making together. Margot knows.
23:03 literally everyone's reaction 😂 definitely the most wtf moment
Right like YO!?
I literally found your channel like 3 days ago and have watched every single video
Hahaha my man Christian, that’s love brother!
I was the same, it's great to see intelligent commentary with the quality of the editing etc.
Am
Currently on the binge myself,
12:28 one of my favourite moments in movie history...it's exactly at 1hour 6mins and 5secs in the original runtime...yuppp that's how much I love this film....the direction, acting, music, editing, cinematography literally everything is top notch.
A great study
Another great pick. Love Fincher. Such an intricate filmmaker with a distinct style. It's interesting how he always uses CGI in each film but hides it really well.
Agreed! I love seeing videos dissect his way of using CGI.
Loved how you picked up on her parents narcissism & how it shaped Amy into a split personality or something like it.
The book describes how Nick had a character flaw of smiling inappropriately at the wrong time. If you know that about him, then your less likely to judge him based on that. But to anyone on the outside looking in, in the event of his wife missing, possibly murdered, that character flaw makes him look insanely guilty, not to mention his reactionless demeanor at times. So the woman that comes up to him & randomly takes a picture with him, was deliberately capitalizing on that character flaw, which she no doubt had observed. Very sinister. She had already judged him as guilty, & wanted to cement that.
The overlaying theme is of a genius level manipulative, narcissistic, psychopath/sociopath who knows how to manipulate everything & everyone around her, & a husband who was in lust or infatuation, didn't know what true love was, or how to love, how to tell the difference, & picked very poorly when it came to a spouse. They were both portraying a fake personna, to get what they thought they wanted.
But the underlying theme, is how easily the system can be controlled or manipulated if you know how, & you're diabolical enough to do it....
I remember seeing this in theaters, me and my friends had this unlimited card for this movie theatre chain and we went to 1-3 movies a week (96 showings in the 1st year) but this is one of the experiences that still stands out. What a trip. The journey it took us on. Delicious but heavy. I believe the screenplay is by Gillian Flynn, the author of the original novel. She also adapted her novel Sharp Objects into an amazing 8 episode HBO series, fully directed by Jean-Marc Vallée (Dallas Buyers Club, Big Little Lies). He creates a beautiful, haunting atmosphere through cinematography and music. Stellar cast too. Highly recommend it, either on the channel or on your own.
Hey Fay thanks for the recommendation!!
I was lukewarm on the whole reaction genre, but it's an awesome feeling watching someone truly appreciate something.
That’s awesome to hear! Yeah I’m happy to have added some value to the genre.
James VS Cinema Yeah, you definitely elevate it to something worthwhile. I look forward to your uploads.
I think on the cat appearing at random times, it's just showing how EVERYONE is observing Nick and Amy's life. No matter who it is, even a cat. Their life is under a scope
23:58 I like the look of swallowed revulsion on his face when she touched his arm.
The fact that it blew up really quickly was the writer leaning into the "missing white girl" hysteria/stereotype that media usually takes on in the states.
That's a theme that also appears in the authors other book Sharp Objects to an extent. Gillian Flynn seems to be fascinated by the way people perceive violence and cruelty based on gender, and how she doesn't just write a female villain who is devilish and evil, but they're always leaning into the poor, waify, I'm more likely to be the victim thing to get people off their trail.
Abusive and awful men and women use their power dynamics differently to abuse one another and I love the way Gillian tackles it with nuance.
Yep, the whole book and movie are about how there are certain narratives that people like to hear so the media tells them those stories over and over again, so often that someone can predict how the media and people will react and use that to make her husband look guilty.
the boxcutter scene is done to perfection in so many ways
Their relationship is infuriating on all levels lol
Worst thing is IMO, she ends up pregnant with another man's baby, who she murdered =/ And Nick has no choice but to deal with it, or look like a complete and utter scum bag, never get a job again, never have another relationship ever. She trapped him so bad :( it's really sad
@@CrazeeAdam I think it’s nicks baby since she used his sperm she saves like a psycho to get pregnant
I remember seeing this in the theater and I was blown away by how good it was. One of my favorites.
Definitely agree!!
Hell yeah! Let's get some more Fincher up in here!
You got it! 👌🏽
The part at 20:30 is where Amy realizes just how unstable Desi really is… love it. She’s like “oh crap, what have I got myself into?!”
she's an antisocial narcissist, she IS IN NO WAY "worried" about his instability. what she realizes is "oh shit. he's gonna be in my way - an obstruction to MY plans". psychopath/sociopaths *(which is actually just diagnosed as antisocial personality disorder **-BOTH-** as neither are medically recognized as a legit diagnosis themselves and are only colloquially terminology - but i digress)* DON'T possess the ability to feel fear in the same way we, without the disorder do --- and narcissists don't place worth on humans as we do. they are merely & SOLELY means to an end in their plots (pawns, if you will)
BARELY humanity in these types of "humans"
When THIS GUY says at 5:53 in an offhand way, “I wonder if she set this up herself”, I sat up and immediately was like, oh snap.
My girlfriend and I wend to the theaters to see this film after reading the book, great adaptation, we were surprised how well it translated to film, ending is different but still good
Ay that’s what’s up! Sounds like it was a good time!
ugh what a prime example of a perfect movie. Story with a perfect beginning, middle and end. Beautiful. And the soundtrack? 10/10. Cinematography? A+. Just perfect. I must have seen this movie 20+ times. I get chills every time Amy screams "Not even close! "
The book's author was heavily inspired by the Scott Peterson case in California and Ben Affleck was specifically cast because he looked like Scott. Of course the GG story went a very different way than what happened to Lacy, but it's a cool fact for watching the beginning of the story unfold.
I actually thought of this movie cause I saw a picture of Scott Peterson and thought "This guy wishes his wife was framing him"
Choosing all my favorite movies lately! This one is in my top 5, had my jaw on the floor the first time I watched it. I’m sure you know by now, but the Screenplay was done by the person who wrote the source material Gillian Flynn which I think really elevated the movie. I’m also a big fan of the score, it’s light and whispy in the happier flashbacks and then ratchets up the tension in other moments. Could talk about this movie forever, really enjoyed your reaction to it!
That’s awesome to hear Tanner! Yes the soundtrack was phenomenal in this film.
One of the reasons the script is SO good is because it’s based on an excellent novel. Most of the dialogue is directly from the original text...because the author of the book is also the author of the screenplay 👍
I love how it has so much going on. Especially the media angle. You can understand Amy even if she is a sociopath and irredeemable but you get her thoughts and motivations. You also can understand and relate to Ben Affleck. Both are flawed, Amy in a much more extreme way but still. I love the portrayal of all the armchair detectives, psychologists etc that make wild statements about the situation.
I honestly can't relate to Nick at all. He keeps doing what's easy - cheat on his wife with a very young, very impressionable woman (absolutely disgusting), spend his time at the bar instead of confronting the issues they have had for years now, using his pick-me sister to validate his misogyny("women are crazy", go said. Go didn't consider herself to be part of the category of woman). His passivity pisses me off to no end.
Obviously, what Amy does is indefensible, but the motivation behind it rings true. Nick, on the other hand, barely does anything and whenever he does do something, it's the most convenient thing for him.
Wooooow. I just can't imagine you saw one of the movies from my list the other day.💙💙💙💙
I always look out for you guys!
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo next!!
I’ll put that in a poll soon!
Got to be the Swedish version though not the Hollywood nock off
Blackwolf 121 nah man the Fincher one for sure
@@blackwolf1216 Fincher Version.
@@blackwolf1216 Yeah, the Swedish version actually understood the characters.
The experience of reading this book and getting to part 2 to find out the big reveal was an incredible experience. I think the book does an even better job of absolutely convincing you that you know what happened, and then slapping you in the face the next page.
This is easily one of the greatest films ever made!
I actually loved how you got so engrossed in the story that you didn't even get into coloring, framing, cinematography etc while watching the movie. Goes to show that if you have a great story pretty mich all you need is good actors and good editing you're good to go
This movie hits hard for me since it reminds me so much of my mother, I know its bad to talk down on one of your parents but she had a differently personality for every man she robbed and cheated, I hope no one else has to deal with such a despicable person, someone who would lie and then dispose of those unwanted and uneeded all in the name of personal gain.
I’m so sorry
Oh man I’m sorry. I guess it must also remind you of him (Nick) then. They’re awful.
I hope so, too. It's probably happening to Prince Harry, though. Tyler Perry from GONE GIRL may be the next target.
I loved how most men and women perceived this movie differently. For men it's about a crazy homicidal maniac who will do anything to achieve her ends and for women it's about a f*ckboi who gets f*ucked over by the woman he cheated on. Perceive it as you like, that's the beauty of Fincher.
I think you'll find that for most normal people, regardless of their gender, it's about two narcissists people being selfish and scummy to each other. One of them just happens to be particularly psychotic. Neither of them are "likeable" or "good" people. They kinda deserve each other.
both characters are bad but glorifying amy’s actions cos bens character cheated is dumb as shit
@@killar1one that’s not what they’re saying and I’m sorry you’re too minuscule to think farther than what you just said
You did what you came to do 😭 there’s more to the perspective of a woman than just a scorned lover but I most of us recognize that but everyone wants to look at it as just so. I feel like the author (I can’t remember her name is it Gillian or something like that?) has done many of these double sided perspectives. I love her work sm.
@@jacobjones5269 👌 here's the dissenting opinion you wanted
the sound design in the bed murder scene with neil patrick harris is so good
Another truly fantastic reaction and commentary, thank you man. Again, I really appreciate the way you've completely adapted your dialogue to accommodate certain beliefs (I only bring it up again because I can see just how much effort you’ve put into this), for now I can truly appreciate your film-making perspective without being distracted by auditory triggers that have been instilled within me. Not sure if you remember what I mean, but nonetheless, the point is that I enjoy and appreciate you giving us your insight bro. Thank you for sharing.
This movie is so cynical about marriage but if you’ve been in a bad marriage, shoot, this is true to life. Not to say it would go to the extremes of this movie but, damn, that claustrophobic dark feeling is spot on. Divorce lawyers will never go out of business.
That scene when she kills Neil Patrick Harris is to this day one of the most disturbing scenes I've ever seen in cinema
Horrifying.
Dude, I love watching you dissect movies. You’ve become one of my favorite channels to watch. You give so much insight into movies I’ve seen multiple times and give me more reasons to love them. Great job man
Hey thanks Jono! Reading these always brighten my day!
The ONLY negative thing I can say about this movie was the casting of neil patrick harris. He stook out like a sore thumb
Hahaha I can see that!
I disagree. He stood out probably because she didn't like the project he was. He attempted suicide which is something HE decided. She is all about controlling people as the rapist said, she took him on as a project and controlled him throughout. When he tried to step away, she went 'for the kill'. In that instance get him to be the rapist. Desi, beat her to the punch so she had to cut it off and move on because he tried to commit suicide...in my opinion. I think he was wonderfully cast.
Someone has been watching Chris Stuckmann.
@@Duenschissdoktor I dunno why NPH didn't fit for me. I saw him on SVU as a creepo murderer preying on women and I thought he was amazing in it. His performance really scared and stuck with me, and I'd already seen him as Harold and Kumar's legendary hilarious NPH. His vibes just not compatible with this film. Maybe it's like chemistry: some actors have on screen chemistry, some don't. NPH and Gone Girl don't have the right chemistry.
@@billyboblillybob344 He's not really a rapist if she made a false report lol.
Maybe do a deep dive on the Netflix Series "Mindhunter". Produced by Fincher, and he directed some of the episodes.
i’m hoping for a season 3!! 😭😭
I cannot tell you how long I’ve waited for a video just like this. This movie was not hyped enough and the reactions to it are little to none. You did an excellent job. 10/10
Hey man, love the channel, so fun watching you go through this cinema journey.
Man I just found your channel but I love the quality of your vids, how your react, and your general vibe. I really hope your channel grows cause you definitely deserve it.
Hey welcome to the community! That’s love my friend thank you for the words!
Love your reactions, as well as your input as a film-maker.
Ah demn. Fincher. Got couple of his movies on DVD. I do recommend listening to his commentaries, very informative and funny as well. This is a dark one, and greatly made. It's just a mean movie, most of the people are assholes or worse. Hadn't had the chance to read the book, I heard it's good.
Not gonna lie, have to say 1st, because I was ;)
Leaving a like, gonna watch it later, because busy, busy, busy, but as always great choice.
PS. American History X is another "fun" film. Great performances and a story that will break Your heart ;)
Have a great day man!
Do your thang my man! The beautiful thing about the internet is that I’m always around hahaha!
Seconding Fincher’s commentaries. They’re fun. In this one, he mentions the moment an audience of women going from supporting Affleck’s character to wanting him dead (when the affair is revealed) - all leaning back in their seats and crossing their arms.
All the twists & turns keep you on edge! I remember randomly watching this movie not knowing what it was about at all but having heard good things & was not disappointed!
The way you got involved & sucked in as the movie progressed was how I was as well lol
Right!? I had no idea what I was in for watching something like this!
exhausting is a great description. i need to watch the movie but the book... i dont think i have ever said "wtf?" audibly so many times reading something in my life.
I saw one video from you and subbed. I really enjoy just how perceptive you are, picking upon the little things and paying attention.
Many people don't seem to get that everything they see in a good film means something. Shots and character choices, none of it is without a meaning. Not from the filmmaker. A good filmmaker has a reason behind every choice they make.
You get it my friend! Thank you so much and welcome to the community!
every time i think about this movie i just think about the cool girl monologue. just iconic
Love the diary entries, the soundtrack and "colours" of the scenes, like its way too perfect, at least the first entries
so glad someone reacted to this movie! it’s one of my faves
Such a beautiful pace and the interwoven story lines was mesmerizing. Have to watch more than once
Literally one of my favorite movies in the past decade. Such insanity, changes its genres like three times. The parallels, the call backs, the music, the cinematography, the writing. Apparently the book is crazier with more that the movie left out. Just every time you think you understand where it's supposed to go, it changes pace again. I thoroughly enjoyed rewatching with your reaction. 👌👌
Gillian Flynn said that the idea for Amy was that she wanted to create a female villain that weaponised femininity in a way that defies classic female archetypes. She isn't a femme fetale, a black widow or an evil witch, but she uses the public and medias sympathies to the woman's role and these cliches as her weapon of choice. She is the ultimate chameleon. Interesting then that she is so misogynistic to other women.
This is why I love LOVE her character, I don't sympathise with her at all as she is an unredeemable monster, but I don't think there's a woman on the planet who hasn't played a different role to fit into a situation or a relationship.
Started watching you a couple days ago (binging your Daredevil videos). After watching this film I had to search it up to see what people had made about it (reactions, video essays, that kinda thing) and was really happy when you showed up.
God damn, this must be one of the best films I've ever seen. I watched Fight Club right before it and thought it was alright, but this is another level. I'd go as far as to call this film a masterpiece.
Yay, my favorite David Fincher movie!
It was a crazy ride!
"It looks like something out of a movie scene"
He says as he watches a scene in a movie.
Lol, I know what you mean doe.
The music is by Trent Reznor (of Nine Inch Nails fame) and Atticus Ross. They've done the last few Fincher films and they are always next level
I fell in love with this soundtrack!
@@JamesVSCinema Social Network is my personal favorite of their collaborations
David Fincher Is without a doubt the Hitchcock of our time 😁
I’d agree!
Beautiful choice.
Thanks to you guys and the Patreons!
I haven’t seen this movie, but after watching your reaction I will definitely be watching this when I get a chance. Thank you for another great reaction video!
You deserve so many subs and love dude your content is great
Literally watched this for the first time yesterday and was blown away 😂 jumped with shock and excitement when I scrolled down and seen this was uploaded!
Hahaha it was meant to be then!! 😂😂😂
James VS Cinema keep up the good work man!
It’s like The Hunger Games, and they’ll never get off that train.
Super fun to watch someone else have the same reactions I felt watching this years ago!
I highlyyyyy recommend to watch it at least twice. Cause I felt a lot like you at the first watch... but now - it’s my favorite movie. This is genius
i love movies, i love your interpretations. subscribed. Especially going in fresh and cold and free thinking it
ahhh glad you enjoyed it! Since you liked the cinematography, score and directing, I highly recommend David Fincher's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo! The story is so dense and it's done brilliantly
I’ll add that too the list!
Fincher The GOAT. My 2nd favourite film of all time is The Social Network, Finchers directing, the score, the writing, the pacing everything about it is near perfect. He's one of the best imo, so happy I got to experience you experience this film though, Ben affleck is serious underrated.
Man it feels good to see others appreciate The Social Network. Phenomenal film 🎞 and being from Boston makes it even more relatable
I love this movie, Amy is a phenomenal villain.
Also really enjoyed your energy, definitely going to check out your other videos
I really dig this film. I love the precision in the visual filmmaking. David Fincher is a master at that. His new film Mank comes later this year on Netflix. Can’t wait to see that. Great vid, man. Seeing you react to Boogie Nights or The Master would be great.
Agreed! Visual story-telling at its prime in this film!
James, just gotta say...I really dig your channel...I am going to have to find some obscure, beautiful films to recommend you...been going through your catalog for days. Well done, sir.
I also thought it felt like 2 movies as well. That is super satisfying when it's that intriguing for the story to keep going like that
Incredible film and reaction too! Just a fascinating look at relationship dynamics blown to absurd toxic levels here, where it's basically become a trap by the end. Loved your analysis as well, the way they media is incorporated just makes this an amazing contemporary story as well.
Agreed!! And beautifully said as well!
I just saw this movie for the first time today. It really blew my mind.
Fincher is one hell of a director.
Best reaction online this was great to see your view, felt the same way
Rosamund Pike is sensational in this. Hard to believe she was pregnant during the shoot. Great reaction again.
I just realised that it partially based on Scott Peterson case😲 especially interview and Affleck looks so much like him
an underrated one of fincher's in my opinion! I was lucky to see this in theaters when it came out and was actually, literally on the edge of my seat for at least the last half of the movie. I then went on to read the book it was based off of and i honestly think I might like the book even more so than the movie, so if you're a reader i highly recommend honestly any of Gillian Flynn's books! don't know if someone has commented this already or not, but the script here is so well done probably due to Flynn writing it herself, adapting it incredibly well from her book.
That’s awesome! Yeah I had no idea it was based off of a book!
Look out for The Game, another Fincher's movie, also very underrated
Will do Lara! Hope your day is great!
I was just about to recommend that lol
Great film. Great book. love the themes of marriage, the faces we put on, how media contorts perception. I like how none of the characters are likeable
