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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Glad I'm not the only one who burst out laughing when she pulled that dramatic ass pose in the ending 😂

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
Glenn Close and Sharon Stone would be proud
Watching this movie in a sold out theatre was such an experience. Such a crazy/great movie
Tyler Perry is really good as the slick lawyer type.

@OdyBlack-y3r not what I said at all. Have a good night

If I were Nick I would enjoy those 2000 thread count nights with a baddie and sleep with one eye open
Check out Rosemund with Christian Bale in a western called Hostiles. Incredible movie!!!! Incredible, gorgeous actress!
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.
"what you got me watching dog" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Tyler perry is so good in this and so random too
Hoping Leo gets some good exposure here! His reactions are great!!
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
Imo underrated movie
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.
Such a great movie
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.
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...
Watching this in the current climate, it feels like a documentary
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.
Genuinely one of my favourite films of all time I love how meticulous and evil and crazy it is
MY Hero won lol
You know how to do a reaction. You showed almost every reaction.
This movie is crazy!!!
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
Check out Linda Florentino for another femme fatale
Ugh
Movie is Last Seduction
💍Please react to 'Sleeping with the Enemy' 1991

Next gotta be girl on the train
Amy with this old southern money accent at a cash only roach motel is just comical - book smart yes, street smart no
I've been married for 26 years and both me and my wife don't know each other's blood type.
Beware the unreliable narrator...
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.
😂😂😂

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

@bigboycombo6342 1 million percent facts. Gotta keep it in the news.
Happy she is ok, btw 🙏
