Although girls are supposed to have sympathy for Amy, I vehemently oppose her.
[DISCLAIMER] This part is for a very brief summary of Gone girl:
Amy and her husband, Nick are both writers. They seem to be a perfect couple on the outside, but in fact, they aren’t. Some years after marriage, they gradually realize how good actors their partner is. They both pretend to be each other’s Mr. and Ms. Right, so that’s why they can’t live up to one another’s expectations in the long run. Amy turns out to be a control freak while Nick is actually a betrayal and lazy husband.
“Thanks to” Nick’s recklessness in terms of daily life, Amy creates an awesome plan for her missing, making Nick a murderer. But her attempt falls through because she is robbed of all her money. Then she takes full advantage of her old friend, Desi, who falls head over heels for her. Desi is rich and genuinely loves Amy, yet she just regards him as one of her tools to achieve what she wants. He ends up being bitterly killed by his sweetheart, Amy. Afterward, Amy comes back home, saves her husband from jail, and continues her tricky life as before with Nick. He no longer loves her.
It’s obvious that Amy is super intelligent, but I don’t think she’s that smart when it comes to romantic affairs. It’s a good idea to get divorced and free each other from an unhappy marriage, instead of hurting ourselves and others to keep the betrayal one. Everything can change. And so can everybody. Today, this person is our dear, but tomorrow, who knows, he can be our enemy? Once someone gets caught red-handed with their fault, they should be ignored and kicked out of our life. That’s my simple motto. When something or someone no longer belongs to us, it’s pointless to keep them by our side.
In general, the end of this story is a bit unsatisfying. Amy is such a cruel sociopath with no karma looking for her. What is called justice? I think the plot is just like a warning for badass husbands who attempt to cheat on their wives, and it’s not educative at all.
