My wife
and I saw Gone Girl in the movie theater and loved it. I’d give it the Oscar for best movie. No other movie is this well written and well
acted. It provides a blend of
entertainment and moral message.
In fact,
the messages are plentiful – covering marriage, infidelity, obsession, the
media, perception and appearance, the legal system, womanhood, manhood, and
family.
Not
since Basic Instinct, Fatal Attraction or The Hand That Rocks The Cradle have
we seen such a villainous, obsessed, scorned woman than the one presented in
Gone Girl. Never have we seen a setup as
big as this since Body Heat. If I just
named a number of classics from the past three decades it’s done
intentionally. Gone Girl will be such a
classic.
Based on
a book – as many great movies are -- the movie adaptation seems to do it justice
from what my wife tells me. She read the
book.
It’s
funny, you can watch the movie and tend to side with the guy – if you’re a guy -- and the woman – if you’re a woman. There
are many layers of guilt and truth to a story of betrayal, disappointment,
revenge, and redemption.
It’s a
movie all couples – married or dating should see. You’ll never think your relationship is so
bad after seeing this film – but you’ll be afraid that your relationship won't last a long time – knowing the chances that someone in it is disappointed, perhaps to
the point of desperation.
The
movie should be retitled to: “I love you, fuck you, and they ______?”
Did
You Know?
Back in
1896, National Geographic did something that seems more commonplace today –
publishing a photo of bare-breasted woman.
It would be more than a half-century later before Playboy came to be.
The
magazine began publishing in 1888 and by the next year it started to include
photographs. This year it celebrates its
125th anniversary of publishing photos – 539 of which are of
bare-breasted women.
The
magazine’s earliest mission was to “document the world and all that is in it.”
