Gone Girl (2014) Ending Explained – Why is Nick continuing his relationship with Amy?

Gone Girl plot synopsis

Gone Girl is considered one of the darkest films ever made, and the main character is more than one thing. Amy Elliot Dunne. The Machiavellian protagonist and villain in Gone Girl is one of the most interesting anti-heroes I’ve seen in a long time.

The 2014 psychological thriller Gone Girl, based on a book by Gillian Flynn, was directed by David Fincher. The modern mystery follows Nick Dunne, played by Ben Affleck, who is the prime suspect in the disappearance of his wife Amy, played by Rosamund Pike.

To label the main character’s girlfriend as insane, evil, or even psychotic would be a way to hide both the character’s surprising brilliance and the intricate web Flynn has constructed around her.

The psychologically difficult film became popular for showing Amy Elliott Dunne’s ultimate revenge fantasy for a woman. The story is about how her husband cheated on her and she wants him to pay for it. She could have shamed him publicly, told everyone about his mistress, or ruined him financially by breaking up with him. Amazing Amy’s only other choice was to fake her own death and blame it on her husband.

In the end it was the ideal crime. Nick stole her hope, pride, dignity and money, and he didn’t stop until she wasn’t the same person she used to be. He murdered her alter ego. “Amazing Amy” had been killed by him.

How is Amy’s character influenced by her childhood?

Nick tells Amy that her parents are terrible. He gets the idea that her personality flaws stem from this, and he realizes that she’s never felt emotionally validated. She thought she had to be the wrong Amy, the wrong Amy, to be liked and loved.

In one scene, her father encourages her to give reporters and bloggers some “Amy color” by talking to them. “People want to hear what THEY have to say,” he says. We all know that by “you” he means the bright and lively Amy. Nick then says, “Your parents stole your childhood,” but she tells him, “No, they did better.”

As a child, Amy’s emotional needs weren’t met, so she learned to put her parents’ needs ahead of her own. She realized her parents accepted and validated her feelings as she hid who she really was and played a character, a fake version of herself that was perfect. Over time, the version of herself she had created became a part of her.

Why does Amy want to punish Nick?

The film tells the story of Nick Dunne and his wife Amy Dunne’s difficult times in their troubled marriage. Everything seems fine at first, but then life gets in the way and problems show up in their relationship and in their own lives.

Nick cheats on Amy when they were struggling to make ends meet and stuck in a bad marriage. Amy wants to get even with Nick, so one day she disappears leaving behind a well thought out plan that will land Nick in jail for killing her.

What motivates Desi Collings to help Amy?

The ending of the movie is still without a doubt the best part. The ending is brutal, relentless, and terribly disturbing. You’ll be uncomfortable for a long time after the credits roll.

After her neighbors in the Ozarks stole her money, Amy eventually went to see Desi Collings, her ex-lover, despite having a restraining order against him.

Desi wants to get back together with her so he agrees to take her in after she convinces him that Nick was violent and she had to leave. Meanwhile, Nick is in jail because they found evidence against him that is very bad. Afterwards, he makes an emotional confession on TV to get Amy to forgive him.

What happens after Amy kills Desi?

Amy pretends to have sex with Desi before slitting his throat with a box cutter and running away. She then goes back to Nick with Desi’s blood all over her. She says that Desi kidnapped and raped her, which was confirmed by the fact that Desi’s sperm was found inside her. She also set up video and multiple injuries to Desi to make it look like she was guilty. This makes her case even stronger.

The FBI has no choice but to believe her, even though the lead investigator, Detective Rhonda Boney, is smart and questions all the loopholes in her story. When she returns home, she and Nick lie about being the lovers everyone thinks they are.

Why does Amy return to Nick at the end of Gone Girl?

Nick decided to join her game and do whatever she wanted. So he pretended to be whoever she thought was right. He decided to pose as “Amazing Nick” to bring her back because it was better than dying. Nick said in the interview, “I was a bad husband to a great woman.” He said this to both praise her and criticize himself. He understood that she wanted him to call her “Amazing Amy.” He knew she wanted everyone to get a good impression of her. He even says he’s a cheater so he can behave the way she wants him to.

He says when they married he promised to be “that guy,” the role she wanted him to be. He says that instead of doing the right thing, which was pretending that she was who she wanted him to be, he did the simple thing, which was being himself. The irony is that it’s easier to pretend to be someone else than to be yourself.

She wanted him to be as perfect as she was. Nick had become a stranger to her. She was used to a certain version of him, but he was slowly becoming himself, and she says he turned into someone she didn’t want to marry.

She changed her mind during the interview and decided to go back to him. She was so in love with Nick’s fake picture that she gave up her revenge fantasy and tried to get back together with him.

In the film, Nick and Amy have two different sides.

Nick is who he pretends to be when he was having an affair with a student, loves his sister Margo and is a laid back, laid back guy. Amy fell in love with Faux Nick, the hero who got things done and gave an emotional speech for his wife on national TV.

Faux Amy is the nice, sweet, and innocent “cool girl” weighed down by her fame. She is a great wife, daughter and young girl. Real Amy is a nerve-wracking, devious strategist who’s always trying to stay in the spotlight.

Nick’s relationship with Amy doesn’t make sense.

Amy tells Nick that she came back after he tried to talk to her on live TV and that she only did it because she wanted to see him become such a man. She tries to convince Nick that she won’t hurt him, and she tells him that she wants him to take responsibility and make up for the mistakes they made together.

Things get worse when Amy starts acting like the perfect wife by making breakfast. Nick decides to publicly shame Amy for what she did, but he is shocked when Amy tells him that she got pregnant with Nick’s sperm, which was kept in a sperm bank for testing purposes. He fights with her and tries to leave, but Amy says she doesn’t have to tell his child to hate him if he leaves, so he has no choice but to stay with her.

As the credits roll and Amy’s pregnancy is announced on TV, the couple continue to live their family life in the spotlight while also earning a book deal, a movie offer and a dealership for Nick and Margo’s bar.

At the end of the film, they are still an odd couple that doesn’t work out. They even agree, in a roundabout way, to stay together and continue playing Faux Nick and Faux Amy. Because of this, Nick and Amy are almost a perfect match. They bring out the worst in each other, resulting in the final shot of Amy’s face looking up at Nick in a very different way.
