Gone Girl (2014) Ending Explained – Why does Nick continue 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 a thing. Amy Elliot Dunne. Gone Girl’s main character and Machiavellian villain is one of the most interesting anti-heroines I’ve seen in a while.

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

Labeling the title character’s girlfriend crazy, evil, or even psychotic would be a way to hide both the character’s surprising brilliance and the intricate web Flynn has created around her.

The psychologically difficult to understand film became popular because it showed Amy Elliott Dunne’s ultimate revenge fantasy for one woman. The story is about how her husband betrayed her and she wants him to pay for it. She could have shamed him in public, told everyone about his mistress, or ruined him financially by separating from him. 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 robbed her of her hope, her pride, her dignity, and her money, and he didn’t stop until she wasn’t the same person she was before. He killed his 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 awful. He gets the idea that her personality flaws were because of them, and he realizes that she never felt emotionally validated. She thought she had to be the fake Amy, the fake Amy, to be loved and loved.

In one scene, her dad tells her to give reporters and bloggers some “Amy color” by talking to them. “People want to hear what YOU have to say,” he says. We all know that when he says “you” he’s referring to the bright and lively Amy. Nick then says, “Your parents stole your childhood,” but she tells him, “No, they made it better.”

As a child, Amy’s emotional needs were unmet, so she learned to put her parents’ needs ahead of her own. She found that when she hid who she really was and played a character, a fake version of herself that was perfect, her parents accepted and validated her feelings. Over time, the version of herself she had made up became part of herself.

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 bad marriage. At first everything seems fine, but then life starts to get in the way and problems start to appear 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 revenge on Nick, so she disappears one day and leaves behind a well thought out plan that will put Nick in jail for killing her.

What motivates Desi Collings to help Amy?

The end of the film is still, without a doubt, its best part. The ending is brutal, relentless and horribly disturbing. It will make you uncomfortable for a long time after the credits.

After her Ozarks neighbors stole her money, Amy ended up going to Desi Collings, her ex-lover, even though she had 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 abusive and that she should leave. In the meantime, Nick is in jail because they found evidence against him that was very bad. After that, he makes an emotional confession on TV to try to get Amy to forgive him.

What happens after Amy kills Desi?

Amy pretends to have sex with Desi before slitting her throat with a box cutter and fleeing. She then returns 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 put up a video and multiple wounds on Desi to make it look like she was guilty. This makes his case even stronger.

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

At the end of Gone Girl, why does Amy return to Nick?

Nick decided to join in her game and do whatever she wanted. So he pretended to be the person she thought he should be. He decided to impersonate “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 that both to congratulate her and to criticize himself. He understood that she wanted him to call her “Amazing Amy”. He knew she wanted everyone to have a good impression of her. He even says he’s a con man so he can act like the guy she wants him to be.

He says when they got married he promised to be “that guy”, the role she wanted him to play. He says that instead of doing what was right, which was pretending to be who she wanted him to be, he did what was easy, 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 come back to him. She was so enamored with Nick’s fake image that she let go of 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 says he is when he had an affair with a college student, loves his sister Margo, and is a cool, easy-going guy. Amy fell in love with Fake Nick, the hero who got things done and delivered a moving speech for his wife on national television.

Fake Amy is the kind, cute and innocent “cool girl” who is weighed down by her fame. She’s a wonderful wife, daughter, and maiden. Genuine Amy is a devious and nerve-wracking strategist who always tries to stay in the spotlight.

Nick’s relationship with Amy makes no sense.

Amy tells Nick that she came back after trying to talk to him on live TV and did it just because she wanted to see him become a man like that. She tries to convince Nick that she won’t hurt him and tells him that she wants him to take responsibility and fix the mistakes they made together.

Things get worse as Amy starts acting like the perfect wife while cooking breakfast. Nick decides to publicly shame Amy for what she did, but is shocked when Amy tells him that she got pregnant using Nick’s sperm that had been stored in a sperm bank for testing. He fights with her and tries to leave, but Amy says she wouldn’t have to tell her child to hate him if he left, so he has no choice but to stay with her.

As the credits begin to roll and they announce Amy’s pregnancy on TV, the couple continue to live their family life in the spotlight while securing a book deal, a movie deal, and a concessionaire for the Nick and Margo’s bar.

By the end of the film, they are still an odd couple that doesn’t work. They even get along in a roundabout way to stay together and continue playing Fake Nick and Fake Amy. Because of this, Nick and Amy are almost perfect for each other. They bring out the worst in each other, which makes the latest photo of Amy’s face look at Nick in a very different way.
