Decent Essays
The 2014 David Fincher film Gone Girl is based on the 2012 novel Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. Gone Girl is about a husband, Nick Dunne, who is now suspected of killing his wife Amy Dune and now that his innocence is being question; the community and world now turns their attention on him. The movie has a combination of mystery, thriller and horror. Gone Girl did not deviate from the form of the genres. For example, the mystery of what happened to Amy Dunne and the horror of the crime scene that was found created a sense of suspicion where the viewer thought that maybe a husband could really kill his wife. Furthermore, the movie sticks with what the genres mean. Being that the film is a novel, the actors that play the characters have to fulfill

    The deviation from genre conventions is why this movie gets such a positive review from the critic. The movie seems familiar yet totally different at the same time. It follows some of the genre conventions like the plot and setting but it truly makes its mark as a film with the way it is different from anything that has ever been put on screen before. Martin Scorsese’s innovation in the way he makes the actors behave in certain ways or uses the silence to add a dramatic effect shows that by not following genre conventions you can still end up making a film that is a commercial…

    My mother did not appreciate the movie Get Out; she felt that it was a deeply upsetting and disturbing movie. I believe that was the point of the movie, to be upsetting; it is a refreshing movie that flips the thriller genre on its head. One example of this subversion is Rose; her characterization destroys the concept of “the girl next door”, confronts the idea of the post-racial lie, and forces the audience to reflect on their actions and beliefs. Rose’s appearance plays a critical role in how the audience perceives her. Her design is intentional.…

    The Goddess (1934) is a silent film made by Wu Yonggang, a well-known Chinese director in the 1930s. Hailed as “a masterpiece of ‘the first golden age of Chinese cinema’”, the film marked not only Wu’s directorial debut, but also “the pinnacle of [Ruan Lingyu’s] career” (Harris, 128). Ruan’s “mature, nuanced performance”, which was “subtle but at the same time powerful and rich”, proved to be a major factor in the movie’s success and lasting impact in Chinese cinema – even inspiring Hong Kong director Stanley Kwan to produce Centre Stage (1992), a biopic of Ruan, over fifty years later (Harris, 128; Rayns, 18). This response will examine and show how the depiction of Ruan Lingyu by male directors in both The Goddess and Centre Stage make use…

    And this is exactly the highlight of the film——lets the audience to stand in different angles to consider the issues of marriage and gender. As Morris (2014) claims “By turning cinematic gender stereotypes on their head, Gone Girl just might be asking us to examine our world and our own expectations.” By considering the different interpretations from perspectives of Nick and Amy respectively, the twisty marriage between them seems murky but fascinating. Excellent story, detached editing, perfect performance and thrilling background music —— they combine to make Gone Girl a…
