(Research) Assignment 6 - Madness & Paranoia - Individual Research #6 - 'Gone Girl'

     I watched the trailer/clips for 'Gone Girl'.





Analysis:
       
       From the trailer and clips, I learnt that:
  • the motive conveyed is that the protagonist is psychologically and physically manipulated while he is convicted of something he didn't do.
  • the protagonist's aim is to find out who is manipulating him and why he is being framed.
  • The antagonists mannerism suggests that he/she is tactical, smart and educated.
  • Fear of the protagonist portrays regret for things he didn't do and he is also accused constantly.
  • The way the protagonist's relationship with his wife has affected what the consequences were.
  • The audience must persistently question if he did or did not kill his wife.


beginning suggests that they have had a long lasting relationship but the narration suggests otherwise as she says "..the most hated man in America." This could mean that she is looking back at memories.

Evidence examined by police makes the crime look obvious - positioned in a way in which its thrown.

Arguements with the people he cares about, losing the people he loves, no one is believing his perspective.

Connotes a possible antagonist which contradicts the shouting between them, and the suspicious looks they give each other - builds a narrative enigma as to who is behind the crime and who is the culprit.

Arguing in the beginning portrays that 'Nick Dunn' is the culprit and the obvious criminal but another scene after: "I did not lay a finger on her" contradicts this scene as he is seen as aggressive - conveys that someone is framing him for the person he's become and as a result he's a hated man.
