Annhilation- on which page did you guys dicuss GG? Give me the number. I want to join in too. 😆

Khushi - you too didn't watch GG? Please do. 😳

Aven - hi 5! I love Ben Affleck but I have no idea why I didn't want Amy to be jailed in the end ! I know it sounds ironical but Rosamund excelled so well in that particular role that I ended up cheering for Amy, not too vocally though. 😆And they had a great chemitsry - Nick & Amy!

Nick is so like Arjun - a typical middle class, ordinary guy who always wanted an easy way and Amy was such a posh and demanding wife wanted total CONTROL.
Too bad Maya is not even a patch on Amy. Amy is so much more astute and canny.

If we're to assume that Samay cheated on Maya with someone then why and how would Samay be so obsessively in love with her (that's again considering if Samay's such a lover). It sorta negates Maya's supposed claims of infidelity in that scene where she's getting him beaten up by the cops. 🤔 Sigh. My hopes are going up, down and haywire like Elliott wave chart. 😆

I CAN'T. *cries* One, 'cause I'm really uptight about rules like you guys always say and two, I really don't like using expletives unless there's an absolute need to. Now, Amy completely deserves to be called by every expletive word there must be out there. So, I'll put that all in a pack and it'd be 🤬x1000.

OH NO WAY IN HELL! 😳 I think we are on opposite sides when it comes to GG. It's a surprise even for me that I'd pick a side of someone as low life as Nick. Trust me, I don't like him one bit but given the stories of both Nick and Amy, would you blame for picking up Nick's? Because Nick only flaw must have been that he was a freeloader and cheater. AMY? Oh my, where do I start? This is exactly what I say in Maya's case too, no matter your past and no matter who wronged you, you got no right to wrong innocents and especially NOT to this extent. Yeah, Nick was nowhere an innocent but the kind of punishment he was given for his share of crimes, like I said, death's any day better than a lifetime with someone like Amy.

Amy was not only that. She was so extremely manipulative that she cooked up stories about her own father sexually abusing her just to get Desi's sympathies. Coz she knew he had a thing for the damaged girls, he wanted to be a savior of the damsels in distress. This was never shown in the movie, but it's there in the book.

She was a psychopath right from her childhood. She accused one of her classmates of attacking her with a knife just because she defeated her in something, at school, exactly what i don't remember right now.

Coming to Nick - He, somewhere never wanted to leave Amy. He wanted a baby with her but she disapproved. That's when he moved on to that young girl.
He said once, " Amy being pregnant would have been the best thing a few years ago" after she goes missing.

Man loves a woman 🤣 dev Dick vibe.

If samay cheated on Maya what right he has to come back now and wanting her to get back? She broke up with him for some reason probably cause he did the same suicide tecnic/begging thing Maya doing to Arjun.

Here's what I thought of it.

WOAH! That's some review😆

I only liked GG for the thrill factor. I was on the edge of my seat throughout the movie. I didn't root for any of the characters but in the end, I was happy to the whining Margo crying a river over Nick's fate. The black comedic climax won me over. Nick was a bland character anyway and the only person interesting in the whole movie was Amy who's just a spoilt, over-entitled brat turned psychopath. You're supposed to watch such movies dispassionately and for fun instead of wanting to imbibea take-home message IMO.

If you want to relate to psychopaths who you can relate to at a spiritual level, watch Dexter. It's one of the best shows ever made.

Annihilation - I agree. Even I think I read somewhere that people are born with such disorders. Amy hardly had any terrible past. Yes she couldn't live upto the expectations of her parents but that's not the end of the world. She's exactly like a psychopath should be - extremely charming and highly intelligent. Any man would have died to have her unless they got to know who she exactly was.

I like Maya too as a psycho character but she's a lot more Indianized version. The terrible childhood was chipped in to have sympathy for her. They never wanted to promote her as an out and out black vamp. I don't think teh CVs can afford a balck character like Amy on prime time Indian show. On the other hand Amy gave no reason to feel anything for her, for how cruel she was but you would still see people cheering on her. Well, that's the power of a well written and well enacted character! That's why Maya is drab at times unlike Amy who is full of surprises. I don't hate Amy, the fictional character. She's definitely someone I will detest in my real life. But as a fan of thriller genre, she's one of the best written characters ever!

On Arjun - yes I agree that he's too bhola bhala to pull off a Nick but I am pretty sure his character is inspired from Nick only. But he too is Indianized and tamed down a lot.
