My two cents to the constant comparison || Gone Girl v/s Beyhadh - Page 2

Transferring all shares of Fashion & The City to Arjun was an irrational act, a wrong decision, taken solely because she trusted Arjun.

- From what I gathered, her decision of transferring the shares to Arjun wasn't an irrational act. It was an extremely well-thought, well-planned and well-executed move of hers that'd benefit only here no matter which situation came up. That's how she could rejoin F&TC, had she truly trusted Arjun, she wouldn't have set up loopholes in the documents deliberately. One thing though, Maya doesn't trust Arjun or his love at all, she has absolutely no faith in him. She never ever managed to trust Arjun, not before, not now. Had that been the case, half of her issues and problems wouldn't have existed.

- I don't think Amy began hating Nick because he couldn't accept her real personality. Amy started hating Nick because she thought he was getting lazy. Their relationship/marriage wasn't a marriage at all, it was just engineering from the moment go.

At a point of time, both Nick and Amy lose their jobs and they seem to face financial problems.

Again, not sure if I got this detail correct but didn't the movie say she purposely quit her job so that she could test her marriage and recession period made for a great opportunity to test the waters?

Delightfully marvelous comparison of both these two ladies!

Will wait for the Samay- Desi comparision!

Ps: do not miss out on the book. It's a great read.

I agree with HadhSeJyada. The movie GG leaves a lot to be desired if you've read the book already. The astounding detailing & sleek story telling are quite captivating! It makes you think hard about the story and understand both Nick & Amy's perspectives. With all due respect to Affleck, the movie Nick was quite ordinary and positively came across as a douche whereas the book Nick makes you sympathize with him despite him being a scumbag. Not to mention all the other characters, especially the detective and the lawyer were so much better sketched in the book. Some dialogues left me in awe; especially when Amy tells Nick that he would never be happy with an average Midwestern girl now that he's habituated with the challenges of having Amy as a wife. And guess what Nick also can't help and agree with her in his mind, he knows no matter what he somehow can't imagine being married to a normal girl with ordinary IQ anymore. Also Nick always felt a pang of jealousy everytime he encountered Desi for he (Desi) was everything Nick could not be - the richie rich romantic who would do anything for Amy- that side of Nick was solely missing from the movie. The movie Nick didn't even twitch his face when her ex was describing how they had sex 😆

Nick Dunne: You f**king c**t!

Amy Dunne: I'm the c**t you married. The only time you liked yourself was when you were trying to be someone this c**t might like. I'm not a quitter, I'm that c**t. I killed for you; who else can say that? You think you'd be happy with a nice Midwestern girl? No way, baby! I'm it.

Nick Dunne: f**k. You're delusional. I mean, you're insane, why would you even want this? Yes, I loved you and then all we did was resent each other, try to control each other. We caused each other pain.

Amy Dunne: That's marriage.

Hello,

Loved your post! I have watched the movie and but have not read the book. Now I want to read the book as well for in depth character analysis

Yes... Maya Mehrotra and Amy Dunnes are different except for their psychological conditions and their controlling manipulative behavior..
