Re: spoilers for Gone Girl.

Sure there is some nuance - but then it comes down what that nuance means to you.

To me, the behavior the exhibits, creepy is it is, does not deserve to be sanctioned be death. So that is a clear "no" for me. Some for the husband, I do not believe cheating warrants being set up as a murder suspects.

I mean, you could argue that pretty much everyone is the film is an awful person - but there's levels of awful.

To me, the only reason I can sort of root for Dexter is because he actually kills mostly serial killers. I still think, in real life, even people like that deserve at trial - but in-universe, at least the "punishment" fits the crime. I think Am is a fascinating character from a writer's perspective, but I can't "root" for her, because her "punishment" is totally and grossly disproportionate for the "crime".

I wouldn't say I feel "sorry"' for him exactly, but I do feel disgust with her for killing him.

And honestly? I WAS actually rooting for her husband in the end.

Hmm, I guess, I just switched off my "sympathy" and sense of promotion and realism somewhere in the middle of the movie and watched for pure, dark thrills or whatever that was ;)

And honestly? I WAS actually rooting for her husband in the end.

Oh, me too, albeit not very strongly (but, again, like in the case of NPH, I have my buttons and when they framed him in that night night scene as a victim trapped in a house with their abuser I did feel for him for a few seconds). Especially considering that the film gives you a slightly more positive view of him than the book (lack of his monologues helps a lot)- in the book his final decision to stay showscases a bit better just how much he likes himself in the "Amy's version", how much he can't imagine living with a "normal" woman who wouldn't love him "like that" and just how much he is ready to sweep under the carpet in the end. (I read the book after watching the film, my perception shifted slighty due to that, I guess)
