Gone Girl,<\/em> starring Rosamund Pike and Ben Affleck, is now streaming on Netflix.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n The movie centers on a woman who goes missing, and whose husband becomes the prime suspect in her disappearance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n It is about deceptive appearances and the role media plays in sensationalizing tragedy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Amy Dunne inspired a generation of women to become “cool girls.”<\/p>\n Director David Fincher released his adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s best-selling novel Gone Girl<\/em><\/a> over a decade ago, but audiences still can’t get enough of the polarizing domestic thriller. In fact, it’s gone on to develop a strong cult following.<\/p>\n The plot centers on the disappearance of Amy Dunne (an Oscar-nominated Rosamund Pike<\/a>), a woman best known as the inspiration for her parents’ beloved “Amazing Amy” children’s books. The disappearance generates widespread media coverage due to Amy’s status as a known figure, but her husband Nick’s (Ben Affleck<\/a>) perceived apathy towards the situation progressively turns him into the prime suspect and the Most Hated Man in America.<\/p>\n The movie \u2014 which recently landed on Netflix \u2014 is a sharp and surprisingly funny take on the facade of marriage, the manipulation of media, and the creation of deceptive identities, woven throughout a twisty plot that leads to a wild ending.<\/p>\n Ahead, we break down what happens at the end of Gone Girl,<\/em> why Amy went missing, and whether she and Nick were able to make it work in the end.<\/p>\nDid Amy really go missing?<\/h2>\n
