《消失的爱人》爱人失踪，细思极恐

The content is too vast and can be interpreted from many angles. Its like watching the movie first, then reading the novel, and going back to rewatch the movie, just to satisfy your lingering feelings. This text is a mixture of book and movie reviews.

1. Translation: The original name of the book/film is Gone Girl, which translates to "vanished lover". Its not just the person who disappears, but also the love.

2. Narrative: The story is told through alternating diaries of Nicks present and Amys past, until it reaches the day of the incident, where it then switches to Amys present narration. The first line is "Im already dead", which reveals the true reason behind Amy framing Nick.

3. Marriage: Love - Mutual resentment - Control over each other - Causing pain, this is what marriage is about. Amy pretended to be a "cool girl" to win over Nicks heart, but Nick grew tired and cheated on her. Marriage really is the grave of love. But if you think changing partners will solve the problem, you might meet someone like Desi, who is an even more terrifying control freak.

4. Family background: Nick hates his father but ends up becoming just like him, while Amy lives within the image her parents created for her. They love the Amy in the book more than the real Amy, and they want to control her.

5. Media: Albert accuses Nick of killing his wife, having an affair with his twin sister on national TV, but turns around to interview Amy about her happy life after returning. Ellen Abbott plans to confront Nick about his affair before the show, but ends up painting him as a repentant figure who deserves sympathy, and helps him regain Amys heart. The most ironic thing is the Roomba, which was originally used by Amy to frame Nick, but ended up being seen as Nicks "true love" in the mindless media.

6. Law enforcement: If Nick played the media like a drum, then Amy is a master manipulator of the police. She leads the investigation towards Nick, but then tries to absolve him of any wrongdoing later on - claiming that shes just trying to bring the truth to light. The FBI men listen to her with sympathetic eyes, while Officer Boney points out some inconsistencies, but gets dismissed as a bitter old woman.

7. Public opinion: The neighbors are brainless, as they help Amy paint herself as a beaten and pregnant woman. The girls who are just there to spectate, one says Nick is hot, while the other accuses him of being a murderer. Nick calls them "stupid fence-sitters" in the book.

Its grotesque - no wonder its considered a Valentines Day special. The conclusion is simple: dont rush into marriage, take time to weigh your options and make informed decisions. Dont seek refuge in anothers arms due to desperation - youll only make things worse. But if you never act, youll never make mistakes - do you know the answer now?
