Why was this so good?

Robert Downey's Bunior's character had no reason to be in the movie, and it is vague to the point of stupid why he became an alcohol.

Because Fincher is autistic

Its based on a true story dick head, his character is a real journo
>it is vague to the point of stupid why he became an alcohol.
His alcoholism is not the main story and was never meant to be

Go be a pleb somewhere else mate

because Fincher is a talented director and the lake scene more than proves it.

So, I love Fincher, but is Gone Girl any good? I can't stand husbands and wives pissing and moaning at each other, but his filmography gives me hope.

> focus is just on the case; no distractions
> not really about the people IRL
> recreates the fear of the time
> great cinematography and good paced editing

It's a 6/10. se7en, gone girl, and the girl with the dragon tattoo are all infinitely better

as usual he elevates the material and makes it much better than it deserves to be. He also somehow manages a great performance out of Tyler Perry which is an amazing feat in itself.

this. the madman actually used a helicopter to fly in trees from Lake Beryessa to the location for authenticity, he pretty much rented out a whole office building, with multiple floors dedicated solely to going over evidence, testimony, and case files. He even noticed when Jake had a ballpoint pen in his pocket in one scene, stopped rolling, and told him to get rid of it because it wasn't period accurate
