Introduction
When you watch a movie or video, you get muddled information and thoughts about the actions and conditions presented. In most cases, characters in films act in unusual ways to depict human character, community morals, justice, and injustice, among other things. Most filmmakers’ first objective is to evoke people’s imaginations when they watch their films and connect them to real-life circumstances. People engage their imaginations in generating notions of what they believe is right and bad based on their cultural concept of morals when they watch movies. The majority of the ideas go beyond the realms of justice, race, and human nature. For a proper understanding, Gillian Flynn’s film, originally existing as a book is analyzed. The film focuses on two major characters, Amy (Rosamund Pike) and Nick Dune (Ben Affleck). This paper gives the details of the film, relates the occurrences to human imagination, and uses the concepts as an explanation of human nature, race, justice and accountability.
Plot Summary
Nick and Amy are planning their fifth anniversary. When he comes home in one evening, a day before their anniversary, he does not find the finds. He is not sure of anything that transpired. He sets on a mission to look for her but gets unlucky when the police investigations link the murder to him. There are blood spots out of the house, as a pointer of a potential scuffle and use of weapons. This is worrying because in Amy’s social spheres, there was no source of threats to her life that could act as a guide on the possible mission of finding out the killer. The media is becoming attentive and visiting Nick frequently, giving the issue a serious concern. Later, Amy is found, probably sad and mad about an unfaithful husband, who is making them lose their marital paradise because of the immoral behavior a husband should not have. Late, they manage to solve the issues and come together again.
Imagination in the Film
Throughout the film, imagination is unavoidable. Nick, as he finds the wife away imagines of the possible causes of problems, the police point to him as the murderer, while the wife is somewhere, trying to frame him. Any individual in or out of such a situation must imagine the consequences of these three dependent events. The issues coming to someone’s mind are the unfortunate world and fate that can rock, unexpectedly. One imagines what methods he or she can use to solve these problems. These are from cause to effect, taking a symbolic journey from what the eye sees to what the interpretation. If one was in such a situation, it may have been different and bear different consequences.
Human Nature Portrayed
Nature of humanity comes from the film. It is not easy to forget the experiences that Nick is going through. From the day Amy disappears, most people knew the husband was responsible. It is because all the research indicated that he was the murderer. However, it becomes a different and incomprehensible story when issues emerge that the wife used the opportunity to frame him. These are not light, in the scales of moral values one should have. It is the nature of human beings to be in anger, but when it gets to this severe level to the use of illegal means as a solution, the questions about human nature comes in mind. It is unfathomable how the wife, who loved him, has stayed with him decided to harm his image. All the events were because of the imagined likelihood of infidelity. More events like their reconciliation indicate how easy it was to solve the problems, but weird ways led to problems. It shows how human beings can be irrational in their decisions at times.
Justice in the Film
Justice in the films features in the murder case. The framing, the police investigations and later the revelation of the framing by Amy are pointers to cases of injustice. The police officers are investigating the case to find who killed Amy. It is their mandate, owed to the country’s political system and governance. He is almost meeting misfortune when all indicators are that he is the murderer. It can be demoralizing and put the political regime into question if he goes to jail over the lie peddled by little investigations and overconcentration of the media on his case.
Accountability of the Characters
The issue of justice relates closely to the accountability of the characters. Nick needs to be accountable for his role in their marriage. Amy doubts the husband’s faithfulness and demands a restoration of the lost marriage paradise. On the other hand, she must account for the reasons of her invariable misconduct to betray the husband. It is natural in the current days for people to betray each other within marriage. Such occurrences in marriage are unfortunate and make their lives even more sophisticated.
Morality in the Film
Finally, the issues of morals, what is right and wrong is evident in the movie. First, if it is true that Nick was not faithful in their marriage, then it points to the first source of immoral behavior. Most cultures demand that people remain loyal to the wedding vows, and play their roles of partnerships. Amy also faces moral questions and needs some investigation over the possible conduct, which does not portray real partnership in marriage. It is unfortunate she plans to solve problems using irrational methods end up in the betrayal of a possible murder.
Conclusion
The imaginations of human beings in the issues above dwell in the good and bad. They invite feelings differently, depending on either the experience or circumstances people are in. It also encompasses the society to gauge the good and bad. The attention given to the murder case and proceedings are showing the seriousness of the problems and issues the state has for the people. These imaginations change when it emerges that it was all a revenge mission when Amy alleges the betrayal of the husband and later sets him. Variance exists on the wrong and right, analyses the conduct of the different people and creates a complicated situation for the individuals. As Flynn (2012) records, Amy and Nick are friends, which may get to a worse level if they do not solve these hazy issues facing them.
Overall Analysis
In conclusion, the story in the movie, Gone Girl by Gillian reminds most viewers of the needs for human rationalism as they handle different situations. The events range from making people imagine the changes person experiences in their environment, social setting and people close to them. Amy disappears, Nick is under investigations, but the information comes later that it was a set up by Amy. Police officers want him to take responsibility and be accountable, while Amy must also indicate the reasons for her behavior. These issues change and take different turns and twists in their portrayal of the human character and the needs for proper conduct, justice, accountability among others. Any viewer who watches the movie gets an insight and imagination of these concepts about humanity and makes a judgment of his or her own.
