Genre and Conventions


18, DramaMysteryThriller - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2267998/
A thriller provides the sudden rush of excitement, and exhilaration that drive the narrative, sometimes subtly with peaks and lulls, sometimes at a constant, breakneck pace. It keeps the audience on the "edge of their seats", akin to the sensation of hanging from a cliff, as the plot builds towards a climaxLiterary devices such as red herringsplot twists, and cliffhangers are used extensively. A thriller is usually a villain-driven plot, whereby he or she presents obstacles that the protagonist must overcome. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thriller_(genre)
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo - http://hclpd.hubpages.com/hub/Movies-Like-Gone-Girl
 It was fast-paced and between the two characters' point of view I started asking myself who was telling the truth? - http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/2051002-is-gone-girl-a-mystery-or-a-thriller

Representation


The most dangerous thing about Amy is that she will do absolutely anything, including lying, blackmailing, and even committing murder, to get people to submit to her. She wants to see Nick on death row for cheating on her, tries to control her neighbors at the cabin complex when she runs away, and kills Desi so she can pin her disappearance on him. - http://www.shmoop.com/gone-girl/amy-elliott-dunne.html Nick's relationship with Amy is the most critical factor in his journey as a character. Nick tells us that he initially fell in love with Amy because she was fun. She was funny. She made me laugh. Somewhere along the line, though, things changed. The laughter stopped. She got distant and moody, became a pile of skin and soul on the floor - http://www.shmoop.com/gone-girl/nick-dunne.html
