10 More Movie Reveals You Can Spot Early If You Really Look

10. Amy Framed Nick - Gone Girl

The Reveal

Apparent kidnapping victim Amy Dunne (Rosamund Pike) actually faked her own disappearance in order to frame her husband, Nick (Ben Affleck), for his extra-marital affair.

How To Spot It Early

Early in the film we catch a brief glimpse of Amy writing her diary, which is later used as evidence to suggest that Nick is an abusive husband and Amy is becoming increasingly fearful for her life.

We of course eventually learn that the diary was actually fabricated by Amy to implicate Nick, but in this early shot there's a fleeting, dead giveaway.

As Amy writes in her diary, several pens with their lids removed are seen at the top of the frame above the diary, because of course, Amy switched between different coloured pens while faking the diary to make it seem more believable as a detailed account of abuse over time.

If every entry was written with the same pen it might attract suspicion. Genius.
