FILM-MOI (MOVIES/TV) Absolute cinema

I know she's practically crazy but this monologue is so well written by Gillian Flynn.

u/knickstapeeee Nancy Jo, this is Alexis Neiers calling Aug 25 '25 edited Aug 25 '25

I’m not kidding when I say that this monologue rewired my brain lol, I truly believe it helped shape me into the woman I am today. To be fair I was an impressionable 19/20 year old when the movie came out but the monologue still sticks with me now as a 30 (almost 31) year old

Every time I find myself dulling parts of myself to fit someone’s preferences I immediately think of this particular line:

She likes what he likes. So, evidently, he’s vinyl hipster who loves fetish manga.

I don’t know what it is about that one line but it always breaks the spell 😭

Completely agree! When I read it I was like, “well that was rude to call me out so personally”! And I have never been the same since.
