This video has been popping up on my favorite blogs since last week, but I haven’t had a chance to watch it until now.
And it’s excellent. One can’t help but be utterly impressed with David Fincher afterwards.
I don’t think the average movie goer notices the things that Tony Zhou points out in the video, even when watching the same flick multiple times. (At least I don’t. Do you?)

This was super interesting, I’m passing it along to my husband as well – he’s a huge Fincher fan! They filmed Gone Girl in my town last fall, seeing Cape Girardeau on the big screen was so exciting.
