How Movies Inspired Me To Write

I think for me the thing that showed me how to a deeper level of fictional storytelling was when I first watched Gone Girl. Since then I've read the book, and it's fantastic, but I think David Fincher's filmography has influenced and refined my writing the most by far. To my fascination with his style, he has one that is very cold, clear, and to the point but has an unsettling underlayer. He has a great way of hiding information from the viewer that they can see fits in with the parts before the big reveals upon more viewings. I find this to be a much more intriguing way to tell a story rather than have numerous segments of mainly forgetful exposition, which is why I try to incorporate it in my writing as best I can.
