Watched another good movie, "Nightcrawler". Look at the name like a boring hero to save the world, right? He is really saving the world, but he is a hysterical ordinary young man from beginning to end. From being a thief to becoming a successful TV journalist, he has a bizarre ascent process without any super power. Referential "rules of success". I was once again amazed by the carefulness of Hollywood's observation of the current society. To be precise, the protagonist has gotten into a seemingly high social hierarchy, but he is not as lost as in "The Aviator" or "The Wolf of Wall Street", maybe it's just not that far. The protagonist seems to be still consciously maintaining his goal on the verge of losing control. This goal is not correct, just, but realistic, material, and selfish, but it also conveys a message: this society is becoming less and less. Pure justice and evil too.

    The film pattern is not big, but Jack Gyllenhaal has given the character extremely high charm through the amazing performance. This is not a crime film, this is an inspirational film. ★★★★

    Mavericks, the script is so cold to the end, Gyllenhaal's performance perfectly interprets the acceptability and the incitement of success, the new generation of lower class young people with corrupted conscience, and the gentle and paranoid eyes are full of mockery. The lens language is also very flavorful. It's a pity that I didn't win the prize.

Nightcrawler quotes

  • Lou Bloom: What if my problem wasn't that I don't understand people but that I don't like them? What if I was the kind of person who was obliged to hurt you for this? I mean physically. I think you'd have to believe afterward, if you could, that agreeing to participate and then backing out at the critical moment was a mistake. Because that's what I'm telling you, as clearly as I can.

  • Lou Bloom: Remember, use your zoom, steady hands.
