There is no shortage of actors in Hollywood who are willing to kill themselves.

From the most famous "transformation artist" Christian Bale in recent years to the role of Matthew McConaughey who lost 13 kilograms due to drug use and AIDS (hey!), as well as this one of us who gave up completely The image of a nightcrawler-Jack Gyllenhaal who does not seek treatment.

However, the sacrifice will always pay off. Bell, who was slender in 11 years and won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor by "Fighter" in 11 years, won the best actor nomination for "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​after being fattened in 13 years; Matthew · McConaughey relied on "Dallas Buyers Club" to become the Oscar winner overnight, and this year he continued his good momentum with a topical work "Interstellar"; and Jack Gyllenhaal's thinness made people Amazing-he is not as stylish as he used to be, but he obviously does a lot more than before!


Gyllenhaal, who was slender and unrecognizable, used his eyes to provoke most of the despicable plot needs in this almost one-man show. What impressed me most was the last section where rick was "enlightened" in the car-in the narrow and dark space, only his eyes were deeper than the Persian cat. The shocking impression at that moment is no less than the special performance of the computer. The top horror atmosphere.

Jack Hall said that his perseverance to lose weight comes from "loving this movie." After this name has long been dubbed the "Prince", he finally got rid of the shackles and shadows of his exquisite appearance, elite background and all the misfortunes he has encountered in the past, and he has an upright masterpiece.

This critical transformation makes Jack Gyllenhaal's future even more exciting. After all, this actor with amazing explosive power and plasticity is only 34 years old.

Nightcrawler quotes

  • Rick: Hey man don't film that, he's one of us

    Lou Bloom: Not anymore, Rick, we're professionals, he's a sale

  • Lou Bloom: I'm a hard worker. I set high goals, and I've been told that I'm persistent. Now, I'm not fooling myself, sir. Having been raised with the self esteem movement so popular in schools, I used to expect my needs to be considered. But I know that these days, our culture no long caters to the job loyalty that could be promised to earlier generations. What I believe, sir, is that good thinks come to those who work their asses off. And that people such as yourself, who reached the top of the mountain didn't just fall there. My motto is, if you want to win the lottery, you have to make the money to buy the ticket.
