Jake Gyllenhaal gave a precise performance, and both his demeanor and appearance conveyed a strong feeling of "I am a pervert, but I pretend to be a normal person". This kind of subtle feeling, I have also had contact with certain people in reality, but I can't describe it accurately. It wasn't until one day that a friend described her ex-boyfriend as an "inorganic thing disguised as an organic thing" that I suddenly realized-that's it!
I once read a piece of news that a certain news anchor committed dozens of murders by himself in order to win exclusive news in order to gain ratings. Is this an extreme example of love and dedication... While watching "Nightcrawler", this news has been lingering in my mind. I wondered whether the anchor had the same fanatical and hollow eyes as Lou in the film.
At the beginning of the film, Lou tries to win a job from the person who bought his scrap. Like a repeater, he recites the self-introduction learned from online business courses, and his exaggerated words and expressions seem very funny and out of place in the late-night acquisition station. Lou's logic and thinking skills are completely okay. What's problematic is his emotional ability. He lacks emotions, and can't appreciate other people's emotional reactions. So the interaction between him and others is exactly like our junior high school math problem set formula, sometimes unavoidably using the wrong formula awkwardly. He didn't notice the contempt and disdain of the acquirer at all, and his rhetoric. The same situation happened time and time again. He met the freelance journalist for the first time, had several conversations with Nina, and his assistant Rick. Rick sometimes looked at Lou with horror. It was his instinct to warn him that something was wrong. It's a pity that he didn't realize that this "wrong" would have a devastating effect on him.
The cause of the lack of emotion is very complex, innate and acquired. If Lou is like an innate emotional lack, then Nina is an example of being squeezed out of the last trace of sympathy by the environment and career. When she saw people falling in a pool of blood on the screen, the uncontrollable excitement in her eyes made people shudder.
I often think, what is the bottom line that defines humanity? Is it the IQ superior to other species, or the empathy between humans? When a person loses all emotions and acts only in accordance with logic and purpose, does he still have the qualifications to be a human being? Once watching a science fiction film, the space station was overloaded, and it could continue to operate if some people were thrown out. Two decision makers argued over this. One of them said: "We have an obligation for humans to survive." The other said: "We have an obligation for humans to survive." What's
interesting is that many big names in the economic and political fields in history have their behavior patterns like Emotionally deficient. Emotionally deficient persons may have serious obstacles in daily interpersonal relationships, but this does not prevent them from smooth sailing in their career attempts. Because they have no distractions, their eyes are firm, and there is no moral burden in removing obstacles. They are also the easiest to become tyrants and dictators. Therefore, elections in many countries pay more and more attention to the family consciousness of candidates, which is actually very reasonable. It is difficult for a person with abundant universal emotions to become a dictator.
The recent news of the abuse of prisoners of Al Qaeda in the United States has caused widespread condemnation in their country. Some people say that this kind of condemnation is simply a woman's benevolence. It is an extraordinary method in extraordinary times. Terrorist methods should be used to deal with terrorist attacks-I cannot agree. I respect their self-reflection. I have always believed that if the price of dealing with the devil is to turn yourself into a devil, then this battle will be lost at the beginning. The bottom line of a nation represents the bottom line of everyone in it. In the face of the most evil and cold-blooded enemy, we still sympathize with human beings and respect the basic rights of the other person as a person. This has enabled the United States to preserve the personality of a great power.
As for us, if you encounter a careerist with a lack of emotion in reality, don't be foolish to negotiate interests like Rick, and go quickly-if you can, use a run.
Don't get entangled with inorganic matter, he won't hurt, but you will.
