The truth is very expensive and often depends on criminal means to obtain

The story tells the news directors of the post-modern simulacrum society and their PUA supremacy, trying to tell us that the pursuit of the truth is only a slogan, it is potentially protected, so it is very expensive, and often depends on criminal means to obtain it.

This should be Jack Gyllenhaal's culmination since filming. This film allowed me to once again understand the internal scrolling of American journalism. This time, it is not about political shady, top-level gaming, or transnational conspiracy, but a dive into the perspective, taking place at the lowest level-crime scene interviews.

As I said earlier, the postmodern simulacra society is a sandbox filled with news, and the real world is buried under the sand. The so-called freedom of the press, from top to bottom, is more clever than whose script is. Yes, the news is even more tragic than the script.

A thief who was close to a tramp hired a tramp who was in a similar situation, grabbed food from a professional journalist, and sacrificed his life for a few hundred dollars. They accumulate little by little, and get bigger and bigger. Not only are they more efficient than their peers, even the police have to follow their buttocks and eat farts. They eat more with one fish, they can also direct events and influence public sentiment...

The most fascinating thing in the film is the tight relationship between people, showing humanity openly, without any room for maneuver. The employment relationship, cooperative relationship, relationship between men and women, and the relationship between the catcher and the object are suffocating.

There are many intriguing details hidden in the rivalry between the news hunter and the female director of the news department. Before watching this movie, you can hardly imagine a precarious homeless guy who dared to be in his PUA when he got a meager salary. The subject showed his ambition in front of the subject, and then got into an inch. PUA, a person who holds his job, is only because he can make the most accurate estimation of "value." Every time he touches a nail, he can get it back in the next similar duel. Such people are terrible. This is the truest state of people in the process of involution.

    By the way, the opening and a certain soundtrack in it are actually a bit of Twin Peaks' tune...Gone Girl's siblings, male and female evil, composing a black to the end.

    The most perverted and disgusting movie I've seen this year. . Abnormal enough to say to the men and women in the gone girl, "Let's go together"

Nightcrawler quotes

  • [from trailer]

    Lou Bloom: [repeated line] You have to make the money to buy a ticket.

  • 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.
