From the beginning of the film, we clearly felt people’s contemptuous attitude towards the protagonist Lou. Although he was slick and diligent, he still couldn’t find a decent job. Everyone looked at him lazily and even more sparingly. Even with a good word, Lou seems to have gotten used to it, not only doesn't he care, but he happily goes everywhere looking for opportunities. In this black film, we see Los Angeles as an indifferent, cruel, and numb society. Everyone has their heads sharpened in order to survive and climbs up on others. They are sucked blood and desperately yearning. Sucking blood, in this, in addition to benefits, there are benefits. A person’s life means his own interests.
I don’t want to comment on what Lou did. He is just another indifferent, cruel, and numb self-interested person. From start to finish, he doesn’t feel that he has done anything wrong-this shows his psychological distortion and perversion, but it does not mean that he is a Madman, Lou is well aware of the hypocritical values of society, so he can make up a set of completely reasonable nonsense in front of the police, and his plan to facilitate the crime scene has not been revealed to anyone other than his assistant. Lou is like a god of death. Wherever he goes, he is full of death, murder, blood donation, and disaster. While recording these crimes, he has gradually become a fugitive criminal in reporters’ sheep’s clothing, and the one who committed the crime with him is All the people who make and watch crime reports. Everyone is alive in their hearts, and they will bargain perfidiously like Lou's assistants for profit, threatening them, and whoever laughs to the end can only see who is more cruel. Why can Lou still stand in front of him with the camera calmly after the murderer shot his assistant? Because he is not afraid of death at all, and can save everything for his purpose, including his own life. At the end of the film, Lou said to the new employees who put on the team uniform: I will never let you do something I would not do. Haha, because there is nothing he dare not do. From a personal entrepreneurial point of view, Lou is a diaosi boss destined to succeed. He is paranoid, diligent, brave and desperate, haven't we already learned from Jack Ma?
Journalists need to use bloody and violent racial conflicts to attract eyeballs and stir up troubles to win ratings. Parasites need to look forward to crimes or even commit crimes to get paid, and audiences need cruel reality to remind themselves that they are alive and thrilling. . Who is to blame in such a vicious circle? Not a TV station, not Lou, not the people, but everyone's uneasy human nature: we need evil to illuminate the light.
