Originally, I wanted to write the title as "I'm afraid that a madman has a culture", but then I thought about it, the concept of a "lunatic" is actually not suitable for the male protagonist.
If you want to find a classic madman in film and television works, it should be Anjiahe in "Don't Strangers".
The concept of a "lunatic" is that his judgment of things has become chaotic. The more restless he is, the more chaos he will create, because only when chaos is he will he feel safe.
But "paranoia" is different. The paranoia is also uneasy because of insecurity, but his chaos comes from the fact that what actually happened does not conform to the order he stipulated, so he will be calm to correct the chaos, until everything is step by step according to himself Only when his thoughts are in order will he feel safe.
A madman has no logic, he is chaos.
But the paranoia has logic, and his logic is still very strong.
For example, An Jiahe would only beat his wife and say "You bitch! You bitch! You bitch!"
Ding Xie would say "I treat you so well, I have done so much for you." Why are you still doing this to me? Are good people destined to be bullied? I kneel down for you! I hate you, and I want revenge! You don’t know what’s good or bad, I’m going to kill you!” It
’s more logical and obvious who is more logical. .
Pulling away.
The hero of "Nightcrawler" looks thin and a bit sick. Although his eyes looked a little weird because they were too white and too big, his eyes were always calm, like a lake with a crescent moon. When he started speaking, he spoke very fast and used very special words, not like spoken words, like the utterances of actors on a stage play, full of dramatic ups and downs. When he was ready to do something, he was like a poisonous snake in a state of preparation, his eyes were like torches, ready to go.
This is a paranoia.
The scariest thing in this world is that paranoia has dreams.
When the male protagonist decided to take the crime scene video and sell it to the TV station to get paid as his life career, he had already figured out his own way of living. From the time he started stealing and selling cars, and raising money for cameras, he had already figured out how to go every step of the way, the bottom line of his own disadvantages, and the unlimited upper limit of his own advantages.
I like to watch the drama of the male protagonist every time they bargain with others. He will never be angry, will not be impulsive, will not be lost. He used the most precise and exact vocabulary in his light tone, and plunged into the softest heart of the negotiating party with the sharpest bayonet. There seems to be no business in this world that he can't negotiate. Whenever you feel that you are about to suppress him, he can always make another strange offer and make you have to fall into his trap. In this way, he realizes his dream step by step, stepping on the dignity and failure of others, and using his own strong logic to infringe every collaborator, victim, filmed person and other people involved in it.
Living for dreams is always full of passion, even if the dream seems unbearable.
The film tells the story of the male protagonist in order to get the shooting of the crime scene, and the media and media people are naturally criticized. The deliberate creation of alarmist news in order to gain attention is already a common problem in the media all over the world, and this behavior has been despised by countless people. However, this phenomenon is not decreasing but increasing, and the reason is nothing more than the inability to defeat the powerful curiosity and profit drive of mankind. Although alarmist news can cause unease to viewers, it can attract the attention of the public without fail. The attention of the people, the ratings of TV stations, and the number of clicks on online media are all the wealth that lies ahead. As long as you can make money, the lower limit of the media can be lowered again and again. But if you prosecute the original sin, it is difficult to tell whether it is the fault of the media or the audience.
"Nightcrawler" gives a unique perspective: the audience, the direct responder to sensational media reports, did not appear in the movie from beginning to end. As the protagonist of the unscrupulous video shooter, the reasonable explanation for himself is: I am just trying to do my job well.
When various victims appear because of the shooting of real news footage, can you say that the male protagonist violated the law? no. But can you say that the male lead has no responsibility at all? can not. This character wanders on the edge of morality and law, challenging the audience's bottom line time and time again. This is the logic of the paranoid.
He monitors the police's call channel. He can say that it is to collect work material. If there is no interference, it is not a crime. If the camera is stretched in front of the victim to shoot, he can be said to restore the real scene. The police can only verbally reprimand him if he is unhappy with him. , There is no way to arrest him; shooting at the victim’s home, theoretically, he did not interfere with any judicial execution, but morally speaking, he was disrespectful to the dead; you deliberately chose the time and place to call the police in order to shoot the shootout. You can neither say He is an accomplice, nor can it be said that he is a criminal, nor can it prove that he is the initiator of the event; even the death of his partner, you cannot have enough reason to explain that it was his design. Because everything happens on the boundary of probability, all of this is of course carefully designed by him, but when we think in accordance with his logic, where can we find faults?
Jack Columhull gave an Oscar-level performance. He thinned himself into the shape of a wealthy wolf, and acted as a paranoid walking in the dark with an "unblinking" performance. .
At the time when the film was released, the Shenzhen Daily reportedly sneaked into the ward in order to film Yao Beina's body as a doctor. In fact, there are many good themes that can be dug into our country that can be made into realistic movies, but it is a pity that they are not allowed to be made.
Another: The film, "The Vanishing Lovers" and "Burst Drummer" are also known as the "trilogy" of this year's Oscars. It provides everyone with a closest lover, the most harmonious mentor, and the purest colleague.
Rating: 85 points.
Comprehensive evaluation: The whole film has a tight rhythm and there is no extra procrastination, but the storyline is too "designed". Every time the burden is shaken out, the audience can almost guess the ending, no Any surprises. The only biggest highlight is the performance of the male protagonist. Basically every scene with a male lead is worthy of your recollection. The layout is too small and the plot is slightly weaker, so it's no wonder that I missed Oscar.
