Fortunately, the protagonist of the film lived many years ago. At that time, the collection of images still relied on portable cameras, instead of the era when anyone can take out a mobile phone and record everything that is happening in front of them immediately. The protagonist of the story: Lou Bloom shows off his speculative expertise, breaks into the night-shrouded city, the dangerous and exciting "night" world, and pursues the first scene of violent crime in this perilous world. , Using people’s pursuit of violence, blood, truth, and excitement to win headlines in the media and profit from it. In the process, he, who had long been morally corrupt, repeatedly refreshed his bottom line, and then gradually became an industry hegemon from a idle gangster. A real story of unscrupulous headlines in the night begins.
A young man who lives on petty thefts all day long and idles, finds by chance that, in the TV news broadcast every morning, the pictures of the most watched violent cases are very profitable. Fighting against the camera and driving the police-specific FM, various police codes and codes are memorized. Whenever a major violent incident occurs, Pegasus rushes to the scene immediately, and strives to record the scene of the case before everyone arrives. The more bloody, more violent, the more exotic, and in order to negotiate a good price, gradually ordinary cases and ordinary scenes can no longer satisfy his increasingly greedy heart, so he completely crushed the morals and began to destroy the scene of the case and conceal his hands. And use the evidence to create violent cases again, and once again capture even more explosive scenes. When the TV station, the police, and the criminals were all played by him, and when his partner became the bloody material of the hot pictures, he achieved the greatest success and became bigger and stronger in one fell swoop.
This is an unusually true story that makes countless viewers recall and shock through what it feels to be happening around you, and at the same time, it is an extraordinary variety of absurdity, shamelessness, and even saying that it tramples on people's morals and refreshes the bottom line. The heinous behavior is undergoing a powerful trial. Through the screen, the director sneered at the evil deeds shown by human beings in front of prestige and wealth. And in this ruthless revelation and criticism of the so-called "successful people", in this compact and ingenious story, the hero Jack Gyllenhaal successfully showed the protagonist of the film to the audience. It can be said that this film is not as majestic as "The Day After Day", nor is there the kind of brain-burning excitement that "Source Code" brings, but it brings him himself since the blockbuster of "Broken Arms". Another new height of the film, he perfectly interprets this role, adding a finishing touch to an already excellent film.
