uncontrollable paparazzi

The content of the film first reminded me of "paparazzi". The conflict between human morality and business competition and personal ambition highlighted in the film reminded me of the death of Princess Diana. The pervasive paparazzi reporter, in order to shoot an exclusive shot, actually caused a public figure with huge social energy to be killed in a car accident. It can be ironic that after the death of a public figure, the ordinary people overwhelmingly paid tribute and condemned the paparazzi, but once the wave passed, the general public began to chase the gossip of the next public figure, and began to look forward to the next round of explosive content.
At the beginning of the film, the background of the character Lou was quickly explained through some scenes. He was born on the streets and did things like robbery, but he longed to enter a stable and developing company road, but unfortunately, many parties could not enter. Therefore, when he found a crack in the career barrier covering his surroundings, lou burst out with a huge ability, in a state of paranoid and morbid, using an unscrupulous method to constantly improve his personal career to a new level steps. According to the traditional view, this person is crooked, but it can also be changed. Is there an environment for such a person to grow normally or in the sun? The TV station has clearly set up two opposing roles, a male choreographer and a female choreographer. The role of the male choreographer is to constantly ask whether it should be covered up or not, and whether this has broken through the bottom line, but the male choreographer is so powerless that he is represented by the female choreographer and director. The ratings side can easily break through. On the one hand, the police could only condemn reporters who knew that their teammates had sacrificed, but only verbally condemned them in the interrogation room, but after Lou came out of the police station, it was a smile of success that could not be concealed.
The objects and environments served by the pedestrians at night are the normal people who seem generally harmless in the sun and overflowing with benevolence and love.
The so-called uncontrollable, one refers to ambitious individuals unable to control their desire to succeed, unscrupulous, moral fall and other self-restraint mechanisms cannot work, but at best it is a point that can be accurately removed by surgery. Another one that cannot be controlled is a more general environment, one so universal, so invisible, that it feels all the more powerless.

    Four-and-a-half stars, neat and old-school book, integrating the characteristics of "TV Station" and "Photographer and His Lover". I am very ambitious. I not only want to write about the expansion of the ambitions of journalists, but also about the destructive power caused by television on human nature. This destructive power is even worse than that of gunmen. From the differences between photographers and female directors, trades and overlaps, the ratings are proportional to their respective expansions, and the characteristics and disadvantages of TV culture are fully exposed.

    If "Newsroom" is a work only seen by idealistic journalism students, "Nightcrawler" is completely the opposite. As the photographer of "Blood is Coming" is still awesome, the "Top Ten Movies and Top 10 Cities" in the "Guardian" should be written after the film is released. You can replace the adjectives of LA with this, everything about the city. All the grotesques were printed on Jack Gyllenhaal's face by the photographer.

    Rick: That's too fast.

  • Lou Bloom: You see, Rick, they've done studies, and they found that in any system that relies on cooperation, from a school of fish or say even a professional hockey team for example, these experts have identified communication as the number one single key to success.
