walk in the deepest shadows

As night began to fall, a group of people in dark clothing walked out of the room with cameras, got into the car, and disappeared into the dimly lit Los Angeles. They were like a pack of starving hyenas, with glowing eyes sniffing at any possible food smell and ready to pounce on the first bite. What they want to hunt is precisely what we fear and are most interested in - they are part-time TV reporters, specializing in car accidents, kidnappings and all kinds of murders that happen around us. This group of people has a specific title: Nightcrawlers.

"Nightcrawler" is about such a group of people, and Louis is the extreme representative of this group of people. Through his story, we can learn about the familiar city and the other side of human nature, the darker side.

"Nightcrawler" is the film debut of screenwriter Dan Gilroy. After watching this film full of personality and talent, you can't wait to see his next film.

If the ironic irony and bone-wrenching noirism throughout the film were the biggest surprises of the film, the second biggest surprise was Jake Gyllenhaal who played Louis — after watching the film, Jack's slender figure, ghostly figure, green eyes that look like he's always looking for prey, and the expressionless face that always has everything under control will be deeply imprinted in your mind. . Yes, in this film, Jack gave an Oscar-level performance, and not being nominated is the collective blindness of this year's Oscar judges.

The story of the film is simple: A burglar accidentally takes an interest in news shooting, and in the days that follow, he eventually becomes a connoisseur with his eccentric talent and near-insane paranoia. But the film’s core is rich and profound: like coyotes who eat carrion, Nightcrawlers chase and reflect the dark side of our humanity and society.

How much can a man pay for the pursuit of his own desires? For Nina and Louis in the film, the answer to that question is obvious: Everything.

    The psychopath who does not run the social news is not a good racer. The role of Gyllenhaal is the most inhuman role I have ever seen. It is purely inhuman, and many contradictions are flesh and blood, and this role may be because he did not describe his past and origin, even the slightest emotion. Nothing, blackened to the extreme, like a pool of stagnant water. By the way, the news director in the film is also a lunatic, and he is a natural match with Louis.

    The JAKE drama is getting more and more popular. What is it like? It will aspire to the Oscar winner in 2 years. If I don’t get it, I will eat 3 catties.
