Prince of Persia, you are black

I had nothing to do on the train, so I put it to watch, and the person sitting next to me watched it together. She kept praising how well American movies were made after Jack spoke, probably because of some workplace values ​​that made her "inspired", after all Before watching the movie, she was holding the book "Learning Logical Thinking in Five Minutes" in her hand.
What I want to say is that this film does make people think a lot, and the most obvious thing to express should be the common problem of the news media nowadays, news value is greater than morality, media people have long been lost, and ratings dominate everything. It is because of the current society that the reports you see on too many things are not based on facts, and the sense of trust in the media will be unprecedentedly lacking. The journalists also put aside their humanity and morality for the sake of their future. The whole society laughs at the poor but not the prostitutes, and the media people will rightly ask: Why do we have to be laughed at when we are poor for morality?
I have always thought that being a news media should be a solemn and sacred thing, but now, ideals, morals, professionalism and standards are all shit. In fact, they are no different from white-collar workers who sweep the streets and are just eating.
This film is too dark, and even the ending with the eyes of the new employee with expectations and dreams at the end only further contrasts and deepens the darkness of the film.
To be honest, watching such a film makes me feel uncomfortable, and the negative image of Jack is also very annoying, but I am not willing to deduct points for it. Don't comment on me, I complained after reading it, and I couldn't write a short comment.
Oh, by the way, I want to give a big thumbs up for the lack of strong sex scenes in this film, but in the back of Nina's rage when Jack didn't come up with a good video and Jack's inch after taking out a good video, it can be seen that the two have already happened. relation. Obviously the director is still very stylish.

    The script is written so neatly and skillfully, almost directly from McGee’s book: everything starts and turns smoothly, all contradictions and causes and effects are laid out in an orderly manner, the bright buttons and the dark buttons are well-arranged, and the characters are portrayed Predictable "ingenuity", so-no surprises at all. Isn't it necessary to watch a movie to have a little fun and feel the unexpected joy, instead of a very round story?

    1. The plot is very mellow, and the beginning and the transition are almost dripping; 2. The middle rhythm is a little bit dragged, but considering the waves of climax and the construction of the slight flaws can be ignored; 3. Gyllenhaal performed that kind of paranoia and neuroticism very wonderfully , Can be regarded as the best performance so far; 4. The assistant character is shriveled and pale; 5. The ending is beautifully black, and slightly less clean. Overall 4.5 stars, highly recommended.

    Rick: Okay. Well, I'm Rick, of course. I took three buses to get here. I finished high school. I need a job. I'll do just about anything. That's me. Hire Rick.

  • Lou Bloom: Bloody?

    Nina Romina: Well, graphic. The best and clearest way that I can phrase it for you, to capture the spirit of what we air, is think of our news cast as a screaming woman running down the street with her throat cut.

    Lou Bloom: I understand.
