Gyllenhaal, who had lost 30 pounds, squinted like a lone vulture, sniffing all kinds of news of disaster for his own benefit in the steel jungle. He is smart, learns all useful knowledge from the Internet, and uses company management, market operations and even psychology with ease. Those eyes that barely blinked, could not see the bottom line of emotion, shame and normal people. Such an abnormal person has become the shining protagonist of the whole film, and the driving force behind the scenes is the increasingly degenerate journalism.
In the Korean drama "Pinocchio", it said, "Will the magic that can be deceived from the sky become a miracle, and the lie that can be deceived can become the truth?". The answer is yes. Journalism is constantly breaking the moral bottom line, and the pursuit of pornography, blood and violence is like Faust who deals with the devil and feeds scavengers in the middle of the night.
In modern society, the right to speak and monetary interests make people ignore morality and indifference to human nature. As the "conscience of society", the media, driven by interests, lost their bottom line and became an accomplice of evil. In fact, every one of us who watches violent news is also an indirect participant in evil. Because of our onlookers, a huge breeding farm is formed, feeding these night walkers like scavengers.
Ps: This film is Gyllenhaal's best performance so far, bar none.
