The film begins with the scene of the protagonist Lou stealing something, Gyllenhaal's face is thin, his skin is dark, and the dark circles under his eyes cannot be removed. In fact, from the beginning, he was a criminal.
He stole things, robbed security guards, and roamed around the brightly lit city doing nothing. But this person is not a gangster. Lou's room is small, but unusually tidy. He speaks politely and does not miss any job opportunities.
He is simply a Chinese-style three-good youth, a Chinese-style model of success, and every penny is spent where necessary. Neither smoking nor drinking, nor any extra hobbies. We might feel a sense of familiarity in those few conversations with his only employee. Long-winded chicken soup for the soul and exaggerated career promises, Chinese entrepreneurs also look like this.
He was not a journalist from beginning to end, he was always an unscrupulous businessman, news was just his commodity, and every action was for his own cause.
Lou is very smart and very hardworking, and such people often lack an opportunity.
If it's not a last resort, who doesn't want to be righteous and awe-inspiring? The protagonist Lou didn't want to be a thief at first. Judging from the standard job-seeking terminology and the experience he tells from time to time, he has tried many careers, but in a world of economic depression, he even has one Security can't do it.
Paranoid? But people without education and social connections, if they are not crazy, how can they be successful.
After news became a commodity, the moral question had already been answered. The truth may be important to society, but it seems irrelevant to the life of the individual.
The heroine Nina said, "His appearance has changed the industry." In fact, with the continuous deepening of the news industry, people like Lou will inevitably appear, because news is no longer the truth, but a product that can be bought and sold.
The threshold for making news is very low.
The field of literary and artistic creation has always been open to visitors, as long as you have a head, you can enter and venture in.
All you have to do is get to the scene of the accident before everyone else with your camera, and a few minutes of video can sell for thousands of dollars. The cost of seeing and seeing is only a few dozen dollars. Who doesn't want to do such a business?
The protagonist's controversial behavior may be the last to resort to any means for big news, without a person's basic morality.
People who have this kind of thinking must first understand one thing: not everyone has the conditions you have to blame others' morality leisurely.
By the end of the film, Lou is not chasing news, but trying to make news. News is no longer an accidental accident, but a product he has mastered throughout.
Lou will definitely be welcomed by the Chinese.
An unscrupulous, successful person who knows his products like the back of his hand.
Moreover, his industry has extremely low barriers to entry.
I hate people like this.
