Wang Dazhui has a classic line in "Unexpectedly": It won't be long before I get a promotion and a salary increase, become a general manager, become a CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of my life. Watching a low-level little guy happily daydreaming can at least make the audience laugh. In life, we don't want everyone to be a realist, recognize the reality, and succumb to it, and occasionally want to. Seeing those people who are walking with some unrealizable dreams, maybe we ourselves are in a state of half-dreaming, occasionally dreaming, and occasionally complaining about life.
"Unexpectedly," with King Sledgehammer, is a comedy drama, and "Nightcrawler" with Louis Bloom is a dark drama. I will no longer think that Wang Dazhui wants to reach the peak of his life as a joke. Also as a low-level person, Louis Bloom is not as good as Wang Dazhui. He relies on stolen things in exchange for some money to obtain the most basic survival. . Even if no one is willing to offer him a job, even if they all look at him with contempt, he won't care, he has his own "kingdom".
I always feel that louis has a feeling of being out of place with this world. Later, this feeling became more and more obvious, and the more I got to the end, the more I felt that he was inhuman, without emotion, and cold-blooded to the core. You see how sincere he pretended to be at the beginning, he wanted a stable job, he marketed himself to anyone who could be his boss, he was a hard worker and hard worker, he taught himself a lot, management, marketing And so on, it's straight-forward, it's even neater than a book, it just feels like reciting the text.
It is really a poor person. At that time, I felt that a marginal person in society did not want to be abandoned. Although he was out of place, he tried his best to integrate into it. Because he wanted to integrate, he had to learn a lot of rules, figure out people’s hearts, and be tactful. , to meet in due time. When I wanted to put in a little sympathy, I found out that louis doesn't need it. He is too smart and has learned the complex interpersonal communication in society so well that everyone is his target.
If at first, I thought he was holding a small DV, patted randomly, but hired a small follower, saying how his company is, how it will be in the future, and what he wants his employees to be, it would be a joke. We know how the movie will develop, and know that louis will succeed, but we are just curious about how he succeeded. Until the end, although we don’t agree with his method of success, we can’t say that this is not a way. Even if we don’t know it, we still believe it. There are many, many people in the world who have succeeded this way or worse. I think this is the biggest tragedy, we are being brainwashed and start turning a blind eye, we see what we want to see, and we see what others want us to see. The status quo of the news media industry is also shown through the news of louis. There is blood, there is something to watch, the public is blind, and the minority is sad. I don't know if the media caters to the audience's taste, or the media affects the audience's taste. In short, the news edited by louis and the news edited by TV stations for the public to see has already changed. Do you still naively think that you understand the facts through your own eyes and through your own thinking? Just like your own dressing taste, don't think that you have your own unique understanding, just a certain group of people is swaying the fashion (this season's fashion colors, etc.), and your choice is just chasing their tails.
Louis is a harsh perfectionist. He puts 100% enthusiasm into his work. The lack of emotion will not affect his goal of success, but it will allow him to exclude everything on the road to success without any scruples. stumbling blocks, such as his assistant Rick. Rick is also very interesting. At first, Wei Nuo Nuo was very afraid of his boss, Louis, who had a poor salary but still worked hard. Later, he dared to negotiate with the boss and even threatened the boss. Compared with louis, rick will feel like a normal person, and arranging such a normal person is used to set off louis's abnormality, but normal people seem stupid and ridiculous, with simple minds and underdeveloped limbs, killing him is like killing him. As simple as an ant. This is also a dark spot in the film.
For this film, it doesn't matter if the drama is not spoiled, it's more about watching how the plot develops, but watching the louis played by Jake Gyllenhaal, with thin cheeks, wide eyes, and the curvature of the corners of the mouth. , like cold-blooded zombies in the dark night, very exciting.
