After watching the movie, I didn't feel the chills down my spine as I imagined, as if everything was just as it should be. Lou is a paranoid, he really likes this "job", he can kill with a knife without any guilt because he doesn't care about his own life, so he acts like a lunatic, trespassing on the murder scene, racing cars , stalking the murderer. Can't help but admire this desperate spirit. This is probably the difference between a normal person and a lunatic. No matter how much normal people pursue the same thing, they will not be so reckless. They have a bottom line, and once they go beyond this bottom line, it will be very scary. When I think of "Perfume", I am also a genius and a lunatic, and I don't think it is wrong to kill. The only thing that scares me in the film is that Lou has no feelings. Even if he is spurned by others, provoked by opponents, and threatened by partners, he does not swear at all. He can run the train with his eyes and mouth full of guilt in the face of police questioning. , no guilty conscience, all descriptions are accurate. Even the pursuit of the opposite sex is not sincere, and the sweet words come out of his mouth like a formula, probably because he saw in a book that a smooth love life is necessary for success, so he hooked up with an old woman 20 years older than him. All of this makes it seem like he's not a flesh-and-blood being, just a machine implanted in the science of success, calculating results delicately and then taking action. His partner says he doesn't understand people, he says he just doesn't like people. He doesn't like other people, he doesn't like people at all, all he likes is bloody scenes, reasonable composition, and arriving at the scene as soon as possible. He is scary, but it cannot be said to be cruel. He is not like a criminal in the general impression. The criminal will at least abscond in fear of crime and feel guilty, and he has no humanity at all. Just slap in the face. But who cares, after all, what this society needs is people who package themselves beautifully, who can read their words, have ambition, have eloquence, and are willing to work hard, perfect, right?
"Nightcrawler" goes further than "Perfume" and points directly to social reality. In order to cater to the audience's taste, the media has no bottom line, so it gave people like Lou a living space. I used to think that the duty of a reporter is to report the facts. I went to a newspaper office for an internship, and after adding various emergencies, I realized how difficult it is to discover a fact, not to mention reporting. The media have their own positions, and they just pick the facts and tell you, enough to influence the audience. Chai Jing's "Seeing" briefly mentioned a few things, including the recently finished legal high, and even healer.
