>He watched the Nightcrawler and thought to himself "yup, that's me" or imagined himself he could do it too
Dont tell me you were that guy Cinemaphile
>He watched the Nightcrawler and thought to himself "yup, that's me" or imagined himself he could do it too
Literally me but without the drive and ambition
>How do you write male characters so well?
>I think of a woman, and add drive and ambition
If it was upskirts and creepshots instead of crash sights, totally me.
this is me, Black person
me in the back
Donnie?
The part where he steals copper and assaults a security guard could be some Cinemaphile users
that part’s literally me
>brokeback mountain by day, nightcrawler by night
yep that's me
My dad kind of looks like him
>dude im going to the top no matter what
>winds up some nobody at a noname tv station fricking an old hag
i didnt get this movie
He made shit tons of money and had his own company. What the frick do you have, loser?
touched a nerve i see
>get a name for being the top supplier of on the scene videos
>start a production company
>transition into a desk job
>get snapped up by a big news channel like fox/cnn for being "feisty"
>frick your way to the top
the movie spelled out what his career path was - remember it was set in the era where TV actually mattered and streaming didn't exist.
in 2023 that guy would be a producer for nolan or cameron - google those guys producers they're similarly ruthless and cutthroat - they get shit done at all costs.
forgot yt link - check out avatar's producer - he has the exact same cadence as lou and nothing going on behind the eyes.
>gets his own poo slave
>poo gets uppity
>poo gets shot
whole movie was worth it for this alone
i don't understand why would lou shoot poo? he was paid to shoot accidents and scenes of crimes
The poo got greedy
he was making a move
lou had to get it on
yeah but poo didn't have any line to the top? it's not like lou didn't have competition there were other ppl doing the same thing as him already.
lou literally was fricking the news lady to ensure he was given first pick i don't think poo could replicate that
I liked how the news lady got turned on when she saw the poo getting shot. Kino.
true that
>be me
>in uni
>early 20s when Nightcrawler comes out
>love it, the idea of taping the news before the news vans even roll out, selling it back to them
>even the parts where you commit crimes yourself to return to tape them
>one night before finals, dead middle of December, we've had snow and ice for 2 straight weeks
>it's well past midnight
>it's foggy from all the ice and wind but I can make out emergency lights blinking on the side of the road
>I have a tire iron, jumper cables, first aid kit, and some hot hands and other odds and ends my boy scouting instilled in me
>pull over, get my flashlight out and approach the car
>immediately something feels off
>about 5 feet from the car and I'm hearing a moaning sound and scratching like somebody is scraping the car
>look up and down the road, no lights in either direction so I take a wide approach and step into the road
>a man hit a deer, the deer went through his windshield and kicked him repeatedly
>he's moaning for help, the deer is struggling in the windshield but mostly just twitching and it slowly dies
>but something is still off something is making the hair on my neck stand up
>there's a fricking coyote on the hood of the car tearing and gnawing at the deer's hind legs trying to pull it out of the windshield
>call 9/11 and tell them the situation, tell them I need cops and an ambulance a man is dying because of a deer and coyote
>can't even see the mile markers I'm at so I know it'll take them a while
>once I've done what I can to call for help I'm stuck watching a man die as a deer kicks him every time the coyote tugs on the deer
>Nightcrawler instincts activate
>start recording the scene
>good camera angles, using my flashlight for lighting
>do a mood shot where I pan from the car to the road in one direction, showing how bleak and forgotten the area is
>panning back to the car the guy tries to reach a hand out the window toward me
No news would run my video. None of them.
tbf there's nothing interesting about man hitting deer. that's the essence of that story.
the coyote thing is a nice interest thing but really who gives a frick about coyotes?
if you were really nightcrawler tier evil you would drag the man out and bait the coyote towards him. now THAT'S newsworthy
"MAN GETTING EATEN BY COYOTE"
>do a mood shot where I pan from the car to the road in one direction, showing how bleak and forgotten the area is
no one gives a shit about this. literally no one.
autism
yeah nightcrawler dude was autistic - wasn't it implied from the way he practiced his "gotta buy a ticket" speech?
you need detachment from humanity before you can prey on it
I need to be honest, I got bored of the movie at the half and dropped it off and never saw since
i dont have the social skills to negotiate selling the videos
>people tell me I look like Jake Gyllenhaal
>I'm incredibly autistic
>I own a Challenger
Why am I not receiving royalties?
>Video Production News
This sounds like one of those cheap, foreign-owned ""news"" services that spouts propaganda to the west
I used to think that Ryan Gosling as Driver was literally me but then I realized that Jake Gyllenhaal as Lou Bloom was literally the real me
Psycho or sociopath he's not a literally me contender. Very few of us are literally mentally ill like him.
>Very few of us are literally mentally ill
>like him
I'm sure plenty of you morons are autistic or borderline but you aren't a psychopath
No more like I wish I had that sort of get up and go. I'm far too afraid of prison but shit Lou would probably be like Ryan O'Reilly in oz
Literally me if I didn't go on rampant alchohol and fapping binges so often
if you put this energy into chasing milfs at expensive bars you could be lou
