Nice movie

Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2014)

One of the best movies i have seen in the last year. The main focus of the movie is not as much on the plot or the action but on the characters and environment thus the plot takes a supporting role. The movie portrays an unemployed man named Luis Bloom making his way to a life of fame and fortune in the news business . Although one might say that this is a classical American success story , it is surely not.
Luis Bloom is not your average American , he is a psychopath who lacks empathy and morals. He does not dream nor create he uses the data he collects to satisfy his own selfish purposes whatever the means. He knows people better than they know themselves and uses their weakness and environment to better his own goals. From start to finish the main character does not evolve or change , he just gets more tools to work with and even goes so far as to using people as commodities. Nightcrawler wants us to understand that's it's not the intelligence of the main character or his charisma or any special attribute which helps him advance this far but the environment in which we live. The same environment which puts more importance on the purpose than on the means of achieving that purpose. The questions it raises and the world it reveals are very debatable but one thing is certain , this movies gets its message across.
