The world of news, the death of moral.

Rating: 10/10 (16 July 2019)

This is the kind of movie we need to both watch for and always try to project. It is beating with originality and raw force of Storytelling power and a certainly needed ability to throw the audience into a side of life that exists totally within our need for violence and our want to always see it and see it plentiful.
Here we have Jake Gyllenhal playing a rather mysterious character that we immediately know is ultimately up to no good despite is Passion despite maybe possibly wanting to do good in success. this character is highly intelligent, highly educated, and highly confident in his speech and Carries himself brilliantly everywhere he goes. where he goes is a peek behind the curtain and the News industry and the need to get a story 4 furthering that need for violence and for the crime. It shows how moral is almost basically non-existent. People are stories nothing more and nothing less. There's a whole team of various reporters various new screws going out to the city at night and trying to find any wrongdoing any chaos or any destruction or any active violence that they can use for that said story.
Everything here is so brilliantly done from The Shear Excellence of the acting by our lead Lewis Bloom played by Jake Gyllenhaal, to the constantly moving script by Dan Gilroy who also very well directed the film.. he captures The Nightlife of the city of Los Angeles with absolute realism and absolute Grit. There are really no good guys in this story, everyone is full of greed. That's is what makes it so brilliant. It works on all these levels. Rather it wants to be a piece on the world of news and our need for it or a story about the disintegration of humanity from that. It even has a bit in here about how to create a business and expand it. All of the thrills come from our leaders, who are consistently determined and shockingly so.
That is what makes this a brilliant movie. It works on all of these levels and is greatly benefitted from all the talent aborad. Destined to become a modern classic it just might be.
