Nightcrawler is absolutely terrifying

I just watched it the other day, and Jake Gyllenhaal’s character scares me. He’s just some like pamphlet about business strategies personified, almost all of his personality being him saying a tip about negotiating a price or talking about business goals. His eyes are so massive in this movie they dominate his whole face and they’re always analyzing and stalking everything he looks at. And what scares me the most was that for the first third of the movie, I was totally rooting for this guy. Like obviously he was a little weird or whatever, but until he started moving dead bodies around and extorting sex from Nina, I was hoping this socially awkward guy would win. I watched it a few days ago and I still can’t stop thinking about it, just the way he manipulated so many people and got so many killed just to try to get a good shot, all while barely showing any humanity and spouting out business lessons. I can’t believe Jake Gyllenhaal didn’t even get nominated for this role, he was excellent and terrifying in this movie. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3BZAORw
