Nightcrawler is the darkest success story ever put on film. We break down why Jake Gyllenhaal is one of the greatest actors alive and how this might be the performance that proves it. We get into how Jake created his entire character from scratch including the hair bun, the weight loss, and the physicality without a single note from the director. We discuss the wild detail that Rene Russo never kisses Lou on screen because she is actually the director's wife in real life. And we talk about why that last line of the movie is one of the greatest final lines in cinema history and exactly why it works so well.Chapters:00:00 What a beautifully dark movie5:47 Jake is too good at being scary16:03 The complicated nature of Lou Bloom22:53 The craziest story from on set25:04 One of the best written psychopaths28:03 The real villain in this movie31:05 A horribly perfect success story33:50 Revealing the dark side of the news45:56 Top notch filmmaking examples55:49 The power of negotiation57:41 A great movie recommendation1:02:02 Lou Bloom will always find the best deal1:09:12 Movie ranking & final thoughts
