Nightcrawler- crawls under your skin

Intro

This movie answers the question- what if Arnab Goswami were born in the ghettoes of Los Angeles California?

Good

Well, this story is the growth and development of one very intriguing protagonist. Even Arnab is not as relentless as Lou Bloom. The style of the movie is ultra real, making every turn, pulse pounding, and every anticipative scene, nerve wrecking. At one point I was thinking, what will this guy not do! Our character stumbles upon media goldmines, with sheer persistence and business rational. The angles and lighting somehow draw you further into this flawed genius's progression.  

Bad

I seriously struggle to fill this space in my review. I guess the media force fed modern day mind requires a whole lot of build up music to make scenes intense. But this movie makes the silences painfully anticipative. Painfully contemplative. It is a modern day uber classic. It blows your brains out this one.

Ugly

I have so much to say in this space. The nature of evil was discussed in interstellar, a movie I reviewed recently. I keep pondering- why do our heroes of the screen become more and more negative as the days go by. More and more shades of darkness, criss cross the screens, painting it a flourecent red blood colour. The thickness of these characters attack me at a soul level- is our world inherently evil? I repeatedly ask. Is success only for Arnab like loud and painful characters. If you thought Arnab was bad, you got a whole new level coming Jeeves.

Verdict-If you love media theory then this movie is to die for. For the rest of us, it still entertains. 7/10
