TRAVEL TO MOVIES: NIGHTCRAWLER


Director: Dan Gilroy
Cast: Jake Gyllenhaal , Bill Paxton , Rene Russo , Ann Cusack , Anne McDaniels
Plot: A film about a young man named Lou Bloom who is desperate for work until one day he stumbles across the high-speed world of L.A. crime journalism. After discovering a group of freelance camera crews who film crashes, fires, murder and other chaos, Lou gets involved in the cut-throat, dangerous realm of nightcrawling, a practice where independent videographers search out for violent crimes and sell them to news shows.

My Movie Review: The movie is a vision, it opened my mind on crime journalism and how things work behind the scenes. Jake Gyllenhaal losses a lot of weight in this film and gains a compelling acting role that puts him on the spotlight. Nightcrawler is unique, I can't think of a movie with similar concept like this and as the movie goes on it became deeper. I like Lou Bloom's aggression to the American Dream. But he goes to much to make it come true, just like when he puts his assistant as a bait to captured the best video shoots.
My Favorite Term: Granada Hills

Granada Hills is a lightly populated, highly diverse and high-income neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley region of the city of Los Angeles. Formerly agricultural, it is now mostly residential, with three-quarters of the living units being occupied by their owners.
