For those of you who have seen the second best movie of the year, after ‘Birdman’, what do you think about its main character, Louis Bloom? Do you think he is someone you should aspire to be?

Brilliant film. Lou Bloom is one of the creepiest movie characters I’ve seen in a very long time, very similar to the character of Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver. And no, I don’t think anyone should aspire to be like him. The way he succeeds in life is by being manipulative, and having a twisted view on morality and ethics.

I also admire how Nightcrawler satirizes the news media, no holds barred.

I love Jake Gyllenhaal’s acting and look forward to seeing this movie.

It’s a good film. Lou Bloom is a psychopathic nutcase but there is nothing he says that you couldn’t imagine coming from the mouth of a successful CEO.

At first I wasn’t too intrigued by this movie, but I keep hearing good things about it.

Is it available for legal streaming that anyone knows? I don’t do torrents or bootlegs.
