The Private is Public: On the 10th Anniversary of "Nightcrawler" | Features | Roger Ebert
Briefly

"Nightcrawler" puts the practice directly in your face, highlighting how the media manipulates public concern and showcases personal tragedy for ratings. Lou Bloom embodies this dark transformation, demonstrating how the voracious appetite for violent news shapes not just content but viewer perception.
The film becomes increasingly relevant in today's climate, where media distrust and the omnipresence of surveillance alter how imagery is perceived and consumed. It raises questions about the motives behind the imagery and challenges our understanding of objective journalism in a politically divisive era.
