Nightcrawler Essays

I was excited that I couldn’t sleep. I paced around my room once, then twice, then a third time. I was thinking about what I was about to do tomorrow that would change history. My name and picture would be on magazines and online. I was going to the past. When I was done pacing, I went downstairs. Took some sleeping pills and automatically felt droopy. I made it to my bed and put on the covers and slept. Tomorrow was going to be a good day. This year was an innovative year. Inventors were in their

Nightcrawler’s Review Nightcrawler is an exciting thriller about an amateur cameraman, Louis Bloom, who finds passion for the high-speed world of Los Angeles crime journalism which turns into a successful small business. After Louis Bloom witnesses how stringers are filming a car wreck for the news broadcast, he decides that this career is just for him. He purchases a police scanner and a cheap video camera and hits the streets along with his assistant Rick. Louis starts selling the footage to Nina

this city, but each one seems to portray it in a multitude of ways. Some people, like Thom Anderson, do not always agree with the ways in which Los Angeles is depicted in films. The movie Nightcrawler is set in Los Angeles and revolves around a poor man named Lou Bloom who finds an interest in becoming a nightcrawler after he witnesses someone filming a car accident. Some of the stories Lou captures are graphic and terrible, but they make great headliners on the news. The city of Los Angeles plays a

Moral problems like lying, manipulation, and exploitation fill every nook and cranny of the society shown in Nightcrawler; no one tries to rectify them. Simultaneously, the overcorrection of that immorality ails the citizens in “Harrison Bergeron.” Lou Bloom’s actions led to at least three deaths and no formal punishment was given, while a ballerina was shot dead simply for dancing free of weights tied to her body. Though the two societies treat moral discrepancies in very different ways physically

Time (mean + standard error) of nightcrawler earthworm (Lumbricus terrestris) spent in the dark, covered area of the 13 x 9 observing tray with damp paper towel. Expected time shows half of the timed five minutes (175 seconds) if the earthworms had randomly moved around. Time (sec) was measured

acting on it. “Strength… is the property inherent in an object or person to its character, which may prove itself in relation to other things or persons, but is essentially independent of them” (Arendt,“On Violence”). Through the actions of Dazzler, Nightcrawler, and Kitty, it is evident that strength is just that. In all three instances of fear, each superhero was pushed to act on their inner strength, whether it be physical, mental, or emotional, to help their friends escape

Alabama Jumpers, and Red Wigglers. Plants are a living thing and need delicate care to grow and not die, plants do not necessarily need dead things but it's good for them to have to compost into the ground. African Nightcrawlers are long worms that are good for fishing. African Nightcrawlers are also very good at digging which makes them excellent plant composters. They aerate the soil and are mostly active at night.

Growing up my mother told me stories about how the world used to be different. The people were good the world was good. Earth apparently was this wonderful place with beautiful cities, where the buildings were made of glass and looked as if they were part of the sky. The countryside had rolling hills and forest filled with all different colors of greens and the most beautiful animals, but the world has changed and that’s not the world I've come to know. Mother had cities made of glass I have cities

In this essay, I will compare and contrast the different themes of love found in the poems “Nightcrawler Buys a woman a drink” and “Reservation Love Song” in addition to how these themes are coherent with each book. In Gary Jackson’s, “Night crawler buys a women a drink” the speaker uses couplets to give pomp to the rhythm that follows the poem throughout the piece. In Sherman Alexie’s poem, “Reservation Love Song” the speaker uses his quatrains to give light to his symbolism to the length of this

As the debuting film for director Dan Gilroy, Nightcrawler is, in its essence, a film not unlike some we’ve watched in class– one that certainly comes to mind is Billy Wilder’s Sunset Boulevard, a movie that inspires thought about not only the industry, but humanity. Instead of Norma’s post-film craze, our own protagonist, Louis “Lou” Bloom (portrayed by Jake Gyllenhaal) is in almost a pre-career craze. Ruthlessly ambitious, he is, my opinion, the image of a sociopath on the prowl for the beginnings

Joe Gillis, is thus stuck with the task of aiding her to help out his economic status. The film noir genre as a whole is an uncommonly used term in the mainstream film industry towards younger viewers. Most neo-noir films such as Nightcrawler are not marketed as noir but instead in broader terms like “thriller” or “Action”. This all kept the use of the term within the 1940’s to 50’s and eventually dropped off everyone's vocabulary list (besides film connoisseurs). Sunset Boulevard fits

Today I woke up pretty early for a summer day, around 7am. I walked downstairs and asked my dad if we could go fishing today. He said yes and suggested that we get ready to leave. I got my fishing pole, fishing net, and my extra fishing pole string. While I was getting my stuff my dad called his friend Jimmy and asked if he wanted to come as well. He said yes, but he will be coming later. I brought my fishing stuff to my dad’s car when I realized he brought his old fishing pole out. I asked him,

To Kill a Mockingbird is a novel full of intricate and in-depth characters that help the main character, Scout, on her journey of growing up and accepting the differences in everyone. Every character helped Scout in some way to become the person she was at the end of the book. Even though every character serves a purpose in Scout’s life, some people believe that Dill Harris, Scout’s best friend, does not play an important role in Scout’s development in the story. I believe Dill played a very important

Even Nightcrawler, a blue-furred mutant, sided with the X-men saying that the Morlocks rely on “their oppressions as a source of identity.” Morlocks, as non-human-looking mutants, most closely identify with the minorities in modern society. Treating them as the

Embracing one’s differences from everyone else can be a hard thing to do, especially when it feels almost as if everyone is constantly judging. The X-Men were created to inspire their readers to truly be themselves, having a host of people that all were different but used their powers to help save the planet. This of course included Storm and many of her allies. Even with them not being widely accepted by the people without mutations, they did their best to save those in danger. Storm and the other

Life through Children’s Animation Living in an open minded society leads to a very unique and personalized outlook for many bold individuals. Children's animation films reflect current societal views in ways that it can undermine gender and race. Each society embodies the beliefs, values, and morals in many different aspects, and this allows individuals to have a unique way of interpreting those values; as others may perceive those beliefs in a conflicting view. In the movie Zootopia, society's

Michele McNamara, a late true-crime journalist from Los Angeles, spent years bringing awareness to the “Golden State Killer” (GSK) case. She had interviewed victims, researched and visited crime scenes, worked alongside investigators, and brought together pieces of research and investigation from different cities and precincts. She even coined the nickname “The Golden State Killer”. Throughout her book, I’ll Be Gone In The Dark, McNamara includes distinct victim scenarios, personal experiences, and

relate and her epic machine of destruction is the same as Fant4stic’s, the action sequence is shabbily choreographed with messy camera work and editing. I don’t quite figure out why such powerful extradimensional entity can even fool around (in Nightcrawler style, literally) with and offer a full-time job for adversaries who do not only just blow her brother to pieces a moment ago but also display no impressive feats of metahuman powers. In fact, the only one worth recruiting already

One of the most well-known superhero team is Marvel’s X-Men. Anyone who is familiar with the X-Men knows the mutants struggle to be accepted in society. Mutants have a genetic mutation that gives them superhuman powers and abilities. People see the superhuman abilities the mutants possess as a treat to the society around them. The widespread fear of the mutants created a political stance against the mutants. The government heavily promotes individual people to judge and exclude the mutants. In X-Men:

Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Mike. He was ALL boy as they say. He was a stomper of mud puddles, collector of string, rubber bands, rocks…and anything else big people didn’t really want. He was also a builder of forts and contraptions that only a creative kid could dream up. Usually, he built his contraptions with things he found in the kitchen or his backyard. Sometimes, his mommy wasn’t too happy to find her mixing bowl, pasta strainer, and whisk all caked in mud when it was
