【看美劇學英語】《獨家腥聞》口兒有點重...

在娛樂圈，好奇之心，人皆有之，然而就是由于眾多吃瓜群眾的過分“好奇”，烘托助推，假圖、謠言顯得比真相更加“真實、合理”，從而登上各版頭條。似乎在這平淡的日子，唯一能使生活豐富多彩起來的便是去尋找一些特殊的“新鮮”。而這也使得一些媒體更加變本加厲。

這些過激、扭曲的行為、興趣愛好，不得不小編想起幾年前看的一部電影《Nightcrawler》譯名《獨家腥聞》。媒體的“嗜血、貪婪”在這部片子中展現的淋漓盡致。

▼看美劇學英語之《獨家腥聞》

Hero Lou Bloom was a passionate but poor young. Without a formal job, what he could do for survival was to steal manhole covers and iron fences to make money.
本片的男主本是窮屌絲一枚，靠偷井蓋，鐵柵欄勉強養(yǎng)家糊口。

But by chance, he found being an independent photographer would make a fortune. So an idea that he was going to be involved in media industry emerged in his brain.
一次偶然的機會，Lou發(fā)現當一名獨立記者能“發(fā)家致富”，于是動起了進入媒體行業(yè)的念頭，從此踏上一條不歸路。

Independent photographers ?
Bring their own tools, find news independently, sell the news to media.
獨立記者一種自備工具、自采新聞、向媒體銷售新聞的行業(yè)。

He bought relevant tools, such as the camera, vidicon and police scanner, to seek for "big news" like a courser.
他買來照相機、攝影機、警用掃描儀，到處搜索新聞。

In the first time, he tasted the sweetness, earning 250$.
第一次Lou就嘗到了甜頭。

However, the case he reported was not just a usual accident, but a Shooting Incident. Though other photographers had already been in the spot, only the Lou's report caused a sensation due to more bloody pictures by close-up shot..
然而這卻不是一場普通的事故，而是一場劫車槍擊案。原本已有攝影記者搶先拍到了現場畫面，卻因Lou拍攝的視頻更距離、更血腥而受到媒體的青睞引起網絡轟動。

Soon, he got the hang of this job--reporting more and more "big news". Most were about disasters or murders. But at the same time, his ambition also Increasingly expanded, and acting style became more and more bold.
很快，Lou掌握了這一行業(yè)的要領，繼續(xù)報道著更多的頭條新聞。然而為了吸引眼球，這些大多是關于災難、兇殺案。Lou的野心也越來越大，以至于行事風格已經到了近乎走火入魔的狀態(tài)。

▽ Trespassing into the victim's home illegally.
他開始非法闖入被害者家中拍攝。。。

▽ Destroying the scene of the crime, dragging the dead body in order to get more attractive pictures.
慢慢的，為了拍攝出更震撼的畫面，他開始拖動尸體破壞案發(fā)現場。

▽ Creating news! Before police arrived, he rushed to the scene of crime to take photos, ignoring the real murderer and deciding not to call police.
到了最后，他甚至為了新聞頭條，眼睜睜的看著幸存者死去，而繼續(xù)他的拍攝，放棄報警放棄救援。

▽ In order to fetch a good price, he cut out one part which revealed one of the people in the house was alive while he was photographing .
他剪去了兇手逃亡的畫面只是為了再制造一起大新聞。

It's the need of media for improving the audience rating that makes Lou lose his heart.

Nightcrawler savages the news media's ratings-driven ethic with such force, it brings to mind Paddy Chayefsky and Sidney Lumet's Network.

媒體正是利用我們的好奇心，以好奇回復好奇、以謠言引起好奇。

比如，我們經常很突然的就看到一些活的好好的大明星就被媒體炒作玩死了~

相信每一位都對這種行為都所不恥，然而我們需要反思的卻是是否正是由于我們一時的好奇，感慨評論推波助瀾了這些無端的流言，而再一次傷害了我們喜愛多年而又無辜的人。

Don't establish our amusement on consuming others' misfortune!
