Hard work equals great results .. It's simple . Dedication to the craft .
Alex Stein He put alot into his role. Lost alot of weight to look like a "hungry coyote" and he memorized every line in the script.
When I first saw it I was blown away by his portrayal of a sociopath. He was very believable, not cartoonish.
He's ok
It's hilarious how he compliments her as if he's marking off boxes on a checklist lol
Checklist? All ticks for that scene.....
Literally what I came here to comment, its like a lawyer setting up a closing argument. He's just doing the things humans are supposed to do, compliment each other and ask where they're from (he doesn't ask he instead tells her he's completely researched her). He knows how humans function on a base level, but lacks the nuance or ability to even fake interests to create bonds or relationships

Probably didn't happen cause the director is married to the actress here
@@RShadow12 Omg I was thinking the same lol.
His performance is so nuanced and interesting. When his character says things like, "I like the dark makeup around your eyes and I like the way you smell" with such flat, straightforward delivery it completely highlights Lou's lack of understanding human emotion and empathy.
better than lack of understanding, because he perceives it as a complete understanding. to us, in a weird, hypnotic way, it comes across as both at once
He objectifies her. Her makeup, her scent. It's visual, physical -- divorced from the person within. He doesn't want to get to know her; he wants to possess her.
@GENESIS both for different reasons
The interesting thing about Lou is I think everyone should learn from him. Everyone should try to adapt to their surroundings and act accordingly to people, obviously not to the extent of Lou or his lack of emotional connection. But there's no denying that he's admirable to some degree. He gets what he wants through adaptation, planning and determination. Too bad he's a psychopath

This is more like Little Finger than Ramsay. He's manipulating people and they realize it when it's too late, unlike Ramsay who's just torturing them. He's a smart sociopath, not a sadist who doesn't think long term.
@@TheLeondude he would be Ramsay’s camera man
@@Ema-fm5zy nah, he's like Roose. Littlefinger is charming, capable of love, and has emotional revenge fantasies. Roose is a proper, clever sociopath who tries emulating people because he knows that's what you need to do to rule people successfully, but everybody knows he's a creepy, dangerous fuck. His eyes, skin tone, leech therapy, milk drinking, his voice. He's a reptile and everyone can tell - like with Jake in this movie. Speaking from the books' perspective mostly since they didn't try making Littlefinger charming in the show at all.
When you realize that Renee had all of like 6 lines in this entire scene, it's amazing to see what she was able to express and emote. Going from put off to humbled to afraid all within just a few minutes. Meanwhile Jake's character is essentially unfeeling, but masterfully played. Brilliantly done and she is unbelievable.
Helps her husband wrote the script so she probably had a lot of conversations about it

how did he lose the weight though extreme dieting or help with diuretics stimulents? etc
@@roxannemua9350 i dont think he lost extreme weight, he just lost weight. Typical diet without sugar and more cardio
@@Gerox566 Yea sorta. lost about 30+ lbs on a diet of Kale and Chewing Gum, and running about 15 miles a day from what I read
Well, he did just that.
The only thing that makes this guys character a little unbelievable is that he is almost too good. Almost perfect in terms of his aggressiveness and his ability to get what he wants. He is a true go getter. Which leaves the question of what was he doing before? Why is he all of a sudden a master manipulator and before he was a thief?
He was probably a murderer on the run tbh. He seems like the type.
because he's found his calling, i guess. found something he is GENUINELY motivated to do, something he relishes, he has a solid dream, a goal...and he's GOOD at it, he's in DEMAND.
He's a product of motivational speech and youtube videos of sorts. Much like his whole persona... everything is learned so he can blend in. He's a sociopath that has learned what normal people deem normal. You have to think of him like a robot that's learning. Nothing he does or says has any motivation or substance, it's a learned algorithm.
Yeah I figured the beginning what with the thieving and the "impromptu interview" between him and the foreman kinda showed some of that sociopath behavior.
Troy - I had to do this to fit in too. I wasn't fortunate enough to be given the easy life and be born with a booklet on how to socialise. Outcasted for sixteen years. I had to research and learn from others to adapt. Don't look down on people like me just because you were privileged enough to be given everything you need to do well in life from the get go.
GOOD fucking acting! Jake really did fantastic in this movie. Come to think of it, I can't really think of any movies that he didn't bring his A game too...
Donnie Darko - he just exists in that film.
@@orangewarm1 What on Earth? That's how Donnie's character is supposed to be. Lost, dazed, just existing because he lacks a purpose or any drive until he met Gretchen, she's one of the things that pushed him towards his "fate". That's what I got from the film.. idk what you mean by just existing.
Lee Lorenz that was kinda Jakes breakout role.... you have no idea what ur talking about

Nah, jokers a psychopath. Jake plays a sociopath well.
Versp. 1 Anyone but Leto.
draco malfoy joker's both and also both psychopath and sociopath have similar characteristics in a way and would fit for an actor like Jake
I think he'd be an awesome Joker, but Suicide Squad movie was a disaster and Jake deserves a better movie.
All pyschopaths are sociopaths, but not al sociopathsare pyschopaths. I'm sure Jake would nail the Joker, but I think he would be much better as the Riddler.
I remember the moment at 3:44 in the movie theater after he says “flirtationship” in that awkward way with the nervous exhale afterward and being physically revolted by it. He’s so damn good in this role it’s unreal.

It doesn't mean we don't value providing for our own needs and wants. We know that we have a better chance of survival within a group then we do going it alone in the world.
I love the last line. It makes you understand how inhuman Lou is. No one who cares about others would say that a friend is something that you give yourself, because it gives the implication that you are in control of them.
i think that it's a perfect way of summarizing that Lou is mostly a shell of a human- but does not believe that he is. I think it's supposed to mean something about opening up to others, but coming from Lou, it sounds all fucked up

That’s anyone else too. What kind of fun can I have with this person? How do they make me feel about myself? What do they do for a living? Who do they know? So much pettiness and vanity with people. The difference is those with self-awareness who recognize their selfishness, and those who don’t.
@@mateo8120 Damn sounds like women🤣
@mateo8120 The difference is that normal people are still aware of and value the fact that others are people too. By which I mean that they consider others' needs, wants, thoughts, and emotions as valuable and equal to/similar to their own. Whereas people like Lou do not. Other people are tools to be manipulated for self gain, and if they get hurt that is irrelevant.

This should have been the joker! Not Leto! This man right here, I never though a guy that looked so empathetic could make me feel so...so....concerned.
I love this movie
The best portrayal of an actual psychopath i've seen in a while good stuff.
One of the reasons David Fincher cast Gyllenhaal as Robert Graysmith in 'Zodiac' was because the director observed "an interesting double-sided" quality in the actor, having seen him in 'Donnie Darko'. I think that quality is most apparent in this film.
Such a dark ass movie. They really crushed the narcissist psychopaths psychology.
This scene is incredible. Beginning with jake looking like a complete loser and nina in complete control to the tables totally flipped.Nina terrified and Lou so effectively blackmailing her for sex. Early on in the film they seemed to be two equally shitty human beings but this scene showed lous level of coldness was a complete cut above of the rest
He didn’t blackmail her. He gave her an ultimatum. Blackmail is give me what I want or I’m gonna rat you out. That wasn’t the case here. But other than that I agree with your analysis.
Nina's equal coldness is revealed towards the end she knows Lou is manufacturing his stories by killing people yet the success is too good to turn him in

I’m sorry but this is probably Jake Gyllenhaal‘s best movie he really nails this role Unbelievably

The ‘you can leave’ comment was genius
To understand this film you need to know that Gyllenhal’s character is the personification of big business. Corporations. The way he thinks and acts is a representation of how big business does. Apathetic, Analytical, doesn’t care about others unless it benefits him. Jake fucking nailed it. Such an underrated film. Nightcrawler and “There Will Be Blood” are essentially the same film.

I've never hated a main character til this movie, great job jake
I love how in this scene (and a lot more ones from this movie) you can clearly appreciate how a psychopath manipulates other people, how he's basically saying "you're nothing and if you want to become someone you have to join me", so that they become a couple, work together and then he can manipulate her a lot easier and use her as a tool to reach his goals (like he did with Rick), but luckily Nina is someone really hard to convince and won't get seduced by him, she probably knows how that would end
The most disturbing thing about this scene is that this type of thing probably happens all the time.
"There is nothing more to say" "You can leave" Gaslighting at its peak
I just watched this on AMC and noticed they cut this scene from the movie. I have no idea why, and I’m so pissed off because it’s possibly the most important scene for their characters.
I was watching it too on there like 2 days ago. That's why I looked it up on here. It felt so short. I remember thinking these 2 obviously liked each other and it was strange how the movie didn't explore it more. Now I learn that they actually did, and they just cut the clip out. Such a great scene which really gives a lot of depth to his character and personality. I wonder what else they cut out.. I'll have to watch the full movie.
Patrick Bateman in the flesh.
As freelancer reporter and businessman
Christian Bale was in the flesh too. And chased hookers with a chainsaw.
I think the original comment is speaking to the fact that Lou seems closer to reality than Bateman. Patrick Bateman is the Superman while Lou is the everyman. A true life sociopath would watch a film like "American Psycho" over and over to copy that film but when they applied it in the real world it would look and sound more like "Nightcrawler."

I think the mystery adds more to this character All we know he could be a fking skinwalker trying to fit in.
I find myself returning to this scene on a regular basis. It is brilliant. This movie is underrated. Time Will show.
This is movie is way underrated. And you are right. This is the best scene. Brilliant.
If u told me that jake is actually an alien trying to be a Human in this scene. I’d believe you. His acting is so dam good
Last line, whoa dude. Goosebumps.
No matter how you cut it, he’s either one of two things- supremely talented, or a complete psychopath.
At "i like the way you smell", my reaction is "get out girl." That was your clue right there.
This scene made my skin crawl ugh
2:35 that "Yes" holy F. This exchange is as real as it can get. They were both magnificent.
Such incredible acting from Gyllenhall. One of the most underrated actors out there.
"A friend is a gift you give yourself" -Robert Louis Stevenson
I saw this in theaters and kinda forgot about it over the years. This hits different having seen some in-depth analysis of the film. Lou is terrifying.
6:07 "A friend is a gift you give yourself." Spoken like a true psychopath who is incapable of genuinely caring about another human being.
sounds very much like you Patrick
@@zack8865 Patrick is very much in touch with his humanity
Thors mom and mysterio having dinner
Key proponent of this conversation-know more about the job than the person who is offering the job
Rene Russo's acting matches with her splendid beauty. Jake's artistic talent is beyond superb and Dan Gilroy directing is amazing. A great film for sure. I don't want to forget abour Riz Ahmed who performed his role magnificently.
I love this character so much, lou bloom is really
Lou Bloom probably did research online on how to talk to girls before this date.
He was so good in this movie his character was scary, he even changed the way he walks.
Even a personal relationship is just another business negotiation for Lou.
She can run away but choose differently. They're the same and belong to each other. Perfect couple. It's just business afterall and Lu is right about friendship. Real life the same. It's all about money and security for family, for women. But we pretend to be different, to care. Lu, only honest person.
Those we named as "psychopath" :/ instead of pragmatic smh
no. loser
He’s soo calculated he’s a genius
Jake was so creepy in this movie. Amazing actor!
I watched this whole thing, Wondering, when is my boi going to teleport?
Lmaoooo
Actually that's not true Nina....
Just watched this movie and cannot believe I didn't see it back in 2014. Best work I've seen from Jake...top 5 all time IMHO
When I first saw this scene, it creeped me out. But now that I've seen the movie several times, I have to say that it's kind of funny. I mean, Lou's puppy eyes and not-so-innocent smile, and the way he thinks this isn't a big deal + Nina getting bombarded with red flags, slowly realizing what's going on. And that last sentence takes the cake. XDDD
Blink goddamn it blink!
dude is definitely a high functioning sociopath to be able to act this well
That smile at 6:13, creepiness up to 11, Jake is a top-shelf actor.
He should’ve won an Oscar
Him eating is the creepiest part of the scene.
This is when the Dennis System caught on.
FUCK! IM WEAK! STOP! STOP😂😂😂
Chicks dig confident men.
Pretty sure they don’t dig manipulative lunatics like Lou though.
I went from loving to being creeped out in one date. He was gold in this film
