【看美剧学英语】《独家腥闻》口儿有点重...

在娱乐圈，好奇之心，人皆有之，然而就是由于众多吃瓜群众的过分“好奇”，烘托助推，假图、谣言显得比真相更加“真实、合理”，从而登上各版头条。似乎在这平淡的日子，唯一能使生活丰富多彩起来的便是去寻找一些特殊的“新鲜”。而这也使得一些媒体更加变本加厉。

这些过激、扭曲的行为、兴趣爱好，不得不小编想起几年前看的一部电影《Nightcrawler》译名《独家腥闻》。媒体的“嗜血、贪婪”在这部片子中展现的淋漓尽致。

▼看美剧学英语之《独家腥闻》

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.
本片的男主本是穷屌丝一枚，靠偷井盖，铁栅栏勉强养家糊口。

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.
一次偶然的机会，Lou发现当一名独立记者能“发家致富”，于是动起了进入媒体行业的念头，从此踏上一条不归路。

Independent photographers ?
Bring their own tools, find news independently, sell the news to media.
独立记者一种自备工具、自采新闻、向媒体销售新闻的行业。

He bought relevant tools, such as the camera, vidicon and police scanner, to seek for "big news" like a courser.
他买来照相机、摄影机、警用扫描仪，到处搜索新闻。

In the first time, he tasted the sweetness, earning 250$.
第一次Lou就尝到了甜头。

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..
然而这却不是一场普通的事故，而是一场劫车枪击案。原本已有摄影记者抢先拍到了现场画面，却因Lou拍摄的视频更距离、更血腥而受到媒体的青睐引起网络轰动。

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掌握了这一行业的要领，继续报道着更多的头条新闻。然而为了吸引眼球，这些大多是关于灾难、凶杀案。Lou的野心也越来越大，以至于行事风格已经到了近乎走火入魔的状态。

▽ Trespassing into the victim's home illegally.
他开始非法闯入被害者家中拍摄。。。

▽ Destroying the scene of the crime, dragging the dead body in order to get more attractive pictures.
慢慢的，为了拍摄出更震撼的画面，他开始拖动尸体破坏案发现场。

▽ 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，他甚至为了新闻头条，眼睁睁的看着幸存者死去，而继续他的拍摄，放弃报警放弃救援。

▽ 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 .
他剪去了凶手逃亡的画面只是为了再制造一起大新闻。

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.

媒体正是利用我们的好奇心，以好奇回复好奇、以谣言引起好奇。

比如，我们经常很突然的就看到一些活的好好的大明星就被媒体炒作玩死了~

相信每一位都对这种行为都所不耻，然而我们需要反思的却是是否正是由于我们一时的好奇，感慨评论推波助澜了这些无端的流言，而再一次伤害了我们喜爱多年而又无辜的人。

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