    The fact that Gyllenhaal didn't even get nominated shows how invalid the academy is. 7 years on, and his performance is arguably more talked about than the other nominees of that year.

    Gyllenhall's performance in this film was amazing. His character managed to come off as both a terrible person and also someone who is strangely charismatic and likeable.

    I disagree with the idea that he doesn't have a character arc. At the beginning he's getting jerked around in negotiations. By the end, he's the cynical negotiator.

      That only paints a fraction of the picture.
      It would be like a mob movie starting out by painting the picture of poverty and then jumping right into the character being a heartless hitman.
      Plus, the movie shows him to be a narcissistic thief from the very beginning.

    Lou wasn't supposed to be a relatable character sprung up as an outcome of "hustle culture" and he isn't.
    The movie is about how actual media entities operate especially mainstream media.
    You wouldn't get that if you had no understanding of how media companies operate previous to watching the movie.
    The movie doesn't spoon feed you the backstory or even indicate the backstory.

      Well, the film did paint the context of the economy and job market being a struggle and he did struggle with getting work.
      However, that doesn't totally justify or even explain away how(not why) he is the type of person he is.
      It would be like a mob movie showing the context of poverty and then jumping right into someone becoming a hit man with no morals.
      Sounds like it makes sense in theory, but doesn't in reality when observing actual human behavior.
      You are correct about the media though.

    I found this movie while binging Jake Gyllenhaal films and it is probably one of my favorite films. It captures Lou as such a bad person but you almost want him to succeed.

    Well said! It's very easy to glorify a terrible character (and well overdone). It takes a special kind of story telling for them succeed without making them the hero.

    I was genuinely disappointed that the film didn't end in CCTV footage gone viral where Lou dies in some kind of graphic vehicle/pedestrian accident.
    The wolf in sheep's clothing act seriously made some primitive part of my brain act up and I honestly began hating the guy. The more I watched the more I was repulsed by everything about him. Brilliant acting.
