Elswit used a digital ARRI Alexa for the night scenes because of the camera's ability to capture low-light settings. It also gave the film a sleek style. “The Alexa sees a little more than film and even when you push it a little, you get a wonderful contrasty look,” noted Elswit.

All of this worry, until Gyllenhaal says some magic words: “What if my problem isn't that I don't understand people, but that I don't like them”. Woah. He's not Autistic.
Parents need to know that Nightcrawler is a crime drama/thriller about an outcast who finds he has a calling filming gory footage for the TV news -- and ends up going to extreme lengths in pursuit of his "talent."

On the surface, "Nightcrawler" is a very well-made film. The production value is high, the visuals are great, acting is solid, and it delves into a number of very relevant themes regarding journalism and TV news.
Most importantly, the violence plays alongside the message of the media. Language is frequent especially in the first half of the movie. Use of "f#!k" and "$h!t" is mostly heard. Drugs and use of alcohol isn't present (except for a scene with social drinking), but mentions of a drug robbery are heard.
What is film aspect ratio, and why does it matter? Aspect ratio describes the relationship of an image's width to its height. This relationship matters because it determines how much space surrounds the subject of an image (or series of moving images).

Inspired by a true story from Oakland, California, Leila Mottley's first novel follows a young Black girl who is sexually abused by a group of police officers.
This way of thinking about the self is reflected in Nightcrawler. Lou Bloom is a hustler who makes his living from deceptive self-promotion. His primary skill, and the key to his success, is persuading people that he already possesses abilities which in reality he will gain only if they believe him and invest in him.
No sex or nudity at all throughout the film, only mild references. A man says "Suck it" as an insult. It is implied that a secretary and her boss have been dating.
