The film introduces the blueprint of the revenge movie only to subvert it and turn it on its head at the end. Perhaps it means to tell us that exacting justice is never a simple feat, and in the real world, it always comes with unexpected casualties.

Animals that sleep during the day and stay active at night are called nocturnal animals. E.g., wolves, bats, etc. Some desert animals are adapted to be nocturnals to escape the scorching heat.

You'll encounter friendly forest nymphs, curious cats, and other dancing dwellers of darkness as they join you in exploring one of Nocturnal's biggest themes: seeking the unknown.

Owls can see at night. So can cats and foxes. Animals active at night are called nocturnal. These animals have a special ability that allows them to see in the dark: night vision!

Nocturnal Animals has the most intense scene of the year. It's gut-wrenchingly repulsive without being graphic. It's harrowing in the portrayal of a family assaulted in the middle of the night on a highway. Worst of all - it's uncomfortably plausible.

A revenge thriller toplined by Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal, Nocturnal Animals opens not on its stars but with a montage of nude, obese women dancing in slow motion as glitter flutters all around them.

The adjective nocturnal comes from the Late Latin nocturnalis, which means “belonging to the night." You've probably heard of nocturnal animals, like bats and fireflies, who sleep during the day and come out to play when the sun goes down.

Many species on Earth are nocturnal: Some come out at night to escape the heat of the day. Others need the night to hunt, mate, or avoid predators. Animals such as cats, owls, and rodents have developed keen hearing, smell, and dark-adapted vision in order to navigate at night.

Having and Losing Faith in God One of the main themes of Night is Eliezer's loss of religious faith. Throughout the book, Eliezer witnesses and experiences things that he cannot reconcile with the idea of a just and all-knowing God.

The Performers Follow these whimsical characters as they take you on a journey through Wonderland after dark. You'll encounter friendly forest nymphs, curious cats, and other dancing dwellers of darkness as they join you in exploring one of Nocturnal's biggest themes: seeking the unknown.

Some examples of nocturnal adaptations are the large eyes of flying squirrels, owls, hares, and voles. Many nocturnal animals have exceptional hearing, such as owls, hares, and foxes, while others, such as bobcats, mountain lions and bears have an amazing sense of smell.

“They're the Valkyrie in a sense, casting a spell on the entire film. So there were a lot of different reasons for that sequence, and not least of all, it grabs the audience at the very beginning and gets them into the story.”

- Brief portrayal of sexual assault with no nudity and some detail. - Infrequent portrayals of hand-to-hand and weapons violence with little blood or detail. - Depicting physical assault and injury. - Occasional gory and grotesque images.

A title sequence (also called an opening sequence or intro) is the method by which films or television programmes present their title and key production and cast members, utilizing conceptual visuals and sound (often an opening theme song with visuals, akin to a brief music video).

Nocturnal animals are animals that are active during the night and sleep during the day. Animals that are active during the day and sleep at night, are known as diurnal - the opposite of nocturnal. Nocturnal animals tend to have heightened senses due to their activity in the dark.
