[spoiler] Gone girl and nightcrawler similarity

Did anyone notice how similar the theme of the two movie were? They both focus on how news portrays the crime to serve their ratings. They both have a psychopath who is using the way news is to serve their own purpose. Don't get me wrong the two movies are two completely different experiences while watching them, but after seeing both movies end, I felt the same way. I felt like the ending to the both movies was shown as this ending to a typical american story when what we were shown was something completely different. Whether it is damsel in distress returning to her husband who has finally learned to love her or a struggling young man starting his own "successful video news business", and getting the girl on the way.
