Thanks for the memories!

Such a frustrating disappointment

Sorry, this movie sucks

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

A great companion piece w/The Big Shirt, Inside Job gives all the details, from soup to nuts, of the 2008 financial meltdown. More horrifying than most slasher films, this doc shows us the greed that pervaded our financial system at the expense of many investors. The conclusions made by this film almost play as epilogue to the current state of our new president's attitude toward future finances, where deregulation will be severely curtailed.

This is one of the few films that should be aired on national TV. Released in 2010 and I only get to know about it in 2018. Anyway, a mindblowing experience and highly informative movie which has a little of everything. I got goosebumps when the last dialogue was delivered "Some things are worth fighting for"

The documentary covered the analysis of financial crisis from the perspective of various stakeholders: Investment banks, The Government and Federal Regulatory bodies. It also covered how academia are supporting false publications and hence teaching at top business schools. An eye opening documentary.

As someone who had a front row seat to the crisis I can say that this film got many things right bit didn't delve into explaining "why". (1) There were legitimate business reasons why derivatives existed - for companies to hedge their exposures to commodities, currency fluctuations and a host of other things. (2) Glass-Steagall was an antiquated depression-era law that outstayed its welcome as financial markets became more global (also banks were engaging in these activities before the repeal via loopholes so that they could compete w global banks)(3) the movie conspicuously omitted the impact of Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac and the (mostly Democrat) politicians who supported these institutions by voting to allow them to purchase junky mortgages supposedly to support the housing market. Oh and their executives were indicted (4) the government charged the banks hefty interest for the bailout money and made billions. (5) enough with blaming Goldman Sachs for everything! What about the other banks that contributed, like Citi? Who had to pay billions in fines for fraudulent mortgages. Besides you want a Treasury Secretary who understands markets and the people at Goldman happen to be pretty good at that. (6) having Eliot Spitzer opine is like having David Hinkley discuss gun control
