Really Surprised!
A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
I'm a bit late to the party I know and have only just finished watching the 'Inside Job' 8 years on! Wowzers though. Utterly mind blowing content, research and analysis and narrated to perfection by Matt Damon. I'm no business brain but the way the financial crisis was clearly explained and illustrated made it brilliant to follow and even more shocking to absorb. Charles Ferguson and the whole team deserved their Academy Award, as it's just a mesmerising, expertly told documentary. Superb!
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.
It is sickening to watch this documentary. Not because it is poorly made - it's actually quite good - but because of the corruption it exposes. Wall Street has gone unchecked for long enough. Though there may be few legal remedies currently available - big banks simply have too much money to protect them - bringing the issues to light is incredibly important. That is why we need documentaries like these. The public needs the truth.Never forget what happened in 2008.
Quick look at the DVD-case cover, and even the small intro, doesn't give much value to wait for.But when the film gets into business it becomes great, awe-inspiring with its straight ahead, courageous, disciplined, civil, but also unbending handling of the subject matter.
