It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
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.
One of the best docs ever made and afterwards you will realize that this will happen again. Maybe 2018 already when the Bitcoins and other virtual money will implode. Story tells the link between the 5 former investment banks, 2 fin conglomerates, insurance cos, the rating agencies and how they all put together CDOs, with AAA rating packed as MBS and insured against by the same players by CDSwaps. And more collusion. Enjoy it.
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.
