messy thoughts

The plot is very tight and the cast looks good?

The shoulders of leaders: There is really no easy job in the world, Paulson's aura Max? Although everyone has tit-for-tat evaluations of Paulson, think about how well you can sleep if you are in that position ? The economy of an entire country may be on your shoulders. While watching a movie, I couldn’t help but think about deserting. Sitting at my desk, the big guys were overwhelmed with incoming calls. It wasn’t bad news, it was just questions and accusations. The class guy also hummed and refused to cooperate. Will there be such a moment when he thinks about spreading his hands, MD, I quit! You can't even find someone to scold. This is when you need to stretch your shoulders.

Black magic-like modern financial system: Paulson is said to be involved with them because he doesn’t want the outside world to expect the government to rescue these financial institutions. In fact, he has some personal considerations in his decision not to save Lehman. The problem is that he far underestimated the information and impact that the act itself might bring to the market. People suddenly found that the bank was unreliable, and no one would know the truth, and panic spread like a plague immediately. The foundations on which the entire modern financial system rested, trust and confidence, collapsed after Lehman went bankrupt, and everything was like dominoes. This is the danger of finance. This is a double-edged blade, or like a nuclear bomb, it can make you grow like a rocket, and it can also make you waste overnight. This is a dangerous black magic.

In fact, this is the second time I have watched it, and I have a better understanding than the first time, and some things can be seen more clearly. Worth revisiting!
