The film tells about the most tragic thing that happened in the financial world: the US subprime mortgage crisis. The impact of the outbreak has not disappeared until now.
From the perspective of the film, we can see several artificial entry points of the trend in this wave: the doctor who designed the short-selling right, followed by Mark, Ben, Palm Fund, etc. who participated in the gambling. Interspersed with major events in the United States: the withdrawal of Iraqi troops, the release of new products by Apple, the Bush administration, etc. For people in the non-financial world, those are the major events in life, the popularity of Facebook, and the overwhelming enthusiasm in the news. . However, just behind the development of these events, there is still a major event that is slowly fermenting and fermenting, until it becomes a tsunami that blows the sky and covers it up, and then many people lose their jobs, become homeless, jump off buildings, and their assets shrink. So-called big events affect the lives of many more people.
Capital is greedy, but the people involved are helpless. The people who win in this movie are responsible for their investors, for themselves and for their family's economy. They predict and seize the opportunity.
There is no so-called successful atmosphere in the whole film. There is review, reflection, introspection, and irony. When the two people from Palm Fund felt that they had won, Ben turned around and said: "If you win the bet, tomorrow America will have a game. Tens of millions of people are displaced and homeless, unemployment will rise..." But as those two people asked, why do you come back to help them because you hate the financial world so much.
WHY?
And capital is greedy, and people are more shameless. Finance is a game designed by some people, some people have plundered wealth from others, and tell you that this is the so-called success.
Therefore, I have always respected the most industrial people. I also despise myself.
