I still remember that I read it when I was in graduate school. I had to write a thesis and prepare for a comprehensive test. The pressure was overwhelming. But I still couldn't resist watching this inside job. For me, who was still a student at the time, my understanding of finance was only a skin or even a skin, but I had great enthusiasm and curiosity about this course in this industry. I can't make any comments about the film, I can only talk about my own intuitive feelings. This is a career that is profit-seeking, greedy, exciting, tempting and complicated, especially when you reach a certain level, you will find that all kinds of ugly faces will come to you. But it's also a desirable profession because it's not just about money, after a certain understanding you will find that if you want to really understand and play with it, history, politics, law and even science you will ask to know because it is related to everything All things are connected. It's a lot like the philosophical statement from my high school politics class: Everything is connected. And this documentary tells us how finance has corrupted the system and politics. It can be said to be pervasive. Because of the characteristics of profit-seeking and greed, they are coerced by "money" from bottom to top, so that they exceed the level of their risk-taking and even the phenomenon of self-defense. In the end, it is everyone who pays for this crazy act, and even more Those who do not have the ability to predict risk are the general public.

I have to say that the name of the documentary is really apt "INSIDE JOB"
