Human nature or distortion of worldview

I dragged the progress bar and read it hastily. I saw the world, and I saw the conscience that was annihilated by interests. Reminds me of the saying "A dirty heart can never hold a smiling face".

The whole film is full of commercial slaughter and selfishness, and the whole film is full of indifference and struggle of human nature before interests. The demonized grins in the financial world and the evil deeds behind the smiles in the political world, freedom gives people the right to think and do good, but thinking and doing good are so pale in the face of interests.

Financial tycoons created a prosperous world, and in the prosperous world, they gathered treasures and wealth, but quietly put poison into other people's wine glasses. When I went against the trend, I jumped out of the circle and let the person who drank poisoned wine die for them, but shamelessly shouted that his death had nothing to do with me.

Is this a distortion of the worldview, or is it human nature?

    The American media and the producers and directors of some documentaries are really excellent. They focus on major social issues and can quickly record history in their own way. This film is a good example. I read a few about the financial crisis in 2008, and they all have their own priorities. This film starts from the response of the US Treasury Department, because the Secretary of the Treasury is unlikely to be interviewed in the form of a documentary, so they use the form of this drama

    Financial warfare is the most fascinating horror, suspense story.
