"Invasion of Wall Street" is violent enough!

The plot of the movie "Invasion of Wall Street" is very simple. During the financial crisis in 2008, the protagonist happened to have his wife suffering from an incurable disease. In order to pay for the high medical expenses, the actor frantically swipes his credit card until it is maxed out. He wants to redeem the invested real estate fund. There is no way. The fund ran out and owed the investment bank a sum of money. At the same time, the actor still needs to repay his mortgage, and when he is stretched, he is laid off by the company because of the economic downturn. The wife felt so guilty that she couldn't work and kept spending money to treat her husband, so she chose to commit suicide, and the actor was very sad. Throughout the process, investment brokers bucked their arguments, investment bankers ignored them, lawyers only took money and did nothing, and banks kept coming to collect debts. All this brought the actor to the brink of collapse. Finally, the actor picked up the gun to resolve his dissatisfaction with the world.
The violent scene in the second half of the film, the actor shot close with a pistol, sniped with a rifle, and assassinated several Wall Street people. In the climax part, the actor came directly to Wall Street, hid in the parking lot of a high-rise building, and used a sniper rifle to headshot the agent who made him bankrupt and broke his family. Then he rushed into the investment bank headquarters and shot at the fund managers and traders in the trading room. Two mines were also lost, killing a large number of Wall Street elites.
In the end, the actor came to the office of the higher-level big boss, and after a long time arguing with the big boss, the big boss was still plausible when he died. The hero is standing in the position of the big boss, watching the video surveillance on the big boss's desktop, and the big boss is standing opposite him. The protagonist lost the gun and said let's play a game, I count one, two, three, whoever grabs the gun will live. As a result, the big BOSS snatched it and fired a few shots, but there was no bullet in the gun. At this time, the special police rushed up and saw the big BOSS holding the gun and killed him as a gangster. It turns out that all this is pre-calculated by the actor. He knows the actions of the police, but the big boss doesn't. Seeing this, I laughed. Isn't this information asymmetry? How can investment bankers treat ordinary people? That's how the people treat you.
There was a line in the film that I was quite impressed with. It roughly meant that robbing a 50,000 yuan gas station would be sentenced, while the investment banker ran away 20 trillion yuan but nothing happened. It can only be solved by force. This is what the United States did against Afghanistan and Iraq.
Finance is worthy of being the best money-making business in the world. Investment banks get a fake company to go public. Regardless of whether investors make money or not, it will take commission anyway. Brokerage companies recommend stocks every day, regardless of whether the client makes money or not, it will take commission anyway. The fund manages investor funds. Regardless of whether the investor makes money or not, it will be commissioned anyway. If the investor earns, it will make more money, and lose a dime without spitting it out. Are there other businesses in the world that can make money regardless of the life and death of customers?
I can't help wondering how much money the director of this film has to lose to vent such emotions! Xiao San like me, I guess it will be very cool after watching this film!

    After breaking out of prison, the investment failed again. Walking on the road to justice, what an American movie. At the end of the small conspiracy, Xiao Liang, the escaped brother is too bitter and bitter.

    Could the ending be a bit more bullshit? Wouldn't it be a little bit more technical, okay?
