This film is the best documentary at the 83rd Oscar. Through interviews with a series of Wall Street tycoons, government celebrities, economists, and university professors, it is very systematic, very organized, very sharp, and uses the most plain
language for us . Uncover the reasons for the global economic crisis that has affected the present in 2008. This unprecedented economic crisis has led to countless bankruptcies, and the film attempts to explore what caused it all, exposing the
nature of capitalism.
The film is divided into five parts to explain to us:
PART 1:How we got here?
PART 2: The Bubble (2001-2007)
PART 3: The Crisis Crisis
PART 4: Accountability
PART 5: Where we are now? How bad is the situation?
Sometimes some friends around me think that I am more foreign-oriented, because I always like to watch American sci-fi movies and listen to American pop music. But I don’t think that’s actually the case. I’m just asking for something better. Just like this movie
, Americans can criticize their own country. Public college funding is shrinking and tuition is rising; Americans' ability to go to college is increasingly being determined by whether they
can afford tuition. Taxes are skewed toward the rich, and the gap between the rich and the poor is widening; this is Wall Street's government (because the film Finally: the Wall Street tycoons who led to this economic crisis are still being appointed by Obama as the government's top economic official
. The reforms that Obama promised during his election campaign have not materialized).
At the end of the film, the Statue of Liberty appears on the camera, and next to it says: "At least there is something worth fighting for!"

Inside Job quotes

  • Andrew Lo: Recently, neuroscientists have done experiments where they've taken individuals and put them into an MRI machine. And they have them play a game where the prize is money. And they noticed that when these subjects earn money, the part of the brain that gets stimulated is the same part that cocaine stimulates.

  • [last lines]

    Narrator: For decades the American financial system was stable and safe. But then something changed. The financial industry turned its back on society, corrupted our political system and plunged the world economy into crisis. At enormous cost, we've avoided disaster and are recovering. But the men and institutions that caused the crisis are still in power and that needs to change. They will tell us that we need them and that what they do is too complicated for us to understand. They will tell us it won't happen again. They will spend billions fighting reform. It won't be easy. But some things are worth fighting for.
