The film is adapted from the real 2008 financial crisis. It takes a giant financial institution on Wall Street in the United States as the entry point, and uses 24 hours to deduce the general mobilization of the company from the top to the top to the white-collar employees to deal with the eve of darkness. The film made a boring and colorless financial incident with flesh and blood, which is not only due to the high emotional intelligence of the screenwriter, but also thanks to the delicate performance of the leading soul Kevin Spacey. The subtle emotions of good and evil are brought into full play. If you don't know anything about financial knowledge, then Kevin Spacey and a few handsome guys and Demi Moore will become the only people to pay attention to in the film.
In fact, the financial crisis in reality is not as thrilling and sensational as it appears in the film. When the gold standard was abolished by Western countries during the First World War, periodic periods of currency devaluation and inflation were already doomed. Not even a fuss is to be made to be touted by some expert groups defending the free economy as a natural reconciliation by the invisible hand of "Mr. Market." The most obvious manifestation is the exchange and replacement of bull markets and bear markets in the stock market. Only in this way can capitalists play capital games endlessly and ruthlessly kill those unprepared business rookies. It's just that the game was played out of control this time, and the dealer was also caught in it and couldn't extricate himself. As early as the 1980s and 1990s, relevant professionals had already warned about this kind of snowball game, but everyone was intoxicated with joy and had no time to care. In 2008, when the Queen of England lost £37 million in an instant, she ranted about why Americans didn't stop a financial crisis that they knew would come, but no one answered.
It is worth noting that two characters with backgrounds in bridge design and rocketry are specially arranged in the film to be the tipping point of the whole incident. They could have made a great contribution to the country in their professional field, but only because of financial The high salary of the industry makes it easy to give up one's profession and invest in it, thus starting a huge disaster for the whole people, which has great irony and critical spirit. In the film, when Kevin Spacey faced the storm, he acted calmly, only focusing on the life and death of his dog and showing no mercy to his subordinates. It was precisely because these things happened all the time. is too commonplace. No matter the life or death of others, it is a trivial matter for managers, and it also greatly reflects the ruthless side of capitalist countries when facing all living beings.
