blow up the bank manager

A 2015 Spanish commercial, thriller film. The story fairly describes a middle-aged bank manager, suffering from a mid-life crisis, family discord, kidnapped for extortion on a sunny day, driving a car full of explosives to run around the city. Then go through all the ashes and be reborn, comprehend how real life is, and be a good story of being a man again. There are some seemingly conventional plots, but when thinking about it as a commercial movie, there are still many places worth thinking about. As a bank manager, the protagonist receives a call from the boss at the beginning of the film, asking him to deal with a difficult case. The general meaning is that the bank sells a batch of options to customers, but because the company's internal operation problems will affect the income, the bank is the first to get the news. In order to recover the options before the official announcement of the news, the bank intends to use a part of the fund as compensation. At the same time, boss also said that if customers see it right, tell them it is out of their own interests, and the bank's analysts think that the rate of return is higher. Later in the film, the protagonist also complains when he and his colleagues order the task. Even if it is a feasibility analysis report, there are many uncertainties and risks in the investment behavior of big banks.

At the climax of the film, the protagonist intends to use the customer's deposit to open a new account to earn a ransom because he cannot withdraw cash. As the protagonist of the bank manager, contact the customer with priority (VIP) without any basis, and without the customer signing the agreement, he can freely use the margin to establish an account and improve the operation. Immediately afterwards, the protagonist sold 200,000 tens of thousands of shell investment projects to customers only by virtue of his personal reputation and phone calls, which has to be admired. At the end of the film, the protagonist finally faces his heart and confesses that as bank managers, they still sell to customers even though they know that the investment projects they sell have high risks, and they don't let them know. And this huge loss has become a sharp knife to kill the kidnapper's wife, which is also the bitter fruit of investors' desire. In such an era, our financial brokers, under the control of the trust of customers and the funds of their lives, make choices that are not entirely based on the interests of customers. The flow and income of funds here seems to be a fairy-tale beautiful and simple return, but the investor who pays in the end can only watch the field of hope forever.

At the end of the film, the new boss wants the protagonist to join them, saying that he thinks he is doing well in crisis management (a good investment project salesman), the protagonist has no luxury BMW X5, just simply golf, listening to the new boss. Words, disdainfully throw the phone aside, huh, huh.
