good business ethics movie

I roughly read the reviews, and many people gave it a low score because they thought it was a not-so-good thriller. But it's really a film about ethics, the sins of the deal and the place of the media between the individual and the institution.
In the first half of the film, the male protagonist called on the audience in front of the TV to buy the stock of Toki to save themselves, but some people took the opportunity to ship it, and the stock price fell instead of rising. Investors are willing to watch someone die because of it for their own benefit. Do you need to be human when you trade? Or should the machine just care about the numbers on the account?
In the second half of the film, the kidnappers questioned the CEO of Toki if he knew that his behavior of manipulating the stock price was wrong, but he was asked if he could give an example of what law he violated. Should the transaction be maximized within the limits of the law? Or should there be a bottom line?

    The first half is okay, but the second half that I don't like is a process of gradually revealing the secrets, or various routines.

    Teacher Zhu has made a qualitative leap this time, and I am delighted. Watching the movie does not require any financial background knowledge, because everyone is living in the nonsense, which is almost no different from our real world, so there are no bugs.

Money Monster quotes

  • Lee Gates: [to Walt during a live broadcast of Money Monster] Once again it all boils down to good old fashioned fraud

  • Lee Gates: You know what happened. It was a computer glitch.

    Kyle Budwell: A glitch! A glitch! A glitch! Shut up about the glitch! All right? What the hell does that even mean? You see, you don't even know. I'm not stupid, Lee. I told you, because somehow these clowns lost $800 million overnight. Overnight. And nobody's even actually explained how. How is something like that even possible, huh? It's not a rhetorical question. I want an answer.

    Lee Gates: What do you want from me, man? I don't run Ibis. I'm just a guy on TV.

    Kyle Budwell: Shut up, Lee! Shut up! No, no. Do not do that, Lee. Do not do that. You don't get to pass the buck today, Lee. Not today. Not with me.
