Too big to fail

Regardless of whether this film truly reflects and restores the truth, or whether it is to wash the ground for Paulson, whoever should bear the blame for the financial crisis will put it aside. First of all, as a film, it is very successful. The rhythm is in place. From the beginning of the film, a string in my mind is tensed. There are various conflicts one after another, twists and turns. encounter reversal. The resolution of the crisis is not smooth sailing, nor is there a superhero with unparalleled wisdom, not the protagonist who solves all the problems as soon as they appear, and not the cheap pleasure that one person saves the world brings to me and other assholes. What you're seeing is the result of a constant struggle to reconcile the balance of power on all sides

    The American media and the producers and directors of some documentaries are really excellent. They focus on major social issues and can quickly record history in their own way. This film is a good example. I read a few about the financial crisis in 2008, and they all have their own priorities. This film starts from the response of the US Treasury Department, because the Secretary of the Treasury is unlikely to be interviewed in the form of a documentary, so they use the form of this drama
