9 Three kinds of hate

After watching this film, a question that has always made me think: Why should Ben, who deeply hates the financial system but has already washed his hands, go back to his old business? Gass participated in the forum, even though he knew the consequences of the future economic collapse of the United States, he did not stop. I think I was originally a hermit. Working in the financial industry made him see the intrigue and bloodshed. He hated capitalists who were high above and cared about the lives of ordinary people. Finally, he quit the industry, ran gardens, cared about seeds, and hoped to be self-sufficient. This is quite like a hermit who lived a pastoral life after resigning from office in ancient China, but he did not quit completely. I guess he is still doing securities investment transactions and relying on this to make a living, but he is not a trader. as a retail investor, which can be seen from the equipment and sounds around the duo's first call to him, so when the duo asked him for help, the opportunity came to him and he couldn't refuse Ah (ask a retail investor who finds internal information who can refuse?), and when the agreement was finally sold, the transaction price should be 84 million (the final price was 8400 and 7800 when bargaining), but when he told the duo because The first time I didn't make it clear, the second time I said "No, eighty million", why is there a no in front of it? I guess he ate the 4 million by himself, or where did his big orchard come from at the end? ? (The 84 million guess is questionable) In the end, the duo asked him why he wanted to work with them. He said, "You guys want to make a fortune, and now you are rich." Excuse me? Just helping friends? Maybe there is another way Perhaps, first of all, he and the financial industry are estranged, and the subsequent operations are just to help friends. Mark's hatred of the financial industry is the helplessness of hating iron and steel. He is most annoying when others leave a mess and leave. In the end, he will make a lot of money to make those bankers bleed, but he likes this business, and he starts calling that. Duan Lian said 4 sentences "I love my job". He also hates the changes this business has brought to him. He can't communicate with others, and he doesn't care enough about his family. The death of his younger brother makes him fall into deep self-blame. If Mike wants to express a kind of hatred, what he hates is the state of being immersed in it for two years, the denial of the boss, the self-doubt, the withdrawal of investors, the continuous decline in the net value of corporate profits, etc. Devouring him, killing the most important part of his life:

    It is not easy to explain such a boring and complicated thing in finance. The editing is quite fancy, but as far as the movie is concerned, it is just average. After reading it, I felt a kind of sadness. ★★★☆

    8.5 It is rare to see such a wealth of audiovisual language, straightforward and honest attitude and objective sense of morality in a Hollywood A-level production. In terms of photography and editing, it is like an American New Wave movie, with free and changeable techniques. Even Margot Robbie will be invited to explain financial terminology for you to replace traditional narrative devices. The play is also anti-hero and anti-climax, and this may be the most appropriate attitude towards this subprime mortgage crisis story.
