The short shorts.

Clips of a kaleidoscope spree, rock soundtrack, "unique" discerning doctor Dr. Fund manager. The main characters are already middle and high-level people who have turned the clouds and rains with one hand. The financial migrant workers who are really bitter will only be like the crowd who filed out in the last bankrupt investment bank, and they will not have the emotions of jumping up and down and roller coaster in their daily work.

The two sides of a coin are very real, the closer to the money there is darkness of all types.

The look and feel is better than "Too Big To Fail", probably because the investor's perspective is naturally more approachable than the regulator's perspective.

Directors and writers use a lot of grounded explanations to explain how the basic spinoff works. Guest roles are also star-studded.

The remarks of the retired banker played by Pitt when the two small characters danced for their huge profits are the only words in the whole film that shine with human care before the banker reflects on the final system collapse. "If the unemployment rate rises by one point, 40,000 people will lose everything."

What I have experienced deeply in the past six months and a year is that only when you really stand in front of the market can you feel it better. This is a completely different feeling from paper to paper.

It turns out that 15 years ago, securitization and CDO were not so popular, and the development of financial products was really fast... American films still have a heavy stereotype of Chinese people, such as quanter Yang and CDO managers, all of whom have Asian faces. S&P, as a rating agency, was also stabbed in the dark, and Moody's next door laughed without saying a word.

Maybe one day, I will get tired of the bustling and enjoy the life of the idyllic ranch and escape from the high pressure, and only keep small investments. But now, Welcome to the real world my dearest.
