Inside Job plot
"The film that cost $20,000,000,000,000 to make"
This documentary demystifies the complex mechanisms that led to the loss of millions of jobs and homes during the recent financial crisis. We see how politicians have been dismantling government regulation for decades, Wall Street intensifying its risk-taking behavior and the 'big' business schools have no answer to the inescapable problems.

Have seen multiple films (both fiction and non-fiction) of this genre and it remains sad and baffling how the financial world caused the credit crunch misery in 2008. Also that hardly anything has been learned since then and we now seem to be on the old road again for a while until the next crisis breaks out again. If you've seen The Big Short, In Inside Job is the documentary version of it. I already knew a lot, but I didn't know that the academic world is also so intertwined with the financial world. Very shocking indeed, because you expect education to take up a free and independent position. Not so 
Anyway, I haven't heard many new things for the rest, but this topic remains interesting and is neatly explained and yes, it is a lot of interview what you get to see. However, the makers of this documentary have tried to show as many different points of view as possible. Despite some rejections from people who can't look themselves in the mirror, it worked out quite well and you get a complete picture of this madness.

When I first saw this movie several years ago, I was hooked from start to finish. I'm actually not much of a documentary viewer, but this one really looks away like hardly a thriller can match. Perhaps that is also the strength of director Ferguson. Matt Damon's voice-over is also nicely chosen.
This documentary film proves wryly that not government leaders rule the world but companies and especially banks run by families in the background, the Rockefellers, Rothchilds, the Italian Medici family and so on. This stunt with CDOs and CDF derivatives in the security food chain was just the tip of the iceberg.
Disgusting if you think about it. A sick perverted musical chair dance of figures and front men who keep on staying in power while draining more and more money from governments as interest payments on government debts, forcing countries to cut their own social services while the private sector gets richer. Disgusting. Corporations are getting more powerful, countries are increasingly being ruled by front men, idiots like Trump. Just look at the low interest rates these days, my money is already at home in a safe.
But don't let me digress, nice documentary with top score as far as I'm concerned in the docu genre.

No bag on. Unilateral attack on the financial sector, through mediocre interviews. I can't do anything with it. Lots of statistics and amounts, and apparently nobody wants to respond from the banking world. I think we kind of know what kind of world we live in. Wouldn't surprise me that do-gooder Charles Ferguson himself would sell junk to his customers if he would get big bonuses for that. 
Selfishness, money, you name it. Bankers who choose for themselves (at the expense) of others, which ultimately - in the big picture - leads to big problems. I didn't need all this endless posturing.
