Seen it and pissssed me off, we've been facking mugged 3 times by these banking cants.
First time by betting on the housing market to crash causing millions of people to lose money
Second time bail out with our tax money
Third time banks became more expensive and squeezing more money out of you because they had to recuperate their losses.
The facking nerves of these maggots.
And no one ever got punished, all these big wigs still collecting their massively inflated bonuses.
Aaarhg, facking cants all need shot

That quote at the end by Steve carrels character was bang on about blaming the poor and immigrants instead of the bankers.
And only 1 person served jail time. Ridiculous.
Really interesting film, even the bits that could have been really cheesy (Margot Robbie in a bath etc) were well done.
99 Homes with Andrew Garfield and Michael Shannon is a must see too IMO, as is Inside Job.
It's a documentary about the crash where the Wall St 's seem to be blind sided by the interviewer and, at times, let their guard down and show what pieces of sh*t they are.
I'd honestly like to disband the entire private banking industry and only have a Government/publicly owed banks.
Make money to run the whole thing from lending, then give back a small about to savers - it's simple if you purge all the greedy caants.
This movie has 2 quotes to remember:
1. No one can see a bubble. That's what makes it a bubble.
2. Tell me the difference between stupid and illegal and I'll have my wife's brother arrested.
*give back a small amount...
That first cameo in the bath was greatness, totally threw me off. Best uses of cameos in a film ever in my opinion.
Amazing film. The film illustrated the meltdown pretty damn well. Carell is becoming a force of acting - Foxcatcher then this. The performances were amazing all round.

Will never happen in capatilyst countries not that it's a bad idea
I worked in the money markets from the age of 18 until I was 31. I quit because I just could no longer stomach the moral bankruptcy of it all.
That was 1999, it's only gotten worse. For many a year now I only do the minimal business through a high street bank, but with an ethical bank. I'm not going to change the world, but I refuse to put any more cash than is strictly necessary into the pockets of the leeches that run the banking racket.
If you have your reservations about how banks go about their business, give it a try. Feyenoord, it's a Dutch bank, btw.
Stretty, thanks for the heads up regarding the film, will try to catch it.
These banks wrote loans to people who they knew could never pay them back, in order to purchase homes that the real estate market had grossly inflated. How in the world did no one from Stanley Morgan, Bear Stearns, or Deutsche Bank go to prison?

Carrells been one of my fave actors for about 6 years now. His range is amazing. Such a good comedic actor and in more serious roles has shown the same level of quality.

Defo try to if you can it's certainly not one that you will think you've wasted time by watching.
Gosling, Pitt, carell and bale are all phenomenal in it.

Funnily enough, in The Big Short, Brad Pitt plays a character who quit the industry "out of disgust" still got filthy rich from the crash, but still.
I agree with one of the points made at the end of the film, and I think it applies to some career politicians too, when they mess up, we assume it's because they're incompetent when actually, they know what they're doing but they just don't give a sh*t.
Also rogue trader is another one to watch but that's a lot older. And nowhere near as good. But still decent.

They literally don't care and and it can't get much worse than what happened in 2008 so you know if people didn't go to jail for that they never will. These firms make rich people a lot richer which is why they don't suffer consequences
Maddest thing is that after the crash they repackaged these ridiculous mortgages they were selling and sold them again

Not based on me, I assure you.
Quality film but it makes you angry beyond belief that we bow down to these leeches even when they were in the wrong.
It happened before it will happen again.
The banks never lose. We do.
The system is purposely designed to continually syphon as much money as possible from what is generally a very unsuspecting public.
Despite what many think, we don't live in a free-market economy. Booms and busts are manipulated, ie they don't 'just happen'. The banking system wins regardless of which way the economy turns.
We're due (yet another!) almighty crash as once again the banks (the elite) have gambled with OUR LIVES for their own personal gain and once again it's US who will suffer, NOT THEM!
The sad thing is, and despite all the evidence, we continue to let them do it.
PS Ever wondered why account holders are so far down the list of creditors if a bank goes bust? Because when you put your money into a bank, it ceases to become 'your' money. It's theirs.
Caaaants, the lot of them.
If this film gets you mad don't read about the Rothschilds your head will explode
