These companies are purchasing houses at record rates and raising the price of living. This is no secret. While they may pay you a little more and that may be enticing, it inflates everything. When housing gets more expensive, everything gets more expensive. Sell to individuals. Please.
Make no mistake this is an ensemble cast film with lots of great talent, but for anyone who may work in corporate jobs, not necessarily investment banking but corporations in general where wearing a suit and going to the office is something you once did, there should be a lot to relate to.
I love seeing the brilliant delivery of people like Zach Quinto, Paul Bettany, Stanley Tucci, Demi Moore, Jeremy Irons and heck even Kevin Spacey.
While to a regular person, all of these individuals are very well off and paid well above average median income, their personal struggles with the situation really present different perspectives to appreciate.
What I really love about this film is you really don't have to know finance, investment banking, heck even all of the ins and outs of 2008. You don't have to know which firm this whether it's Bear, Lehman, Goldman, etc.
It's become a background film for me while working, or a pass the time while doing something type of film but when I pay attention I'm always impressed by the script and the way the actors deliver.
Maybe i'm off base, but when I watch this film I can put myself in any of these peoples shoes for a second or heck be the general public and want to storm the gates with pitchforks.
