Inside Job

IFN and tonight's pick is "Inside Job", a documentary about how the banks orchestrated and profited from the economic collapse of 2008. Now to be fair, a movie about the corruption and greed within the banking industry and Wall Street probably isn't a 14 year old's cup of tea, but he sat through it and had some good questions afterwards. And the film itself was good in a nothing-I-didn't-know already but appreciated the bar charts and infographics sort of way. It was good. Well narrated, with a good soundtrack, some nice awkward moments interviewing the key people, and a proper sense of outrage as you see them all rewarded - in the hundreds of millions of dollars - and with key government positions - for a job truly terribly done. And worth it to see how corruption is spreading itself throughout the US Universities and educational systems. Not a happy film, but a necessary one. And sadly it probably won't change a thing. But we can't say we weren't warned.
