Inside Job
- Who's watched: Watched and bought this movie AMD
- Mentions: None
- Commentary: I can't tell you how many times I've watched this movie. Although it has a clear political point, it also contains an explanation of the financial crisis that I understand and the special features never fail to remind me of aspects of the financial crisis I continue to feel the need to research, as more and more opinion is added to the expanding conversation about what happened then and what's happening now as a result. It's like a class outline for me.
Update 2/7/18: Surprisingly, the commercial site for this movie, to which the title is linked, is still fully active. It still contains a lot of material that would be of interest to people intrigued by this movie. You have to click links to go deeper into the website, but it's worth it. Just in case, though, here is the link for the Wikipedia page on this movie.
Update 4/25/21: Well, the website for this movie still exists, but it no longer contains anything, links or information, about the movie, other than the trailer. Interesting how here we are, in Pandemic Land 2020/2021, with oligarchs reportedly become richer and richer, beyond their wildest dreams, and ordinary citizens are becoming poorer and poorer, despite their meager, day-to-day, wanting-to-simply-live-without-hassles dreams. Conspiracy theory, anyone? Anyway, I'm replacing the link to Sony's web page for this movie with Roger Ebert's review. However, just out of curiosity, here's the Sony link to it's own movie. Let's see how long it'll be before they take it down. You can bet I'll be checking back, occasionally.
