I think the movie did a superb job of displaying the events that occurred and impact its going to have. It really showed the corruption going on between the government and extremely large companies. The same people keep rotating from the government to wall street, and to prestegious colleges. They all help out each other rather than doing their intended job. The people in the government help these big businesses by bailing them out. Professors at colleges help the big businesses also by being an advocate for them. When they make a mistake in business, they go to the government or become a professor, and then eventually come back to business. There is too much corruption going on, and a wakeup call has already been issued from the recession.

After watching this movie, I have realized that the government, in many ways, can be corrupt. Additionally, CEOs of companies and other officials “high up” in our society are corrupt as well. For example, the Harvard professors who write positive reports may be corrupt because of their insanely high payment. They care about the money, not about the report that the company might actually deserve. The interviewer exposes this corruption, and the officials try to hide what they are doing and try to justify their countless atrocities.

Interesting to learn about the corrupton on wall street. People are getting paid to write bias reports. People are also getting paid millions just to sit on the board of a large financial corportaion. These types of acts have to be regulated. The movie was great and portrayed this corruption.

This movie was very significant in the fact that it showed me how corrupt our financial system truly is. I never really understood what in fact was going on within the walls of the U.S. and worldwide financial systems, but after watching this movie I truly now understand how corrupt the systems all are (especially ours).

movie was extremely informative and exposed the corruption in our government and financial system. It showed that many top executives, if not all, have a conflict of interest. In order for our country to experience change and recovery, there needs to be an attempt to rid the government of all who contributed to the financial crisis we are currently in.

I think that the government should do a better job with keeping track of the big companies. Companies shouldn’t be stealing money from investors. I think if the government worked hard enough, they can stop this problem.

I had previously assumed that the people in charge of running the government and big businesses were at least remotely competent at what they do and that they achieved their positions because of hard work and honest persistence. However, it now quite obvious that these people are where they are because of their incessant greed and thirst for money and power. In the end, all that these men do isn’t even for the good of the companies that they helped to establish, rather, their efforts are all for the purpose of filling their pockets with hundreds of millions of dollars which they can then use to avoid criminal charges.

I learned that the government is more corrupt than anybody really understands. Workers for the government were taken from jobs on Wall Street and put to work as treasury workers or tax executives. They favored the company left from and drove their competitors into the ground. The rich keep getting richer as there continues to be little to no help for the poor. The government is corrupted with power hungry individuals who caused the market to crash in late 2007 which is still seen today. This country needs a person who will run the treasury as an unbiased individual and knows how to handle money.

This movie showed what a large role the investment banks had in the downfall of the economy. It showed how corrupt they were and how all the bankers and the people involved in this were all selfish and were lying for the benefit of themselves by hurting other people.

enjoyed the movie because I didn’t really understand the recession and this was a nice way for me to learn about it in a way I can understand. It was also funny how the guys that are guilty were being interviewed and they didn’t know what to say.

I thought this movie was really interesting. I liked the part when the real estate agents gipped the family from San Jose by charging higher mortgage rates so the family can pay more.

It is appalling to see how corrupt the financial market is and how the heads of these big banks and investment companies don’t seem to care how they have affected other people other than saying that it’s “Unfortunate.” The corruption carries over into the government as they are heavily influenced by lobbyists from these investment banks and they don’t enforce or prosecute any of the heads of these companies, as only very few are in jail or penalized. I found it interesting when someone said that gap between the middle class and the upper class was substantially growing, but I disagree; to me it feels as if nowadays there is only a lower class and the upper class based on the difference of their standards of living.

I thought it was horrible that so many people can lose their jobs during a recession. All these huge companies should make lower prices for house hold items to help out people. The government has become very corrupt. I think it’s bad that the gap between the upper and middle class is huge.

The most surprising thing is that the investment banks bet against the mortgages that they gave out. It shows their enormous greed and their inhumanity. They will go to any length for personal profit, even betting against crappy mortgages that they themselves sold to the public. They would ruin the U.S. economy for their own gain. Also, the top 1% of U.S. citizens has an incredible amount of the wealth in the U.S. The crisis could be helped by spreading the wealth more evenly.

I was pretty surprised at how much corruption and unjustness our economy has. I never really realized that all these major companies and even the government would take part in taking advantage of any situation for their own benefit. They propose ideas and plans in hopes of making profit, but when it fails, the rest of the economy excluding them has to pay for the damages. Also it is really scary at how these CEO’s and important figure heads act as if they did or nothing actually happened and also the government doesn’t do anything to punish them.

This movie not only describes the cause of the financial crisis, it outlines the steps the world took to get there. It converts the financial jargon into simplistic terms to highlight all the flaws and greed within our financial system. It also exposes the CEO’s and executive leaders of investment banks for the bribes they took in order to convince the world everything was fine. This movie expertly described our entire financial institution and makes the viewer realize the need for reform.
