Inside Job

Honestly, as soon as I started watching this documentary, I just couldn't get myself to pay attention. I felt bombarded with information! About fifteen minutes into it, I started it back up again and tried to focus. I began listening to a few minutes and then pausing to understand what I had just viewed. I found this documentary to be very informative with a vast amount of evidence and interviews to back up each point. Before watching Inside Job, I never really paid attention to why our system collapsed, but I now have a clearer understanding. Since the markets were so unregulated and corrupt, enormous amounts of money were being borrowed without the ability to pay it back. This went on and on until finally the entire system crashed in 2008 which was the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. I liked how the interviewers put the interviewees on the spot and did not settle with lies. Inside Job portrays the economic downfall for what it is through bar graphs, actual data, and makes it easier for viewers to truly understand what happened and why. It presents viewers with scientific data and emphasizes the demolition/effects of the financial crisis.





And here I posted an interview from the intelligent and well-spoken Charles Ferguson, the director of Isnide Job.
