Here’s an excellent movie example of how Hollywood film makers are good at presenting truth and making it look like fiction. I haven’t seen the movie, but I scanned a review of “The Big Short” just a few hours ago. According to James Quinn, the reviewer, it should “f#^king piss people off” – but it won’t, in my opinion! Why not? Most of the sheeple will believe it’s fiction. I have abridged the review. (r. a. intro)
The Daily Sheeple By James Quinn Posted Fri., Dec.25, 2015
“The truth is like poetry and most people f^^king hate poetry!”
The Big Short opens nationwide today (Dec.24). But it happened to have one showing last night at a theater near me. My youngest son and I hopped in the car and went to see it.
The question was how do you make a movie about the housing market, mortgage backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, collateralized debt swaps, and synthetic CDOs interesting for the average person. Adam McKay as director succeeded beyond all expectations.
Interweaving pop culture icons, music, symbols of materialism, and unforgettable characters, McKay has created a masterpiece about the greed, stupidity, hubris, and arrogance of Wall Street bankers gone wild.
He skewers the faux financial journalists at the Wall Street Journal who didn’t want to rock the boat with the truth about the greatest fraud ever committed.
What makes the movie great are the characters, their motivations, their frustrations, their anger at a warped demented system, and ultimately their hollow victory when the entire edifice of fraud came crashing down on the heads of honest hard working Americans.
This is a dangerous movie for Wall Street, the government, and the establishment in general. They count on the complexity of Wall Street to confuse the average person and make their eyes glaze over. That makes it easier for them to keep committing fraud and harvesting the nation’s wealth.
Every American should see this movie and get f*cking pissed off. The theater was deathly silent at the end of the movie. The audience was stunned by the fact that the criminals on Wall Street got away with the crime of the century, and they’re still on the loose.
