Nhu Nguyen History 8 Film Review - Inside Job Inside Job From the 1920s to 2009 the United States history experienced a number of economic downturns; however, the most significant was the Great Recession of the early 2000s. And the movie "Inside Job" which is staged under the direction of famed director Charles Ferguson, is a true narrative of the worst economic events in history. There are five parts totally in the film including: How We Got Here, The Bubble, The Crisis, Accountability, and Where We Are Now. The crisis is closely comparable with an abyss, engulfing the world's strongest economy. It also has collapsed the entire monetary system of leading banks and led to the bankruptcy of a series of economic groups. This is a failure of policy, systematic faults. The crisis also forces the world to rethink the moral philosophy of development. I absolutely agree with the film that the cause of economic crisis was not only by the objective factors such as securitization and the housing boom but also by subjective factors. These are the abolition or the reduction of market regulations, a lack of supervision and personal interests that blind the eyes of those who are important to the movement of the market. Eliminate market regulations called "deregulation". Deregulation began in the 1980s and continues until the days of President Bush and Obama. Deregulation paved the way for the formation of investment banks and financial giants, along with the introduction of complex
“Inside Man” was released in 2006 and would later become the highest grossing film for the director Spike Lee. The film is a crime-drama, located primarily in a bank in New York City run by multi billionaire Arthur Case. Although the film is a thriller and contains bits of action and suspense, the movie focuses heavily on the difference between good and evil. The movie begins with a shot in medias res of Clive Owen’s character Dalton Russell explaining the difference between being stuck in a tiny cell and being in prison while he moves around a small room
In his 1916 silent-film Intolerance, D.W. Griffith pioneered editing techniques that helped establish montage as a core component of film language. Griffith set out to unite four disparate storylines under the common theme of love’s eternal battle with intolerance. While Griffith believed this film achieved its goal, some of his contemporaries argued that Intolerance was a “magnificent failure” (Eisenstein, 241). Indeed, Eisenstein proposed that the unification Griffith sought to create was impossible because the juxtaposition of these stories did not create new meaning. Instead, Eisenstein wrote that the lack of conflict between shots prevented the synthesis of a higher meaning, or montage trope. While it is true that Intolerance generally does not accomplish montage trope, especially when referencing Walt Whitman’s Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking, where Griffith explicitly attempts it, there are examples of its implementation. Griffith does manage to achieve this higher meaning in the scene depicting a labor strike. Eisenstein’s claim that Griffith never incorporates montage tropes into his films is false as demonstrated by the social criticism in the juxtaposition of the striking mill workers and Mr. Jenkins.
Sadness, Joy, Fear, Disgust and Anger. Five emotions felt by human beings on a regular basis. These five emotions are personified as characters in the movie “Inside Out”. The movie Inside Out is about an 11-year-old girl named Riley who is living a happy life until she moves with her family to San Francisco (Rivera, Docter, del Carmen, 2015). Cognitive, social and linguistic development are all essential parts that contribute to the development of a growing child, such as Riley. The movie displays these types of development in terms of memories, emotions, attention, humor and many other aspects. The purpose of this paper will be to explain why the movie Inside Out (2015) is appropriate for children ages 6 to 12 years of age in terms of their cognitive, social and linguistic development.
The Inside Job is a movie that was documented by Charles Ferguson in 2010, which clearly depicted the 2008 financial crisis. The director did a great job comprehensively narrating and showing the causes, key financial contributors, and unintended consequences. It goes further into details of systematic corruption by those in the finance market and the effects of their corruption in the United States. Additionally, it uncovered that changes in financial as well as other polices and banking practices contributed to the growth of the crisis causing most Americans to lose their investments, jobs and homes. The subsequent paragraphs will continue to describe how the positive intentions of financial innovation and regulations often contribute to unintended consequences, as well as how the financial crisis of 2008 occurred and who is to blame.
I believe the the Great Recession of 2008 was the fault of the Government. The Government did not not properly regulate and had relaxed rules. The made many assumptions also. For example, the just assumed that the British would help them. Because of the way the Government is made the were not able to make changes fast enough. Like it said in the video our class watched,”Congress can not flush a toilet in a day”. I do not believe that you can blame the investment banks or the people. The were just doing what the rules allowed them to do. It is basic human nature. It is the Government's fault for allowing lenient laws. Also, the Government's job is to make sure that everything in the U.S. is going alright. It clearly wasn’t and the Government
The Big Short The movie “The Big Short,” directed by Adam McKay shines a light on corruption in Wallstreet. Although corruption was interesting through the movie, the risk of about the loans was more exciting. Perhaps, the most interesting parts of the film are self-enrichment by taking advantage of the desire of others, lack of questioning the system, and lack of empty. I will focus on the three elements illustrated above because I believe a mix of the three caused the “The Big Short.” The lack of empty was astonishing because the salesman bragged about taking advantage of immigrants and other individuals because it benefited their pockets.
The Movie "Inside Job" happens in Fall 2008 amid a worldwide retreat bringing on a whole country of individuals to misfortune their reserve funds, homes, and occupations. The storyteller, Matt Damon paints a reasonable delineation of the occasions, for example, deregulation, theft and IRS evasion in which hinted at the economy ruin.
“Working Girl,” depicts important battles that women are still fighting today, it brings light to the ridiculous judgments and barriers that women had to smash to establish themselves in the business field. The film was written by Kevin Wade and released in 1988, the story is based in New York City from the inspiration of New York commuters and the noticing that many young women were wearing white tennis shoes on their way to work, carrying high heels to change into once arriving to work. Tess McGill, an undervalued and mistreated sectary to the ultimate feministic triumph, Kathrine Parker who steals Tess McGill’s idea for a radio deal for their company, are the main characters. While Kathrine Parker is on a skiing trip and breaks her
Individuals were evicted from their homes and companies downsized in order to combat poor economic conditions. In the film The Big Short, after the “housing bubble” burst, many of the working class individuals that invested their hard earned money were left devastated. The fundamental cause for the collapse was due to the big banks deceitful and fraudulent activity. Those who possessed wealth or were categorized in the upper class bracket were bailed out by the big banks. The financial collapse was one of the first eye openers for the American people.
All of these components manufactured the financial crisis. Right after the crisis, banks were strict on lending to households and businesses. The decline in lending caused prices in these markets to trickle down, which means those that have taken a lot, had to contemplate on the rising prices and had to give up their estates in order to repay their loans. House prices became cheaper and everything burst. This lead banks to panic and cut their lending even more. A downward spiral resulted from all of this, and the economy went into recession.
Section Two: 1. The documentary, “Inside Job” provides an interpretation of the causes and consequences of the 2008 global financial crisis. Is this interpretation compelling? Be sure to include institutional, ideological and interest factors in your analysis. The movie, the
I concluded six months ago (Truman 2008) that there was no shared diagnosis of the origins of this crisis. Nothing that I have heard or read since then has convinced me otherwise. If anything, disagreements have become more intense, in the meantime. This fact hampers our ability to learn the proper lessons from this crisis. This fact also means that it is useful for me to declare my own biases in advance. Conventionally, causes of this financial crisis include some or all of the four following elements: macroeconomic policies, financial-sector supervision and regulation, financial engineering, and the global activities of large private financial institutions. The context for each element is the United States or other similarly advanced countries.
Apparently, the financial crisis that began in August of 2007 were the product of several minor issues such as poor risk controls, too much leverage, and an almost willful blindness to the bubble-like conditions in the housing market but the actual root cause was the collapse of the ethical behavior especially on the part of the top executives of the most financial institutions and the loss of any sense of fiduciary responsibility to the ultimate client.
What caused the financial crisis to happen? The origin of the crisis, the film argues, can be traced back to the 1980s, when the process of deregulation was eagerly implemented under the Reagan Era. Prior to the emergence of Reaganomics, the financial industry was tightly regulated following the Great Depression. Most of the banks were local and were prohibited from speculating customers’ deposits (brought by the Glass-Steagall Act), while the investment banks were modest and private. However, everything changed after 1980, when Ronald Reagan became president and the U.S economy entered a thirty-year phase of deregulation. Financial institutions, which included commercial and investment banks then embarked on the process of maximizing profit by making risky investments with the depositors’ money. By the end of the decade, saving and loans companies went bankrupt, causing tax payers to lose more than one hundred billion dollars. However, the government did not implement any reform and deregulation continued to take place under the Clinton
The Global Financial Crisis that occurred in 2008 and crippled every major economy was not an accident; it was caused by an unregulated and uncontrolled financial industry.
