Hmmm a little split over this doctor.

I actually liked how they included how politics really played a huge part in how the crisis was dealt with, something that not a lot of textile around this topic does.

BUT, if you're going to brand a flick all nigh how the decisions made at the time were unpopular just necessary you think they would go deeper and actually explicate to the viewers why...

Also they spend a disproportionate amount of fourth dimension (aka the entire time) talking about all the things they did right and mentioned nothing almost the mistakes they made. Aka all the times they **coughing cough Ben Bernanke** ignored signs of the housing chimera and the lack of supervisory…
This doc features extremely unethical people who are framed as heroes for stopping the very thing they should have been preventing. Information technology as well features interviews with 2 presidents, Bush and Obama, and many of the players. That said, this is a must see if you're interested in economics/the mechanics of what stopped the 2008 housing crises from shutting downwardly the global cyberbanking system. Or really to the point, the nature of Wall Street bailouts. Worth noting, Mike Pence, no matter where you look in history, is a royal piece of shit. To quote Alan Greenspan "If they're likewise big to fail, they're too large."
A drawn out HBO documentary film nigh the 2008 subprime mortgage debacle…here Hank Paulson as the current U.Southward. Secretarial assistant of Treasury explains how difficult the chore of trying to stave off a total U.Southward. economic plummet…but Hank, the former CEO of Goldman Sachs doesn't mention how he had no trouble netting billions of dollars by shorting the housing marketplace.

Wow, when I think back at the commencement of 2008 I myself was in the mist of 2 crises…one on the home front (which I shouldn't get into) and one at the workplace…yes, I was employed with Bear Stearns & Co. the start of the firms to fold under. Involved with both for nearly a quarter of a century (with the latter…
Kinda bullshit, but all this shit is so interesting.
the fact that none of these interviews were conducted in a prison is a travesty

absolutely the near loftier profile medico i have watched near the Cracking Recession. provides an angle on how Washington dealt with the crisis in a way similar docs practice non. besides god bless hank merely likewise not
this documentary infuriated me considering it ended upwardly being everyone who caused the fiscal crunch patting themselves on the dorsum for it non being as bad as it COULD take been. i don't want to listen to ben bernanke, who ignored multiple warning signs nigh the real manor bubble, talk about what a good job he did in making certain not ALL of people'due south houses were foreclosed and non ALL of people's retirement funds disappeared. we shouldn't accept had to bond out all these too-big-to-fail institutions because they shouldn't even Be in the position that declining takes down the organization as a whole. they never should have been immune to practice every single risky thing that led to their inevitable…
Documentary that follows the political side of how the financial crisis of 2008 was handled. Hank Paulson, Ben Bernake and Timothy Geitner, as well as the Republican and Democratic response while a Presidential election was happening.

Having seen a few documentaries on this pivotal financial crisis in history, most have focused on Lehman Bros. and AIG and others companies that took on loftier risk mortgage debt and not and then much on the political machinations where the Fed stepped in and tried to help resolve the state of affairs. Those of us not involved straight know this as the government bailout, which is a highly negative impression of what happened, but this shed a more positive light on why the Fed took the…
Not sure if I loved the quick spring at the finish claiming how all of this atomic number 82 to the rise of populism in America (an interesting thesis that should have been elaborated on rather than slapped onto the end) but a lot of the interviews presented here were fascinating.
Truthful panic is watching this and realizing that the people who constructed the response to the 2008 financial crunch are not in those positions anymore, and that if presented a similar crisis under this assistants, we'd be completely doomed. Because those men are leagues ahead in intelligence (an understatement), and considering we just don't feel that lucky anymore.
For an "untold" story I truly knew a heck of a lot.

Was fun to see the political players try to justify their decisions ten years later that caused millions of people to endure while Mr. CEO man was getting a 400 1000000 dollar bonus and claim "the public volition never know we saved them!" And by fun I mean I wanted to blow my brains out.

It was such a huge mistake trying to make Henry Paulson seem like a existent human being who has panic attacks because he can't get republicans and democrats to agree. And so blame the public for resorting to "populist" movements like following Donald Trump because of the crunch.

However, I would say this was very educational and gave me a better sense of the events going on in wallstreet/DC during the 2008 financial crisis.

Don't recommend. Simply watch the big short instead.
A case report of the great America causing a mess, spreading the mess and causing more of a mess by trying to fix information technology
Who would be surprised that the people who basically caused the 2008 fiscal crunch would think that they were actually helping stop the situation without taking whatsoever responsibility for their actions, or lack of action?

Ane of the least shocking things in the world.
