November 15, 2010: Inside Job
If you want to be scared about the way the world works in the backrooms and boardrooms, with powerful men (yes, still mostly men) divvying up the world among themselves, look no further than Inside Job. An eye-opening treatise on the players and the causes involved with the global economic meltdown of 2008, Inside Job does its research and highlights connections which should have made it obvious where things were heading, if the people who were supposed to object to these things weren’t all being paid off by the ones who didn’t want it known.
The sad thing is, even with everything being very well documented and commonly known, for some reason it’s still not possible to fix it. Powerful entrenched interests have never been easy to dislodge, and it usually seems to require revolution, but modern-day western society will do absolutely anything to avoid such chaotic and potentially violent action at home, despite our willingness to inflict it upon distant lands elsewhere on the planet. Inside Job is a horror film of a whole different kind, one that can shake a person’s confidence in the fundamental goodness of people. It turns out that some of us are hard-wired for competition, at all costs, and the rest of us are mere collateral damage. Don’t watch this one if you don’t want to be outraged.
Heartbreaking insight into real human nature.
