He Who Has The Gold Rules Or Follow The Golden Rule?

Rating: 9/10 (23 December 2015)

"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act" George Orwell 1984.
There were three revolutionaries in this story that I grew to love.
Christian Bale deserves an academy award as the clueless and cue less autistic on wall street. He read numbers and predicted the future fall out in his own poetic way with loud drums..
"Poetry is the truth and people hate poetry" especially from an autistic.
It is not surprising that this revolutionary ended up being audited four times and investigated by the FBI. .
Also I loved Brad Pitt cast as the disenfranchised former wall street trader who left due to the corruption.
He wouldn't talk on certain phone lines saying that he would be recorded. His being a keeper and planter of seeds reminded me of the parable of the sower in the Book Of Matthew. He planted his seed on the good ground. As a result, he did not have a stony calloused heart as the other traders.
Steve Carrell was well cast as an investment fund manager a subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. I loved the flashbacks of his childhood studying the Torah. Looking for inconsistencies he found none. What stage of moral development was he in when betting against the American economy and winning? The audience is left hanging.
Well done!
