Truth is like poetry, and most people hate poetry.

There have been a few runs at explaining why the financial meltdown occurred. No-one thought to frame an event like this with humour, taking down the bean-counting barriers and offering a crash-course in greed, power and money, (in other words, banking).
The stars were out, in terms of the cast and the cameo's, infuriating some and breaking up the technical jargon for others. A brief cut to Margot Robbie to explain technical details, was undeniably the lowest point, a sort of try-hard tactic, which left the audience feeling a little patronised. Combating this however, was Steve Carell, with quite a moving performance - grounding the dark humour, and reminding us how terrible the situation became when millions lost their jobs, homes and livelihoods.
Following various parties, from budding entrepreneurs, to high-level financial traders - people who foresaw the crash, and then bet against the US markets. Creating a hilarious, but disturbing look at one of the worst things to happen in recent history.
