Best movie of this year hands down!

Just perfect...

How sad is this?

Admirable film.

I'm a bit late to the party I know and have only just finished watching the 'Inside Job' 8 years on! Wowzers though. Utterly mind blowing content, research and analysis and narrated to perfection by Matt Damon. I'm no business brain but the way the financial crisis was clearly explained and illustrated made it brilliant to follow and even more shocking to absorb. Charles Ferguson and the whole team deserved their Academy Award, as it's just a mesmerising, expertly told documentary. Superb!

So much paperwork and control but how can the govt keep tabs on it all Personally who ever let it get this far or was to loose with the lending is to blame but I wonder if it has had a good effect on consumer home buying afterwards. The scary thing is so many people are affected by it and so few banks lending so much money that ripples throughout the world. The very sad part is no one will do something for nothing and money is evil Hate to say it but the thing that drives the whole system is want of more money the nature of the human race. I wonder if computers can one day aid in financing by doing all the checks and balances and inspections and statistics and make a perfect choice where lenders are almost eliminated and the govt does the lending. Because most of he backing comes from govt anyways. And th CEOs paying themselves isn't helping make better choices obviously not. So if a system can be made where people are much eliminated in the pprocess then maybe it can be more stable. But I wonder if that is even possible. The banks are going to hate me for saying this oh well

Charles Ferguson's Oscar-winning look at what caused the global financial meltdown is enough to chill anyone's bones. Narrated by Matt Damon, "Inside Job" shows how deregulation, the rise of derivatives, and the housing bubble coalesced to bring down the world economy. Sure enough, banks thought to be too big to fail did just that (too big to fail means too big to exist). Meanwhile, the executives spent millions on cocaine, prostitutes, and multiple houses. Worse still, large portions of academia endorsed the money-above-all mindset.Basically, the departments that were supposed to regulate Wall Street allowed it to run amok. As expected, Robert Rubin, Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke, and anyone else behind the crash declined to get interviewed for the documentary. I guess that if the documentary was missing anything, it could have noted that the unfunded wars in Afghanistan and Iraq caused the US national debt to skyrocket. Otherwise it's very well done. When Ferguson accepted his Oscar, he noted that not a single person behind the economic meltdown had faced prosecution. Five years later it's the same.Everyone should see this documentary.

Brilliant documentary on the causes of the Global Financial Crisis of 2008. Damning in its examination of the greed, conflicts of interest, apathy, mismanagement, corruption and sheer criminal activity that drove the event, and which, unfortunately, still pervades the financial services industry today. Well researched, with well-crafted interviews and illuminating background material. Hardly a stone is left unturned. Definitely worth watching. In decades to come, this movie will be the chronicle of the early-2000s.
