..One day among the world-wide ruins of derelict factories and warehouses and office buildings, there stood only a single, shining, windowless structure with no entrance and no exit. Inside would be — will be — only a dense network of computers calculating profits. Outside will be tribes of savage vagrants with no comprehension of the nature or purpose of the shining, windowless structure. Perhaps they will worship it as a god. Perhaps they will try to destroy it…

@jumar1281 Its a bit of a red herring to simply blame poor people. They shouldn't shoulder most of the blame here. In the movie, its clear that even educated, professional people who review loans for a LIVING couldn't get a grip on these financial instruments.

one thing that pisses me off about the whole subprime thing is the sheer ignorance of poor people. i guess its because the way i was raised, and my parents always instilling in me "if something is too good to be true, don't fall for it" and "never buy things you can't afford". But this common sense goes right over the heads of the people who fell for this shit. I grew up poor, my dad drove a taxi his whole life, but even he knew the basic rules of life

damn this guy jonathan kim, in my opinion, is the BEST film critic out there bar none!

Funny we should see this so much differently now. But you are right JejuLee. We look now at the destruction of the Financial Institutions completely different, don't we. No one wants to see Americans die...but you know what, maybe we should find a way to foreclose on these assholes!

[JejuLee]

Watching things like this just remove absolutely all doubt in my mind that one day we will wake, similarly to the way we woke up on 9/11, to see images on the news of a smoking heap of rubble where there was once a building at 85 Broad (Goldman Sachs).

The levels of intentional, institutional corruption are so many and so deep, we stand very little chance of getting out of this. In an ideal world, the people responsible would be held to account.
