Money Monster: `The economy slipped through our hands'
The story of a young man can not think of anything better to follow the advice of a television program about finances
The economy was only an invention of man to make us easier coexistence in the society. The era of barter was only tauhgt man that the chances of getting rich did not stay in `taje this I give you in return for the other´.
The economy is an abstraction, a monster like Frankenstein. The man, honestly, wanted to do good but in the end the creature got out of hand. Why? The avariace.
Money Monster tells the story of a poor young man who can not think of anything better to follow the advice of a television program about finances.
Lee Gates begins to recommend investments in high-risk technology stocks that soon crumble in the stock market, which hurt many speculators.
Among those affected is Kyle Budwell, who lost all his monet and his family for taking the recommendations of Gates.
In the next scene we can see some economic and financial explanations that gave the famous television presenter, Lee Gates, while filming one of his programs.
In addition, we can appreciate the moment in which the young protagonist, Kyle Budwell, decides to kidnap the presenter in live, with the rest of the television crew workers.
Personal commentary
In the background, Kyle may knows that Lee Gates is not at fault but he has the need to blame someone for their economic failure.
While wealth is generated nobody complains about the economy but when it fails all pounce on it as if it were absolute evil.
There is no greater mystery than the origin and whereabouts of the money. Intrigue or exceeding the enigma of who pulls the strings orchestra Wall Street and the global economy. Is there anything more disturbing capital sin of greed?, from which all others are possible on your behalf. It is logical, therefore, that the finances are an inexhaustible source of inspiration for the film, and that many of those frames end up narrating in key thriller with titles as explicit as Money Monster.
A thriller with two of the biggest stars of Hollywood in its cast, George Clooney and Julia Roberts, and plot a closely related with the economic recession that we are living in recent years.
Money monster makes reference to the media power of television and the ups and downs of the economic system.
The director, Jodie Foster, has managed to combine the thriller frenetic with a portrait of a world in which appearances devour reality, people let manipulate and emerge the hidden interests of capitalism that have made the beast that devours everything.
