'Banking and Finance' in the film
We
can find tons of usefull information in this film. The movie as a whole teaches
the origin of the financial crisis and how individual interests and the
arrogance of many financial actors, bank directors and insurance companies send

Personal comentary
I have found this film
quite interesting, because it analyzes the financial crisis not just at science
level, but it also studies the leader`s feelings and how they work in their own
fall.
