Reply #21: So you saw in the dramatic film that the characters were

[Bluenorthwest]

astonishly arrogant, uncaring about the nation and motivated by personal profit alone, and yet you think the characters were shown in a good light? Interesting take. You know, I think you are missing the entire point, and looking for a didactic and direct sort of commentary that is death to a narrative piece. Hannibal Lecter, most vile of killers, sits and asks Clarice quiet questions, he does not rave and froth to display his evil. Should that film have focused on 'what makes a serial killer' with long exposition on theory? Should Hannibal have had a handlebar mustache which he twriled to indicate wicked intention? Do you actully think that in life, the political wrong doers sit around declaring their work is a scam, and that they are the ones who made it all fall down?
What do humans look like when they are doing vile things? They look like people who do not think of themselves as vile, but as righteous. Blatant arrogance simply is, it does not walk in and say 'I am the blantantly self interested Bankster villian' nor does the narrator explain those things as they might in a documentary.
I think you would enjoy a piece about the financial crisis in the agit prop style, as would I. This is not that. Nor should it be.
