08.13.11 | DVR | HBO movie on the financial freefall of late 2008. It's cool to finally watch one of these "true story" movies and to have been alive when it was taking place. It seems like it's always World War II or the 20s or 30s or whatever, Viet Nam... I definitely remember the same pundits and headlines that the movie involves. I think it does an admirable job of trying to communicate how and why things happened and there certainly isn't any shortage of acting talent at work here... but I think almost the opposite is true. There's just too many people talking too fast for me to fully comprehend everything that's going on. I guess that documentary that they made might do a better job of conveying information. I thought everybody, William Hurt especially, did a good job trying... there was just too much. I still hope Curtis Hanson gets to be let out of movie jail now though. |
