Inside Job

After watching Inside Job, I was a little disappointed. I picked this documentary because   I thought it would be a mystery and it would focus more on the criminal activity that took placeI feel like it was meant to be a big crime story but the way it was conveyed was poor. Although I thought the documentary as a whole was poor, the rhetoric was good. The main goal was to expose the truth about the economic crash in 2008. To explain this they used statistics and authorities as the main source of evidence. Interview's with top executives were shown to express their side of what happened since in the real world pretty much every one was against them. Other authorities included were financial insiders, politicians, journalists, and academics. I also think it was a successful piece of rhetoric because it looked at the economy on a global scale. It was filmed in the United States, Iceland, England, France, Singapore, and China. I thought this was cool because when something happens in the United States or vice versus, it affects other countries as well. The audience was for adults who went through all of the experiences of the crash of 2008. People who lost jobs, people who lost their homes would want to watch this movie to get an answer as to why they lost everything. As for me, I was not directly affected and maybe that is why I thought it was boring. To catch peoples attention they used a famous actor named Matt Damon to tell the story, but I do not think it helped. Overall, it failed to entertain but the rhetoric was there. I wouldn't recommend this any one my age because of the reasons I stated above. I thought maxed out was a better documentary for my generation.
