Pros: This film deals with stocks and finances during the darkest days of the pandemic and actually truly captures what the pandemic was like, including most, save the super rich, don masks to prevent the spread of the disease. And that's not the only thing that the rich seemed exempt from, getting prosecuted from being charged with crimes despite ganging up on each other to shut down websites and prevent GameStop stock from being bought, which has got to be all sorts of illegal. This film details the resilience of those hard-working people, determined not to let Wall Street executives win.
Cons: Despite the screenplay explaining the financial terms well, investing money still confuses me and the whole concept of dumb money is still muddled. Still, the film is solid.
Recommend: Probably
Grade: B
Side Notes:
-The cast is brilliant and stacked with talent from top to bottom with Paul Dano leading the way, Pete Davidson as his brother, Shailene Woodley as his wife, Kate Burton and Clancy Brown as his parents and then there's America Ferrera as the hard-working nurse, Anthony Ramos as the actual Game Stop worker who hates his mask, and then Seth Rogen, Nick Offerman, Sebastian Stan and Vincent D'Onofrio as the rich executives.
-Vincent D'Onofrio's character has a pot-bellied pig that follows him around his estate.
-DoorDash driver's should not eat the food they are delivering.
-We don't know what happens Paul Dano's character or any of them really, except the executives, who lose money but not are not publicly charged with anything. However, they will still pay for their poor actions.
