The choice of film depends on the current news agenda. Since circumstances have developed in this way, and the whole world is slowly but surely plunging into another economic crisis, you will definitely be interested in watching films on the relevant topic.
“Up in the Air“
The film will show the story of an employee of the consulting company “Counseling in the field of change of occupation.” Employers resort to his services when they need to fire someone. The task of the agent is to mitigate the situation and prevent the person who lost his job from coming to the decision to sue the former employer.
The hero of George Clooney sincerely likes his work, even constant flights across the country make him happy, because he no longer remembers how it is to live in one place. But since the economic crisis does not spare anyone, his employer decided to cut costs. You no longer need to fly all over the country to fulfill your duties. But consultant was not ready for such a turn of events.
“In the company of men”
The unexpected loss of a job is an ordeal and no one is immune from such a turn of events. Even high-ranking employees can be out of work, and many years of experience is also not a guarantee of creating a job. What will a person do when he is unemployed? Will he sell his house and move in with his parents? Will he make it look like he’s still working? Everyone experiences a complete change of life orientations in their own way.
“Default”
This is the first movie about the financial crisis based on real events. The action takes place in Korea in 1997. The financial crisis is shown in three stories, viewers will see the events taking place from the point of view of a factory owner, a former banker and a central bank financial analyst. This approach to plot construction made it possible to show in detail what happened to business during a difficult period and how society survived such a shock.
Screen time was also given to the political decisions that were made before and after the crisis. Obviously, no one was ready for such a fatal development of events.
Capitalism: A Love Story
The film-opinion is shot from the first person, its creator and part-time main character, Michael Moore, a well-known documentary filmmaker in the United States, talks about the financial crisis of 2007-2009 and expresses his own opinion about its causes. According to Moore, the crisis happened due to the fact that the citizens of the country, in fact, are constantly being robbed by banks, large corporations and politicians.
“Inside job”
This documentary presents an opinion on the causes of the crisis from those who had the opportunity to provide it or, on the contrary, accelerate it. Director Charles Ferguson created a picture from interviews with politicians and financiers on the topic of the crisis and its causes. According to these individuals, the main cause of the financial collapse is the excessive liberalization of financial markets. But, perhaps, the main intrigue of the film lies in the fact that not all people who have the opportunity at that moment to influence the development of the situation agreed to answer questions.
“Overdose: The Next Financial Crisis”
Since viewers are not only interested in the crisis that has already occurred, experts could not pay attention to the fact that this is not the last economic downturn in history and, it is likely that events will develop even more rapidly in the future. The film is short but informative enough, consisting of interviews with financial experts who know exactly what events are the harbingers of economic disaster.
Films about crisis moments in the development of the economy always arouse interest, because such events can always be repeated and have already been repeated many times, at least over the past two centuries. So watching such films is not only interesting, but also very useful for general development.
