Too Big To Fail

Since I am a finance major I really am interested in any sort of movie or documentary that has to do with the economic crisis.  Just recently I saw the movie Too Big Too Fail on HBO.  It's a movie about how our government handled the crisis as it was happening and the title really says it all.
The title is designed to tell you the hypocracy of the big banks in the United States.  These banks had vast amount of resources and were very wealthy.  In a very short amount of time some of these banks went bankrupt and it was the beginning of the economic disaster.
I think the name of this movie really gives an idea of how America perceives its economic system.  We really feel that we are infallible and nothing that bad will happen.  It did happen and these big banks did fail.  I think it is important to reexamine are outlook on our economic system and really start to care about how we are run.

  1. I like the use of the Red in the title, it is very powerful and it stands out on the the cool background. Also the the alignment of the font makes it look like it was stamped across the check.
