So, emotionally I understand what they were talking about in this movie. And I'm pretty sure I understand most of it intellectually. I'm not totally sure I grasp the details, but whatever. I didn't love this movie, but I think it's very smart. I think I like Chandor more when he's not writing dialogue.

This movie was just OK to me, probably because there was a couple of mush better movies that proceeded this one that were about the real Lehman Brothers situation. One is an HBO made movie called Too Big to Fail from 2011 with an Award winning cast.  And the other, better movie, was a step by step account of the weekend before the Monday the shit hit the fan, and it was a BBC TV Movie called "The Last Days of Lehman Brothers:, with James Cromwell and a slew of other great American actors. In fact I didn't even know it was a BBC production until just now when I was looking up the title. If you really want to see the face of Evil and what these guys did behind closed doors, then I suggest the "Last Days.." movie out of the 2. Also there is the Oscar winning documentary "Inside Job" narrated by Jason Bourne that explains what happened to the Layman like me.

Oh, and BTW, I broke down and bought a new badass keyboard with excellent response, which was part of the problem that kept me forming sentences that sent to the end of the post box(please don't ask me to explain why), so you guys can stop giving me crap about my hard-to-read message...

I want to thank Brian for this PSA, thank you Brian!

And I really liked this movie, the compression of time and the claustrophobic tense atmosphere of the night dissipating into an uneasy but welcome release in the rosy morning is right in my wheelhouse.
