I have compiled seven American TV dramas and movies about finance that are worth recommending, all of which profoundly show the real "life" in the financial field:
The following are the introductions of these recommended financial dramas:
Movies:
1, "big bear"
It tells the story of four eccentric men who seized the opportunity to profit from the global economic recession during the American financial crisis, and they also tried to stop the global economic recession.
Comment: This film can also be regarded as a financial textbook, which can help you understand how the 2008 American financial crisis happened. Explain boring and professional financial topics in various fancy ways to help you understand how the 2008 financial crisis came about.
2. An ultimatum to the sea
The film mainly tells the story of how Wall Street bankers and important staff responded to the 2008 American financial crisis within 24 hours.
Comment: This is a very real movie. It shows the ruthlessness, cruelty and fraud of this industry in a very calm way. A movie is all about the ukiyo-e painting of the capital market.
3. "pour gan Kun"
The film tells the story of Valentine's black gangsters begging in the street and Winsop trading futures.
Comment: This film was rated as the first financial film to be seen by Wharton Business School. Black hippies lead everyone in the movie to the roller coaster of life. The ups and downs may be the fate of financial comprador in the capital market. Perhaps the reality is not so exaggerated, but at least from one side, we can see the role of money and material in today's society.
4. Wall Street
The film tells the story of greedy stock market tycoon Gordon who manipulated the stock market by any means and was finally brought to justice.
Comments: "Wall Street" is one of the most classic commercial war movies, with tense rhythm and strong entertainment, and there is no lack of irony and reflection on the social reality of money first.
Wall Street almost depicts the panorama of Wall Street finance in 1980s, and reveals the complex relationship between capitalist money and human nature. If you haven't finished reading it, you can also go to see the follow-up story of Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps.
5. "Too big to fail"
The film tells the story of the global financial crisis that broke out in 2008. Taking Hank Paulson (william hurt), the US Treasury Secretary, as the main clue, this paper records the decisions and actions of the dignitaries who decided the fate of the world's largest economy in a few weeks.
Comment: What is described here is the intrigue between the government and several major institutions to save the market. If Bear is about how a shrewd fox creates chaos and catches its prey. "Too big to fail" is a way for farmers to protect their fattened pigs from being fooled by foxes. Although the two films are in the same historical period, they are both worth watching and learning from different angles.
6. Billion
The play tells the story of the struggle between a hunter and a prey who is struggling to be disobedient.
Comments: Behind the classic duel between two people is the entanglement of human nature and the lure of interests. If you want to have a general understanding of The Trader's Daily Life and need enough fun, then this drama is definitely worth watching.
7. cross-border M&A
The play is adapted from the best-selling novel of Italian trader Giddio Maria brera and inspired by the financial crisis that swept the world in 2008. The story revolves around the inside story of a financial thriller staged by a big American bank in London.
Comments: At that time, when I finished chasing this drama, I was still very touched, because the whole event flow of this drama was very compact, the plot developed at a faster pace and there were many suspense. The plot is short and powerful, full of tension. It shows the relationship between finance, finance and ordinary people, which is related to all aspects of society.
