5. Serious spoiler alert. The below comment is about what happens in the movie.

I wouldn't think it would matter but some might want to come to this conclusion on their own. Don't read further if you don't want to know what happened.

And maybe others are sharper than me (actually likely) and figure this out ahead of time. During the movie, I found myself rooting for those people that were taking advantage of the stupidity of the banks for their own gain (and their investors). But in the end I realized as they did also that they really weren't any better than the banks. That may not make sense so let me try a bad analogy. Let's say you see a person robbing another person and you run over and take the money from the robber and run off with it. You are no better than the robber. I hope that makes sense.
