Dumb Money

I lived this. Made money, and lost some too, on paper (Still holding 💎:raised_hands_tone2:) activist-trading meme stonks during the battles of early 2021 🚀. All the while scanning r/wallstreetbets and watching Roaring Kitty’s live streams every chance I got. This movie doesn’t even come close to the thrill of that small period of time when we scared the bejeezus out of Wall Street. 🚀🚀🚀🚀

It’s not a bad movie. Maybe if I watch this again after 10 years, when my lived experience is a distant memory, I might enjoy it. If I do, I’ll come back and update this comment, in 2033.

PS: Shailene Woodley is getting very attractive in her newer movies.

Unusual that a history breaking true story gets a movie made from it just 2 years after it's events, but nevertheless this was a very well made and entertaining film about the stock shortage of Gamestop. The fact that it started in the heat of the action and introducing all of the characters in a unique way that has to do with the root of the story is vey intriguing. I loved that the whole film was upbeat and went along to the rhythm of the situation. The way they tied in the flashbacks of the past of the characters was really cool. As well as the way they took random assorted characters to represent the way this thing affected all kinds of people and how as one they all had a big part of history.

Those were the days my friend. It has a documentary taste and it is good for the ones who are into the subject. If you are not aware about the story, you may not like it. I liked it. 7.5/10

Note: By the time of this comment made, the price of GME is 13,64USD.

I really liked it. It had humour throughout, great cast, and of course, the story is crazy. 7.5 would be the more appropriate rating, and it's certainly one I would recommend to family and friends

This one will be fun to revisit from time to time given I have lived the true story of this. I expected it to be turned to a movie, but I never expected it to happen so fast or with this level of a cast. It is one of the better biopics of the last couple of years!

Rating: 4/5 - 85% - Would Recommend

Yeah, I was there. I didn't make any money on it. In fact, I lost quite a bit. Right before GME went up. I didn't have a diamond hand. It still pisses me off.

But if I'm gonna review the movie, I gotta say I had fun. Well made in a way that doesn't bore you. I get that everything is a bit over the top and especially it didn't show how many people lost a lot of money. But mostly represented by the nurse from the hospital who was left with a debt at the end. But one thing has to give, those guys and gals showed that you can beat the rich f****** at their game, even if no one went to jail for it in the end.

Oh and btw this is a really rare movie where Seth Rogen isn't annoying.

Yeah pretty solid film. I think the story alone is worth watching the film. The acting was solid though the film as a whole felt underproformed. It was one of those basically one to one documentary movies so you can't get too frustrated by the lack of cinematography. 8/10

Find someone who looks at you the way Shailene Woodley looks at Paul Dano

I wasn't overly familiar w/ the story behind the GME stock, but I knew enough to know the players in the game. I was intimately familiar w/ Ken Griffin, however, as a researcher of right-wing extremism. I found it ironic, if not odd, that his singular role in the funding of fascism, white nationalism, and neo-Nazism in America went unchecked in this film. He has pumped tens of millions of dollars into what the media terms as "Far-Right" politicians. He's a hateful individual who preys upon vulnerable communities, and he and his family are a danger to everyone unlike him, white, Christian, heterosexual, and cisgender male. For his activities, he should be considered a domestic terrorist, but not enough people are aware of who, and how dangerous, he actually is.

It is very much like a biography but so entertaining and also inspiring. Paul Dano just owned the role of Keith Gill and did wonders. A good flick about the stock market and economic discrimination. You'll have a good time.
