GameStop: Les geeks défient Wall Street

I honestly do not think they did any other research than the facts that were provided to them by their corporate overlords.

Mostly talking points from MSM.

The conclusion that retail investors, those of us with the least amount of money, power, and corruption conspired to crash the economy only leads to a bigger question....

Why is is so detrimental to our society that people invest in a stock, GME, in this instance, and hold on to it for appreciation?

Absolutely dumbfounding that the principles of stock ownership do not apply, and are sinisterized.

UNLESS.....there may actually be more going on behind the curtains. You have to wonder...why this group of individual investors poses such a threat to society...the truth with set you free.

Oh yeah...Cramer is a tool. Who the hell can take this joke of a commentator seriously. If you question his motives, check out the video of him talking about how to manipulate stock prices and public sentiment.

He should be in jail not on cable "news".

This movie is clearly just trying to capitalize on the current movement for financial freedome in the GME saga. The facts in this movie are soo FAR OFF its just pathetic. While it may hit the mark on a few things (What Short Selling Is, what a Market Maker is, etc) it misses the root issue by a LONG SHOT.

The director and staff have cut up interviews to grab pieces out of context to spin a narrative that puts the movement in the wrong light.

TBH, even if you just are bored and looking for something to watch, just choose something else that would actually be funny/informative/creative instead of this!

Listen, I know Netflix Documentaries are usually said to not be too good and/or biased. But to be fair I'm not here to get, like, all the details and information from only this source HOWEVER what I'm here fore is a basic understanding and rundown of things so I can see if it is worth my time to do my own research.

I didn't really watch the news around the time all of this went down so "GameStop" was only "that one American company that kinda crashed the Wallstreet or something" to me. This little documentary series was amazing to give me a quick overview of what happened, so that I now have a (admittedly probably very rough) picture of the whole thing.

It might have felt very subjective but I still appreciated the opportunity to save me a tremendous amout of time for research. Admittedly, this was the most comfortable option.

I would equate "Eat the Rich: The GameStop Saga" to a documentary made about Casey/Kaylee Anthony that omitted the evidence found in the trunk of Casey's car, did not mention Casey's behavior following the disappearance of her daughter, and was written by Casey Anthony herself. For anyone remotely familiar with this infamous case, you get the picture? Such a misleading documentary with essentially all of the evidence omitted would of course skew the story itself, but having the storyline dictated by Casey herself? You can be sure the information provided will be biased. Would you trust the information provided in a documentary about a murder written by the prime suspect? No?

This is what "Eat the Rich: The GameStop Saga" is. A documentary outlining events with key details removed, created and bolstered by individuals with not only an extreme bias, but also intentional ignorance of the totality of the facts. If you're looking for tangible fact, this documentary is not a source you should look to.

I always gather information from a variety of sources whenever I decide to read up on an event/topic. This ensures that I do not succumb to bias and am able to form my own independent opinion. If you would like to get more of the facts and form an opinion for yourself, I would recommend giving "The Diamond Handbook" a read. Just google "The Diamond Handbook Reddit" and you will find it.

I have no horse in this race but I was active on the wsb and superstonk subreddits to know they didn't present the whole thing. First off I just hate when documentaries and movies like the big short assume that people would lose interest if they explained things like shorting, margin calls or any other things that are central to the story. I don't want a chef or Margot Robbie or some distraction to be fed the critical information that I need for understanding the documentary. Secondly the interviews in this 'documentary' in particular makes Liam Neeson's action scenes look like a one take cinematic masterpiece. They are so chopped up they are the equivalent of a ransom note. Like let the guy speak for a minute would you? Third even though I can't definitively say this documentary is biased to the one side, it sure seemed like they omitted or brushed past lots of relevant details especially surrounding Robinhood and the big banks. I don't know if they interviewed some people to represent the day traders and redditors and they chose the guy who would be a clear opposite in contrast to the Wall Street guys or what but I cringed watching that interview and thought this guy must be hired or the video highly edited.

I don't live in the US and have never participated in anything resembling a stock market and I could clearly see this needed a lot of input before airing. Don't watch this to know about the GameStop saga. The best thing about this documentary is that if you suffer from insomnia this really helps you get some good nap right infront of your tv. It also creates a conducive environment to just leave it on and have sex with your partner. In some ways this documentary is one step backward for documentary film making but one giant leap in therapy.
