Summary of Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room

In the documentary Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, director Alex Gibney tells the story of the fall of the energy company through a series of stories on the characters involved, using a lot of archival videos. Enron was basically a Ponzi scheme, and the scandal was similar to the Bernie Madoff saga of 2008, which was another conspiracy, based on exploiting deregulation and preying on investor greed. The timing is also interesting. Madoff’s scheme fell apart during the recession of 2008, while the Enron bankruptcy occurred right after the “dot-com” bust of 2000. As long as the economy was ...

What is going to happen if one puts in the same room tomboy metal guy, first princess of the school, honor and intellectual individual, school-champion athlete and the typical notorious subcultural kid ?

This movie is considered to be perhaps the most chaste and simultaneously trivial film about teenagers among their own kind. It is also needless to say that the script ...

This Darren Aronofsky classic has left many a critic dumbfounded, not just after watching the movie for the first time, but even after the second, third or even tenth views of this film.

Cross-Cultural Experiences in the movie “Outsourced”
The customs and cultures of India were developed by the country’s traditions that date back almost a few thousands of years. The significance most of these cultural behavior and traditions have in the people of India can be elusive to the average American. For instance, the picture of Kaali (the goddess of destruction), carrying the severed head of a man, hung on the wall of Todd’s (the protagonist) bedroom, is quite a disconcerting picture for the average American. But in India, it is a picture of relief. Similarly, the intermittent animal ( ...

South Africa in the 20th century had many words to describe it but none were flattering. Words like hate, suffering, anguish, separation, ignorance and apartheid. Apartheid is best described as government institutionalized racism and is Afrikaans for apartness. The South African government disfranchised black voters and non-white citizens. An American example that is similar is the Jim Crow laws in the south While there was wide spread racism in South Africa for several years before that, it was made into law in 1948. It took the resolve of Nelson Mandela to guide the country in a new direction.

The Coen Brothers have, one may say created an absolute masterpiece of a movie, which some may say is an amalgamation of the Wild West movies of old and a horror story. “The wide open plains, cowboys, Texas, guns and horses but has the syntax of a film noir even sometimes a horror movie.
