I'd give the movie, overall impact, a 7. I think we were fairly successful in telling a grand story in a concise "slice of time" way. The story left me thinking of ways it could have been improved interns of pacing, dialogue, and filming but overall I think it was pretty true to my original intent.
The main idea stems from the real life story of how wall street employed, as a tool, derivative equations to fleece the unsuspecting public. Themes of income inequality and class have always captured my attention from A Christmas Carol to Citizen Kane to They Live so it was only natural that I should persue similar themes.
I think the story was pretty cler but there are certainly things I would do differently. All the scenes were pretty clear. I don't think I have any issue recalling any scenes.
The story feels complete to me. Scenes 1: 5 scene 2:7 scene 3:6
The settings were pretty weak and if I had it to do over I wouldn't be a slave to period. I originally planned for part of it to be a period piece set in the mid 80's and that caused me to make poor choices for setting. I realize now that unless I have the resources to do a period piece then I don't need to sacrifice the integrity of the set and scene.
