The anger that, that anger is, you see American political life now and you kind of wonder why is everybody so angry?
They say they're angry at different things.
It starts there.
So that's a really good question.
And when I watched what Adam did with the movie, quick answer is, the movie is five years after the book.
The book comes out in 2010.
I had not fully digested what had happened.
I didn't know that no one was gonna go to jail.
So that's one thing.
But that's a cheap answer because I think the deeper truth is that Adam's just capable of moral outrage than I am.
He just has it in him.
And I just don't.
Like I have a hard time getting outraged.
Amused is the wrong word.
But I was just delightfully interested in the human folly.
I thought it was kind of funny that all the Wall Street firms were stupid.
And I thought – and I was so interested in it.
And I was focused on these characters who had done basically the smart thing.
