What are some other movies that portray a modern event in an ostensibly neutral or "fact-based" way that include a snarky narrator telling you what to believe?

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.

Even if what they did in those movies was 100% accurate I fail to see how it is wrong for them to do that or that they shouldn't have done that.

imagine being so indoctrinated as to be an apologist for a class whose interests run absolutely contrary to your own

there is nothing neutral in those films.

you have zero critical thinking skills

Their value judgements weren't neutral but the facts of the matter were portrayed as neutral accounts of what happened. Full of "let me explain how this complicated thing works" moments and moments saying that the people were "blind to reality".

The Big Short was clearly an attack by Adam Mckay,who is a bernie shill, on the big banks and capitalism. Still a well made movie

>>84524031
I'm not denying the movies are meant as attacks.

are you the type that think objective accounts of history, no less of events of this century, can actually exist, as if there aren't ideological or linguistic veils that impede "objectivity"

>>84524141
no

War Machine was literally written by a Rolling Stone writer, and the characters in the movie ask why the general was stupid enough to allow himself to be trailed by a Rolling Stone writer.

What is your point?

>>84523554
The Big Short was fairly accurate, and if you think about it the protagonists were all people who profited from the economy getting run off a cliff.
The Great Recession was all a ploy of the banks to steal money from taxpayers. When you think about it, all the money they "lost" never really existed in the first place. It was all numbers on balance sheets without any actual liquid currency to back it up.
The recession and bailout was so normal people would lose assets and the rich could buy those assets up at fire sale prices.
