a conversation with Charles Ferguson, director: We wanted to make the film accessible and the ideas accessible. I did my best to keep jargon out of the film. And where it was necessary to explain something that was somewhat technical—for example, we felt it was important to explain credit default swaps and the securitization chain because they were so critical to what happened—we did our best to make those things accessible. Hence the graphics and using a mixture of different ways to explain things, so that if someone wasn’t attuned to narration but was attuned to graphics, or wasn’t attuned to graphics but would be more attuned to hearing somebody say it, we tried to explain things in an overlapping way, with a little bit of deliberate redundancy. all of which makes me want to see it immediately (bold, mine).
