No, though they do show Robin Hood and Citadel conspiring to stop individuals buying at one point. As I say, I feel it needs some pre-existing knowledge and I had a fair bit, I remember it happening at the time, seeing posts on Reddit, but not being involved in any of the communities that participated. It feels like it put entertainment above truth (duh), which is why we also don't see the many people that lost out during the craziness.Do they cover the fact that the government changed the rules on the fly to stop them doing to the hedge funds what they do to individuals all the time?
The doco approach would work better at laying out the info. the movie is a crowd-pleaser, it certainly has a crack at the powers-that-be, but it's not its priority, making fun of hedge funds seems to be the primary target.
Side not, funny seeing Seth Rogen in an ensemble comedy cast, but as the sleazy hedge fund manager. He's aged out of the stoner role, replaced by Pete Davidson
