Is it responsible storytelling, to sugarcoat the bitter pill of the housing crisis that harmed a vast number of American families? This is ultimately a story about how unregulated, rotten-to-the-core capitalism allowed our banks, in cahoots with the government, to eat it’s own children. That’s just not funny, no how, no way.
Lost at sea on a rubber raft. No food. You try to eat a seagull. Doesn’t go down well (it comes right back up), so you eat small sharks raw. Constant vigilance is necessary; bigger sharks leap into the raft to get at you. Storms. Only rainwater to drink. Try that for 47 days. Then get captured by hostile forces and beaten black and blue, for a long, long, time.
