Watched Queen of Versailles, a documentary covering the David Siegel family's fall from prosperity. The documentary was originally planned to show the building of America's largest single-roof family dwelling by the owner of the world's largest timeshare company.
Then the 2008 financial crisis hits, and it is revealed that the Siegel family is living as far outside their means as the rest of America. There is some blame-casting; some areas Siegels fail to take responsibility for their own decisions, and others are legitimate complaints about the systemic abuse by banks.
I keenly felt the uneven hand of fate, where Siegel is just some chump who had one good idea, rode it out into a sizable fortune, and invests his time in making money rather than paying attention to his family -- though it's arguable that his 1950's Dad Syndrome /is/ his way of showing love to his family. Meanwhile, due to his lack of introspection and self-evaluation, he appears to commit on his family many of the same errors his father did.
The movie is named after the "Queen" however, his wife, and I was utterly surprised at how much sympathy I would end up feeling for her. She seems like a legitimately caring and loving person, with a lot of problems, but whose reliance on money is less of a problem than her need for external validation.
It was a surprising and intimate picture of a well-off family experiencing a crisis. There are many moments of universal wisdom espoused, with many of them offered up nearly unconsciously, and crafted into the larger narrative in a very engaging manner.
