It looks like Leo is calling out the man and throwing hell upon him. The Enron debacle could be the greatest corporate scandal of my lifetime and it is important for this story to be told. We get news about the upcoming picture from our friends at moviesonline:
Dicaprio is set to start in a new movie about Enron. I take issue with the movie since it sounds like it is not going to be true to the actual story where a reporter broke the story after not being able to make the plus columns equal the minus columns.
Warner Brothers has begun production on the film which Dicaprio will star as an employee who exposes the greed and fradulent accounting of the company.
Di Caprio bought my allegiance with his outstanding performance in Catch Me If You Can. I am usually always pleased to see him attached to a project, and this is no exception. In recent years The Leo has been getting more political as he chums around with Al Gore; this film seems to fit like a glove with where he is at in life.
White collar crime is crime that hurts more than any other, so far as I can see. When pensions are taken away from people that have sacrificed much of their lives for mundane jobs, the only fitting punishment is crucifixion for the masterminds behind the swindle. (Literal not metaphoric crucifixion.) I have no feelings of compassion for those that exploit people in any way, if the employees wanted to eat their bosses – I would buy BBQ sauce. I am glad this modern tragedy is getting the attention it deserves and hopefully public awareness will prevent similar instances in the future.
