Review of Payday

I'm not sure if it was the intention of the director or not, but by allowing Scott Tucker and his family to talk extensively about the financial and emotional problems from their new financial woes and how it affected them it perfectly showed how totally in denial a person can be about how their own actions affects other people. All their hardships he goes on and on about are almost EXACTLY the same as the hardships HE CAUSED TO 1.5 million people with his predatory lending practices. His brother committed suicide and that's tragic, but I guarantee the crushing stress he caused millions of people led to plenty of self harm and suicides. Crushing debt is a big contributing factor in suicide. It's tragic all around but that's not surprising ... savage selfishness usually leads to tragedy all around. The fact that Scott Tucker goes on and on about his problems without any self awareness of the same misery he caused to millions of Americans is a perfect case study of the denial a person can have about their own behaviour when they focus on what others are "unjustly" doing to them despite the same massive financial misery he was spewing out on others for years. It's kinda depressing but very interesting at the same time. Anyways, I thought it was definitely worth watching.
