who worked there BEFORE Ken Lay did, I can say that the book and the movie missed several other major crimes that were NOT mentioned. The Evil at Enron started in 1986 when Ken Lay arrived and it thrived in an atmosphere of deregulation, greed and political muscle. The film does capture the essence of hubris and Eichmann-like blindness to the corruption at the top; however, it misses the PROCESS of how this evil was allowed to continue to exist and how it developed from what was once one of the greatest corporation in America. Sadly it is a process that Machiavelli would be proud of. Ironically, the ONLY part of Enron that EVER REALLY made money, Northern Natural Gas, is NOW back in Omaha where it started seventy years ago.
I was glad to see Mike Muckleroy interviewed in the film. He told ME the Borget story personally and he cleaned it up a little for the film.
The directors SHOULD have interviewed Willis Strauss, Sam Segnar, Gordon Severa, Warren Buffett, Dan Dienstbier and Mick Seidl. |
