Without a doubt, "Black Money" ranks up there with "Network", "Z" and other famous political thrillers as amongst the best ever made. As a Westerner, I admit I did have a bit of a hard time following the specifics of the film. It seemed like you'd almost need a primer in South Korean politics and their financial institution to get a firm grasp of the proceedings. In a nutshell, it can be summarized as this - Everybody Has A Price If The Price Is Right. Within that context, it's easy to see why so many people back oligarchs like, say, Trump even if they despise him - there's money to be made from stroking his ego. Yeah, it's selling one's soul, but this is a common occurrence around the world. Sad.
