Screenwriting: Swiss Banker vs. NY Bankers.. I'm locate...

Swiss Banker vs. NY Bankers..... screenwriting

Swiss Banker vs. NY Bankers.. I'm located in Switzerland, well known also for the banks, and working on a script about the greed and smugness of some Bankers. I'm also going to link it with the Wall Street mentality. So I'm wondering, what's the view of Americans or NYers on that topic. Are they interested in watching some guys being just egomaniac, bullshitting all day long and playing with the money of others. Showed without pointing on them. Narrated just how they are, not why or if it is right or wrong. Not upholding morality. It's more like you're watching a villain but have some empathy. Here in europe this would work for the audience. Also in the US? In your opinion, are they more or less just interested in WallStreet Bankers or also in european views? I really don't know the market and audience behavior in the US. Would be nice to have a discussion about it!

Well I can't speak for all Americans or even all New Yorkers... but I think you have to stake out a point of view to at least some degree. You don't have to go into it with an agenda or anything, but to just illustrate their and nothing more... doesn't really grab me.

If you "pointed on them" you might get a larger audience. Or, is that the point?
