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!

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

I think Americans have more of a boom versus bust attitude. They risk big to gain big and are confident in their ability to recover. This is not so easy for the steady, thoughtful, careful Swiss. The American style and influence has been very strong and somewhat conflicting within the Swiss banks these days. And now they are all cut cut cut which is also a tough pill to swollow for the Swiss. Just so you know, I am a double citizen, American born and raised, and I worked for a Swiss bank.
