I’m not so sure I agree, my wife’s from the Dominican Republic and doesn’t know the first thing about anything before 1990, and she’s able to follow the story completely fine. I don’t think I ever had to pause it and explain it, I just asked her if she gets everything about the bank and she does.

I want to clarify I’m not tying to insult your husband, but even with that I don’t think it detracts from the message at all

I’ll just add that I can see it both ways. Not knowing all about banking regulations, but knowing that during the Great Depression times were really tough was enough historical context for me to feel a great emotional impact from the movie. I do think it belongs near the top of a Christmas must-watch list.

My spouse is just about exactly average with an IQ around 100. He doesn't catch inference very well.
