Jack D @henlo3101 Mar 20 This movie was simply a masterpiece with a cast that could kill Hollywood. It was heavily technical and did require a small, basic knowledge of stock market terminology, (though it was explained well with examples in the film). Fourth wall breaks by characters helped lead to a feeling of being 'in-the-know' all throughout ending up being a genius move as feeling disconnected and unknowing probably would've led to a large loss in audiences. The idea of the movie and acting skills by Steve Carell, Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling and Brad Pitt, once again, made this a masterpiece and entirely worth the long watch time. Good intelligent, semi-fast paced movie highlighting the many holes in the world and American economies which have harrowing similarities to today's issues. It also promotes social empathy as their profits would come at the expense of millions. See more Thyaagu C @Thyaagu Mar 18 Must’ve been a feast for economics nerds, but it was good enough for me too. The way these guys simplified all those messy market details and financial terms made it easy to stay locked in.

If you aren’t a little bit experienced in the stock market and its terms youll be a little confused. Overall though: stellar acting, strong cast, brilliant cinematography. Like all good movies, it is bigger than itself and leaves the viewer with the uncomfortable reality: if it happened once it can happen again.

See more Par H @Parhwy Feb 25 The Big Short is glitzy, savvy, fast paced and hard-hitting documentary masquerading as a movie to assuage your fear that the true horror behind the scary clown mask, and that horror is: this will not only happen again, it IS happening again. Casting is schmick. Carrell and Pitt are excellent for being unexpected opposites to their stereotypical characters: they look different, they act different. On this subject, and to acknowledge a sharp embarrassment: I only realised while researching for this review that Gosling is Vennett. I have watched this film seven times and never could place the actor. Obviously, I never fussed enough to investigate it. That’s unreal. Apparently, Michael Burry is shorting AI. Rewatch: Yes. Should you watch it? Definitely. See more Read all reviews
