The two films are about the same thing, but from different perspectives. "The big short" starts from the perspective of the bears. Several young people who discovered the source of the crisis took advantage of the flaws and made a fortune in the capital market. Some people say that this is a disaster for the country, but capital is ruthless, and there will never be warmth in the financial world.
"Too big too fail" is from the perspective of regulators, and the protagonist is how Paulson (the US Treasury Secretary) did everything possible to protect the big investment banks in the United States after the crisis, and prevent the systemic collapse caused by it. . The government took action and injected capital into the big investment banks. The crisis did not spread on a wider scale, and the entire system was preserved. These big investment banks also recovered after a few years, and no one paid any price for this. After a period of "nothing new on Wall Street", the sun shines on this land again.
Finance is indeed the most shameful thing. It can magnify the dark side of human nature and increase it by geometric multiples. The multiplier effect brought by this has an immeasurable impact on human life.
Finance is also the most ingenious invention of human beings. The backdoor of financing, mergers and acquisitions~~ These terms are all entanglements of interests.
Digress from the topic~~
It's a chatty movie, but the scene is very detailed, and it perfectly reproduces the history of the United States in 2007. The scene of Lehman Brother's fall is full of blood, and the CEO's ten-minute performance is also very real.
In general, a relatively good-looking movie, considered a financial science popularization, has a different feeling from a book.
