The short shorts.

Clips of a kaleidoscope spree, rock soundtrack, "unique" discerning doctor Dr. Fund manager. The main characters are already middle and high-level people who have turned the clouds and rains with one hand. The financial migrant workers who are really bitter will only be like the crowd who filed out in the last bankrupt investment bank, and they will not have the emotions of jumping up and down and roller coaster in their daily work.

The two sides of a coin are very real, the closer to the money there is darkness of all types.

The look and feel is better than "Too Big To Fail", probably because the investor's perspective is naturally more approachable than the regulator's perspective.

Directors and writers use a lot of grounded explanations to explain how the basic spinoff works. Guest roles are also star-studded.

The remarks of the retired banker played by Pitt when the two small characters danced for their huge profits are the only words in the whole film that shine with human care before the banker reflects on the final system collapse. "If the unemployment rate rises by one point, 40,000 people will lose everything."

What I have experienced deeply in the past six months and a year is that only when you really stand in front of the market can you feel it better. This is a completely different feeling from paper to paper.

It turns out that 15 years ago, securitization and CDO were not so popular, and the development of financial products was really fast... American films still have a heavy stereotype of Chinese people, such as quanter Yang and CDO managers, all of whom have Asian faces. S&P, as a rating agency, was also stabbed in the dark, and Moody's next door laughed without saying a word.

Maybe one day, I will get tired of the bustling and enjoy the life of the idyllic ranch and escape from the high pressure, and only keep small investments. But now, Welcome to the real world my dearest.

    This kind of movie is most afraid of the moral accusation that "bankers are all bastards and the people are the most pitiful being exploited." "Big Short" is a good way to show the behavior of everyone involved in it in a panoramic way of the end of the world. Laughing, scolding, gag, unruly editing and fierce. Don't think about saving the world, this kind of effort is meaningless in front of the wave #真心牛逼#

    It just so happened recently that it was raining in time. This year's focus and this are all adaptations of real events, serious themes, and big casts, all of which are super eye-catching. The former is like perusing a piece of documentary literature with a calm pace, while the latter is like a quick glance at the Wall Street Journal that is simple and easy to understand. I like low profile, irony, and sense of humor. When talking about testicles, just draw a testicle, celebrities rush in to explain the terms, and distancing says that it was not like this at the time or it was really like that at the time, etc.

The Big Short quotes

  • Vinnie Daniel: But wait, you *are* the bank, I mean, you work for the bank. I bet your margins are pretty nice and fat.

    Jared Vennett: Let's not talk about my margins by the way. Being nice and fat... That's a nice shirt, do they make it for men?

  • Charlie Geller: Our investment-strategy was simple. People hate to think about bad things happening so they always underestimate their likelihood.
