Big short: what I want to say

1. The story is very simple. Before the subprime mortgage crisis, a group of investors made a swap transaction that no one believed in, and they made money. Whoever earns this kind of "national distress" is uncomfortable. In fact, they are conflicted in their hearts. When the financial crisis came and the bank collapsed, no one was happy because of how many times they earned, but can you blame them? They have also run and appealed, only to be ignored because they are a minority.
2. The filming method is very interesting. I thought I would not understand the content related to economic and financial aspects. Later, I found out that the director simplifies complex problems through various obvious examples. Besides, we don’t do research, and we don’t need to understand So thorough, as long as you know how the story came about. High Commander's narration always reveals a cheap taste, which makes me think this story is a comedy...
3. The soundtrack and the pictures are amazing!
4. The ending, the whereabouts of everyone, and the attitude of the financial industry after the financial crisis is resolved, the director said it very straightforwardly and thoroughly, with helplessness and more indignation.
