Few people in this world know the truth and willing to brake silence. Generally, people are afraid of making mistake, taking risk, disobeying peer's view.

Michael Burry, Mark Baum is among one of the few. The have the strength and willingness to commit what they truly believe rather than follow the majority.

That 24k asshole who sell bets on CDO, synthetic CDO, of course knows the hype of market.
However, our society don't want to see the worst, people underestimate the likelihood of worst things .
As if they can never happened.

Although, this film is not very entertaining, after I watch PBS documentary (another one describing 2009 Financial Crisis in a more cinematic way. The PBS really know the point to strike and enlarge the scars.), this film still works on the right things .

That's why I highly rated their effort to create this film. It's definitely has its educational purpose.

    It can be regarded as a financial subject with outstanding ideas and bones, but this editing is also going to heaven, and my head is dizzy.

    The editing is like a kaleidoscope, using a light comedy to tell three big short sales like a blade walking. Behind the absurd joke is the pain of 99% paying 1%. People with no financial background may be even more enthusiastic, otherwise it would be quite embarrassing to watch a group of actors break the dimensional wall and explain CDS and CDO... From long-term capital companies to subprime mortgage storms, has the greed of Wall Street gone?
