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.

    This is reminiscent of China's malicious shorting. No one will maliciously short a country's stock market or even the economy. They just foresee that you will go short. .

    The group play tests the director, but it is obvious that the film is not capable enough. The messy clues + the casting that doesn't match the original setting + the retro but unsuitable soundtrack, all of this did not restore the complex psychological struggles and subtle story lines in the original book. Reluctantly, mediocre.
