Review

By izgzhen

Perfect film as I see. The actors are all awesome and characteristic. The rhythm is tight and deeply involving.

I really like the theme -- 2008 global economy crisis. This film explains many technical sides unfamiliar to most of us, including those deeply affected by this catastrophe. Above the technical details, the main four roles have different philosophical insights during this event:

Michael Burry -- Realistic, Objective, Knowing history

Ben Rickert & Pals -- Murphy's Law

Jared Vennett -- Distrust of the Big Corp

Mark Baum -- Belief in the justice, even in against of the money

In conclusion, 100% recommended.

**Overall, Adam McKay somehow found a way to make a movie about mortgage fraud profoundly entertaining while still informative.**

Is it even possible that a serious film this well written, acted, and shot could possibly be directed by the same guy that did Anchorman, Talladega Nights, and Step Brothers? I know! Mindblowing! But Adam McKay pulled it off with an incredible cast and brilliant storytelling that took advantage of multiple narratives to keep the movie moving quickly. The Big Short was keenly aware that some of its necessary exposition was pretty complex and boring, so it found clever and entertaining ways to give those cumbersome details without losing its audience. As a guy that generally needs explosions and car chases to keep me engaged, I could not believe how much I enjoyed this film. The Big Short is an eye-opening film that tells a complex story with a fun, fast pace that keeps the audience engaged and entertained.
