“First of all donu0026#39;t be fooled by other reviews. This movie is neither a crap nor a masterpiece.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt has a lot of technical terms and jargon from the world of economics and despite the obvious effort to explain things (including breaking the 4th wall (i.e. talking direct to the audience while looking into the camera), and cameo appearances from movies stars like Margot Robbie and Selina Gomez) you will probably fail to understand in depth the mechanics of what is happening.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe world of banks, funds, bonds, financing and the stock market will remain a mystery for most of the viewers.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBig names of Hollywood star in the Big Short including Brad Pitt, Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale and others. They play real persons, who had an insight on the global economic crisis we probably still experiencing.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs a movie it has its own style. Something of a documentary, a comedy sometimes, but essentially a drama since the crisis cost 8 million people their job and their homes.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ePeople who are impressed easily might tell you this is a u0026quot;masterpieceu0026quot;. Believe me it isnu0026#39;t. But I recommend to see it. Even better at home where you can pause or rewind the movie to understand better. It is lengthy (130min) but you wonu0026#39;t get bored. It needs some patience though especially in the beginning and not to be disappointed when terms like CDO, payouts etc. are starting to emerge.”
