Peak writing imo

>>214347446 (OP)
it was a simple and effective scene, i don't know what your issue is with it

>>214347465
No I'm saying it unironically, I liked it too

>>214347446 (OP)
Don't let 4chinners know that Adam McKay is a leftist director

>>214347446 (OP)
All the analogies in this movie are like:
>Here is the housing market. It's like when a bunch of people get together to buy and sell housing. Here's a celebrity to explain it. "You know when you go to the store to buy food? Well this is just like that except you're buying houses. But the food just went bad!"

>>214347535
I honestly didn't really find any of the analogies helpful at all. It was more confusing. But maybe because I'm a brainlet.

That Selena Gomez thing was even more confusing, until I just googled it. Why not just explain what they are?

>>214347465
its a shitty psyop to distract from how disgustingly scummy the crash was. they couldn't be serious and admit the lengths of the fraud worldwide. they didn't do it in margin call either. you gotta watch a documentary to even get a basic explanation, and the average cattle is never doing that. their knowledge starts and ends with jenga tower / margot robbie. making it sound like some crazy hard to explain math nerd shit still has consequences to this day. most of those laws obama signed in to prevent this happening again, were removed by trump and biden (obama vp) right after. barely anyone noticed. wall st is right back to it, and they've gotten worse. theres allegedly CLOs and CDOs holding crypto debt. some CLOs are holding elons twitter debt (bag). its way fucking worse than people think. fuck this movie

>>214347670
Oh I forgot to mention. the book actually explains these things. they quickly bought the rights and dumbed it down to child levels. even the book misses some real grizzly shit. fun fact, guess which firm jeffrey esptein worked for? bear fucking stearns. he visited shortly before the crash

>>214347670
but the movie provides a jumping off point to get deeper into it. the celebrity cutaways are there specifically to point out that this stuff is fairly straightforward and made deliberately obtuse to confuse normies

>>214347446 (OP)
one of the stupidest movies i've watched. i felt so insulted as a viewer watching this garbage. all those fucking lecturings.

> If we're right, people lose homes. People lose jobs. People lose retirement savings, people lose pensions. You know what I hate about fucking banking? It reduces people to numbers. Here's a number - every 1% unemployment goes up, 40,000 people die, did you know that?

JFC. I felt my eyes roll over my head several times listening to this bullshit.

Also,

>dem poor immigrants

Kek.

>>214347741
no, an actual explanation is straight forward.
>>214347535
This anon summed it up perfectly. its dumbed down, and the average consoomer is never looking further. remember this came out in 2013 right after occupy wall st died down. it was to convince all the boomers everything was ok and it was a blip. google US debt and tell me how ok it all is.

>>214347774
*2015. I meant to say Greenlit in 2013
>In 2013, Paramount acquired the rights to the 2010 non-fiction book The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine by Michael Lewis, to develop it into a film

>>214347577
Because I'm retarded and still smarter than 90% of the retards I work with.
The most telling part of the movie was when Carell was on stage at that investor meeting
>the people are going to wind up paying for it
>because they always do
>[and the goyim always will]

>>214347741
>>214347577
>deliberately obtuse
I felt like they were just being that by just refusing to just explain what they are instead of using roundabout analogies.

>>214347774
>>214347835
i dunno man, i knew nothing about investing or banking before this movie and i came away from it knowing was CDOs and short positions were. i feel like it accomplished it's mission with me

What did he say that was wrong?

Don't worry, Obama is going to hold Wall Street accountable and bring about change!

Ryan Gosling is fucking ugly

>>214348576
They did a study on the relationship between people's names and how they can increase/decrease the perception of their attractiveness (i.e. they'd show the same picture to people and give the person a different name). The name "Ryan" increased people's perception of attractiveness the most in males.

>>214347446 (OP)
I dont get it.

>>214348576
yeah, his oddly shaped face does not look good here.

>>214347446 (OP)
What a pathetic jawline

>>214347774
to be fair I dont even think a huge chunk of people in the banking world get it either. the number of people that get a business degree and treat calc 1 like its the final boss in their studies is astounding. I mean I was watching a documentary on the crash. and they even talked about how one of the big executives at deutsche bank didnt get what a CDO was.

They gave him an unflattering haircut in this movie on purpose. Something about the real life counterparts in this movie looking like used car salesmen

I don't understand what your fucking issue is, because your issue boils down to "thinking about how other people interpreted the film".
And that's something only midwits do. Your hand wringing over the movie not explaining something the way you would have done, and speculating on what other people saw is completely pointless. It's something I only see "media literacy" cunts discuss.

Instead of talking about how the explanations weren't good enough other people o,just say YOU didn't understand the concepts.

>>214348846
it's pretty funny that they cast four extremely likeable white actors for the main roles in a movie about the financial crash

>>214348979
Shut the fuck up kike

>>214347762
Thats only the Brad Pitt Character, which is the worse character in the entire movie.
Everybody else is going 100% in on the shorting scheme, trying to make money.

Also yes "they are gonna blame it on the poor immigrants" is completely fucking stupid.
Like at no point did they even examine how and WHY did the banks stopped doing basic risk checks and just started loaning everybody money...

What happened how they were threatened by the federal government with lawsuits and just say fuck it, lets make so money.

we arent all from the middle east like you

>>214348979
I thought the movie was fucking terrible then. The only positives were the very few things they got to explain to low iq normies. if its got to be this "self contained, only for me" experience, then the film is even worse than before. its a film for literal retards. the book isn't great, but its a staggering improvement over the slop movie
>BUT BUT BUT LE MINORTEEES WAAAAAA

yeah, okay, just dont early life the ceos and shareholders of all these companies

ive posted information in this thread about current clo/cdo holdings and USA laws revolving cdos being removed. I understand the concept perfectly. nice cope tho

>>214348979
Since you don't understand how about an analogy: this post is like when someone writes something on the internet and posts it to a forum. Here is epic based wallstreet bets regard Martin Skrelli to explain it: "Have you ever read something online and then wrote a response? Most people type it into a text box and press submit. That's kind of what happened here."

Posting 3 times because you couldn't contain your anger is woman behavior and I expect better of you. Next time rewatch a movie instead of complaining about the explanations not being good enough "for others".

With you here we don't have to imagine what a redditor would say.

>>214351241
At least a Redditor can understand the big short without having a melty about it

>>214351281
You should go back!

>>214351315
You should go back and rewatch the movie instead of shitposting
