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.

    1. Pseudo documentary with high-speed editing, hand-held photography, shaking and jumping out of focus together, the group portraits of the heroes before and after the subprime mortgage crisis. 2. Celebrities came to explain financial terminology, and the effect was outstanding. 3. The actor breaks the fourth wall and laughs at himself, with constant cold humor. 4. Steve Carrell Biebel played brilliantly and was not nominated. 5. The truth is like poetry, but most people hate poetry. 6. When I am upset, I am happy. (8.5/10)

    I also like to play with investment. The most enjoyable part of investment is that you can prove that the whole world is wrong, but you are right.
