This movie has something to give and truly deserves an Oscar nomination

Rating: 8/10 (6 March 2016)

Al right...Al right...the Oscars are over and here I am in the middle of a movie marathon of the Oscar nominations. I am not from a finance background and to be fair I expected that I would have to ignore some financial "Wall Street" terms and if I am not able to understand what's going on, I would be then contact Google and spend some time with the Wall Street jargon. As a result, I would lose some interest in the movie and would carry on my marathon with the rest of the nominations. But "The Big Short" wanted to keep running in my marathon and not leave in the middle. It had the most innovative way to make us understand the financial terms. You have to see the movie for that!! Kudos to the director for making the movie more interesting for non-financial background people. If you are to blame for the financial jargon blame the Wall Street guys for inception of some terms for their daily life anecdotes. Coming to the story, it is good drama storyline. The performances by Christian Bale and Steve Carell make it a great drama.We see Steve Carell in a non-comical role after Foxcatcher. He is a great actor. Coming to Christian Bale, that man does it all. Such is his portrayal of an introvert that someone like me would definitely relate to.
To summarize, you would "The Big Short" should be in your watch list. Great drama amplified through amazing performances.
