A Must See

Rating: 9/10 (31 January 2016)

I'm a retired Ph.D. economist, so I much know at least a little about what this movie was about.
Whoever (Charles Randolph and Adam McKay) wrote this script did a great job at de-economizing the already pretty much de-economized jargon of Michael Lewis, so that any moderately literate person could understand what happened.
Whoever (Adam McKay, a co-scriptwriter) directed this movie did a great job at presenting that script so that any moderately literate person could understand what happened.
The acting is this disjointed appearing, but actually quite well scene-to-scene movement, was almost as good as the directing and scriptwriting.
As an astute arithmetician, I know that 99% is greater than 1%.
What I don't know, as a political economist, is why the 99% keep allowing the 1% to use their power, read wealth, to maintain their dictatorial power over our government and electoral politics.
If this movie can't explain and convince the 99%, and it won't, nothing will including reading the original The Big Short or Why I Am A Democratic Socialist and Not A Tea-Party Republican Capitalist.
