Even though I don't get 90% of the financial gibberish it still is a good movie

Rating: 7/10 (25 April 2016)

Why this movie is also categorized as humor is a thing I don't get. Is people losing their money, their jobs, their entire savings funny maybe? That aside The Big Short is a biographic drama. Not the type of movie I would go for normally. Just because the theme is Wall Street and finances, and those are things I don't get or/and I'm not interested in. But I watched it, and even though I didn't understand more then 10% of the financial stuff in the movie it still remains a good movie. The cast is just excellent. For once you can see Steve Carell in another role then a funny one and it worked well. Christian Bale is also excellent in his role. Brad Pitt has a smaller role, and his disguise was so well done that I actually only realized it was him after one hour. The whole cast is very good actually. The story is based on true events and even though it is difficult to follow if you're not from that world, it is interesting to follow and to see how corrupt the whole system is. But that's a thing I already knew for years. Never I would take a loan for anything, never did and never will. My motto is if you can't afford to pay it cash then just don't buy it. And that should be the lesson for a lot of people in this world. Banks are the most corrupt systems in our society and by dealing with them you're contributing. If everybody would retrieve their savings from their bank the whole system would collapse again, because the banks actually don't have your money. Anyways, the movie is already entertaining for a guy like me, so I guess for people in the financial business this movie is a gem.
