I highly recommend this & think everyone should see it, but make sure you're alone after because you'll be in a bad mood for hours

"While the whole world was having a party a few outsiders and weirdos saw what no one else could." In the mid 2000's Michael Burry (Bale) could see there was a housing market collapse coming. He decided to purchase a short, betting that the collapse would be massive. When word of this gets around more and more investors do the same thing. All betting that the US economy would tank. The bad news is they were right. They scary news is that this is a true story. This is a very good movie that is a little confusing to understand, for me anyway, but they did a good job of explaining it for non-wall streeters to understand. Just about everyone remembers this crisis and what happened and the fallout. What I didn't realize is how out of hand the mortgage loans became and why the collapse was so catastrophic. The more the movie went on and the more was explained the angrier and angrier I became, and by the end of it I was glad I didn't have anything to throw because I would have needed a new TV. This is the type of movie that is important and will hopefully change things, but judging by the way the actual crisis was handled I doubt it. Overall, a movie that I highly recommend and think everyone should see, but make sure you're alone after because you will be in a bad mood for hours. The actions of the banks was worse than I thought. Disgusting really. I give this an A.
