If you liked the cock on cuck street
then heres what i have for you

-This movie does the thing where a character will pull the audience from the story to explain jargon while also acknowledging the audience still wont understand
-No drugs
-theres a stripper scene but other than that nothing to anger your local feminist
-dark haired human bean isnt on camera as often as youd think


It was an alright movie

As a movie, it sucked ass. Boring as fuck.

As a mouth piece for the economy, this is true. It seemed really hell bent on proving that capitalism is evil even if it had to distort the facts.

It was an ensemble cast. The Goose wasn't supposed to be THE main character.

Literally no one is saying that it's inaccurate.

Margin Call was pretty mediocre in my opinion. Not bad as a movie, but awfully inaccurate and oversimplified. (Lund tricks other banks into buying his toxic MBS, really?)
Too Big To Fail was pretty good, in my opinion.

About the Big Short, though, is it in any way accurate, or just a fun movie?

My critiques
-breaking the 4th wall lost its novelty very quickly
-celebrity explanations were pandering and condescending (finance major)
-not enough Ryan Gosling
>IM JACKED TO THE TITS
-the optimal legacy of the financial crisis as proposed by Ryan gosling was a sad propaganda piece against banks. I understand people want a finger to point, but point it at the government and governmental interference. For godsake's Freddie Mac was only mentioned once in the goddam movie, at least point out WHY banks were willing to undergo subprime mortgages: guaranteed debt

Otherwise:
-funny movie
-likeable characters
-I liked all the Goldman shittalking, fuck that morally/ethically bankrupt shithole
