Review of The Big Short (2015) by Ginak — 02 Jan 2016

I thoroughly enjoyed this film, but I admit you have to pay attention. I lived through the crisis, so I guess I know more than people who didn’t have a lot of skin in the investment game at the time, but I still think the scriptwriter did an excellent job of explaining without teaching.

The acting was uniformly excellent, and the script was terrific. It was both very funny and very scary because you realize that you can’t do anything about it and something similar could easily happen again tomorrow, but I still think it is an excellent way to explain and teach without being a bore.

Lots of fun, even while it shows how we lost all those homes and all that money.
