Review of The Big Short (2015) by Serge L — 11 Apr 2017
Excellent story wanting to inform us about some events related to the mortgage crash. We follow first the guy that saw the mortgage bubble was due for a correction, then a couple of guys and we learn along the way how the banks were feeding the bubble to artificially keep it growing until it had to pop.
The snag with the system was that it was not motivated to correct itself because everyone was gaining as long as the bubble grew, except for the few people that saw it and wanted to cash in the crash to come, that came so late the government of the people had to reinflate the banks with solid value.
The size of the bubble was 20 times the value of the houses under mortgages! Only the englishes could keep such lies fly for so long. The film is a real thriller eventhough I had read quite a bit on the subject.
