I cant get over the fact that they took something so complicated and above the average persons knowledge and turned it into what has became one of my favorite movies. Bravo.
Keep watching it and you’ll keep finding things that blow your mind. Took me like 3 rewatches to realize just how scummy the big banks and hedge funds were. Blows my mind that these banks were selling bonds to their customers that they knew would be worthless within months(they were already worthless the second they were made) and then took the money they made off those bonds and used it to fucking short them so they made EVEN MORE FUCKING MONEY when the market crashed. Disgusting. We are hopefully going to start to see these people actually go to jail now that retail and a lot of others are becoming aware of whats going on. After gamestop squeezes, they will have to consider making shorting illegal.
I mean they even explain why it’s so complicated and complex. It’s to keep the average person from knowing. If we actually knew what was really going on in laymen’s terms like this movie takes the time do, we would all be disgusted at all levels.
the purpose of this movie is to show that its not above anyone's head. Its explicitly stated in the movie that Wall St assigns names and titles to simple concepts as a way of making the average person think they can't understand it.
I am Chinese, My wife and I watched this over the weekend. We started facepalming when they panned to the Chinese person, and both of us burst out laughing when he said “his name is Yang”. My wife’s last name is Yang and she won some math related national awards in China, she also whines about the ones she didn't win. This is so painfully accurate for me.
Most Chinese I've worked with are a bit abrasive but I work so well with them, who cares. Gains from trade with these two races. Not many races can say that.
Ryan Gosling playing Jared Bennet was one of the best clips in the movie. His acting as a money manager turd was so perfect, I’d pay to watch a movie with him just being a dick and doing this role for 1.5 hours. For those of you who have no experience on Wall Street, you won’t understand how well Ryan nailed this role. These guys aren’t a dime a dozen in WS and yet Ryan nailed it.
The scene where he shouts, "I'm jacked... I'm jacked TO THE TITS!" Gosling improvised the "TO THE TITS!" part. And that's why he's a national treasure.
I am thinking quite the opposite. Ryan did a bad and unconvincing job, especially in this scene. He sounds like he is trying really hard to be this "big time banker convincing guy", throwing Jenga stones in the trash, yet his voice quivers all the time, like he is about to cry. Pathetic performance.
@@aliaytek3276 usually depends on the bank, position assign to, etc.. The quant in this scene works for Deutsche bank, and It’s a Wall Street bank so probably?

@@humann5682 finance people call quantitative analysts “quants” because it’s much faster to say that. I rarely hear anyone use “quantitative analyst” even for people outside of finance. So it’s not an inside term that only Deutsche knows.
@@jamesglimco4371 It's a movie, cretin. Obviously they knew, but it has to be more dramatic. It also wouldn't work for the comedy, if they knew. Chill out, mister I-am-so-smart-and-work-in-finance. We all know you are very knowledgeable and cool.
The ‘What’s a quant’ was for our benefit. So we would know what a quant was and also not feel stupid because the hotshots didn’t know what it was either.
but it is over since they completely changed the system. There no way for this scenario happening again. If it would happen it wouldnt be even remotely similar to this. You have 0 clue what you are talking about.
This was the version for the Australian market. Idk why they left it out. It could be that Anthony Bourdain (in the cut-away) is a relatively unknown figure in Australia.
You gotta love the cynical finance lingo. "The modern ones are private". Private = Unknown = shady = bad. Bascially anything that is private, you can be assured 100% it's bad.
What a game!!! Similar things happen to the current stock market in 2020 by using people’s retirement money ( e.g. IRA, 491k, or 403 (b), especially those retirement account loans. WTH.
Yes, but not housing (Well a little bit housing). Medical insurance is creating a big fucking debt bubble. Loans in general is turning into one big fucking bubble, since the Government is forcing small interest rates and not letting the market decide. Same with student college loans, and other shit.
When thebhouaing market failed i was 17 and my mother had and still owns a company. She taught us business so when this happened in real life itbwas wild. Watching this movie was a roller coaster. It was funny yes but living through that was not fun. Every single day was a idk with the company. The company never recivered the same, not many did. We were some what lucky my mom by that time split with my dad and her companyvwas being run iut if her new home and not our chimdhood one we for sure lost because of the bubble and the banks. My childhood home was sold to a for a quarter. 3 years prior it was appraised at half a mil and my folks spent 50k on it. Fucking wild.
Gosling is good in this film, but as for today’s popular male actors - a guy’s guy like Jason Momoa, or a girl’s guy like Chris Hemsworth, Gosling always seemed to be ever-so-slightly douchey by comparison. So this role didn’t seem to be a huge stretch for him. He still seems like a good guy… I mean he is married to one of the most gorgeous women on the planet, and he’s still good here. Just not quite as good as, say, Steve Carrell. Also, I like Jung. Jung seems like good people.
I was so amazed by the talk when I first saw the scene, but now that I know what they are talking about it is so cringe overload. It is like a bunch of math professors talking explaining the pythagorean theorem to each other. I mean bankers don't need to be told what shorting is, subprime mortgages, credit default swaps. But I guess they had to dumb them down for the idiot (me) who was watching. Knowledge and understanding robbed the movie its luster. So the lesson is don't study if you want to live in wonderland

@@manuelp7472 It's a movie for fucks sake. If "The Big Short" wasn't theatrical then no one would watch it.
I've spent my entire life since this movie came out waiting for the right opportunity to say, "That's a nice shirt, do they make it for men?"
I must be living the dream because I say it everyday; usually to myself in a mirror. But that still counts.
Lol i do so often with my friends for everything “nice car do they make it for man” or whatever
I'm working as a quant. I can say that this scene was my main motivation.
And I haven't won any national math competition.
Do you really make a lot of money or is that a hyperbole

If you work in high finance like these guys you better know what a quant is. They’re the geniuses who help you make the big bucks.
They obviously do but this abbreviation was BRO-ker slang and it maybe caught them off guard.

Hello I'm looking for Mr Want? First name Mike
1:55-2:21 I lost it. XD
It's not the housing market, it's the world economy
because of the CDOs, Jared explained that
Correct asian math guy vs wrong asian cdo manager
Model model minority
“ your too close “ 😂😂😂
Where's the C.D.O. bit? As Jared said, it's important!

Am glad Michal found a better job
I love this movie
Nice to see Kendall going out on his own.
LOOK AT HIS EYES

Micheal Scott is in the room and he's not the one making the racist jokes?

He just feeds him rice and numbers.
i dont get any og this
I hate fico score too, so weak
weird how his name wasnt Hung
Awesome clip, too bad 99.99% of the pop can't understand it's happening again. Hehe
