The Big Short is a dramatized biopic based off the 2008 Global Financial crisis. As a finance enthusiast I know the real story behind the crisis, hence I really liked the film. There are many other films based off the 2008 real estate crisis, but none of them are as stylized as this one, with A-list actors like Brad Pitt, Christian Bale, Steve Carell & Ryan Gosling. With big Cameos from celebrities, taking a break from the flow of the movie and actually explaining the heavy financial concepts in a easy to understand analogies, if you play close attention that is, you might actually learn some financial concepts. But even for the layman, just the fun performances from the aforementioned A-listers is enough to warrant a watch.
