The Big Short was a very informative movie. There were definitely parts of it that I found funny, like the (apparently famous) naked lady in the bathtub at the beginning who explained the sub-prime mortgages. One thing I really liked about the movie was how it used famous cooks and actors (like Selena Gomez) to explain seemingly difficult concepts in simpler terms. I also liked how the ending showed that history essentially repeats itself, and that people will always blame immigrants, poor people, and even teachers for problems caused by the banks. The movie showed how corrupt the economy was due to the dishonesty of the rating agencies.
I think the one downside to the movie was the lack of women with prominent roles. I mean, some examples of women I saw in the movie were the strippers, the naked lady in the bathtub explaining sub-prime mortgages, and Selena Gomez explaining synthetic CDOs. I don’t know much about the depression in 2008, but weren’t there any women involved who also realized that the economy was going to crash? I wish there had been more women in the movie who had big roles, other than the strippers.
Below is a picture of the screen outside the movie and my ticket stub.
