The Big Short Movie Review | BagoGames
Tré Ventour from BagoGames writes: Based on the novel ‘The Big Short: Inside The Doomsday Machine’ by Michael Lewis, The Big Short is a true story told from three different perspectives about the start and fall of the U.S. mortgage housing crisis. Michael Burry (Christian Bale), is a weird, quirky ex-physician turned cyclops, corporate business man and Scion Capital hedge fund manager. He prefers sporting typical shorts and a no brand t-shirt, playing with a tennis ball barefoot instead of your standard business man’s smart suit. Burry believes that the American housing market is built on a bubble of incredibly bad loans that will eventually burst within the next few years. The freedom to do as he pleases within his own company allows him to bet against the housing markets with the banks, without consulting the board.
