Brad Pitt's character is awesome. Even knowing that he was going to make hundreds of millions of dollars in one fell swoop, he never lost sight of the fact that this was going to negatively impact hundreds of millions of people.
they need to teach economics and financial literacy in highschool and college it should be required knowledge. the history of money and government, opec etc. most people have no idea only follow tv and movies and fairy tales
economics in college just went over basic things gdp, charts, blah blah. Nothing like how our money is made, or what money really is. how all this works in the real world. I pretty much taught myself because i was so confused about what happened in 08 during the crash.
The best part of the movie is how it captures "being right" in your analysis, but not yet (or at all) seeing the market respond to your opinion. Trends will last much longer in an irrational state than any logical person can rationalize. Brilliant book/movie. On par with Moneyball.
Think of all the people who lost jobs, therefore, lost health insurance, got sick therefore lost their homes. I have known quite a few, being just a working stiff. That's the main reason I believe in a single payer system like most of the industrial countries.
I typically watch this movie every other year. The acting is fantastic, and it highlights (with wit, humor, and drama ) an extremely dark time in recent US history.
It's all going to happen again bro, just under a slightly different set of circumstances, but with the same outcome. Probably in the next 5 years I'm thinking.
Cameron Dye school is about teaching you to learn. Most high schools have economics, accounting, and business options. They also usually offer day to day financial classes. It shouldn’t be up to formal education to teach basic financial literacy as is. If you don’t know it, go to the library, google it, don’t just complain that you weren’t taught it.
Pitt’s character in the film is older and grayer than the corresponding character in the book, but he absolutely knocks it out of the park. The entire cast is amazing. This movie has long been one of my favorites.
My favorite part is when the two mortgage signers say that they're not getting a yacht without a bunch of strippers, someone quips "I think Warren buffet said something similar" and the mortgage signers go "who is that?"
@@mattvanwyhe6158 no. just about everyone gets that line. it isn't underrated at all. unless you don't know who warren buffet is. but that would be crazy to not know who that is, which is the joke
The part where brad Pitt tells them to stop dancing makes me cry every time. It’s the irony of it all. You know they will get rich, but at what cost. So many people will lose jobs, it takes me back to those days and seeing family and friends with no work and hard times. And here we are again, about to repeat it in 2021.
The bubble didn't burst because of them but rather they correctly identified that the bubble was going to burst at some point in the near future and they bet against the housing market. The Big Short is not why the housing market crashed.
@@simbast9726 That's the point. People lost jobs not because of them shorting the mortgage bonds but because big banks gave out dogshit mortgages to fill those bonds.
I love Brad Pitt's character in this film, he's a veteran of the financial world and he trying to instill wisdom to these younger guys. That last scene where he hammers home the reality of what it will mean if they're right about the market tanking is one such moment, that people make deals like this and make bank on them all the time and mostly without a conscious, he wants to make sure they keep theirs and know it's not something to be all happy about. At the end of the film when they cash out they ask him why he agreed to help him do all this in the first place since he seems to have so much discontent about it all, he replies with "You guys wanted to get rich, now your rich" It shows he wants them to fully understand the cost of it all, that their success came at the sacrifice of so many other people's livelihoods and futures. The epilogue states one of them got out of the business all together while the other never really did anything this ambitious again, so in the end he succeeded in teaching them that to get ahead in this business means selling your soul forgoing your morality. This is further hammered home by Ryan Gosling's speech in the end, he's one such person who sold his soul and his morals and has accepted who he's become.
Mr. Pitt pretty much sums it up in the last scene of this clip. One of those scenes you take with you after you've just watched the film, one of those you remember.
Edwin Donoho here's what I never got about that scene though. If Brad Pitt's character was so morally repulsed by ripping off the American public, why did he participate in that scheme? How was he able to stand there and take the moral high ground, chewing out those other 2 guys? Can anyone explain that to me?
TH-camName The economy was going down anyway so he helped his friends getting rich by betting against it. He wasn't the reason it was collapsing or even part of the problem.
Max Heinem true, but it's still a moral gray area to help people get rich off a situation that would soon devastate families, put them out of their homes, and take away all their financial security.
Anybody else had no idea what's happening when they saw Steve's Carrel hand forming a zero but burst out laughing when he yelled "Zero, Zero, Zero"....Gosh Steve Carrell can make anybody laugh without even trying.
The irony of Michael Burry selling his positions in AIG, Countrywide, and Freddie Mac to cover the premiums. I'm thinking he must have sold those stocks at their all time highs.
That was probably part of his hedge against his bet by being long those financial companies, by selling his hedge he was basically putting it all on black and going all in on the bet against the mortgage industry.
Seriously, did that really happen? We made a boatload shorting Countrywide in 07, but I never thought Freddie Mac would do what it did... I'd be a millionaire.... instead I'm on TH-cam.
I honestly expected him to get more though. To bet against all the big banks and the economy, and possibly lose everything, I thought his fund would profit ten fold. But instead it only profited by 200%, kind of little for having to risk it all on a bet against everyone else.
@4:00, "Hey, Dougie! He's at Goldman". Lots of despicable people in this film but she, being a regulator and not giving half a sh*t, might be one of the worst.
Don't hate the player, hate the game. The Government's lack of effective regulation is what created this system, and continues to perpetuate it. We've gone from Banks being too big to fail to countries printing money and being too big to fail. All we've done is kicked the can down the road and it's bigger than before the GFC.
Agreed, but I'm quite not sure why. Just feels like an intuitive kind of thing, like, here's this soldier enjoying a little down time after fighting for our freedom and the ideals that are *supposed* to make our country great, and all the while the mortgage companies and bankers and hedge fund managers and speculators are screwing our country over in the name of short-term profits and big bonuses. And shortly afterward, the politicians to absolutely NOTHING to hold those people accountable, and in fact end up using taxpayer money to bail them out and perpetuate the system that screwed us over. Maybe the soldier scene just represents the sad irony of it all.
Yeah that's a good narrative arc. Freedom in our country is quantified by net worth - the spread of assets (and income) over debt. This soldier, based just on what little we see, is likely a Corporal or junior officer, something like that. He probably clears around 2k a month at most, likely less. He probably clears ~1200mo. And the golden rule in casinos is keep them playing, the longer they play the more they lose. Hes in there looking to win big to move above a very limited income, and instead just gives it away and digs a bigger hole.
Best flick of 2015. Gosling is so totally amazing. I did not even once think of The Office while watching this. I don't know why it did not win best film - Spotlight was good too but it dragged. The Big Short was riveting.
If you don't understand Economics or the terminology it's understandable that it's not the film for you but don't dislike it because you don't understand, try to learn, rewatch the film and then see with the necessary knowledge you now have, if the film is what you like.
This movie inspired me to learn about economics because it was so captivating and just had that wow factor. I loved the movie and I hated how I couldnt understand it but now I do.
The gamestop version of this is, funnily, kind of the opposite. It's not a bunch of guys shorting something that seems indestructible. It's a bunch of hedgefunds shorting something that a bunch of redditors made indestructible. The title would be "The Big Squeeze". A perfect title for a, sort-of sequel.
Except that once the big buyers of GME (which are pretty much all other hedge funds) cash out then the stock price tanks, those redditors lose all their money, and the hedge funds walk away with billions.
one of the best scenes from this movie is earlier when goslings character saying “That’s a nice shirt, do they make it for men?” - the timing is just incredible
8:27 This whole scene automatically makes me think of an Oceans 11 movie lol. The music, along with the sounds of the Casino and the plot to make big money is like a Danny Ocean scheme.
god, i've seen this movie... 6 times now i think? it's genuinely one of my favorite movies ever and i'm a bit sad it doesn't seem to be particularily popular
@@jonasbrm They didn't mention at all how all of this was facilitated by the government... banks don't just give out bad loans because they want to... they do it bc the government is forcing them too and guaranteeing the defaults... this movie is just for people to get mad at banks with little to no context.
Finally somebody points it out. We can't repo student loans and it's how much of our debt with housing cars and student loans I believe that's one-third of the u.s. debt. I keep lowering interest rates but we can't open up a credit card under 18%. Meanwhile the average income is flat. Wages flat. Inflation out of control
@American Nothing new about schemes for non-repayment of student loans; it was designed to funnel money to elites. Major success funneling money thanks to career students and the like; poor success actually educating.
@@iowapsychopath Potato, Patahto! About 20% don't get repaid. One method used is to become a career student; get in a graduate program, keep one's income low, receive food stamps, medicaid, continue to borrow. It can't be dismissed by bankruptcy and there are other measures 'designed' to prevent default or else it would be worse.
Ricardo Herrera actually private enterprise is the reason all of Things are unaffordable. The gov used to regulate those things and prevent the average guy from getting screwed. Now it’s the wild Wild West
It’s crazy how interesting the Stock Market can be. I heard Netflix is working on something about the recent GameStop stock surge; I’m interested to see how it turns out.
It really is crazy how good this movie is. Sure it helps to have Bale and Pitt and Carell but it also truly speaks to the skill of the writer, the director and the editor.
Everyone talks about Brad Pitt's "Stop dancing" scene, but the scene with the Regulator at the pool is also a reminder that people who should have avoided this situation not only didn't do it, they actually ended up partaking in and endorsing the situation.
They bet against a improperly valued “asset”, and they were right. The didn’t make the market collapse, that was bound to happen. They simply put there money where there mouth was and scored big time.
Steve Carell always looks one movie away from a nervous breakdown
Steven Wright looks that way all the time.

most stressful part of this entire movie was Charlie's barrel management and trigger discipline with a micro uzi LOL
I learned more about banking and the economy from this movie than I had in all 13 years of school before that combined.
Ever wonder why? Don’t think it’s not on purpose that they don’t teach this at schools.
probably because this movie actually shows how these principals are applied

"Would you say that it is a possibility or a probability that subprime losses stop at 5%?"
"GO TAKE A FUCKIN MIDOL"
8:27 This whole scene automatically makes me think of an Oceans 11 movie lol. The music, along with the sounds of the Casino and the plot to make big money is like a Danny Ocean scheme.
god, i've seen this movie... 6 times now i think? it's genuinely one of my favorite movies ever and i'm a bit sad it doesn't seem to be particularily popular
Sign of the times…. We are dumb
well... 5 years later.... just this one upload has 6M views. same for lots of other uploads of portions of this flick on TH-cam.
This movie was awesome such great acting and i dont even know anything about business
+Terminator Margot Robbie in a bath did a great job explaining the... what? Sorry, I lost my train of thought at Margot Robbie bathing.
Clearly neither do the people who made this movie.
@@nadrud please elaborate?
@@jonasbrm They didn't mention at all how all of this was facilitated by the government... banks don't just give out bad loans because they want to... they do it bc the government is forcing them too and guaranteeing the defaults... this movie is just for people to get mad at banks with little to no context.
@@nadrud Any further reading? i am genuinely very interested. They did leave a footnote in the ending of the movie though
This is the best "based on true story" movie I have ever seen.
The most underrated movie of all time
It was made for a dumb audience...
@@nadrud it was made to help people understand an incredibly complex topic. Just like Chernobyl did
It's crazy how many people don't know about this movie considering how stacked the cast is.
'...can you just keep it shut for a few days?' '....Zero. ZERO. There is Zero % Chance of losses stopping at 5%...'
That bald black guy was honestly one of the chillest dudes I've ever seen in cinema.
Just wait until the student loans start defaulting...
Finally somebody points it out. We can't repo student loans and it's how much of our debt with housing cars and student loans I believe that's one-third of the u.s. debt. I keep lowering interest rates but we can't open up a credit card under 18%. Meanwhile the average income is flat. Wages flat. Inflation out of control
Suz Clayton thank government
@American Nothing new about schemes for non-repayment of student loans; it was designed to funnel money to elites. Major success funneling money thanks to career students and the like; poor success actually educating.
You can’t default on a student loan.
@@iowapsychopath Potato, Patahto! About 20% don't get repaid. One method used is to become a career student; get in a graduate program, keep one's income low, receive food stamps, medicaid, continue to borrow. It can't be dismissed by bankruptcy and there are other measures 'designed' to prevent default or else it would be worse.
"Do me a favor, just don't run your mouth..."
Calls out impending doom at a conference of like 1000 people. lol
A love how gosling is 4th waling and the old guy behind him looks at him lol
Those last lines literally made me cry
I really recommend watching this and the 'Margin Call' which shows the darker side of the housing collapse.
This is one of the most important films I’ve ever seen. Criminally underrated.
Nebula floating her resume.
Cant wait to see the GameStop version of this
Or AMC.
YEAP! KEEP HODLING! MOASS COMING!
AKA , how Redditors got scammed by one of the hedge funds they hate so much.
GameStop making me rewatch this..
samebi never watched this movie but now I will
Crypto making me rewatch this..
The movie downplayed the government’s role in creating the environment that allowed this to happen.
The ending.
I think if they didn’t, the movie wouldn’t have happened.
Ricardo Herrera actually private enterprise is the reason all of Things are unaffordable. The gov used to regulate those things and prevent the average guy from getting screwed. Now it’s the wild Wild West
They mentioned the government like once in guaranteeing the loans
@@Coolsomeone234 "guaranteeing the loans" which was exactly what started the entire thing leading to the crisis.
6:00 when he says the bonds arent going down is the same thing that AMC and GME arent going up right now because of fraud :O
you are not alone. This is the way
Best line from the movie for me: 'If you can afford to make less, make less.' - Mark Baum.
Someone should tell the boomers that.
"those losses will be contained at 5%"
It’s crazy how interesting the Stock Market can be. I heard Netflix is working on something about the recent GameStop stock surge; I’m interested to see how it turns out.
Hopefully it shows what pieces of sheet they really are.
Hopefully they call it The Big Squeeze
@@aphaseelec netflix will rack in the money meanwhile making fun of the WSB.
Hope it's not done by vox
It’s a real shame people still can’t appreciate this movie for what it is
Loved how Brad Pitt got on them Dancing around and celebrating.
It really is crazy how good this movie is. Sure it helps to have Bale and Pitt and Carell but it also truly speaks to the skill of the writer, the director and the editor.
Everyone talks about Brad Pitt's "Stop dancing" scene, but the scene with the Regulator at the pool is also a reminder that people who should have avoided this situation not only didn't do it, they actually ended up partaking in and endorsing the situation.
"Could you please stop being such a buzz-kill, dude"? LOL! Imagine hiring a broker who calls you "dude"? :)
Love the WAMU booth in the background. One of the banks that disappeared in the crash.
As well as Bear Stearns next to WaMu and at the end of the scene you see part of the name Lehmann.
This is an amazingly brilliant film. Always makes me laugh. The acting is brilliant. 🙂
First 30 seconds and none of em can play it straight with Ryan, he genuinely cracks each one of them up....
Even the Soprano family had an interest in this! ❤😂
"It's possible that we are in a completely fraudulent system" - was exactly that way and still is
We are in a completely fraudulent system. It's not possible we are.
Steve Carell was absolutely brilliant in this movie.
"you must be from bank of America" lmao ahaha
“Thank you for your diary” love that part lol
This film should be mandated into the curriculum of every educational system in the country
The emperor had no clothes, and no one was looking.
Excellent sound reproduction on this. Better than the DVD I bought! Thank you.
Next up:
The Big Squeeze: HOLD THE LINE
"You must be from Bank of America" 😂🤣
2:23 pointing the weapon sideways....yeah..he'd be immediately expelled from the range lol
The many dislikes are due to these scenes only really making sense AFTER you've seen the movie.
I’ve seen this movie 10 times and now I understand it lol
They bet against a improperly valued “asset”, and they were right.
The didn’t make the market collapse, that was bound to happen. They simply put there money where there mouth was and scored big time.
2:02 gosling sounded like he was about to cry
Damn i watched this movie 9 times but the clips still make me watch it voer and over again .
