>movie acknowledges that they're narrating only to explain "big words" to the audience
>Then throws in a pretty actress, naked to explain further while breaking the fourth wall to include said retarded audience and make em laugh
Have you ever been so insulted by a movie?
Should I even continue watching this?
>here is selena gomez!
>>71962856
>current year
>not shortposting
you m8's need to step ur shit up
>>71962856
I cringed hard at that part. They do it twice more with Selena Gomez playing blackjack and Anthony Bourdain cooking something. Those ones aren't nearly as bad, but the Margot Robbie one kind of irked me.
bumping for more rare Baums
>>71962856
did you not like evil bane 2?
>>71962856
I stopped watching like 10 minutes after this scene. It's just a very bad, uninteresting movie.
They make a point early on to say the only reason those "big words" exist in the first place is so the average person thinks bankers know way more than them. What they did with the movie was the exact opposite. On purpose.
>>71962856
It's there for stupid people. If you don't need it that's fine, but no need to get offended by it.
and yes OP you should watch the movie
>>71962856
I thought this was kinda jarring too. The naked girl was pretty insulting, it's like the directors think I'm only gonna pay attention to something if there's a hot, half naked girl discussing something. Like i'm gonna hang my tongue out and drool at her hue hueh ue.
Also I hate anthony bourdain so fucking much. It was a whatever movie and I honestly had a hard time following along due to little things like this. Bad direction?
>>71962856
Keep watching. You may learn a thing or two.
They do it so the high school kid audience that will watch this every sub day in the future will pay some fucking attention. It's fine.
If you didn't want to be insulted you'd go onto the Wikipedia page to learn about this stuff and then double check all their sources, you nerd
>>71962950
ungrapeful
>>71962856
I just rewatched Wolf of Wall Street, and it's the same way. Leo will break the 4th wall and describe some scheme they were pulling off, then half way through the explanation he's like "You don't understand anything I'm saying, but the important thing is we were making a fortune and breaking the law"
Muthafucka I have a business degree, I'm actually interested in what the hell you were doing, but I guess everything needs to be dumbed down these days
Also, The Big Short should have been a documentary
>>71962987
This, my fampais. Ryan Gosling explicitly states that the banker jargon is all bullshit legalese type crap to make regular joes think only bankers can do what they do. These scenes were cutting through the bullshit and laying it out in clear terms, as sort of "fuck all this misdirection, here's what's actually happening" moments.
>>71962950
>Enter chinese financier
>point out thats racisst
>>71962856
how did this win best picture haahahahaahahahahahaaaa
>>71963040
are you not fucking satisfied
>not realizing the naked margot robbie is satire
They literally say "heres Margot Robbie in a bathtub" iirc
>>71963058
he doesn't even say anything complicated, he is literally explaining ROI and stops and says nah you dont get this
>>71963058
Clearly that line isn't for you, you fucking retard.
Same with op, they expect actual idiots to watch this, and have to make sure they dont just turn it off once they start using big words.
>There are people who didn't like this movie
mfw
>>71963058
In Wolf, his delivery was intentionally insulting. The scenes in Big Short are sort of the opposite of the ones in Wolf.

>>71963132
>and have to make sure they dont just turn it off once they start using big words.
It's not that, it's more of what >>71963072 said. It's to show that everything bankers tell us is way too complicated and they need to handle, is in fact not that complicated at all when you explain it correctly. To show that you don't need to be smart to control money, and in fact a lot of the ones that do, aren't.

what movie?
>the bubble burst and the entire economy went into recession for literally the EXACT same reason Japan's bubble burst in 92, down to it being because of the housing price assets.
>literally no one in the US saw this coming
I just don't understand this. It's not like these people weren't alive 16 years earlier.
>>71963248
Well the stock market in of itself is essentially gambling. Even with years of researching trends you could fuck up and pick the wrong choice due to shit going sour overnight.
>>71962856
Fuck this movie!
I saw it at the cinema with my then gf and being a metalhead as soon as Pantera started playing I jumped out of my seat, screamed FUCK YEAH and threw up some devil horns and started air guitatring, when I realised what I had done in a packed cinema I just left and drove home embarrassed as fuck, the then gf had to walk 5 miles home
The Big Short fucking blew, who's idea was it to have those super crazy closeups?
>>71963320
>Well the stock market in of itself is essentially gambling
Yeah kind of my point, the whole thing is pretty retarded. If too many people fuck up the entire economy can collapse.
>>71963090

Its funny because you are so insecure that if you even feel like anyone may indirectly be insulting your intelligence it makes you disinterested. The tone was very clear "big words" are intentionally and needlessly complicated (note, this isnt an opinion but a statement of how the jargon is vs how it could be) just to disempower the consumer.
Imagine you are standing in a crowd of 50 people, most of which are physically weaker than you. Someone points at a golden dollar underneath a piano and says "look everyone, theyve put the dollar under the piano just so you think you need big strong men to get it", and, although you can lift the piano, can you not fucking comprehend the point of the statement anyway?
I too, just watched this yesterday via netflix and i thought the movie did a very nice job if balancing the explanations. This subject matter isnt easy, not because it requires great intellect to comprehend, but because its filled with abstract concepts that are incredibly dry and the details are irrelevant to most people.
You have your intelligence insulted daily by tv commercials, the internet and most ads in general. This movie was insulting how the subject matter was designed.
Seriously, just think about it.
>>71963727
kek, fuck off nerd
>>71963058
Yeeeahh you really need to rewatch both scenes if you even think the message is the same.
>>71963058
What makes you think a character like that is going to sit down and explain this shit to you
I actually enjoyed the the Brad Pitt sub-plot. I wonder if a movie could have been made with just him and the 2 investors. I have a feeling it could.
>>71963144
this anon gets it

Anyone else know this feel?

Goddamn, she's looking old as fuck in that picture. Too much Hollywood drugs and sexual favors.
>>71963942
when your dubs don't get checked
>>71963400
they ruined it with the "ummm my name is john!" followup
they were too afraid to have a genuinely politically incorrect moment and had to qualify it seconds later
>>71962856
I really liked The Big Short but its attempts at humor were consistently bad. Gosling didn't strike me as being very charismatic/suited to the funny interlocutor role, either.
>>71964030
>Hello....I would like to short ALL the dubs and I wwant you to guarantee it.
>>71964029
Fuck you
>>71964029
christ you're a faggot
>>71964235
Can I get insurance to cover the posts I make which don't get dubs?
Can I use these dubs as a down payment?
I really liked this movie, but yeah the fourth wall breaking bits were kind of taking the piss. Movie felt a little confused in that wants to be cheeky and dead serious at the same time.
Also why doesn't Brad Pitt even try anymore ?
>>71964664
Angelina Succubus has sucked the life out of him.
>>71964176
What? Gosling killed it. Did you not hear his constant(every 5 seconds under his breath) insults to his assistant?
>>71962856
>movie acknowledges it's complicated and too difficult for the average person to understand
>here's some celeb to easily explain it to you
>celeb makes it even more complicated
>>71964832
>celeb makes it even more complicated
Wut?
>>71962856
Good movie but the Margot Robbie scene was pretty insulting yeah. The other 2 were fine but hers just pissed me off for some reason.
>>71964885
in the film they go on some rant and finally say nah brah you dont understand this
so they bring in the celeb and they also go on some long ass rant still barely giving an explanation
>>71962856
Most overrated film of the decade so far.

fuck off
>>71964905
I haven't seen the movie. What were the other two?
>>71964905
what was wrong with margot's? i liked her telling me to fuck off, i thought the selena one was the worst and i don't even remember a 3rd one
>>71962856
1. It sounds like the movie was satirizing movies that do it unironically. Maybe your irony level is just 2low2getit.
2. What movie is this
>>71965027
>he didn't get it
kek stick to marvel flicks kid
>>71965077
Selena Gomez with economist Richard Thaler and Anthony Bourdain
>>71965119
I honestly don't even know why her's in particular pissed me off it just did. Bourdain was the third.
>>71964597
>Do you understand what we just did; if we win than that means that all the dubs of the US crashes
What did he mean by that?
americans are too stupid to understand or pay attention to basic financial lingo otherwise
it was either a hot girl or a cheeseburguer
>>71965137
The Big Short about the financial crisis of 2008
great film plus it has margot robbie naked in a tub
>>71965256
>>71965263
this
Was anybody else not able to stand the editing in this movie? I understand that some of it was done to get that mid-2000s feel, but it just got distracting at some parts.
>>71964959
No, I'm incredulous that you found their breakdowns more complicated than the terms and processes used by the banks.
>>71965309
yeah, it was obnoxious af
steve jobs had the same problem but on a smaller scale
>>71965263
Some of the terms have been created specifically for certain schemes. Did you know what a CDO was before watching the movie?
>>71962856
We aren't supposed to understand how the system works, that's the point. I guess it can make you feel stupid, but it wasn't meant to insult your intelligence. If your average movie goer could explain that shit like some blonde bimbo, the crash probably wouldn't have happened.
>>71965347
it's not that, it's just the editing is so quick and they rant on for ages it's hard to keep up with everything.
what i'm saying is that it's definitely a multiple viewing film
>>71962856
Normies love to think that every chaotic concept can be explained with 'git 'er done' approach. That everything boils down to coherent data and that upboat / crimethink ratio is just. Martian is that way too - follow the yellow brick road and you will get your own soap bubbles in the end. Heck, you might get chosen for an oldschoolcool photo or two.
>>71965652
>>71962921
2bh the Bourdain one didn't bother me so much. I thought the Robbie vignette was lowbrow and the Gomez one was just shit.
>>71963058
most of the shit he was doing isnt even that complex, it was mostly just standard pump and dump shit and selling people shit stocks that went nowhere.
the shit with the IPO might've been a little harder to explain, but still he already said what a rathole was. he owned stock secretly, pushed the price up and sold.
>>71965652
Honestly, very few people actually want to read about what happen in 08. The closest thing to a proper explanation in the form of a movie is Inside Job, but you really can't expect to understand the situation in a little less than 2 hours.
The most popular form of communication (movies, music, social media internet), to paraphase Neil Postman, "excludes the content."
>>71965309
>the scene with Moneymaker
the rest of the movie could fuck off. I love moneymaker and I enjoyed that scene and I don't give a fuck how much of a pleb that makes me
>>71965899
Yeah, but it takes an especially shitty movie to preach stuff in a TED talk manner
Worse than capeshit
>lol is this just like the wolf of Wall Street? xd
Why are moviegoers so fucking stupid
>>71965309
I loved it. Made me feel nostalgic af when Feel Good Inc kicked in
