The Big Short

Adam McKay · 2015

A financial crisis explained w/ the urgency of a thriller and the confidence of someone breaking every storytelling rule. I'd rate it AAA.

What stayed

The passage of time, the scale and seriousness of the situation, the storytelling, and the fourth-wall breaks.

Why I recommend it

My favourite finance movie. It makes an intimidating subject feel grand, urgent and strangely entertaining.
