Ben's character is great. In the book, the real life Ben was ranting to the two young guys about systematic risk-taking by the banks and how nuts they were. At one point one of the guys goes "Ben, you're terrified of risk but you live in a house at the peak of the market built on a fault line on a mountain!" Ben hung up immediately and they thought they offended him. He calls them later and says "I got off the phone and sold my house."

Notice how he is in the Black Horse Pub ? 🤔

[@jimmyajp]

Of the Four Horsemen, the black horse and its rider are the only ones whose appearance is accompanied by a vocalization. John hears a voice, unidentified but coming from among the four living creatures, that speaks of the prices of wheat and barley, also saying "and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine". This suggests that the black horse's famine is to drive up the price of grain but leave oil and wine supplies unaffected (though out of reach of the ordinary worker). One explanation for this is that grain crops would have been more naturally susceptible to famine years or locust plagues than olive trees and grapevines, which root more deeply.[3] ;-)

@@AJ-iu6nw There is always one coming. In the 1980's there were junk bonds and the Savings & Loan scandal. In 2000 there was the tech bubble burst. In 2006 WorldCom, 2007 Enron, etc. What is next? Bitcoin, maybe. It didn't matter when Bitcoin was only in the hands of nerds, anti-government conspiracy nuts, terrorists and drug dealers. But now even the biggest financial institutions are involved in crypto. Not exposed to the extent they were with subprime mortgages, though. China's economy at risk of collapse because they have billions upon billions of mortgages on unfinished tofu cities for which the people are now refusing to pay their mortgages.

@@AJ-iu6nw Yep. Similar scale, but a different animal. Probably be related to sovereign and corporate debt, and FX rates will be a factor. Keep your pantry full, and your powder dry!

[@VenturiLife]

@@AJ-iu6nw Similar but different, as the guy below has pointed out. One issue now is you can park your money in US bonds at 4%. This currently makes it very difficult for equity markets to compete on a returns vs. risk basis, maybe they return 7% but you're only 3% ahead and there could be a lot of risk involved in holding the equity. The Big Short hit the banks/financials and real estate, but it also causes people to slam their wallets shut and effects the entire economy. This is similar but there are many other moving parts, an unresolved war and energy crisis etc. for a start.

@@damschu23 .... I don't even know how to elaborate on the ignorance of what you just said. Finance is the most important industry in the world you fool (with the exception of the tech industry), without financial institutions as a middle man the socio-economical foundation itself would collapse and we'd be reduced back to the so-called "Dark Ages". Again, you're probably just some disgruntled poor person who has no idea how the economy works, watched some movies made by CAPITALIST producers and developers, then up and decided to "eat the rich!" and all that jazz.

[@damschu23]

@@KevinJohnson-cv2no Of course I was exaggerating. Yes, finance is important, but don't be so arrogant as to say every criticism is due to the critic being poor and "disgruntled". Bankers together with politicians all over the world have given the people enough reasons to dislike them. Where I live, one single bank did such crooked business (knowingly) that it eventually came to light, they went bankrupt and had to be bailed out with 10 billion of taxpayer money which of course they were. The problem imo is that they have politicians and law enforcement in their pockets. That could be seen in 2008 when but one banker in the US was sent to jail despite all the malpractice that was going on and millions of Americans losing jobs and homes. So yes, I am disgruntled. Am I poor? Depends on your definition of it. But don't be a dick and realize the reasons people are disgruntled and some outright hate wall street. The story of jordan belfort is another example of which i'm sure there are many more which we'll never hear about. It's a fact that not all people in finance work there for the people, many want only personal gain and considering they will probably never be prosecuted for messing up this will just go on and on. And by the way, cryptocurrencies show that there is a way of creating a payment system that is not influenced directly by humans who have their agenda. Jut like many other industries, the financial sector might be automated entirely in the future.

@@inroundform7325 He has a mode. But it's pretty good. Just as Mozart had a consistent style. But it modulates enough for each act, or in his case, pieces and major works he does. Pitt's not a chameleon actor like Jeff Daniels or Gary Oldman or Daniel Day Lewis. But that absolute turn about acting style is rare. He's more like a Tom Hanks or Morgan Freeman or even Christan Bale. They have a consistent mode, but it's captivating none the less and they're able to vary it just enough to keep it interesting.

This film isn't underrated at all. Just because you love a film while everyone imediately around you gushes over the MCU and other basic shit on Netflix doesn't mean people beyond that aren't appreciating this film---or like you're it's only fan.

I just realized how poignant that last bit of conversation is when they ask Ben why he did it. Even for the Shorts, no one ask the question 'why' while there an opportunity to make money.
