[@alfredneuman1916]

Just wanted to say thanks for taking on a movie that actually requires a little thought and deserves much more recognition. Well done.

[@frankwolftown]

They need to show this to kids in the 1st Grade.

[@SoteksChunkyProphet-dg7io]

@@frankwolftown We can't even get most adults to understand this movie. Showing to kids seems pointless.

[@TheLisa-Al-Gaib]

Wow, this has been a really special experience. In an endless sea of reactors all watching the same movies, you choose an amazing film that pretty much no one has reacted to! Not only that, but Freddy actually has serious knowledge about banking which brings a great new layer to the reaction of a movie that I love. On the one hand, I find The Big Short entertaining, but mostly I rewatch it to keep reminding myself what kind of a system I’m dealing with-sheesh! Thanks so much for this, guys I really enjoyed it!

[@domorethings2115]

wow glad we could bring this reaction out of you and leaving this comment, we both appreciate it. -A/F

[@JamesASharp]

You're right.

[@JamesASharp]

@@domorethings2115 She's right. All of the popular KZbin movie reactors are literally reacting to the same films. But, I get it. For some, yes, they're too afraid to react to the more obscure films because they won't get 40,000 or more views. I've seen it. They take the risk, and it doesn't payoff. Unless, you have a big channel and you're so popular that you get 50k views regardless of the obscure movie. But, mainly it's because they're trying to grow their channels. And you can't go wrong with The Lord of The Rings trilogy, Star Wars, the MCU, some DC films, Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List, the Jurassic Park franchise, very recently the Scary Movie franchise, etc. It is what it is. Me personally, I just want a reaction to Munich (2005).

[@rxlxviii]

@@domorethings2115 You guys should really react to "Too Big To Fail". I found that to be the most accurate representation of exactly what happened during the financial crisis from my experience on working on Wall Street during the time. Obviously, Hollywood puts their own commentary in there which isn't accurate, but it's pretty little and the rest of the movie is pretty accurate. It was taken from the book of the same name written by Andrew Ross Sorkin who is one of the three hosts of CNBC from 6 AM.

[@TomorrowWeLive]

@@JamesASharp I feel exactly the same way

[@miriamortiz8981]

This movie gave me such a headache the first time I watched it because I couldn’t comprehend how people allowed this to happen.

[@JamesASharp]

It's the world we live in.

[@itssteve6018]

Greed. They allowed it to happen because countless people along the way wanted their cut, and didn't care who got hurt.

[@Rah1381]

Money

[@S.E.Walker]

Hell yes, been wanting some reactions to this movie. It’s a freaking ride, and I feel it’s woefully underappreciated outside the finance world.

[@domorethings2115]

Happy you found this video ! thanks for leaving a comment !

[@ScarlettM]

If you haven't see it, watch "Margin Call" - really good movie!

[@The_Bermuda_Nonagon]

I second this recommendation MARGIN CALL (2011) is the PERFECT pairing with THE BIG SHORT. :D

[@artboymoy]

I watched it but I felt The Big Short explained it better and it went more places and covered more time than Margin Call did. It's still a good movie but I'd put The Big Short over it.

[@NationalistsRuinAmerica]

I watched Margin Call right after the Big Short and I thought it was incredibly boring in comparison.

[@blankslate1993]

YES

[@TheNewSchoolGamer]

100 great film with a solid cast, probably my favourite "underrated movie"

[@kevin.k2817]

Is it just me or is the right guy looking a lot like Ted Mosby 😂 ! Jokes aside I enjoyed it a lot hope you guys get more publicity !

[@strykerbravo9910]

Ted Mosby really knows his stuff! Lol But good reaction. Enjoyed the commentary. Good stuff bois

[@likeforthealgorithm]

That's all I could think every time I look at that guy. Hey Ted! LOL

[@artboymoy]

I'm totally surprised to see a reaction video to this. It's one of my favorite movies to rewatch as I pick up more and comprehend it better. It's a wildly entertaining way to explain the crisis. Can't believe it's by the same guy that did Anchorman. Superb acting and a film that everyone should watch and then maybe we would have some actual finance reform. Valuing money making money over earned income is one of the things I wish people would wake up to.

[@krishnanaudiyal2778]

so glad y'all are reacting to this underrated masterpiece

[@DanielNetSet]

thank you for actually reacting to the contents of the movie. i had fun watching you!

[@Jim73]

I upvoted first time I watched, but I gotta back it up. I've watched this at least 5 times. I effing love this. I like Freddy knowing what it means and reacting. You should do the other 2008 financial crash movies - "Inside Job", and "Margin Call". If there are others, please tell me, I love these movies. For some weird reason Freddy's stoic-faced reactions while he's talking truth is really compelling to me. I mean, he emotes, but somehow not seeing much emotion and then seeing like 30% what an actor might do makes it seem even more impactful. Weird! Don't start a Hedge Fund without me, bro! ;)

[@priyamd4759]

The rating agencies had their incentive for sure. Also, when you add multiple events then their probability of happening the new event is lower. One mortgage can go down with say a probability of 50% If we add one more to the pile then the probability of the pile going bust is reduced as the probabilities get multiplied. Mortage A must fail *AND* mortgage B must fail. if we add 100 such mortgages then the probability of failing all of these is considerably low and hence the rating shoots up. The catch is this formula applies only if the underlying events are unrelated - like one coin toss from another. Diff mortgages coming from diff locations and diff households are unrelated but only up to certain point. They all have the underlying economy as the common theme. So, there is a small chance that ALL of these will fail. By increasing their volumes to astronomical proportions the bankers were knocking/ hammering on that door. It finally happened. i am from India and non-finance background. This is my understanding. Would love to hear comments on my understanding. Liked the reaction. Thanks, Regards,

[@safespacebear]

I love the character interactions between Steve Carrolls character and his hard ass that works for him. They are really at each other throughtout but at the end when hes begging him to sell he has compassion for Steve's character. He knows its not just money to him but a matter of principle and he pays respect to that.

[@genida951]

And the lady at the rating agency is portrayed as being blind. Hammering in the metaphor :D

[@ManicReactions]

In the book, the investors all had an enormous amount of stress that led to physical symptoms from betting against the economy. Having the foreknowledge that the system was doomed was just too much to proces, especially as it all began to fall apart precisely as they had predicted.

[@ben_spiller]

The banks sold a lot of swaps and owed a lot of money to a lot of people. So it was either sell it for less than face value while still making a profit, or risk the bank not being able to pay you anything.

[@roguemerlin1969]

Michael was the head of a private hedge fund and the investment agreement his clients signed did give him the power to restrict withdrawals and sole say in investment strategy. Michael's fund made about 489% profits, or 2.9 billion Marks' fund made about a billion, and the two kids with Brownhole made 84 million in profits. Even the guy who got Mark involved with the wrong number phone call, made 47 million in commissions and bonus. While this movie isn't a documentary, it is very factual. The characters were real though some names were changed for legal reasons. Some things were embellished, after all, it is a movie and has to be interesting.

[@stefsmurf]

I think you meant to say, 4.89 billion, not 489 billion.

[@roguemerlin1969]

@@stefsmurf I had to go back and check and edited my post. It was 489% profit, 2.9 billion for Scion.

[@faithshade1430]

The answer is Dr Michael Burry made around 100 million in personal profit and his fund investors’ total profit was around 700 million +.

[@scottlescard6154]

Another good movie on this setting is Margin Call. A must see.

[@thefederalreserveispureevil]

Fun fact, many fund managers actually have full autonomy with investor funds. Or there could be massive penalties of as much as 50% for pulling your money out early from a fund. A lot of funds have very strict rules. And investors can make a large sum of money but most fund managers have stringent rules put in place to either heavily discourage investors or lock out investors from their money. Its because fund managers have a fiduciary responsibility to the fund, not the investor.

[@cognitiveinstinct2929]

They didn't cover how during the 90s they started fining banks who weren't including subprime loans in their bonds. So Mark's "they knew" doesnt quite capture it. The US government encouraged it.

[@rrrrramone]

Great reaction and I loved how Freddy understood what he was watching. I’m assuming you’ve already seen Boiler Room and Wall Street but have you seen Rogue Trader and Margin Call yet? Great movies if you’re really into finance. I’m also going to check out Inside Job because of your recommendation

[@ben_spiller]

The banks paid back the bailout money. The US government actually made $109 billion from the interest. Although they probably lost way more in tax revenue during the collapse and recession.

[@magicalmiller]

"you can't just tell people that you can't get their money" YES you can when the ORIGINAL INVESTOR CONTRACTS DICTATES THAT, which he SAYS OUT LOUD while he is writing the mass email.

[@actualkarenokboomer3158]

Christian Bale met the guy he is playing. Christian Bale says he has an agreement and carte blanche to do what he thinks is best because they know he is good at it.

[@patholmwood2030]

Micheal Burry did have the right to limit investors withdrawls. As the head of a fund you almost have full autonomy of the money in the fund. You can pretty much do whatever you want, even though it will make the investors mad

[@shainewhite2781]

After I saw this film with my parents a month after I got it on BLU Ray, he said, "There's gonna be another housing market crash and we're all screwed because those idiots on Wall Street have been ripping us off for far too long, they got too greedy."

[@nathanlawson313]

I got into this industry in 2013. I work at an independent firm in Detroit. Still see shady things every day that the "big guys" sell to people. They are ruthless liars.

[@davidhutchinson5233]

You're absolutely right about adjustable rate mortgages ARMs. I never put clients in them unless they had really bad credit and always set them up for a refi a year or two later 6 mos before the rate was set to adjust. Never sold a ninja, stated or any of those other crazy loans even once. Always fixed. Made plenty of money doing the right thing by my clients. Never leave a client out to dry. Never.

[@TheBarca1889]

Really liked both of you two's reaction :D

[@SwiftEC360]

So fuxking impressed with how fast you caught on.

[@sabalos]

If, at any time, you say "a financial crash is coming", you will be right. Crashes aren't unfortunate disasters - they're an essential part of a system that cares only about production for profit.

[@vijays296]

Amazing movie. You guys also understood this pretty well which was hard for me on the first watch

[@kateotoole6690]

Is This Movie (The Big Short) Like The Other Guys?

[@mickaelsflow6774]

If you haven't, you should watch Margin Call. Great stuff there too. And the acting... stellar! Addendum: They all made money. To varying degrees. Mark Baum made money, but off his parent's company "too". Hence the less stellar celebration. Also, he didn't do it for the money. In the movie.

[@katievitale2730]

Hey! Great reaction video! The movie is based on a book of the same name by Michael Lewis, and goes much more in depth on a technical level. Totally reccomend.

[@mrdavman13]

At the end Michael burry write +489%. So yes he made lots of money.

[@davidgagne3569]

Thanks for this reaction to a wonderful movie.

[@actualkarenokboomer3158]

There is an interview with the author of the book, the director of the movie, Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale and Steve Carrel. The interviewer at the end asks if being in the movie made them want to invest or increase their investments and almost in unison they all said, "NO". kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2m9mYN-r8SLea8

[@rogergonzalez3272]

it's just me or the guy in the right is Ted Mosby?

[@x_mau9355]

In reality Jared Vennet's role in the whole Subprime story is WAY WAY WAY less "honorable". He was one of the architects of the crisis, BEFORE everything blew up. It's worth to read something about the guy. I don't know why they changed his role in this story. Probably they needed one "charachter" to link Banking System and short sellers...

[@yeliab67]

Michael Bury made $489 Million in profit.

[@blaze5688]

Nah he made 100 mil for himself and 700 for his investors

[@eaguillen2924]

I tried watching a different reaction by you guys, I couldn't get into it, can't remember what it was. I wasn't salty or anything, nor did I leave a nasty comment, just moved on and avoided. Fast forward to now, I'm looking for some one reacting to this movie and see you guys. I think, ah hell I'll give em a shot. I'm just halfway through this reaction and I'm really enjoying your commentary. You may not be experts on the subject, but you know alot of little things. So thanks for doing reactions guys, and thanks for reacting to something no one else does.

Freddy, don't go back to working for the man. If you have a little money, open up your own trading account. Do like Brownhole, they weren't buying and selling stocks, they were trading options.

[@user-oi9to7ux7k]

I got sick of listening to the know-it-all on the right constantly talking and thinking he was explaining it to the dumb friend on the left who didn't say anything all movie.

[@chefskiss6179]

Great pick, guys. Loved the extra layer of your experience that you brought to the table. What really guts me is that you could live your life staying away from sh** and be smart with your money and not extending yourself with your credit, like the guy who just wants to live his life looking after his family and paying his rent on time, and you think nothing can happen to me as well... then you see that if his landlord f***s up, he in turn gets f***ed and is out on the street. That killed me. From a construction point of view and squeezing broccoli into twinkies, this movie is pretty phenomenal. The director, Adam McKay, did a similar treatment with Vice, the flick about Dick Cheney.

[@destructivebean1]

would you bet against the housing market in a few decades? if there is another collapse coming more people will be aware of it so i wonder how a collapse would be altered due to the experience of the last one. I dont get all this lmao
