What did Sup Forums think of it?

fugg, i almost forgot brad pitt was in this one.

it was good, patrick bateman is really good actor

the little vignettes where some famous person talks about an economic concept were grating and embarasing, the movie would have been well served to drop those but otherwise good work everybody

Margot Robbie in a bathtub/10

JACKED TO THE TITS

Wtf I hate Wall Street now

Super forgettable and bland movie.

He always plays the white savior guy that everyone turns to

I liked Anthony Bourdain's one, but the Selena Gomez one was disgusting.

Very forgettable. Somehow it got Oscar noms even though I couldn't tell you a single character's name.

I enjoyed it on my first watch but found it a really bland and dull film on the second watch.

>it's wall streets' fault that millions of retards willingly entered contracts that they couldn't afford
wtf I hate capitalism now

the reason i watched it was because i wanted an idiots guide to the collapse of the housing market
i watched the whole thing thinking oh wow i can't believe the banks did all this shit
a few weeks later i couldn't tell you anything about how it happened and actually i have more questions now.
margot might have been in a tub but so fucking what she didn't explain how shorting worked for shit i had to wiki it.

Well yeah it is. Banks are supposed to asses risk and not have huge numbers of defaults on their hands.

Banks give out loans, mostly to people who can pay them back, partially to people who can't pay them back.

Wall Street rewards the banks, thinking that ~enough~ of the loans will be paid back.

Over time, the number of people who can't pay back loans (but are still given them) increases, while the world still rewards the banks for """enough""" loans being paid off.

Eventually, too many loans can't be paid off.

Everyone acts surprised when too many loans don't get paid off.

The banks are out of money.

The government bails out the banks.

The End.

wow maybe fucking pull your head out your ass
the mortgages were bundled together then a rated because if the rating company didnt a rate them the bank would get someone else too, then they were ballooned into lots of other securities that were also shitty and fucked
if the ratings of the bundles had been done correctly there wouldn't have been a problem

i get the big picture but i really enjoy all the technicalities of how it works its like watching some kind of disgusting porn where you don't really want to watch but kind of have to. i spent a few days at work learning the ins and outs.

Oh yeah I forgot, the rating agencies were the reason millions bought houses they couldn't afford. Thanks!

It's good, but with some problems. The emotional moments, Prison Mike's dead brother and Autistic Christian Bale's company problems were pretty fucking lame. Brad Pitt was pretty forgettable as the savior. The movie did have some good moments, but it tried to do too much, and suffered as a result.

that's not how it worked dummy.
You have people buying houses with fake ids, SSNs, etc. just completely fake information, then you would have some people buy the houses knowing they could bankrupt them the second shit hits the fan, and then you had some people who thought they could pay off their houses, etc.

So the people using fake information and the bankrupsters rented out a lot of their housing and otherwise to a lot of people, when shit hit the fan, people renting those houses got fucked. Not only having their credit raped, but also losing all their money in the process. Then, you got the people who genuinely thought they could pay their loans back. Which they could, until shit hit the fan. When the housing market blew up because banks gave out a shit ton of loans, the whole economy got fucked. After the whole economy got fucked, those initially with intention to pay off then lost their housing and ability, because their jobs were ultimately shat on because of a terrible economic failure.

The system fucked itself knowingly.

I loved it, thought it deserved the Oscar more than the Revenant and Spotlight. People are saying it was forgettable but it's definitely a film I'll remember years from now. It's also a film that definitely needed to be made for those of us who didn't understand the crisis while it was actually happening.

banks make money selling the mortgage debt bundles to investors
banks run out of people taking out mortgages
banks want more money from selling the debt
banks lower their standards of who gets loans in order to put together more bundles of debt to sell and make a profit on
banks get ratings company to fraudulently rate shitty bundles as really good bundles in order to sell them

go out and offer a homeless guy 100$ then when he takes it say he robbed you and start crying. thats essentially your argument.

Did we watch the same movie?

They blamed the banks for issuing loans without any collateral. They blamed wall street for not seeing that this was happening.

People only pretend to like this movie.

>offer a homeless guy 100$ then when he takes it say he robbed you and start crying
Do leftists actually believe this?

the characters were great
it explained the situation great
i wasn't sure how manipulative it was with presenting all the heroes as decent worthwhile heroes who totally cared about the poor honest plebs whilst they profited immensely from the situation and it felt fakey and uncomfortable

it was a very well made movie but it made my skin crawl

As good dramatization of important hard-to-grasp economic issue as you can feasibly make... and still have it turn profit. Decent movie in its own right.

That being said it only focused on small and the most obvious part of fundamentally broken system. The current fiat money system has a gigantic amount of issues on several layers... which are all natural byproducts of a system that uses capitalism as a goal instead of capitalism as a tool.

I caught a few minutes of it when my family watched it. Had no interest in seeing it for myself. Seemed like a boring ripoff of The Wolf of Wall Street. My idiot friend saw it and then tried investing some extra money he had and ended up losing most of it. I think that says a lot about people who liked this movie.

Was it like Moneyball?

All of the drama and none of the substance. Like we were supposed to be enticed by this story without actually knowing what the fuck is going on. They didn't explain shit.

Good to teach idiots why they lost their houses, obviously Inside Job is a thousand times better

It's a much, much better adaptation than Moneyball is but they did throw a handful of drama in there. Particularly with Baum/Eisman.

IMHO great movie, I especially liked how they portrayed an idea of feeling insane when you know you are right and yet everyone around you tells you you are wrong, the christian bale's guy had the balls of fucking steel.

I also liked how they showed the humane aspect of crisis: people buy stuff because television tells them that is a smart thing to do, real estate brokers live a crazy lifestyle, never questioning the legitimacy of their operation, wall street guys are a herd that goes after whatever they are told is right.

It's also funny how people get embarrassed how the jew magic is dumbed down for them even though this embarrassment is precisely what (((they))) want.

The only strange thing that I remember is that final confrontation of good vs evil is a jew vs asian, but it's not that bad.

Overall movie really rustled my jimmies even though i've already watched the inside job and similar stuff earlier. But as one of the anons said I'm not sure it will hold out on a second viewing.

Is that The Goose?
