After seeing the trailer for the movie, “The Big Short,” I had no idea what I just watched. To me, it wasn’t clear what the premise of the film is but one thing was clear; the movie has several big-named actors.
That can be a really good thing or really bad because from what I’ve seen in the past with movies that have big casts is they often rely on the big names and the story lacks. Who knows, that may not be the case here but we’ll see (or some of us will).
The movie is based on true story and stars Brad Pitt as Ben Rickert, Christian Bale as Michael Burry, Finn Wittrcok as Jamie Shipley, Karen Gillan as Evie, Ryan Gosling as Jared Vennett, Marisa Tomei as Cynthia Baum, Steve Carell as Mark Baum and many others.
What is the actual plot? Well perhaps you should view the trailer and decide for yourself because truth is, I have no idea. I’ve only seen the trailer once so perhaps I’d have a better idea if I watched it again but at the same time, it might be a better idea to let it remain a mystery. I do know it’s got one heck of a cast though.
