Even a layman not familiar with the financial jargons (CDO, CDS etc), can still understand what the film is talking about. I personally very much appreciate the making of this film which tells the complicated mechanism of the derivative products with some daily-life events that are easy to understand.Dr Michael Burry, an investment fund(Scion Fund) manager, knew in advance that the American mortgage market was on the verge of collapse in 2006, he decided to do a big short on it. When he approached those big investment banks( Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank AG, etc) trying to seek a deal, he was looked down as an idiot and was soon accepted. Very interesting indeed. Eventually the Scion Fund was up 489% after the property market went burst. Also Christian Bale playing as Dr Burry gave a very good performance in the film, so as to add more merits to it. Furthermore, you may think that the Chinese name of this film is a good work If you know the Chinese idiom " To stake all on one throw."
