THE BIG SHORT is one of those anger-inducing movies.
Pulling back the curtain on all the shady business that was taking place several years ago to prop up the housing market and ultimately the economy, Adam McKay‘s adaptation of Michael Lewis‘ book will have you fuming in your seat as you get a better understanding of why people were losing their homes and who was benefiting from it.
The new trailer for the film from Paramount only scratches the surface of everything that was happening, although it starts to lay the foundation for all the fraud and greed that fueled this eventual economic collapse. At a time when we get outraged about every little thing, here’s a film that deserves that sort of response and hopes you direct it accordingly to affect future change.
THE BIG SHORT starts its limited release on December 11.
