It's like that scene in The Big Short: "I don't get it, why are they confessing?" "They're not confessing - they're bragging".

- tptacek 4y agoRight. But (1) The Big Short was not a very good movie, and (2) it was about the collapse of the entire housing market. This is about the collapse of an abstract metaPonzi scheme.
- camjohnson26 4y agoThe Big Short and Boiler room are incredible movies. The only real competition is Wolf of Wall Street, which goes too deep into the debauched party lifestyle at the expense of the more interesting financial story, and Margin Call which has the opposite problem since it’s completely inaccessible to most people.

- amanaplanacanal 4y agoI quite liked Margin Call.
- bitcharmer 4y agoIt's an amazing movie and for a good reason. It explains the complexities involved in the 2008 market crash using simple and humorous analogies making the problem comprehensible.
- tptacek 4y agoIt's good on simple and humorous analogies and bad on explanation (and plotting).
