11/1/2023 0 Comments Movie reviews the big shortI've seen several Japanese import films like this-and they helped to explain cultural references that most non-Japanese viewers would miss. What I would LOVE to see is a pop-up video version of the film with explanatory text appearing on the screen throughout the movie to further clarify what is happening. And, with the film tossing around all sorts of insider jargon, it's sure to confuse more than entertain. Sure, folks know that the banks were foolish as were home buyers (since they couldn't possibly afford these homes).but that's about as far as their understanding goes. This is because although the housing bubble's burst was a mess and destroyed a lot of peoples' lives, few folks really understand it. "The Big Short" is a good film but also a film that would be tough for the average viewer to enjoy and understand.
