Multiple other businessmen catch wind of Burry's plan, and decide to pursue similar financial ventures.

Burry creates a 'credit default swap market', much to the dismay of many of his investors. The story begins in 2005, when Michael Burry (Bale), a socially awkward hedge fund manager, predicts the upcoming financial crisis (due to the unstable housing market) and decides to bet against it. I found it to be a very insightful, and highly entertaining, movie. Along with it being impressively critically rated, the film is also expected to be nominated for multiple Academy Awards (including Best Picture). The movie stars Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, John Magaro, Finn Wittrock, Jeremy Strong, Hamish Linklater, Rafe Spall and Brad Pitt.

The film was directed by Adam McKay (who's helmed such other comedy classics as 'ANCHORMAN', 'STEP BROTHERS' and 'THE OTHER GUYS'), and it was written by McKay and Charles Randolph.

'THE BIG SHORT': Four and a Half Stars (Out of Five) Critically acclaimed comedy-drama flick about the financial crisis, of 2007 to 2010, and the clever businessmen who were able to profit from it.
