As a package, it is composed of bets upon bets upon bets. Nor is it a solid investment, not in these distractible, budget-minded, please-everyone times.

Michael burry the big short movie#
Like the collection of derivatives Carell had finished sketching, The Big Short: The Movieis a very weird product - for starters, it’s a comedy about deadly serious things and a leftish movie lionizing hedge-funders. This was just as well for the actors, to whom the language of high finance wasn’t coming easily. Even though it was a sweltering day in New Orleans, he was wearing a long-sleeved shirt and jeans, as the casino was roughly the temperature of a meat locker, the better to keep gamblers awake. McKay, who resembles a taller, shamblier version of Waldo, as in Where’s, was seated in a red leather banquette behind the monitor, holding a megaphone that he would occasionally lift to offer direction in his laid-back California drawl. “Any chance I have to illustrate this stuff, I take advantage of it.”

Though that wasn’t why McKay wanted the shot. Set designers hadn’t gone so far as to re-create the restaurant’s 90-foot waterfall, but they’d done their best to conjure the atmosphere, with a toqued chef at a sizzling hibachi and authentic details like the cocktail napkins. For budget reasons, and because Okada had closed not long after the market crash, the scene was being shot at another casino, Harrah’s, in New Orleans. Nearly ten years later, the scene between two once-obscure money managers was being reenacted, this time on film.
