What makes this movie work the most is the writing and directing from Adam McKay. This movie manages to be really funny, whilst also being really serious and balances the two greatly. They manage to come up with creative ways of explaining the complicated parts to the audience, but it never feels like has been dumbed down or simplified. Tells a fascinating story and is infinitely rewatchable.
Ben Rickert: If we're right, people lose homes. People lose jobs. People lose retirement savings, people lose pensions. You know what I hate about fucking banking? It reduces people to numbers. Here's a number - every 1% unemployment goes up, 40,000 people die, did you know that?
Question: When we first see Michael Burry at his desk, practicing drumming, he is wearing a T-shirt with what looks like a complicated mathematical formula on it. Can anyone identify this?
