剧情介绍
2008年全球金融危机，华尔街几位眼光独到的投资鬼才在2007年美国信贷风暴前就看穿了泡沫假象，通过做空次贷CDS而大幅获益，成为少数在金融灾难中大量获利的投资枭雄。贾瑞德·韦内特（瑞恩·高斯林饰）将一个能把40亿美元单子做成37亿美元收入的德银代理人，迈克尔·布瑞（克里斯蒂安·贝尔饰）是独眼基金管理人，马克·鲍姆（史蒂夫·卡瑞尔饰）是华尔街世家出身，本·霍克特（布拉德·皮特饰）是康沃尔资本退休银行家。
Three separate but parallel stories of the U.S mortgage housing crisis of 2005 are told. Michael Burry, an eccentric ex-physician turned one-eyed Scion Capital hedge fund manager, has traded traditional office attire for shorts, bare feet and a Supercuts haircut. He believes that the US housing market is built on a bubble that will burst within the next few years. Autonomy within the company allows Burry to do largely as he pleases, so Burry proceeds to bet against the housing market with the banks, who are more than happy to accept his proposal for something that has never happened in American history. The banks believe that Burry is a crackpot and therefore are confident in that they will win the deal. Jared Vennett with Deutschebank gets wind of what Burry is doing and, as an investor believes he too can cash in on Burry's beliefs. An errant telephone call to FrontPoint Partners gets this information into the hands of Mark Baum, an idealist who is fed up with the corruption in the financial industry. Baum and his associates, who work at an arms length under Morgan Stanley, decide to join forces with Vennett despite not totally trusting him. In addition to Burry's information, they further believe that most of the mortgages are overrated by the bond agencies, with the banks collating all the sub-prime mortgages under AAA packages. Charlie Geller and Jamie Shipley, who are minor players in a $30 million start-up garage company called Brownfield, get a hold of Vennett's prospectus on the matter. Wanting in on the action but not having the official clout to play, they decide to call an old "friend", retired investment banker Ben Rickert, to help out. All three of these groups work on the premise that the banks are stupid and don't know what's going on, while for them to win, the general economy has to lose, which means the suffering of the general investor who trusts the financial institutions. That latter aspect may not sit well with Baum. Some of these assumptions may be incorrect and may be far more manipulative than they could have ever imagined, which in turn may throw curves into the process.
这是恐怖片吧
看的我头晕脑胀的，看得出来很认真的想讲明白金融风暴是怎么一回事，奈何拍电影和讲经济是两回事，整个电影就一直像提出一个公式，然后一直为人们演示这个公式的求证过程。想看经济的可以来看看，想看电影的就不推荐了，不能提供什么电影方面的价值。非常沉闷无聊，这种题材离人们生活太遥远了，也就题材噱头讨巧
看这片还得有金融基础
合成CDOs就是无限制加杠杆，其实creditdefualt swaps也加快了崩盘的速度吧！
娱乐至死，学习至呆。又是一个新五一，不知道是不是一个新的自己。
以为会是晦涩难懂的金融知识类型的传记片，看完反而被穿插着插科打诨般的讲解戳到笑点，通俗易懂。三个做空案例以小见大（个人觉得要是有失败的案例可能会更好），戳穿了华尔街资本的利欲熏心，而且资本永远是逐利的，不会长记性，背锅的永远是中低层的普通民众。
对我而言是不明觉厉的…经济世界的翻云覆雨，但总是会有这么一小小部分的人得到那一小小部分的概率，世界上的一切就好像都是在这样运行的，不然就运营不下去。
谢谢美女们的解读~~
本科时和MS一起看的，了解金融第一片哈哈
金融不创造价值，它只是价值的搬运工。多年前看过一次，当时根本没看懂，只有当过多年散户之后才依稀有点明白故事的原委。电影的手法，节奏，讲述方式让人目不暇接，特别出彩。
而且藏在这种搞笑表面下的，是深深的悲哀，是普通人买单一切、恶人消失无踪的悲哀
人类从历史中学到的唯一教训，就是永远学不会教训。
年度最佳喜剧／恐怖片当之无愧。感谢原作 Michael Lewis 及众卡司让 Adam McKay 拍出这么一部惊世之作。
