Great observation. The public is quickly losing interest in Wall Street and finance in general. The glory days are long gone. I predict most markets going flat within the decade triggered by apathy and the roboadvisor revolution
When I saw it, the audience was mostly male and looked like nothing but financial services people. I've never seen a movie where two men went together lol.
That's what I was suspecting...when I first heard about The Big Short. The public kind of has little/no interest in finance/wall st-themed movies. I kind of knew that if it just broke-even, that would be considered very lucky. I remember watching Wall Street 2 [2010] in the movie theater...I went on a Wednesday afternoon at 2pm...there were only three people inside of the theater, including me. -- and one of them left halfway through it. ...felt weird/creepy...watching a movie with just another guy in the theater.
You could say this about WW2 too, yet people care... And if they don't care they deserve to experience it again...
Utter moron. Because everything is box office return right? Why don't you go and see it THEN you can post in this thread... The people who I saw it with applauded at the end, what does that tell you? And congrats for comparing it to Star Wars... But here is people's opinion of the movie AFTER seeing it: https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/com...sion_the_big_short_spoilers/?ref=search_posts
Unless the public are made aware of the assholes that rip them off at eveyr turn they will continue to be the stream of dumb money. They will continue to be the turkeys who are treated with utter disdain by the banksters-this film and Wolf of Wall street should be compulsory viewing for anyone looking to make an 'investment' in the rotten stock market
I got a torrent, watched it yesterday very good funny aswell. Saw it coming years before aswell, used to discuss in 2004 with a mate how banks would fail, didn't expect the bail out.
