Brad Pitt's new movie tells a tale too true about financial reform that made him say that "people can get hurt again."
According to bloomberg.com, "The Big Short" movie tells about the story of investors who predicted "the collapse of the housing market and made money short- selling it."
Brad said "The fact that no one was held accountable for this drives me crazy. There's something seriously wrong. You talk to the experts now and nothing's changed. The same practices are still going on."
During the movie's New York premiere, Brad said his "heart goes out to the people who lost their homes and jobs due to subprime mortgages and the financial collapse of 2008."
"Too many people got hurt. People can get hurt again," he added.
Director and co- screen writer Adam McKay found a way on how to let the viewers understand some of the jargon in an entertaining way. He made Margot Robbie explained the terms while in bubble bath, sipping champagne. Brad said McKay "made an entertaining film out of very dry material."
In a report by etonline.com, Brad will joined with other top actors such as Ryan Gosling, Steve Carell and Christian Bale. The four will be playing the roles of the investors who are able to predict the collapse of the housing market.
"The Big Short" movie is based on Michael Lewis' novel with the same title and the third book- turned- movie together, with "The Blind Side" and "Moneyball," among his writings.
Christian Bale plays the role of a self- made- man investor, Gosling is a Deutsche Bank trader while Carell is a hedge- fund manager.
In the story, Bale is the first among the four to foresee the impending housing market collapse.
The movie will hit the theaters nationwide on December 25.
