The film follows three separate, intertwining stories of investors who realized the housing market—specifically the subprime mortgage market—was a bubble ready to implode.

The third narrative thread involves Jared Vennett (based on Greg Lippmann and played by Ryan Gosling), a Deutsche Bank trader who acts as the narrator and facilitator. He bridges the gap between Burry’s discovery and the other investors. Gosling’s slick, fourth-wall-breaking performance provides the film with its cynical, comedic backbone. the.big.short.2015
