Much like Bale’s depiction, the real Michael Burry was known for walking around his office shoeless, listening to speed metal, and wearing crummy T-shirts for weeks at a time. Michael Burry (Christian Bale) is the sole character in the film whose name wasn’t changed from its real-life counterpart. Despite citing a nonfiction work of economic examination as its source and basing its characters on real-life people, the movie changed most of the names of its subjects while maintaining the accurate spirits of its characters. Drawn from Michael Lewis’ best-selling book of the same name, the film is a punchy, humorous and sobering assault on the corporate Wall Street greed that led to the downfall of the housing market almost a decade ago. The Big Short(2015) is based on a book but isn’t completely nonfiction.
