      Margin Call--The Contest Between Money and Human Nature

      I remember that in "The Richest Man in Xihong City," the heroine's boyfriend, "Wang Leehom," in Xihong City, is an elegant literati. And in front of the upstart who got rich overnight, played by Shen Teng, he can instantly make this elegant scholar bow his head and bow down. Talking about money doesn't hurt feelings. Since childhood, we were taught to be cautious about money, and we...

      Movies that have been watched several times

      This movie can really be considered a thriller, a silent thriller, a real thriller.

      A lot of people say it reflects the shameless greed of financial practitioners, but as a common man, a non-financial practitioner, I did not feel this. The movie clearly stated that the global 8 trillion assets are based on a wrong model. , and the world's financial markets are about to collapse due to this. This financial institution discovered it first and got rid of these assets before the collapse...

      Win-win and overdraft

      "People seem to care more about the numbers on the stock market screen than what the company actually makes. The U.S. economy will pay a heavy price for this in many years." - "Barbarians at the Door" In fact, stocks do not It is not impossible to bring about a win-win situation. If the stock market can be used, people's idle funds can be used to improve the utilization rate. And through the stock market to rationalize the distribution ratio of the entire capital, it is also possible to...

      cool wall street

      The story is quite simple, that is, now investment banks (similar financial institutions, whatever) find that their assets are actually a pile of shit. As long as other smart people see through it, the investment bank will boom. So the classic saying of the big boss of the investment bank worked, "be fast, be smarter or cheat", coaxing buyers to clear their positions within a morning.

      cool wall street

      Businessmen, in essence, still seek profit for themselves, and this...

      The first half of the cast is strong, and the first half is relatively good, but unfortunately the rhythm of the second half of the director's limited ability can not keep up with the performance of the actors = = Everyone's interplay between each other is pushing the plot...

      It is another film that exposes the greed and shameless nature of the US imperialist financial capitalists. There is nothing newer, but it is a little bit smarter than Wall Street, thanks to the solid script and the excellent interpretation of the characters by familiar...

    Movie plot

    The story of the film takes place on Wall Street in New York, when the economic crisis broke out in 2008. More precisely, the story took place inside an investment bank, 24 hours before they were about to declare bankruptcy. After reviewing all the information, the young analyst Pete Sullivan suddenly realized that the company's asset evaluation had huge loopholes. In other words, a wrong, or well-planned business decision made the...

    Movie quotes

    • Seth Bregman: Will, did you really make two and a half million last year?

      Will Emerson: Yeah, sure.

      Seth Bregman: How did you spend it all?

      Will Emerson: It goes quite quickly. You know, you learn to spend what's in your pocket.

      Peter Sullivan: Two and a half million goes quickly?

      Will Emerson: All right, let's see. So the taxman takes half up front, so you're left with one and a quarter. My mortgage takes another 300 grand. I send 150 home for my parents, you know, keep 'em going. So what's that?

      Peter Sullivan: 800?

      Peter Sullivan: All right, 800. Spent 150 on a car. About 75 on restaurants. Probably 50 on clothes. I put 400 away for a rainy day.

      Seth Bregman: That's smart.

      Will Emerson: Yeah, as it turns out, 'cause it looks like the storm's coming.

      Peter Sullivan: You still got 125.

      Will Emerson: Yeah, well I did spend 76,520 dollars on hookers, booze and dancers. But mainly hookers.

      Peter Sullivan: 76,5?

      Will Emerson: I was a little shocked initially, but then I realized I could claim most of it back as entertainment. It's true!

    • Peter Sullivan: You tired?

      Sam Rogers: Of what? Remember, I don't work as hard as you.

      Peter Sullivan: That's not true.

      Sam Rogers: No, it is, actually.

    • John Tuld: So you think we might have put a few people out of business today. That its all for naught. You've been doing that everyday for almost forty years Sam. And if this is all for naught then so is everything out there. Its just money; its made up. Pieces of paper with pictures on it so we don't have to kill each other just to get something to eat. It's not wrong. And it's certainly no different today than its ever been. 1637, 1797, 1819, 37, 57, 84, 1901, 07, 29, 1937, 1974, 1987-Jesus, didn't that fuck up me up good-92, 97, 2000 and whatever we want to call this. It's all just the same thing over and over; we can't help ourselves. And you and I can't control it, or stop it, or even slow it. Or even ever-so-slightly alter it. We just react. And we make a lot money if we get it right. And we get left by the side of the side of the road if we get it wrong. And there have always been and there always will be the same percentage of winners and losers. Happy foxes and sad sacks. Fat cats and starving dogs in this world. Yeah, there may be more of us today than there's ever been. But the percentages-they stay exactly the same.
