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.

      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

    • John Tuld: So, what you're telling me, is that the music is about to stop, and we're going to be left holding the biggest bag of odorous excrement ever assembled in the history of capitalism.

      Peter Sullivan: Sir, I not sure that I would put it that way, but let me clarify using your analogy. What this model shows is the music, so to speak, just slowing. If the music were to stop, as you put it, then this model wouldn't even be close to that scenario. It would be considerably worse.

      John Tuld: Let me tell you something, Mr. Sullivan. Do you care to know why I'm in this chair with you all? I mean, why I earn the big bucks.

      Peter Sullivan: Yes.

      John Tuld: I'm here for one reason and one reason alone. I'm here to guess what the music might do a week, a month, a year from now. That's it. Nothing more. And standing here tonight, I'm afraid that I don't hear - a - thing. Just... silence.

    • Jared Cohen: Sometimes in an acute situation such as this, often, what is right can take on multiple interpretations.

    • Will Emerson: Well, you're a better man than me.

      Eric Dale: That's always been true.
