      Sort out the finance-related parts of the movie

      It was recommended by Mr. Chen Ping, so I read it.

      1. The movie has a good name, "Other People's Money"

      2. The beginning of the movie is very good, and it brings you in at once.

      3. The story after that is quite inconsistent with the title of the movie.

      4. The whole story is that when a Wall Street financial tycoon was researching a listed company, he saw an opportunity to make money and wanted to make a wave of quick money, but it would affect the company itself,...

      two memorable speeches

      The two speeches at the general meeting of shareholders in the film are the soul of the film. They are from the current chairman of the board of directors and Garfield, the "barbarian at the door." They represent two ideas. I believe Garfield's speeches have conquered the shareholders.

      Andrew Jorgensen's (Gregory Peck) scathing address to the stockholders of New England Wire & Cable Co. denounced corporate raider Lawrence (aka Larry the Liquidator) Garfield (Danny De...

      worth seeing

      Watching this movie because Harvard listed it as one of the 20 must-see movies in the business category.
      I think this film not only reflects how capitalists or speculators make money in a special era, but also the blood and cruelty behind it. I think it also reflects the human nature behind it.
      The so-called, seemingly bad people also have emotions; the so-called, good people, even if they have been a good person for 60 years, can not resist the temptation of money; the so-called,...

      "The Liquidator"

      "The Liquidator"

      is a movie that can be used as a textbook. Of course, it is necessary to abandon the affections of father and daughter, mother and daughter, and men and women!
      Described as a Wall Street asset liquidation master Mr. Garfield (Garfield? Funny), is a scumbag, seems to show the attitude of some directors!
      And those middle-class people who run family businesses are of normal height, but they often indulge in the glory of the past years, and even imagine the...

      I was introduced to watch this film by the teacher in the MC class, but I just like to watch this kind of strange love, what can I do! XDDD A serious and decadent handsome old man and a humorous and sunny bad dwarf, in terms of attractiveness, girls have always voted for the...

      This one has Gregory Pike? I didn't realize it, this film is hard to find, I can't even find Chinese subtitles, but the contrived comedy at the beginning is really not suitable for today's...

    Movie quotes

    • Lawrence Garfield: I love money more than the things it can buy... but what I love more than money is other people's money.

    • Lawrence Garfield: I love money. I love money more than the things it can buy. There's only one thing I love more than money. You know what that is? OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY.

    • Andrew Jorgenson: I want you to look at him in all of his glory: "Larry the Liquidator." The entrepreneur of post-industrial America, playing God with other people's money. The robber barons of old at least left something tangible in their wake- a coal mine, a railroad, banks. This man leaves nothing. He creates nothing. He builds nothing. He runs nothing. And in his wake lies nothing but a blizzard of paper to cover the pain. Oh, if he said, "I know how to run your business better than you," that would be something worth talking about. But he's not saying that. He's saying, "I'm gonna kill you because at this particular moment in time, you're worth more dead than alive." Well, maybe that's true, but it is also true that one day this industry will turn. One day when the yen is weaker, the dollar is stronger, or when we finally begin to rebuild our roads, our bridges, the infrastructure of our country, demand will skyrocket. And when those things happen, we will still be here, stronger because of our ordeal, stronger because we have survived. And the price of our stock will make his offer pale by comparison. God save us if we vote to take his paltry few dollars and run. God save this country if that is truly the wave of the future. We will then have become a nation that makes nothing but hamburgers, creates nothing but lawyers, and sells nothing but tax shelters. And if we are at that point in this country, where we kill something because at the moment it's worth more dead than alive, well, take a look around. Look at your neighbor. Look at your neighbor. You won't kill him, will you? No. It's called murder, and it's illegal. Well, this, too, is murder, on a mass scale. Only on Wall Street, they call it maximizing shareholder value, and they call it legal. And they substitute dollar bills where a conscience should be. Damn it! A business is worth more than the price of its stock. It's the place where we earn our living, where we meet our friends, dream our dreams. It is, in every sense, the very fabric that binds our society together. So let us now, at this meeting, say to every Garfield in the land, here, we build things, we don't destroy them. Here, we care about more than the price of our stock. Here, we care about people. Thank you.
