This movie is too naked. It didn't plan to tell you how a company's crisis was formed, how it was resolved, what the rationale was, and how much money was lost.
In the film, everyone is discussing salaries and incomes with each other, and showing a lot of numbers with the mouths of employees: how much the company earned last year, how many tens of thousands in layoffs and severance pay, how many benefits, how much you can earn for one hour without pay 10,000, transferring the risk can give you how many million in dividends; and there are not a few financial terms in the whole film. From top to bottom, no one in the whole company understands statistical models, default rates, and the risks of this series of mortgage asset sales. "Just tell me if we are going to lose money, and how much." There are some well-earned practitioners, including former trench diggers, bridge designers, and MIT graduate rocket engineers. To do this kind of work, you only need to be strong, be able to input data into the computer, have strong sales ability, and be knowledgeable about office politics. Millions of dollars a year, even after ten, twenty, thirty years of earning, I am still short of money. Is it rather ironic?
The last paragraph of the company boss said: For 400 years, the crisis in this industry has come like this. There are always people who make a lot of money, and there are always people who lose money. Even the proportion of these people remains unchanged. If you don't make this money, some people will make it, so why not do it? Do you think you can change the industry if you stick to the bottom line, you can't.
As ElonMask said, graduates from top universities (smart brains?) are now working in the financial industry. It is so easy to make money! And no one is engaged in innovation in technology and manufacturing. They are all sophisticated egoists. Who else is driving society and human progress?
PS: Just after reading other comments, I realized that Zachary Quinto is really out of the closet. I've noticed this shocking appearance in sci-fi films before, but it's a pity not to be gay, but today's make-up temperament in this film is confirmed. Although it is not the actor who decides the shape, but I sincerely hope that it will not become a world where men are all thin eyebrows in the future.
