A workplace commercial film worth watching many times, it is expected to have new feelings at each stage

I think this film is not only a commercial film in the context of the financial crisis, but also implicitly expresses office politics and workplace black science. I am looking forward to the elites in the workplace to analyze the undercurrent of eye contact, the hidden body language, and the unfinished speech communication. I come to study and learn, some I understand, and some feel profound but not understand. At the beginning of the film, Sam is distressed that his dog is seriously ill. After a day of changes and games, he settled the matter. He sent his dog away by himself in front of the hospital bed, and dug a grave on the lawn in front of his ex-wife's mansion for burial. After hearing the movement, the ex-wife came out to comfort a few words, and then said that you can't stay here for a long time. At the end of the film, the sound of the shovel digging a hole strikes the heart again and again. He was so rich and alone. ?? But the happiness of the rich is unimaginable for the poor. ?? When the big boss talked to Sam, he said that Sam was the luckiest person in the world, otherwise he would have been digging trenches all these years (Sam was the engineer who built the bridge). Sam replied that if I dug the trench, at least there would still be a few holes in the ground. On the one hand, it alludes to the fact that finance is "nothing". On the other hand, at the end of the film, he digs a hole to bury his beloved dog. This kind of physical hole will also make Sam feel lost.

The big boss said that there are three ways to make a living in this industry: move fast, have a high IQ, and be able to deceive people. I don’t want to deceive people. Although I believe there are many smart people in this building, the easiest way to win is to move fast. Then he asked his subordinates to throw the thunder to others as quickly as possible. After all, "there is output only if you survive" (using a game analogy).

In a crisis, passing the risk to others and seizing the opportunity to get out of trouble may not be the last laugh, but certainly not the first to die. However, it is difficult to say whether there will be friends in the future, but who knows whether these "friends" will survive.

all smart people

The first long review belongs to "MARGIN CALL", which may make people think a lot late at night. Migrant workers, migrant souls, and migrant workers are all subordinates, and the boss can fire anyone. There are no laborers who are innocent, only bosses who are greedy for profit. (Only for this film, not all workers and bosses were shot.)

    A sleepless night before the financial tsunami is better than half a lifetime of wanderlust from the Wolf of Wall Street.

Margin Call quotes

  • Will Emerson: You know, the feeling that people experience when they stand on the edge like this isn't the fear of falling - it's the fear that they might jump

  • Sam Rogers: Thank you all for coming in a little early this morning. I know yesterday was pretty bad and I wish I could say that today is gonna be less so, but that isn't gonna be the case. Now I'm supposed to read this statement to you all here, but why don't you just read it on your own time and I'll just tell you what the fuck is going on here. I've been here all night... meeting with the Executive Committee. And the decision has been made to unwind a considerable position of the firm's holdings in several key asset classes. The crux of it is... in the firms thinking, the party's over as of this morning. There's gonna be considerable turmoil in the Markets for the foreseeable future. And *they* believe it is better that this turmoil begin with us. As a result, the firm has decided to liquidate its majority position of fixed income MBS... today. These are your packets, you will see what accounts you're responsible for, today. I'm sure it hasn't taken you long to understand the implications of this sale, on your relationships with your counter parties and as a result... on your careers. I have expressed this reality to the Executive Committee, and they understand. As a result, if you achieve a 93% sale of your assets, you will receive a 1.4 million dollar one-off bonus. If the floor as a whole achieves a 93% sale, you will get an additional 1.3 million dollars apiece. For those of you who've never been through this before, this is what the beginning of a fire sale looks like. I cannot begin to tell you how important the first hour and half is gonna be. I want you to hit every bite you can find: dealers, brokers, clients, your *mother* if she's buying. And... no swaps, it's outgoing only, today. Obviously this is not going down the way that any of us would have hoped, but... the ground is shifting below our feet, and apparently, there's no other way out.
