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.)

Margin Call quotes

  • 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.

  • Will Emerson: Jesus, Seth. Listen, if you really wanna do this with your life you have to believe you're necessary and you are. People wanna live like this in their cars and big fuckin' houses they can't even pay for, then you're necessary. The only reason that they all get to continue living like kings is cause we got our fingers on the scales in their favor. I take my hand off and then the whole world gets really fuckin' fair really fuckin' quickly and nobody actually wants that. They say they do but they don't. They want what we have to give them but they also wanna, you know, play innocent and pretend they have no idea where it came from. Well, thats more hypocrisy than I'm willing to swallow, so fuck em. Fuck normal people. You know, the funny thing is, tomorrow if all of this goes tits up they're gonna crucify us for being too reckless but if we're wrong, and everything gets back on track? Well then, the same people are gonna laugh till they piss their pants cause we're gonna all look like the biggest pussies God ever let through the door.

    Seth Bregman: Do you think we're gonna be wrong?

    Will Emerson: [long pause] No, they're all fucked.
