Why do all the film critics say that Kevin’s role Sam is the only person with a conscience standing in the interests of the company? too young too simple, okay?

Clue 1: When the company started to fire employees in large numbers, old colleagues and subordinates filed out, and he was crying for his dog.

Clue 2: When the two senior men and women were tortured, he resolutely left the improper first witness, did not stand in line, and expressed no interest in the truth about the dog biting the dog.

Clue 3: When I was on the board of directors, I had been outside the door for a long time. I had already thought about the countermeasures and positions, and I was always cunning.

Clue 4: The board of directors took the princes (the next batch of traders who want to clear the product) to make the emperor (the big boss), the company's upcoming battle depends on him to lead the war. This is his key bargaining chip, but every word It is benevolence, righteousness, and morality. Several times, he directly attacked the big boss, let the big boss not come to the stage in front of the board of directors, and be a bitch.

Clue 5: As the big boss of human spirits, he gave him a number that he would be satisfied with, but he still took the money to perform to the end "I'm still on the side of the company" and walked out proudly. The big boss was sick and angry. Hit the wall.

Clue 6: After successfully completing the task, I heard that my subordinates were dismissed on the same day, and I heard that the CEO smiled stabbedly saying that you are going to be left behind. Guaranteed number, there may be back-to-back)

Clue 7: Going with the big boss with fangs, the big boss watched him quietly, retaliated against his previous bargaining and was satisfied, and finally handed in the bottom: the money will be given to you, and you will keep it for two years to prepare for the trouble. He was finally relieved, and finally returned to himself: I am not staying to agree with your values, I am for the money. (Please, everyone can see that you are the most hypocritical, you don't need to act cynical, okay, dear) The big boss can continue to eat, and he is also strong.

Clue 8: Burying the dog at the ex-wife's side at night: a, immediately stop the dog's treatment to stop the loss if there is a loss; b, spying on his son with his ex-wife, after all, he even pitted his son and sold his son's junk products; c, There seems to be a suspicion of cheating, but the ex-wife sees through the irony. It can be seen how bad this person's character is, and it feels like his wife is scattered.

Summary: Sam is the most successful person in this movie who has the deepest clues. In terms of seniority in the company, he can sit on an equal footing with the big boss, but he has been only sitting at the top of the MD level. It shows that he first values ​​utilitarian profits and is on the front line of making money. Second, he has been crushed by the big boss’ direct subordinate CEO + bed partner's risk control in the political struggle, but he has strong soldiers in his hands and has been able to remain undefeated. In addition, the capital market needs such people who can drive the front lines to do dirty work. This kind of person is the most cunning person.

Add up all the wickedness of everyone in the company and they will lose out to this person.

    The simple cut is probably just to conceal technical deficiencies, but it is commendable to create a unique style (pure accident). Of course, what’s wonderful about this film is the plot and the rhythm of the performance itself. There is no need for scenes and scheduling at all, and the tension within has never disappeared.

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.
