Anyone else watch Margin Call today?

Yeah yesterday, humanity really is a hive mind, the ending was depressing though.

So many quotable moments though. Kevin Spacey and Jeremy Irons are great actors imo.

it's NOT boring, what'd you expect sex scenes and shootouts?

[Anonymous No.54104059]

Nope. But I suggest viewing The Langoliers the campy 80's Stephen King made for TV movie.

[Anonymous No.54104125]

I can't believe Spacey was a pedo rapist.

[Anonymous No.54104330]

No, after exhausting Margin Call for good lines I decided to watch Reversal of Fortune and found this gem.

[Anonymous No.54104703]

It's a good movie, but not good enough to watch more than once per year. Solid 7/10.

I watched it last summer anticipating a crash

[Anonymous No.54105035]

>>54103933
I would have thought it only works dramatically if you watch it in its entirety. Each next stage of management reacting to crisis builds the level of tension. You can't get that if you watch the scenes in isolation.

[Anonymous No.54105122]

>>54105035
Get what you mean, though I personally thought it fell flat on that part. Might need to rewatch it to confirm, its been years since I saw it

watch it two nights ago and watched the big short last night both very good movies

Of course. One of the greatest films ever made and a great midwit filter.

It’s the exact opposite for me. Makes me think they’re trying to influence the masses to trade a certain way to then crush the plebs. When I see Margin Call related footage in my feed, I know that it’s time to buy. I bought a few calls today.

I watched margin call and the big short today.

any notice how very similar the jr partner meeting and senior partner meetings are? Its in the Jr meeting that Jared Cohen asked Sam Rodgers about dumping all the risk that day. Jared was the smart one he had it figured out immediately. Watch the jr meeting then senior meeting back to back the two meetings are very similar.

>>54103837
you are 100% right but getting crucified
90% of the movie is the same meeting with the analyst giving the same explanation to a higher up boss who has the same response: "oh better call in ______" rinse and repeat. There is no plot and the movie feels more like a collection of scenes instead of a film.
This board loves the movie because it is supposed to be some dark, realistic inside look into wall st and there are a few scathing monologues about plebs and normies. There is not even a margin call in the movie I have no idea why they named it that.

[Anonymous No.54106964]

It needed better special effects, the explosions weren't convincing.

>There is not even a margin call in the movie I have no idea why they named it that.
There is. The analyst discovers that the assets they are holding actually have negative value greater than their market cap.
So they were margin called, except that nobody noticed. That's the point of the movie.
Hence the Indian guy in the first meeting says that it's a matter of time before the competition runs the numbers and notices (that they are insolvent).
This is the reason for the panic dump, and why the CEO (Jeremy Irons) says
> We are selling to willing buyers at the current fair market price, so that we may survive.
Also this is why he has no problem when Sam (Kevin Spacey) points out
> You will never sell anything to any of these people ever again
Because the CEO realizes that whoever holds this shit will go belly up.
So he decides to sell this shit to his competitors, he clears his books and they go belly up instead of him.
Two wins with one stone or something like that.

I stopped watching it halfway in the past. It's really fucking boring. The Big Short is better.

[Anonymous No.54107547]

This isn't the first thread about Margin Call "today". Is it some American TV algorithm? They released it on their streaming service?

[Anonymous No.54107572]

>>54107547
financially illiterate people are now realizing that yes, banks can fall and that affects them in a way that they don't understand fully, hence they seek explications in youtube shorts format and the algorithm give them short clips of flicks that are related like Margin call or the Big short.

I have a finance degree and watched this movie when it first came out and I was trying to get the job Zachary Quinto has. It felt really validating to see this movie and how it's a good depiction of Wall Street and how it works.

It and Wall Street 2 got me all pumped to work in investment banking... but I never made it.

It's what happen in real life with hierarchies.

>There is no plot
The entire plot is about what to do with the crap they hold so the bank doesn't go belly up and who will take the fall for it.

>There is not even a margin call in the movie
Brainlet, that's what they're trying to avoid through the entire movie.

he's right, Margin Call is boring. Same goes for Boiler Room. Neither movie holds a candle to Wall Street, Wolf of Wall Street, or The Big Short. Even Barbarians at the Gate and Trading Places were substantially better.

>Kevin Spacey and Jeremy Irons
In retrospect KS wasn't this great act at all, every role he's been in was tailor cutted to make him the cool guy, in house of cards he forced his hand doing horrible and ambiguous stuff forcing the public to still root for him, artistically speaking.
In the famous scene with Jeremy Irons of the music slowing down I'm under the impression his smirk while challenging Tuld was him improvising to still retain some sort of moral high ground for the public, while in fact he only cared about his stupid dog, the movie would greatly improve if all those scenes were cut out.
Paul Bettany gave in fact the best delivery in the whole movie, the fuck normal people speech was about the moral of the story, also him dumping assets at the phone during the fire sale was brilliant.
As per Kevin Spacey, a more honest performance in a movie still related to such topic was in Glengarry Glen Ross.
