"Tell me you're good with numbers without telling me"
Every Engineer has an Eric Dale inside him that just gets stifled as he moves up the ladder.
he didn't have to become a banker he could have stayed in Engineering
So true
I think this point goes to show how he built something that has intrinsic value to society, whilst the 'products' the firm and other firms create don't add much value but sure does make them rich in the short term. Longevity vs short term thinking..
Yes but it's not true. Providing liquidity in the capital markets is crucial for the economy to work. And before you all start berating me about the evils of the system - only if you've never had a debit card, credit card, car loan, home loan or any other type of financial transaction that wasn't cold hard cash can you do so. Otherwise you're as addicted to this fast money as everyone else is. You want your big house and flashy car - well then you need bankers. If all you've dealt with is cash then you're probably a drug dealer anyway.
@@mithrandirthegrey7644 Of course there's still a need for bankers to provide convenience, and from convenience we are able to be more productive, so i wouldn't berate anything you're saying. It's more so a comparison of a physical product market, service based markets, basic essentials, and want to haves. Paul Bettany's character does mention people need them if they want nice things essentially and that's true. My comment on this scene is just being aware again on essentials that provide more objective value (infrastructure) to society vs hyper-focusing on exploiting a market that can manipulated for a small group or individual's benefit
@@alexsims8205 Sure, I understand what you were saying - and I agree that it is exactly what the scene is trying to convey. I was simply reacting against it as a typical just-so story. This is always how banking is depicted. Paul wouldn't be living in such a nice home without the system that he is criticizing.
@@mithrandirthegrey7644 Much as I'd love to disagree its true. Even I, who likes to think of himself as a financially sound sort of bloke, who "never takes possession of "stuff" until he's paid for it", still needs finance and a mortgage just to keep up with modern living, however Right On I like to think I am. That's capitalism.

Eric is a power of 10 off the final total.
Eric stated he once built a bridge over the Ohio river and it was used by 12,100 people (he probably meant cars) per day and it cutout 70 miles per day.
1. He said it saved a combined total of 847,000 miles per day.
(12,100 × 70)
2. And 25,410,000 miles per month.
(847,000 × 30)
3. And 304,920,000 per year.
(25,410,000 × 12)
4. And 6,708,240,000 miles saved over the 22 year lifetime of the bridge. (304,920,000 × 22)
5. At an average of 50 mph in 22 years it has meant 134,164,800 less hours of people spending time in traffic.
(6,708,240,000 miles ÷ 50mph)
6. And 5,590,200 days.**
(134,164,800 ÷ 24)
7. And 15,315 years.**
(5,590,200 ÷ 365)
**Is where this mistakes are made. He stated this as 559,020. Which shorted his final answer by a power of 10 as well.
i think he's wrong deliberately - as a note to how a key point of the film was him not being able to work the numbers on his risk model and peter finishing them after he was fired
@@SuperbFairy I think you’re right but for a different reason. I think it’s to demonstrate the difference in understanding
@@vhseshproductions2378 I think they put it in as an Easter egg because they knew someone would calculate his numbers and discover the error.
Not for nothin, dude just got fired, hadn't changed his clothes yet, was probably drunk, was definitely depressed, and his thinking of this bridge and all those numbers was more of him reminiscing his youth and the great things he did and was all on the fly. So yea, all things considered, he made a mistake.
I think putting the error over here would just make the things more true as it is a mind calculation. Yet he still demonstrate the confidence to take this math.
love stanley tucci
"two hundred and six billion....."
"five hundred and twenty nine thousand...."
"seventy two million and fifty five thousand...."
nice clip.
I've been on that bridge. It's OK.
rumour says there was someone behind camera holding the scrypt for him to read the numbers :D
and I don't blame him for that :D
Nothing unusual there at all, but an actor of Stanley Tucci's caliber will have those numbers burned into his head by the time he's in front of the camera.
The dumbest line (this is my all time favorite movie) is when Will says, "Some people like driving the long way home"......NOOOOOO WRONG. hehe. I mean unless you hate your spouse or something. 😂😂
He's pointing out how Eric Dale took a long time to go home after he was fired.
Measure a life in love.
"Enjoying driving the long way home" only works when you have the privilege to choose it.
They should have made his convertible stuck in the traffic and losing the meeting.
He's talking about Eric, they spent the night before searching for him because Eric took the long way home
@@fitrianhidayat good point
Some people like driving a long way home.. I am some people
Nobody asked
@@alexn4255 get well soon
@@vigneshiyer1882 great answer!

I crossed that bridge!
Eric would make out just fine. He would never to tainted by the sell off and could find work easily after all this happened. Its all the other people that are screwed.
I'm from Moundsville, WV and remember the bridge being built that he spoke of. He mispronounced Dilles Bottom, Ohio though. It is pronounced like Dill-ies Bottom.
6.7 billion undriven miles x 1.5 deaths/100 million miles driven = 100 lives saved.
Until that bridge collapses from neglect anyways....
That's good math...
lol hollywoods idea of an engineer. in their head he would memorize to the last decimal place when in reality as an engineer you need to get the bigger picture. you just need to be right at the scale like if it's 16milion or if its 600k or if its 6bilion. It would not be that an engineer would go and memorize one milion four hundred-thousand sixty-eight thousand three-hundred and five. He would just need to be in the ballpark area of that and say 1,4 milion.
audio is low or me

This is the great tragedy of fiat money. You don't make money by producing something of value. You make money by standing near the printing press.
and crypto is so much better now, lol
@@roc7880 Do you pay an electric bill? If you do then you understand that energy consumption cost money. Do you know how much energy is used to create 1 Bitcoin? Look it up and get back to me.
The audio quality is terrible.
Maybe the long way home had a better view,
Maybe the long way home was the only time some tired guy that left his office after 8 hours of work, managed to have peace and calm while driving and meditating tru that road,
Maybe it had mountains, water, and trees,
And was for some 50 yo guy a trip down memory lane tru his childhood and tru nostalgia, cuz he used to pass that road since he was a kid with his father.
....
Maybe and maybe.
You never know the other side of the story.
