It’s actually because he’s deeply mentally ill so he has to remind himself what is happening repeatedly. That’s also why he says he cannot hear a thing. Usually there are voices (etc) but adrenaline makes them stop. He’s very similar to Jason Statham’s character in Crank and the director said he wanted this, to be a spiritual companion movie to Crank 2 “High Voltage” about Tuld’s metal illness being controlled by adrenaline (head) vs Statham (heart). In both movies they being chased by international gangsters metaophorcally or otherwise.
@@gemini7Sky That’s what perfection after years and years of classic stage acting looks like. Every sentence is on the spot, every gesture enriches the scene, every pause and sigh transports weight. To my opinion Jeremy Irons, Ian McKellen, Jack Nicholson and the late Richard Attenborough have been perfecting this particular art of screen presence like no one else. Throw them into literally any role and they will leave a lasting impression, that’s for sure.
As a 30+ yr veteran in the financial industry at the highest level, and having faced the 2008 crisis and the Lehman meltdown head on, I can tell everyone that this scene, this movie, magnificently portrayed the reality, angst, and intellect of the participants. Just an incredible depiction of reality.
That’s what’s known as a malaphor and I’ve heard it used as a power move - as in, they are in such a position of power compared to everyone else that they can butcher the English language and everyone else has to nod along and agree.
I am going to go nerd on you. First part “Don’t cry over spilt milk and second part “that’s water under the bridge”. My translation: They caught us and now we need to find a way out. During the actual financial crisis, There a reason why nobody of consequence got fired. They all got bonuses.
What is also interesting is that Tuld and John locked eyes a few times during Sullivan's explaination. Also shows that John has been around for awhile. Subtle moves which make this movie great.
The reason why the 1.2 Trillion was cut from the movie was because its too recognizable of a number. The firm in this movie is supposed to be a combination of Goldman Sachs and Lehmen Brothers. Goldman was the bank that first realized the problem and moved all their risks knowing they were trash, hence the Senate Hearing. And the corporate structure was based on Lehmen Brother. CEO Dick Fuld vs John Tuld. Erin Callan who was fired vs Sarah Robertson. Eric Dale vs Joe Gregory, who famously disappeared for 3 days after he was fired for fighting with Callahan. So anyways they didn't put in the 1.2 Trillion in my opinion because they don't want the audience automatically relate this firm to Lehman Brothers, since their total Salvagble asset at bankruptcy was $1.2 Trillion.
I wish this was Lehman, then I would still have my pension and stocks instead of sht. Erin Callan had a mental meltdown, dick fuld was an idiot sitting in his ivory tower at the end completely out of touch compared to the movie guy, none of the executives did anything or knew how to execute, and had their head in the sand just hoping the market will stabilize. It was a complete shtshow…this bank in the movie seemed way more competent than anything in reality. Even Goldman was a mess but they had way stronger risk management and got out, buffet’s injection didn’t hurt either.
This is the greatest ever Boardroom scene from any film. Absolutely gripping - the entire film, with superb performances from many actors both well-known and not so.
The look on the Executive Assistant’s face as she’s walking towards her chair accurately sets the tone for the meeting and what’s about to happen to the company and the financial world.
When Tuld walked into that room he already knew what the problem was and what they were going to do to cope with it. He was just going through a charade of having someone else spell it out and get everyone on board with the next step. What he said, “It wasn’t brains that got me where I am.”he really was saying “It wasn’t JUST brains that got me where I am”.
I would say its more accurate he knew the broad strokes. This was about confirmation. Only an idiot executes his kind of plan without double checking. This was not some expert move that made him money. This was an expert move that cost him a ton of money and burned many bridges. But... saved him a ton of money.
Later in discussion between sarah and eric dale it became clear that executives were aware of the problem and continued their business. They decided it was time to cash out only after junior analyst like peter was able to figure it out. So this was not the first time they hearing about this problem
@@user-kp8fl7ik4u Never thought of it that way, but makes perfect sense. If your junior analyst figured it out, it's only a matter of hours/days until the other big firms beat you to the liquidators.
I love that Irons makes himself seem stupid right off the bat. "Spilt milk under the bridge" is combining two idioms incorrectly. What a script, what a performance.
I think it’s intentional. He knows the idioms, but he’s mixing them to be humorous in a tense situation (very British), and also indicating that he’s powerful enough that he doesn’t care what people think.
"Speak as you might to a young child. Or a golden retriever". This phase stuck with me because thats how we speak with our CEO when we are preparing proposals and we run by him. And it's not that he doesn't understand the proposals, it is just that our reasoning behind something that we put in might be overly technichal and take a long time to clarify and we want to avoid it.
The infamous P&G 1 page memo started with the purpose of the memo eg what action you should take. The rest of the memo, in descending order of importance, provided the rationale. If more than 1 page, re-write it.
"Can you put this in just plain English with simple words that I can understand?" "I think I can, sir." "Well, let's hear it." "Okay, sir. In plain English, we're fu-ked!"
This is the ulitmate acting masterclass from Irons - absoutely incredible. From the second he walks in the door - before he says a word, you just know he is THE man..... 😊😊
As i am new into my management role i find it easier to focus on one person rather than speaking to a group of people. When he say "youre speaking to me" then i feel more relaxed than trying to speak to everyone else in that room.
The only person’s hand he shook and acknowledged when he walked in the room, was the first person to stand up when he entered. Simple respect. These little details make scenes like this so believable.
The smirk and dead eyes after delivering a line like it wasn’t brains that got me here is so fkn RAW 🦈 Sharks are scary muthafockers when they in your presence!
And they know no bounds to get what they want… he will be safe with whatever comes of the company. It’s the people under him that will be losing their heads. I am an accountant.. I was laid off last month with a pregnant wife.. baby is due in June.. she cannot work as she is a migrant and needs permission from the government. It’s a long process. It’s been two years… but the due date.. it’s fast approaching. I needed that job more than you will ever know. I am filling out applications so fast I fear I am applying to more companies than are in the are looking to hire. :( this video is pure business. Business isnt evil it’s not caring. There is a difference there. Tomorrow is a knew week. Oh by the way me and my wife are hoping for the housing collapse. Me especially since I’m the bread winner here.. but I told her the last time that happened people killed themselves. People WALKED away from their houses. Becuase they were paying the bank a note on an asset that was 70% (give or take) less than it was worth. I’m hoping for that again. But it will be dark times… and maybe we won’t be so lucky.. we already have had “the biggest fraud cases” in history.. but with minimal to no repercussions. Not like the Lehman brothers collapse.. can someone explain to me what was the difference between that and the FTX.. I know there were a few other ones but just can’t think of them.
Jeremy Irons is unbelievably great here. A terrifying shark. I don't know how he dredged up this animal apex predator / alpha executive / silky-smooth killer, but it's one of those performances that's just bang-on perfect. And scary AF.
He knew what was up. Spacey's character already let slip in the prior board meeting that he (and Tucci's character) already knew there was funny business going on that they brought to Moore's character, which she subsequently blocked. 3:35 - 3:46 is the inflection point for the whole film - where Moore's character is giving him a look as if to say, "Don't say it, don't say it..." and Baker's character has this sort of look that is like "Spill it!"
Honestly, this has to be (at least part of, I wish this video went on a few more minutes) one of the greatest scenes in movie history-"Speak to me like you would a child or a golden retriever. It wasnt brains that got me here, I can assure you that."
I like how the boss gives the other managers a side eye after saying "You're speaking to me Mr. Sullivan" Cause he knows his managers are giving Sullivan the look for giving an honest answer, So he wants them to stop intimidating him.
The fact that Mr Tuld knows he has to find someone he has the most authority over and force them to tell him the truth tells you he knows most of his executives level people are constantly lying to him. Which is why he is so ready to believe that the company is actually about to go bankrupt.
Yes, he doesn’t cheat but being first by being smart unfortunately as it’s always been look after number one, I am truly principled and with a lot of my life they actually perceive it as a weakness. Once you know that’s who you’re dealing with hit them hard hit them low, no mercy, no forgiveness and wish them hell and damnation.
Viewing journal, viewing #10,672. In this viewing I will simply be replaying the moment when Jeremy Irons says the word ‘here’ and draws out that last syllable in a velvet purr.
Look at Alpha Man's fury jacket. Sure, he is clean shaven at 2am. Look how he enters the room. Like a beast. He knew he was not qualified to handle this situation. Pure DC. Because the real men had fell on their swords 10 years earlier, when this kamikaze approach became SOP. And this 'smrt fella' is trying to correct the 90's.
Oh, man, I've been in similar situations before when my boss left me hanging in the breeze when the CEO asked me point blank why he was just finding out now why our budget projections were off so much. I gave him the honest answer to which my boss silently glared at me. She reamed me out afterwards in her office when the CEO walked by poked his head in and thanked me then asked me to take "another look at the numbers" and to personally get back to him in two days. The message being he could no longer trust my boss for direct answers in difficult meetings. And that pissed her off even more. LOL
The contrast between "Speak as you might to a young child. Or a golden retriever," and later "You're speaking with me, Mr. Sullivan," shows everyone in the room that he is in complete control of the meeting, regardless of the conversation.
Ah yes, classic movie clips without irritating overdubbed music at a volume so high you can't hear the actors nor annoying and irritatingly incorrect subtitles right in the middle of the screen. This is the before times. Cherish it.
While I agree this is a masterclass piece, most of us experience meetings similar to this on a daily basis so I wouldn’t call us “simpleton” but individuals who are empathetic to the scenario.
Well in this case it puts him in a position of authority. Literally above everyone else. What he's essentially saying is: "you understand the problem, we need to have it explained to us."

Hahaha exactly
Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!
@Justice No, just an incredibly obvious joke to make.
Then walk up to him and start scratching him under his chin. "who's a good boi..."
Fired, you're FIIIRREEDDD
“You are speaking with me Mr. Sullivan”… such raw power in that line… showing who’s the boss
Plus the epic side eye to the other two…
It is in a way showing support to Sullivan as well, like don’t worry about getting in trouble with those guys, fuck them.
It’s actually because he’s deeply mentally ill so he has to remind himself what is happening repeatedly. That’s also why he says he cannot hear a thing.

@@ifedhimspaghettii’m laughing so hard rn
I dont know how many times I watched this scene. Perfect, without any music.
As Mr. Tuld says what he hears is just silence.
Jeremy Irons has some strong screen presence thats for sure
@@gemini7Sky That’s what perfection after years and years of classic stage acting looks like. Every sentence is on the spot, every gesture enriches the scene, every pause and sigh transports weight.

😂 "Spilt milk under the bridge." Why do executives do this? I knew a CEO who would say "It's not rocket surgery" and "that train has sailed."
its not rocket scientry is what my boss used to say 20 years ago.
That’s what’s known as a malaphor and I’ve heard it used as a power move - as in, they are in such a position of power compared to everyone else that they can butcher the English language and everyone else has to nod along and agree.

Same reason nobody ever told mike tysin he talks funny. Who is going to correct him
Its best meeting scene ever in history of movies. Period.
John is the only person that is personally acknowledged (by name ) and gets a firm handshake from Tuld.. You know this chap has serious muscle..
Senior senior partner.
What is also interesting is that Tuld and John locked eyes a few times during Sullivan's explaination. Also shows that John has been around for awhile. Subtle moves which make this movie great.
He's also the first person to stand up when Tuld enters the room.

I think I saw this already a few times this year. It always hits the same, excellent acting.
that one look to the risk department at 3:46 no words needed when you are a true boss
He knew what was up. Spacey's character already let slip in the prior board meeting that he (and Tucci's character) already knew there was funny business going on that they brought to Moore's character, which she subsequently blocked.

One of my favorite scenes in the movie.
Honestly, this has to be (at least part of, I wish this video went on a few more minutes) one of the greatest scenes in movie history-"Speak to me like you would a child or a golden retriever. It wasnt brains that got me here, I can assure you that."
The two scenes with Jeremy Irons in are electric, the end scene in the restaurant is epic.
What a fantastic cast this is.
Watch this twice a week. Amazing 😍
I've watched this movie repeatedly in 4 minute segments on CZcams.
The cast is incredible.
This scene is absolutely, 100% brilliant.
totally agree. Jeremy Irons is mesmerizing.
Just git fine watching this movie last week. Pleasant surprise. Great acting and movie!
One of the most thrilling scenes in movie history.
Great acting, amazing cast and great story and adaptation.
Brilliant dialogue. Great movie.
Everytime I saw Jeremy Iron it reminded me how the academy award robbed him his oscar in dead ringer!
This is one of my favorite scenes in all of film
What a cast! Brilliant acting in every scene
-Now,i dont cheat!
-Litteraly cheats millions of people next day 🤣🤣
‘But that is spilt milk under the bridge.’ Love it.

So much truth here. I find myself raising a bourbon glass to this masterpiece far too often.
Split milk under the bridge. lol
I love this movie and this is a great scene. Jeremy Irons is wonderful in it
At least in 1929 they had the decency to jump out the nearest window when they learned what they’d done.
Jeremy Irons gives such a commanding performance as Tuld, the chief puppeteer of the organization.
I worked for the company (on a contract) that was putting those MBS's together. What the guy says is actually true.
Scene addiction. Just got my fix which should get me through the next 24 hours until the unavoidable temptation and need returns.
great movie... best of the 2008 crash movies (big short, too big to fail) being the others.
Great movie!
Tremendous movie, saw it the other day in lieu of our beloved mmtlp
Love the term financial INDUSTRY😁
I like how the boss gives the other managers a side eye after saying "You're speaking to me Mr. Sullivan"
Cause he knows his managers are giving Sullivan the look for giving an honest answer, So he wants them to stop intimidating him.
I have the DVD. One of my more enjoyed recordings. Shades of Poor Richard, don't you think?
The fact that Mr Tuld knows he has to find someone he has the most authority over and force them to tell him the truth tells you he knows most of his executives level people are constantly lying to him. Which is why he is so ready to believe that the company is actually about to go bankrupt.

This is a masterclass in how to write a complicated subject for a simpleton audience.
While I agree this is a masterclass piece, most of us experience meetings similar to this on a daily basis so I wouldn’t call us “simpleton” but individuals who are empathetic to the scenario.
I has actually been in a situation recently when a boss said "please explain this to me as if i was a four year old"
This is so f'ing realistic!!
Ozymandias was playing them. It's all going according to his plan.

Well in this case it puts him in a position of authority. Literally above everyone else.
What he's essentially saying is: "you understand the problem, we need to have it explained to us."
@@elonwhateverand even better: everyone, especially Tuld, knew exactly what was in the report. Tuld just needed to rub it in with the rest of his team
