      The point of telling the bridge story was to say “I used to contribute something meaningful.”
      Paul Bethany’s character is saying “Are you sure bridges matter? (Some people like taking the long way home.)”
      In a way he’s saying “Your money matters more than any of your other principles.” It was a true salesmanship to compliment his home just before delivering this line, to point out the tangibility of Money.
      The comment seems to have convinced Tucci to abandon his pride/principles and take the money, as before the comment he was saying “F them” and after this scene we see he took the money.

    • @A3racada3ra
      @A3racada3ra Před 2 lety +59

      Actually the dramatic part of that line comes from the fact that Dale (Tucci) took the long way home himself in order to get some peace of mind. When Emerson (Battany) says that line it occurs to Dale that everything he said earlier doesn't matter much, because - in the end - everyone will do whatever they want to do. That's the moment he decides to go back to the firm and take the money.

He never planned on being a martyr for his beliefs so NOT going back for the day to be sure he received what he was already entitled to as part of his separation was the right move. He didn't sell out. Had he planned to go public and only agreed to go back when threatened with them withholding his severance package I'd feel differently.

He never went to school to build intangible things like what he’s doing in his current job. After all those years, the bridge he built was still in use...tangible and STILL providing the value for which it was built. His current job from which he was fired and making a lot of money still doesn’t provide the value of that bridge.

    One of the most rewarding scenes of this movie... to get to hear him tell out all those numbers and the value that means... contrasted with spending all that time trying to build financial bridges that collapsed in on itself. He regrets going into that business. Being an engineer - a bridge builder was far more rewarding to him. That was his most treasured legacy. And he knows it.
    Bettany's character tells it like it is. He's a scumbag and he'll take the money and let the market figure out the damage he is causing.

      They're a single investment firm, they just buy and sell around market prices. To think they even make a dent (the damage you mention) in the US housing market is laughable, they're just another cog in the machine. At best them selling everything is only going to make their constituents take a long close look at the numbers as well. Lets not forget that the banks giving out loans didn't have a gun to someone's head; it was working class adults that couldn't pay their monthly rent, were greedy and//or didn't do the math on their interest rates and just signed on the dotted line who caused the crash. The ones that actually _do_ run into hard times and have to default are always there, in both the peaks and the valleys.

      It is the job of the banks to profit from over/under valued assets.
      Causing
      A. Profits for banks
      B. "True" price of said assets as close as possible at all times.
      Win-win for all
      So the main question here is. What policies/culture led to overvalued housing prices?
      Well many point fingers, but an economist I read about blamed it on affordable housing. Encouraging banks to give loans to high-risk people in the name of affordable housing. And to sweeten the deal (cuz no bank would shoot themselves in the foot) is that the housing loan is almost 100% secured/guaranteed despite high-risk.
      This is the incentive created that caused the market crash. Not lending, not trading, not capitalism. But bureaucratic policies that doesn't align with reality.

Its organised criminal behaviour which never gets violent and never results in the bastards going to jail because its conducted under the guise of 'civilised' behaviour.

      you spend a lot of time and effort trying to make people's lives better, only to discover you were never really helping them to begin with. The point being he was the risk management guy and had spent a lot of effort trying to keep the company out of trouble, and in the end wasn't appreciated for it. Will's comment was, essentially, keeping the company out of trouble was never what the company wanted. they were making a crap-ton of money getting INTO trouble. You built a bridge some people didn't really want. Eric saw the creation of the bridge as something good he did, and he misses that. Rose colored glasses. You do a job, you get compensated for it. any other meaning or feelings you attach to it are on you, and are probably a self-lie to some degree.

    This scene sounds so much like a mafia insider talk.

    I get the point!...... Yes, you got fired, but don't let your ego get in the way. 8 more hours of being in the office will save you a LOT of financial trouble from this FIRM later on.

    In a single monologue he convinces Will that he is really good at adding up. Like, really really good. And if he thinks that the corrected model is right, Will should as well

    This quote establishes that Dale is smart and was really onto something and that an extremely capable employee was pet go

    I hope some of the real life engineers, architects and construction workers that built the Moundsville bridge watched this scene. Some recognition is always nice.

    Love this scene. My parents were finance people by profession. In my family, I was the only person to choose the BSc route (microbiology and biochemistry). I'm glad that my parents taught me the practical skills necessary to run and operate a business long-term, but I'll forever be greatfull that I chose to stick with the sciences. 32 years later I'm a shareholder in 2 companies; a farm and a software development company (long story short, took a computer science 101 course in varsity, and making websites was a non-capital intensive way of generating money to start the farming project). I love that my job is feeding people, I do it gladly. I want my life to add value to those around me, after all, they gave me so much already to reach this point. I went to a government funded school, so several people out there's taxes helped me get to where I am today. Only seems fair to give it back.
