      There are salmonella in these omelettes. As a result, the firm has decided to liquidate its majority position of egg products today. These are your omelettes that you are responsible for today. I'm sure it hasn't taken you long to understand the implications of this sale on your relationships with your counterparties and the medical doctors and nurses of this town and as a result on your careers.
      If you achieve 93% sale of your omelettes, you will receive the remaining 7 percent as a bonus. If the floor as a whole achieves a 93 percent sale, you also receive a slice of bread and two rolls of four layered toilet paper apiece. For those of you who have never been through this before, this is like what the beginning of a diarrhea sale looks like.

The financial crisis this movie depicts cost 200,000 jobs on Wall Street alone, half a million nationwide among brokers and other financial professionals. Yeah, they likely would have struggles to get jobs in this sector afterwards for months to a year. Plus this firm was selling something they knew was worthless to other firms. Not many people are going to be lining up to hire brokers from a firm that was selling billions of dollars worth of crap.

      @@chancock4222 That's correct however these people got a lump sum payment of 1.4mil (personal) and 1.3mil (for the floor if they achieved a 93% sell out) so thats a total of 2.7mil in that time which is (according to some calculator i found online quick) 3.3mil in 2021. They also might've gotten their base commission on top of all of that. Having that kind of money at a time where everything is pennies on a dollar can set you up for life if you make the right investments and that's exactly what these people do for a living. They could build a portfolio of 1.5mil. Pay off all their debts with another 750k (im assuming they dont have more) and have 950k to have for savings, rental properties (which by this time have probably 5x in price). 2.7mil is a lot of money around 2008.

      Fully agree. Spectacularly written, directed and acted. Unfortunately a drama piece like this one, with no in-your-face tricks (CGI, violence, grand sets or dramatic music) is bound to be half-forgotten in this era of the death of the movies. Unless it gets an Academy Awards nod. But even that nowadays is becoming pointless, as Hollywood is steering the award machine to the dead waters of wokism rather then keeping it within the boundaries of art.

      magesticmaniacc The Big Short was entertaining, but in no way explained anything related to the crash. This movie did a great job explaining it, but I can promise that most of it made little sense to people outside the industry (and most inside the industry to be honest). Margin Call is very dense with a lot of technical terms used correctly, and those concepts are so complex that it takes a lifetime to truly grasp them.

      @Bruce S Well the point of the movie was to try to show everything from the firms perspective. The movie is about the financial crisis but the deeper message is how easy it is when you are inside an unethical system to never see things as unethical. Never getting the perspective of people hurt by their moves and never getting the details about how the all these securities were seen as valuable when they were not, is intended to put the viewer in the shoes of people getting brainwashed into thinking they are not doing evil at their jobs.
      But I agree the movie went too far. Especially if you only see it as Youbut clips. The problem is that because they artificially collapse the real timeline in the movie and leave out details for the sake of drama, it is way too easy to see the firm as heros. The message got lost by editing for drama.
      The movie was too subtle for its own good.

The entire film is unethical, up to and including Spacey not telling Irons to go f himself and walk out when he heard what he wanted to do. Integrity is something so few people have, especially in that industry. The people on the other end of the phone calls should have recognized the fire sale for what it was. No one should have fallen for that scumbaggery and they should have been left holding the bag and going belly up. But life happens. People lied and it cost most Americans everything.

      Well, their careers were up in flames anyway because if they didn't sell everything no matter what, the firm would go under, as will most of Wall Street, for the foreseeable future. As Sam mentioned in the senior executives meeting, they would have to throw the traders a pretty big bone for them to do what they have to do so the company survives. At least despite their careers being destroyed, they have a one-off bonus to act as a cushion, which is better than nothing. It might be a greater evil to be a part of destroying the economy and knowingly giving your toxic assets to someone else, but it's the more pragmatic option.

    To those who have stated that this was the end of the trader's careers and no other firm would hire them after the fire sale. You're forgetting one important aspect.
    In reality, the real world, every single brokerage house, every financial institution, every large bank was in the same boat as this company. ALL of the above were selling. All were aware they were selling something that in a few minutes after purchase would be worth pennies on the pennies on the dollar.
    And truth be told, had the federal government not acquiesced to the advice of the banking lobby, the economy would have crashed and burned. Now, many large banks were able to right their ships without much of the carnage of other firms and in the end paid back the federal government every dime given. Some banks and financials were forced to succumb to aggressive buyouts by more stable firms.
    The irony here is the federal officials told the banks to NOT pay back the loans.
    Anyway, the point is, those that were able to move forward from the carnage of 2007 thru 2009 actually continued to work in the business. Unfortunately like rats on a sinking ship, the upper level officers of these firms were allowed to bail and receive their golden parachutes. That's the galling aspect of this whole thing.
    Because together with the federal government, they concocted this scheme to expand home ownership to people they KNEW were not financially qualified to take on a loan for home ownership.

    Why can't the movie sound level be as high as the outtro theme music?

    I can’t imagine selling something I knew was worthless to clients I had worked with for years.

      Me either. May be a different scenario though being in the situation and knowing that if you don’t. That you and your colleagues are going to be out of a job, no salary, bonuses, pensions and broke. Capitalism is ruthless. There is better ways for it to work. But that wouldn’t happen in today’s world.

    What they heard: "You pull this s#$^ off, you make a cool $2.7 Million a piece."
    Yeah, I like this country!

    When there are so many are great performances in a movie, I have to think what we're seeing is great directing. It's not a shock when Irons or Tucci nails it, but how many Oscar-worthy performances are there from Demi Moore? Or Penn Badgley? Just brilliant down the line.

      And a great screenplay. The director was the writer, and it was his first film. Outstanding.
