lol

How the fuck did you know? this is probs the tenth time I'm watching it in the last 2 years

You're right 😅

I've never had a video stalk me like this one has.

Correcto

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

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. 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.

@@ifedhimspaghettii’m laughing so hard rn

No u.

Nope

„Intellect“

Which type were you: fisrt, intelligent or cheating?

Liar

LOL

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. 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.

Just...silence.

elegant scene

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.

Well you're not the sharpest fish in the drawer.

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.

Same reason nobody ever told mike tysin he talks funny. Who is going to correct him

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.

It is balls that brought him there. And it is confirmed by the sound he makes with the file. That's what he wants other to think

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.

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.

Reckon he's the company chairman - the only person who is arguably more senior than the CEO.

They probably hung out at the island together

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.

Of course it's intentional.

As I’ve progressed in my career, the most useful thing I’ve learned is to be open about saying ‘I don’t understand, can you explain it to me’

@@pejpm I need to get a lot better at that

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.

This is called the executive summary.

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.

So the real-life CEO was a Dick, and the fictional CEO is Turd. Makes sense.

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!"

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.

@@fugu4163everyone was starting at him he was telling everything to shut up so he would tell him the truth

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.

Great observation. and comment

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.

One of my favorite scenes in the movie.

The similarity in age also suggests this is a senior partner with a heavy investment and a long history not shared by the younger people in the room.

@@dennisroddy8860 He’s also the guy who needs further explanation on the “challenge”- his narrowed eyes-and Irons asks for it on his behalf.

Also he the only other person wearing a red tie, symbol of power and status

The extra didn't follow directions and improvised. To save money they kept it in instead of reshooting the scene.

@@seanwebb605 Is that true? Really cool if so - good on Irons for playing into 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.
