"Would I like to buy a car for him? NO"

Accurate line

The ability to separate a personality from the message is important in life.

@@BigstickNick no way putting it better fam. This skill comes with real maturity.

The dialog in this movie is beautifully crafted.

It was an absolutely perfect metaphor for the credit default swap!! This stuff is immensely complex stuff to understand, especially in a movie format. Despite being a BRILLIANT dark-comedy/drama…. The writers deserve Oscars for writing in such a way as to educate their audience MID STORY… and MID-LAUGH… it’s honestly a bit baffling how they managed to do that.

Reminds me a bit of the Murray Rothbard quote talking about FDIC insurance being like insuring the Titanic after it hits the iceberg

So amazing.

Would I buy a car from him, no 😂

It's why I somewhat respect Republicans and hate democrats, even though I wish all politicians death

@@bjornyesterday2562 - Nah that's true though. A person can KNOW that Republicans are monstrous, greedy, racists & fascists.... but the Democrats are worse, cuz they love to pretend like they aren't any of those things, but ARE. So they're slimey & sneaky about it is all. And who can respect that?? I avoid putting my trust in EITHER party, cuz neither one gives 2 sh*ts about the average American. 😒🇺🇲🚫 I can't wait til it ALL comes crashing down. It's the only thing which will finally be the "Great Equalizer". I can't wait til all those crooks on Wall Street gotta beg & labor for their resources JUST LIKE THE REST OF US.

@@KabbalahSherry I just like reading how some politicians will talk to local areas and claim credit for a bill that passed, but they had voted against it federally.

And a true story.

No it is the motherfucking life

Could you elaborate on it

In the wake if the savings and loan crisis of the 1980s and 1990s, P.J. O'Rourke had a piece in Rolling Stone explaining how the S&L's pumped up their balance sheets by swapping properties back and forth, increasing their paper value and then borrowing against those bogus inflated values when the collateral wasn't worth what had been borrowed. It turned what seemed to be an incomprehensible situation into a depressingly obvious scam. While Adam McKay is a complete hypocrite by virtue of the fact he fully supports all the liberal politicians who protected the banks from regulation (like Barney Frank and Chris Dodd) which allowed for the 2008 Crash in the wake of the Democrat takeover of Congress in 2006, he does a good job here explaining what a house of cards and literal casino our financial system is as in the sidebar scene with Selena Gomez.

@@Pro_Vaxxer Say you have a brother-in-law, Teddy. He drinks all the time AND he is a horrible driver. You and I both know he is gonna wreck his car going home. So, sitting in the bar one night, you say .... GUYS, Teddy bought himself a Camaro, I know he is gonna wreck it. Too much car for him and he drinks a lot.

@@Pro_Vaxxer he’s basically saying he can appreciate how they use celebrity appearances explaining the complex business parts in simple terms using something analogous like fish. He can also appreciate the breaking of the fourth wall. This is shown when the mathematician turns and talks to the camera. This is referred to as the breaking of the fourth wall. All and all, this movie had great methods and did a very good job explaining complex financial topics in a simple manner.

I think it's the expression he was making when he got caught off guard, he opened his eyes wider and then when he turned around in his chair and face the camera he was more relaxed.

It's on purpose to help dissociate the audience. He turns and talks directly to the audience as a narrator and leaves the scene, and a hairstyle change helps express that shift.

Except that the only people that made money were assholes and the only people that were held accountable for the entire thing happening was nobody and because the government bailed them out they still got their bonuses and all the regular people ate shit.

It's cuz he's jacked, man. He's jacked to the TITS!

I mean the crisis was already unfolding there wasn't much they could have done to stop it at that point. All they could do was bet intelligently on the outcome

It's a good analogy though. Banks don't deal in solutions, they deal in stuff that makes them money, like stocks, options and insurance bonds.

Not just fire insurance, but offering a 50 to 1 bet that it burns down over the next couple of days.

I think he said "and a fund", i.e. a fund manager with a few million AUM, in today's (albeit admittedly not so much back then), market thats barely a drop in the bucket and such a small fund will go under within a few months in like 99% of cases. Also back then money was sooooo easy to come by, you really were a loser if you could only get a few sticks even as a start up fund. Remember even back then, if you had $10m AUM you likely didnt make more than $200k a year, which for finance guys in NYC is pretty bad.

It's awkward to admit but I've earned more respect that way myself.

It’s because he’s honest. He lays it right out what he wants and why, so while you may not like what he is doing, you can deal with him.

The key to being successful at this is not having bad intentions because if you admit what you're doing and you're doing it with ill intent people won't respect you. He's just trying to make money off other people's fuck ups which isn't evil so they like his transparency

i dont respect people who have no self interest. They are liars, hypocrites or mentally ill. The more transparent about what you want you are, the more trust i can put in you. If you go "i do it for the children" you are a psychopath that aims for WW3 as far as i know.

Also the tiny little zoom in to him when he says "Opportunity" is great. Very subtle.

He really did BECOME the man he was playing. Down to even the minor verbal ticks. My other favorite moment of his besides this scene is near the end, in the bathroom when he shouts, "I'm jacked... I'm jacked TO THE TITS!" Apparently, the line was just, "I'm so jacked!" But when he forgot to say the "so" part, instead of redoing the whole take, he just ad-libbed that "TO THE TITS" part and one of the film's funniest lines was born.

Mok Mok okay okay doggos prest attention. Whos a guud boy? Anyway bonds are made up of mortgage that the average Americans pay. For a bank by selling a bond made of 1000 mortgages ment they made nasty amout of cash for selling this and for investors the people who buys these get a safe investment. Now some people don't pay and lose their houses when alot of people stop paying this means that they bond will fail. Now all these bonds have a grade assigned to them like school. We have A bonds that are the better and the tripple B's and Bs and that stufff the grading works like this :1. AAA 2.AA 3.A 4.BBB 5.BB 6.B

Mok Mok now since the bank were greedy as fuck they started giving motages like candy like if the average American were kids. Now since the banks run out of people who can actually pay their motages lets say for example a asian family that makes alot of money which thier mortgsge will be on those AAA Bonds they started to give Mortgages to strippers,homeless people,minimun wage workers buying 400k houses and those mortgages went to B or BBB bonds since they started to fail (because they're shit is like expecting for your dog to pay your debt)alot this bonds interest rate was going high because the higher the risk the higher is the interest rate. Once it reach for 8% that ment these people with those mortgages that they cannot pay they will not be able to refinance them so that means *ALOT* of those mortgages will fail all at the same time.Creating the house market bubble to burst and global recession like the apocalypse for the finance world .

@@d0rinat0r in a Bonus Feature on the Blu Ray they said that was intentional. While everybody would stay mostly deadpan, Rafe Spall was supposed to enliven scenes with his reactions

Those nicknames weren't even made up for the movie. Greg Lippmann (the real Jared Vennett) was really called those names inside Deutsche. Originally they dumped the short position on him in order to create synthetic CDOs out of the swaps, and told him to sell more swaps. Then he had the guy who got 2nd in the Chinese math competition (yeah, that's real too) run numbers and found out just how unstable the bonds were. Houses didn't even need to go down for the bonds to fail; the prices just needed to grow slowly enough to keep people from refinancing. At that point he became a True Believer and took as much of a short position as he possibly could. Coworkers called him chicken little and bubble boy. "Fuck you, I'm short your house!" Management saw that he was burning up money paying premiums on the swaps. They said if you're going to do that, you'd better not be the only person in the world holding these things, because then there won't be a market for them when you need to sell. So he hits the town with this razzmatazz presentation complete with Chinese quant and promises to "rip your eyeballs out" when it comes time to sell. He collects a fee everytime someone buys swaps from Deutsche, and uses that money to cover some of the premiums he's paying on his own short position. The book is really good btw.
