"I own five houses... And a condo." ... "HEY there's a bubble!..." 10/10, perfectly cut. The pacing in this entire movie is top tier, and it's little snaps like those that show it.

"I have five houses... and a condo" smash cut to "heyyy there's a bubble" was fucking fantastic.

"Can you introduce us?" *"Yes. YES."*

Stripper: "James says I can always refinance" Baum: "Well...he's...a liar. Actually in this particular case, James probably is wrong" Im not sure how many people realised just how clever that line was. Baum is so used to dealing with smart people who are crooks, he initially assumed that James was lying. But then he thought about what a dumbass James is and realised that actually he has no clue what he is doing. Basically James isn't smart enough to be lying.

I just love the fact that the stripper understood everything better than mortgage brokers

You can say what you want but the 2 actors who play the mortgage brokers are fantastic...

I can't get enough of this movie. Everyone absolutely nailed their role, the production is great, the story can't be better because it actually happened. A masterpiece.

As a young realtor in 2005, I worked with my mother. We had Lenders at every sales meeting. I asked my mother, “Mom! Come on, why aren’t we using those loans?” She looked me right in the eye, “Mijo, those loans are not good for the client.” From that moment, I started watching, with interest. My mother and I are the only realtors I know of that never had a client lose their home, due to a bad loan. It wasn’t just Wall Street’s fault.

"You own a boat--so how many of these are adjustable rate mortgages?" That was an amazing piece of facial acting there.

"They're not confessing." "They're bragging" Is one of my favorite lines in a movie in the past 10 years

The "uhh, no" after "is Morgan Stanley recruiting us?" is so good. The delivery is flat out "you two dudebros can't be serious" And the Florida tans are a nice touch.

This movie is so brilliant. The line and delivery by carrell when he says “what do you mean on all your loans? We’re talking two loans on one house” really displays the true optimism his character actually had in the system despite how he comes off throughout the movie. As cynical as all these guys were even they COULD NOT believe the level of greed and stupidity that was running rampant in the housing market.

"who's Warren buffet?".. Such an underrated line

The mortgage brokers are the TikTok “investors” of today

"There's a bubble." "How do you know?" "Trust me." - Translation: "A stripper told me she has 5 houses and a condo."

"Well he's a liar- well in this particular case he's probably just wrong." Love the honesty of Carrell's character- knowing the real estate agent was likely too dumb / ill-informed to lie.

Danny's reaction "you own a boat" to that mortgage broker is hilarious.

"They're not confessing. They're bragging."

Those brokers are portrayed so perfectly. My ex brother in law started a mortgage brokerage with a bunch of his other minor league baseball washup buddies (all dressed and behaved exactly like these 2) and were making huge money for 2 years. Then, when I was in 8th grade ('08) for reasons I didn't understand until much later, my sister, their baby, and he moved from their upscale home in Denver to live at the ranch with us in west texas. He never held a job after that for very long.

This is a movie filled to the brim with “get angry, viewer” scenes. Also - I love everyone on Mark’s team. Cynical professionals. You want people like that on your team, they won’t let you down.

I work at a car dealership, when 2 of my worst lube guys quit to become "mortgage brokers" I knew the market was going to explode, I just didn't know how bad.. This movie is sobering to watch....

"Always?" "Only in VIP..." "No you said you always get adjustable..." lmfao

Can we also appreciate the little glance Vinnie takes at his daughter's picture to depict that he is fully embracing the magnitude of the deal he is about to make?

1:10 the subtle changing volume of the background music (Crazy by Gnarles Barkley) throughout this scene is wonderful. It matches both the time period as well as Baum's growing shock and dread as he realizes how completely out-of-control the situation has become.

This is my favourite Ryan Gosling character. He's such a magnificent douche.

you wanna know what scene really sticks in my head?...the stripper saying were not alone...her job is more regulated than the banks

What I like about this movie is that it delves somewhat into the question of how some people expected the bubble to burst when everybody in their business thought otherwise. Besides Burry doing the hellish legwork of just reading the bonds, this scene is another nice example of independent research. Just talking to some house brokers, some mortgage brokers and some of the people getting these loans is a simple but effective way to get a sample of a market. If one stripper owns six houses just for speculation, that's a big clue the demand for housing is inflated. This also shows how all this stuff about bets and bubbles relates to stuff non-bankers can understand like wanting to own a house.

Loving the very end when Jarred shouts 'YES'. Sounds so fking natural. His reaction is elemental.

“I have 5 houses... And a Condo.” “................ THERES A BUBBLE”

You have to love Vinny and Jareds brutal honesty to each other in this scene. I love Vinny's line "Alright, I buy that."

The acting in this movie is truly epic. Everyone played their role perfectly

Vinnie and Bennett--or at least the way they're portrayed--have some of the awesomest, most dynamic chemistry I've seen in any movie I can think of. They're the same guy, but completely the opposite--like a minor version of the Immovable Object & Irresistible Force, or twin brothers who were separated at birth. . .one to live with the abusive dad, the other to live his stripper mom.

One of the most impressive parts about this movie is the facial acting.. Steve Carrell in particular

These scenes were brilliant. I didn't get the human side of the crisis till I saw this film

Man I just LOVE the "how are you fucking us" scene. When Gosling is like "and yeah, I'm gonna rip your eyes out", it's just such a rare moment of directness and candor.

I loved that Vennett's assistant comes with him to the gym to hold his phone.

The patronizing "hahahaha you own a boat" at 1:31 is perfect.

The facial acting throughout this movie is so good.. there’s never a scene that feels dull.

"sharpen your pencils, I'll get the paperwork ready" - I just love this line

This is such a good movie, I keep coming back to these clips. Yes, the movie portrays the reality of the crash and how a select few saw it coming and got rich from it but as a movie, telling that story, every actor is sublime in their role, the script explains what's happening to the average person about as well as anyone could - it's a spectacular film.

I love this scene. These two douchebags were acted perfectly. This is a perfect representation of the mortgage industry at the time. I had several friends who saw easy money and dropped out of college to take jobs as loan officers. The scene at the end where they are at a job fair was a great scene as well. It shows exactly what happened to the predatory brokers after the crash. Many of my friends who took those jobs ultimately lost them, and some never really recovered and are still working menial jobs.

"I was a bartender. Now I own a boat". Fast forward a couple of years. "I was a mortgage broker. Now I clean boats."

Honestly I love how everyone was represented well in this movie, from the mortgage brokers writing the horrible loans to the ratings agencies to Karen Gillan playing someone working with the SEC.

I can’t tell you how much I love Rafe Spall in this film, and in general; his reactions and offhand remarks to Jared, these mortgage brokers… gets me every time.

"Adjustables are our bread and honey." - Never caught that line before, even though I've watched this scene so many times. The two mortgage guys are my favorite characters in the movie, because they are so well acted and perfectly capture the essence of those folks at the time. Misquoting a common saying like "bread and butter" is a detailed nuance that shows just how well this script was written.

"who is warren buffet...."

That scene cut from stripper owning 5 houses to "Yup, there's a bubble!" haha. This movie is amazing at humorizing terrifying epiphanies.

I was renting a house around this time, and a place up the street from us was on the market so I thought I'd take a look when they had an open house. I didn't have any real savings and wouldn't have been able to put a down payment together, but the agent gave me the card of a mortgage officer from Washington Mutual and told me I'd be _amazed_ at what they could do for me. I didn't follow up, but pretty clearly there were lots of "amazing" mortgages being written just then. And we all know what happened to Washington Mutual. The bank branch in town that used to be them is Chase now.

I didn't think much of Steve Carell before this movie, but wow, this man is an incredible actor.

I love the line: "Hey there is a bubble" after he found out that a stripper has 5 houses and a condo... hahaha 4:50

He straight up wolf of wall street his ass with that sundae analogy.

The electricity is palpable. I never get tired of this movie. To be there, in the middle of it all, as it was happening. Like standing on the beach and watching a tsunami wave approaching far off in the distance. Some saw it and knew what to do, others saw it and didn't. And some had no idea anything was happening at all. So many people got wiped out.

I love how Ryan Gosling just high-fives the random women on the treadmill. Small but a nice moment.

"Is This America's Angriest Hedgefund" lol, I love that line!

I love this scene! The most realistic part is that Vinny had to look up the phone number before calling Jared ;)

I can resonate with the final stranger high-fives so well. Few years back I worked on a sale for 6 weeks with a 50K Bonus on it. I was on a moving bullet train in Tokyo, and the closing sale meeting was done with Google Meet with a shitty train WiFi. When I closed it, I unknowing raised my voice and said “fuck yeah”. The whole car heard me, and a guy near me gave a me a nod. (he might’ve heard my closing pitch so he knew what was going on). It was my first big sale and all I wanted to do at that moment, was to high-five every single man and women in that carriage. 😻😻

you know what's crazy about this scene? We get to see how transparent Jared really is that Mark see's in him. In this scene he literally states as to what's gonna happen, he's gonna be taking some money from them little by little with the premiums, its gonna suck for them, but at the end of it all, they'll be make a shit ton of money, they get the whole 'sundae', and he just gets a bonus check the 'cherry topping'. He's not bullshitting them, he's very clear on what's gonna happen.

I’ve just been watching clips of this movie on YT for the past couple of weeks. I might as well just watch it again

I love that all of these clips are filled with comments just repeating every line of dialogue. Shows how brilliantly written this film is; not a wasted sentence

The acting and the dialogue was brilliant in this horror movie.

Hey, Is this Americas angriest hedge fund?

"... but you get the sundae Vinny... you get the sundae." Great scene... !

The 'you own a boat" mocking is great, lol.

This movie has so many subtle little shots. The soldier at the slot machines in Vegas, the ratings agency woman who "can't" even see properly. But this clip, it's the subtle shot of Vinnys daughter's picture on his desk that got me choked up. And I'm not even a father yet, but it did 😭

"The market's in an itsy bitsy little gulley right now" - 2020 Corona

Love this movie. The acting, the dialogues, the script, the tension are all top notch. Jeremy Strong, the guy with the chewgum, is a great actor. Watched Succession too!

I love everything about this movie. I'm not sure they purposely played Ganrles Barkley's Crazy in the background but the timing of that famous lyrics come in sync with Baum's question is just spot on.

The two actors playing the brokers were great, but...my god...the 2 real estate agents were scary realistic 😳 Having dealt with realtors in the past, they were perfectly portrayed. Vacant and presumptuous

This movie is pure gold because so many big name actors are way outside their typical role and nail it. You almost forget who are playing the roles for Gosling, Carrel, and Bale, especially Gosling.

this is one of the most underrated movies ever! all the actors have a 10 points performance "you own a boat?" :D

“Is Morgan Stanley recruiting us?” LMAO 😂

This scene is so incredibly accurate. I was in a restaurant. People in the back ordering Cristal for the room. I said who just ordered Cristal. The owner said "that's the Countrywide party" . I look in the back and there sits an ex bartender and the other is a car salesman and they are now Countrywide district managers ordering a case of Cristal. Well flash forward 15 years. One of these idiots drank his own Kool-Aid and went bankrupt and the other is still hacking out an existence at a local bank. I found out in the boom they were both making around 700K a year.

I remember when the crisis happened, I was in middle school I had no idea what was going on but I remember some people at school moved to a different state cause their parents lost their house. This movie is kinda helping me understand how bad it was.

I love the line “I don’t get it, why are they confessing?” 😂 Steve says is so perfectly. His character is really dumbfounded there.

I finally got around to watching this movie 8 years after its release and what a great movie it turned out to be. Everyone in this movie were just amazing in their roles. Especially Steve Carell. It's definitely worth a re-watch!

Truly brilliant performances from those two guys. It takes incredible self awareness to play people with zero self awareness.

5:27 Love how he thinks about his daughter before betting against the country's economy.

The subtlety with which the lyrics 'I think you're crazy' come into play at 2:27 as Steve Carrel then proceeds to question why the brokers are bragging to his team is genius directing and complements his perspective extremely well.

Lmao, I love the line from the guy at 1:29 when he matches the mortgage brokers energy by saying "you own a boat?! :D" whilst completely in the undertone of making fun of him. Tickles me each time.

This movie is so eminently watchable, especially having lived through all this. The soundtrack brings me right back to 06-07 too

The acting from Steve Carrell at 1:48 is subtle but also very detailed and excellent. When two people in a group smile and laugh, the natural instinct in social settings is to mimic the emotion being shown so as to “fit in” and also to not threaten the people. Steve does this excellent, with the immediate reaction of smiling to conform as a reflex and then the quick change to a more voluntary response of “something isn’t right here”. Very good

Stripper: "I have 5 mortgages!" HEY, THERES A HOUSING BUBBLE!!!

Gotta love the fact that the reason they trusted Jared was because, as Mark said, he was so transparent in his own self interest

I'm here and Silicon Valley Bank just fell, whole thing is starting again.

It took me a while in life to realize this is actually one of the greatest movies mankind has ever made.

I love the 2 seconds shot of Daniel's daughter. It's like he knows the world's going to collapse and he thinks for a moment what will be left for his child.

The song "Crazy" is playing in the background to portray literally what we're thinking about the whole situation.

Certainly one of my 5 favorite movies. Funny and sad at the same time. Why this movie did not generate more heat on the big banks is a true tragedy.

“Why’re they selling?” “Neither one’s working right now.” *Pan over massive Florida house* Aha...Oh my God.

"They're not confessing they're bragging " perfectly describes the ethos of a certain segment of society these days.

Anyone else love that the song in the background with the brokers is “Crazy - Gnarls Barkley” Another great detail

Such good film making. So quotable and fun to watch. Addictive and rewatchable scenes

"They're not confessing." "They're bragging."

The scene with the two mortgage brokers and Mark Baum's group was brilliantly executed. Fantastic!

The two cocky, overgrown teenagers who were the mortgage brokers really hit a nerve. My neighbour list her job and a big part of her pension because of guys like that. The very last scene in the movie says it all, we threw one guy under the bus and carried on as usual. We never learned a thing.

The script and the acting was fantastic. Rarely have I seen a better movie on a complex subject.

I started in the mortgage business in the late 90's as a telemarketer. Eventually I became a loan officer right around 1999. In spring of 2000 I went to work for a subprime lender at the time. The business we did was nearly all refinance. We didn't do much purchase. It was mostly cash out refinance, borrowers getting cash to pay off debt or for home improvements. That all being said, most of the loans we did were adjustable, high loan to value, and high rates with high fees. We also did a lot no income verification loans like this guy describes. The sad part is all they had to do was right down on a sheet of paper what they did for a living and how much they made doing it. The other thing that rings true about this clip is when the real estate agent describes the appreciation of real estate before the crash. It was that ridiculous how we would refinance there loan and refinance them again a year or two later and the home was worth 30k to 40k more. One line of work that never gets enough criticism in my opinion for these loans getting done is home appraisers. Remember we couldn't have gotten the loans done if we didn't get the value we needed. If one were to go back and look at the appraisals that were done on these loans one would see a lot fraudulent appraisals. I think it was good thing a lot of them lost there licenses , because they deserved it.

Ugh, I sold loans from 2002-2009, I was these guys. So blind by the money i was making I had no idea it was all going to shit.

I love the sudden switch to: "there's a bubble."

such a great movie. I love intelligent writing combined with brilliant acting.
