"Margin Call" is a very underappreciated movie IMO. The movie is starred by Stanley Tucci and Kevin Spacey. There are a lot of parallels between this movie and what happened last Friday with the unwinding of Archegos Capital Management's positions by Goldman Sachs and others.
No idea why I started thinking about it on Friday 26th March 2021 but its a lot what Goldman Sachs did when it liquidated $10.5 Billion in Stocks in Block Trade Spree. The bank sold $6.6 billion worth of shares of Baidu Inc, Tencent Music Entertainment Group and Vipshop Holdings Ltd, before the US market opened on Friday. Following this, Goldman sold $3.9 billion worth of shares in ViacomCBS Inc, Discovery Inc, Farfetch Ltd , iQIYI Inc and GSX Techedu Inc, according to the report.
Deutsche Bank AG dodged this bullet (mimicking Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and others) by a swift
disposal of $4 billion of available-for-sale collateral from its prime brokerage exposure to Hwang. Credit Suisse Group AG and Nomura Holdings Inc. were less fortunate. The collateral they hold
may now both be much lower in value and less liquid, taking much longer to offload, with commensurate larger losses. While there were reported attempts to broker a club deal on
Archegos and to undertake a collective controlled explosion of the positions, trust among the investment bankers was absent. It became devil take the hindmost.
We already know that Credit Suisse took the brunt of this though. The reporting overall on this has been pretty thin given the fact that one family office going belly up pretty much rocked five gigantic financial service brokerage firms? And disrupted the trading of how many companies? Really a larger point that is apparently being missing - Goldman, Morgan Stanley, et al. did NOT have better risk management in place. They were all on the Titanic - GS and MS simply jumped in the lifeboats more quickly.
1) Controversial, but upon reflection I would put this entire speech up against any speech from "Wall Street."
2) "So you are a rocket scientist....Maybe you could tell me what is going on. And please, speak as you might to a young child. Or a golden retriever. It wasn't brains that brought me here; I assure you that."
3) "Do you care to know why I'm in this chair with you all? I mean, why I earn the big bucks...I'm here for one reason and one reason alone. I'm here to guess what the music might do a week, a month, a year from now. That's it. Nothing more...."
4) "...And standing here tonight, I'm afraid that I don't hear - a - thing. Just... silence."
Just so good.

@@ralphmacchiato3761 Never blame capitalism, blame the people who mismanaged capitalism. FDR did not say that but his actions speaks louder than words for he saved capitalism for capitalism. When people say 'capitalism doesn't work', what they really mean is 'We've distorted capitalism with a bunch of regulations that don't work, so let's give up on it and switch to something that has never once worked'. The regulatory system of FDR just worked fine until it was abused and misused by the leftists and progressives to the point it allowed the opposition to de-regulate America that destroyed the very safety mechanism that prevented the negative side of capitalism to overwhelm the positive side of capitalism. The purpose of FDR's regulatory policies is quite simple, prevent the abuse of capitalism and prevent the misuse of it's powers. It is because of FDR's regulatory policies you have the 1950s and 1960s economic miracle and then in the late 1960s you started ripping it apart! In the 1970s , a wave of young liberals. Bill Clinton among them, destroyed the populist Democratic Party they had inherited from the New Dealers of the 1930s. The contours of this ideological fight were complex, but the gist was: Before the 70s, the Democrats were suspicious of big business. They used anti-monopoly policies to fight oligarchy and financial manipulation. Creating competition in open markets, breaking up concentrations of private power, and protecting labor and farmer rights were understood as the essence of ensuring that our commercial society was democratic and protected from big money.

You want to be the top of the pile, taking home tens of millions in bonuses and then with a golden parachute/handshake, you’re going to leave with a net worth of likely $100 million +, you need to be the “best” 12-16 hour days as fairly standard. And everyone in the room has an iq of a minimum of 115. Standard would be 125, very bright. That boss will likely be mean. Abusive. Demanding. Jeremy irons is so cool.

Having a few scenes with Jeremy Irons getting woken up and helicoptering in, or Zach Quinto in a s*hole apartment, or Demi Moore with her lesbian supermodel gf, or Tucci breaking the news to his family would have added a lot to the movie. Great potential. Another one is "Things to do in Denver when You're Dead".

Jeremy Irons deserved an Oscar for this performance. With the aid of some excellent writing and directing, Irons superbly locates the beats between the lines. In less than 9 minutes his character charms, self-deprecates, placates, condescends, lectures, boasts, scolds, instructs, justifies, warns, commands, and cajoles. This is combined with his subtle body language, which is mostly open and free (occasionally betraying his true emotional state) until he finally draws a closed, defensive position and utters the words: "so that we may survive". A masterclass performance for the ages.

The use of depth of field, the irksomeness of crossing the line repeatedly, the big space in frame given to the CEO, the small room given to everyone else, unless the CEO allows them the space. It's beautifully executed. Just like the scene, it is largely calm, yet there is a volcano about to erupt underneath their feet.

This entire scene is a masterclass in ensemble acting, but there’s two moments where you get a really good insight into how good an actor Irons is. The first is when he calls on Sullivan to speak, saying in a relaxed way, with a friendly smile, “it wasn’t brains that got me here…”. Notice how his thumb is instantly flicking the pages of the report, showing how much that relaxation is a facade. The second is when he says, again calmly, “you’re speaking with me…” and gives a look towards the side - towards the most senior risk advisors - that betrays exactly how angry he is. It’s beautiful.

@zibbledyzobbledy6442 2 жыл бұрын

Anyone else enters the room: nobody looks up. Who cares. Mr Tulda enters the room: everyone stands up. "Friendly smile": like a cobra looking at a rabbit, emotionless stare, no blinking, thumb twitching folder to make clear that the thought bubble in his head contains: You have two seconds to explain it underling. Note the shift in temperature before /after Peter Sullivan´s statement: before: Jared blabla, after: Mr Cole I think this is where you come in. The room just got colder. When Sullivan speaks, the risk advisors give him the evil eye, but Jeremy gives them with a glance the bigger evil eye and freezes them out. A masterpiece of power play and dominance.

Despite other replies to your post, I think you hit the nail on the head, so to speak. Any boss is only as good as the people under him, and good bosses make constant decisions about how to keep the engine firing on all cylinders. Even when a boss has almost a perfect group, he still weeds out the weakness to keep it strong and intact. So, yes, as a boss, I acknowledge my own weaknesses, I listen to my people, I listen to their advice, and in the end, I am the decision maker, and this is true leadership. In this clip, the ultra high paid CEO is getting top information from a much lower paid analyst, part of the group that he's assembled and perfected over time. So, while he may not have the brains to do all the daily work necessary, he does have his wits, guts, and intelligence to keep the team running at its highest quality, and to ultimately consume what's laid out in front of him, then make the big decisions. A CEO with a huge ego can never be a good leader.

Great writing! John Tuld knows exactly what needs to be done before even entering the room, and everything he says is meant to points the others to the same conclusion without him having to explain it. When Jeremy says "speak as you might, to a young child, or a golden retriever" it is to ensure that everyone around the table understands what the problem is and how it came to be. When Peter finishes his explanation vaguely by saying the crisis has sort of happened, he establishes that it has by saying in an elegant way that it is his job to say wether it has or not. Next he makes Cohen propose the solution hes after by referring to his lesson about being first. Tuld could have said everything himself but it sounds more convincing to the others when it comes from the right people. The analyst explains the problem and the responsible executive proposes the solution. Also Jeremys acting is brilliant as so many other have pointed out already

There's also the level of respect presented here. Irons is playing the CEO of a company that does trillions in trades. He himself is at the very minimum a multi millionaire, if not a full on billionaire. He is the guy that 'signs the checks' and who could fire every single person in that room on a whim, if he wanted to. Irons then turns not to his own senior executives to tell him the problem, he goes directly to the source. He's careful, and respectful when talking with Zachary, and that sets the state. He's effectively telling everyone, regardless of their position within the company, that Zachary is their hero. He alone figured out what no one could, and he's given them the warning that everything is about to fall apart. Without even really saying it, he's also telling everyone there, that they owe their jobs, and their futures, to this one young analyst, who figured out something that his 'brain trust' of executives couldn't. That is a great deal of respect. Even the correction about the music stopping, isn't done in a superior way. It's treated like a simple conversation, between equals. In a way, Jeremy's character sees himself in Zachary. Zachary, like he, has a good finger on the pulse of the market, and Zachary, like he, saw things that no one else could, or would. Zachary goes from being just a simple salaried peon at this point, to someone that Jeremy holds in a high regard. That does not mean that later, when the whole mess is over, that Jeremy's character won't fire Zachary's, but it does mean that when that time comes, you can damn well bet that the CEO will provide Zachary with a substantial payout, a reward, if you will. For saving the company as a whole.

During the bosses speech, Jared continues to look at the slide deck as if he doesn't already know what it says. He has no clue, and is terrified of what comes next. Anybody who has ever been in a boardroom during a tense time knows that exact feeling.
