BOILER ROOM ON WAY TO INTERVIEW 1997

[@willn8664]

the soundtrack in this movie is underrated

[@thegadflygang5381]

The best old school East Coast/NYC hip hop soundtracks ever made. Really mixes it up with Biggie, Tribe Called Quest, Pharoh Monae, Slick Rick, Brand Nubian. Just a killed look back at Mid 90s hip hop

[@gfexc]

First sign ignored. If you walk into a company and they treat you like that, the best thing is to leave right away. Nothing good is going to come out of it

[@freakyfornash]

Yeah, but Chris (Vin Diesel's character) was actually by far the nicest out of the team leaders ironically though! That unlike Greg, who recruited Seth to J.T. Marlin being anything but.

[@alexsuleta2305]

Nah thats just sales man especially all commissions

[@el34glo59]

Bingo

[@el34glo59]

@@alexsuleta2305 Nah its not. Not like that man. I've worked alot of commission based sales, in fact the toughest there is, throughout my life. And was successful at it for awhile.

[@christopherfischer6998]

Funny thing here is that Chris yelled at Seth to GTFO, ends up regularly defending him and is probably the nicest to him of all the team and has his back throughout the movie

[@SuperJutah]

Because Chris was not even an employee... Chris earned respect by becoming a top performer

[@freakyfornash]

Yeah, and he was even the one senior broker who was compassionate enough to sign the sell ticket in order to give Harry Reynard who Seth scammed out of his life savings his money back at the very end of the movie too.

[@SuperJutah]

@@freakyfornash The alternative ending was a LOT darker as well… Harry goes to visit JT Marlin with a machine gun and bumps into Seth in the street but they never met in person so didn’t recognise him

[@freakyfornash]

@@SuperJutah Oh I know, and it was actually a handgun of sorts, where Harry was getting ready to go all "Columbine" on J.T. Marlin during the alternate ending too! (L.O.L.!)

[@SuperJutah]

@@freakyfornash This is the best sales movie to me until the founder came out!!! I’ve worked in Boiler Rooms and didn’t realise they were all scams until I was in too deep… Did you notice Ben Affleck kicks out the guy who already has his series 7 certification because if he is already familiar with rules and regulations he would’ve reported JT Marlin to the SEC

@@marioboyd557 A type of investment fund. You put your money in it and "forget about it". It provides the best returns on investment...or some of the best considering the types of investment and services. The money is reinvested constantly and you can put more money into the account. You will have to look up more details. If you want to start investing putting money into an index is your best option.

This movie was strangely ahead of it’s time in subtle ways, but also desperately locked into it’s times as well.

[@kdpowers]

Yeah like the way it was edited.

[@a1aprospects470]

It wasn't ahead of it's time... it was based on an actual firm that was shut down by the SEC in 1991. I know, because I was a trainee there.

[@MrAitraining]

[@adanrios7951]

I just realized When Seth walks into the Boiler room The first 2 guys are trying to retain clients and hints that the stock is bad. The next 2 guys are making offers of the new junk. And the last 2 guys are trying to close their sales. 3 different sets of the most common sales calls that they have

@@july9566 yes, suffolk too. Maybe not the far east end, but the south shore of suffolk County from the Nassau border out to about patchogue is more urban than rural. If you've lived there awhile you just haven't noticed it because it happened over time. Commuting from sayville to Bayshore took me 45 minutes last year before i left. High rises, condos, and apartments everywhere. The town of Islip alone is over 400 000 people. That's almost as big as Atlanta. The city has moved east and it will only get worse.

I've always found it kinda curious how this movie has a soundtrack full of rap/hip-hop songs, the dialogue is peppered with urban slang, and one of the first lines of dialogue begins with "The Notorious B.I.G. said it best..." ...yet apart from the receptionist/secretary that happens to be the main protagonists' love interest, this entire movie seems to take place in a universe where black people don't exist, populated by guys who don't seem to think all that highly of black people, or at least not constrained by political correctness (re: Richie telling Chris "Whatever...just gimme 10 to 1 in that skinny little ni^^er!!"). Then again, they also seem to be living in a world that seems less like America circa 2000, and more like a David Mamet play, in a time when white people were Jews, Italians, Poles, Irish, and Slavs, instead of lumped into one big demographic called "white people." Overall, it makes little sense...but it's long been a pet favorite of mine, a real guilty pleasure. The late '90s/early 2000s were a time I remember fondly. I got into the IT biz, I was starting to actually build something I could call a "career," and was even making a few bucks. The "Dot-Com Boom" created an economy that was all big tits and swinging dicks, VC's were throwing wads of money at everyone with a website, business in some regions-- like Northern Virginia/DC, where I was living-- was blowing up, and people were becoming paper millionaires by joining Internet start-ups and taking smaller salaries with pre-IPO stock options founded and run by 20-something CEOs who were supposed to become the newest class of American business tycoons. A lot of the spirit of that time was captured in this movie; up to and including masses of people suddenly thinking that were savvy investors and stock market experts. The possibilities seemed endless...and then it all suddenly fell on its' ass, as such markets invariably do, though nobody wants to think so.
