There are salmonella in these omelettes. As a result, the firm has decided to liquidate its majority position of egg products today. These are your omelettes that you are responsible for today. I'm sure it hasn't taken you long to understand the implications of this sale on your relationships with your counterparties and the medical doctors and nurses of this town and as a result on your careers. If you achieve 93% sale of your omelettes, you will receive the remaining 7 percent as a bonus. If the floor as a whole achieves a 93 percent sale, you also receive a slice of bread and two rolls of four layered toilet paper apiece. For those of you who have never been through this before, this is like what the beginning of a diarrhea sale looks like.

@@vovole1 Spacey literally said in this clip, "If we're successful here today we will be successful in destroying our own jobs." The financial crisis this movie depicts cost 200,000 jobs on Wall Street alone, half a million nationwide among brokers and other financial professionals. Yeah, they likely would have struggles to get jobs in this sector afterwards for months to a year. Plus this firm was selling something they knew was worthless to other firms. Not many people are going to be lining up to hire brokers from a firm that was selling billions of dollars worth of crap.

[@rayzala1393]

@@chancock4222 That's correct however these people got a lump sum payment of 1.4mil (personal) and 1.3mil (for the floor if they achieved a 93% sell out) so thats a total of 2.7mil in that time which is (according to some calculator i found online quick) 3.3mil in 2021. They also might've gotten their base commission on top of all of that. Having that kind of money at a time where everything is pennies on a dollar can set you up for life if you make the right investments and that's exactly what these people do for a living. They could build a portfolio of 1.5mil. Pay off all their debts with another 750k (im assuming they dont have more) and have 950k to have for savings, rental properties (which by this time have probably 5x in price). 2.7mil is a lot of money around 2008.

Fully agree. Spectacularly written, directed and acted. Unfortunately a drama piece like this one, with no in-your-face tricks (CGI, violence, grand sets or dramatic music) is bound to be half-forgotten in this era of the death of the movies. Unless it gets an Academy Awards nod. But even that nowadays is becoming pointless, as Hollywood is steering the award machine to the dead waters of wokism rather then keeping it within the boundaries of art.

It's either that or play nice and go home empty handed. I'd bust my tail off, make my $1.3million and hopefully we all attain the 93% mark and make an additional $1.3million. A composite /total of $2.6million will set me up nicely to venture into a new career if the current one is burned beyond repair.

*THE GREATER GOOD!*

[@peterisawesomeplease]

@Bruce S Well the point of the movie was to try to show everything from the firms perspective. The movie is about the financial crisis but the deeper message is how easy it is when you are inside an unethical system to never see things as unethical. Never getting the perspective of people hurt by their moves and never getting the details about how the all these securities were seen as valuable when they were not, is intended to put the viewer in the shoes of people getting brainwashed into thinking they are not doing evil at their jobs. But I agree the movie went too far. Especially if you only see it as Youbut clips. The problem is that because they artificially collapse the real timeline in the movie and leave out details for the sake of drama, it is way too easy to see the firm as heros. The message got lost by editing for drama. The movie was too subtle for its own good.

[@ChristiantrospectiveGamer]

@@peterisawesomeplease No one sees the firm as heroes. Everyone who watches this sees this for what it is. How the wealthy stayed in power while bankrupting others. The entire film is unethical, up to and including Spacey not telling Irons to go f himself and walk out when he heard what he wanted to do. Integrity is something so few people have, especially in that industry. The people on the other end of the phone calls should have recognized the fire sale for what it was. No one should have fallen for that scumbaggery and they should have been left holding the bag and going belly up. But life happens. People lied and it cost most Americans everything.

[@WaterCrane]

Well, their careers were up in flames anyway because if they didn't sell everything no matter what, the firm would go under, as will most of Wall Street, for the foreseeable future. As Sam mentioned in the senior executives meeting, they would have to throw the traders a pretty big bone for them to do what they have to do so the company survives. At least despite their careers being destroyed, they have a one-off bonus to act as a cushion, which is better than nothing. It might be a greater evil to be a part of destroying the economy and knowingly giving your toxic assets to someone else, but it's the more pragmatic option.

They're not really extras, they're featured actors meaning they are recognizable, close to camera, and their on screen time is much longer than say someone in a crowd would be.

70% of the staff got laid of the day prior.. I don't think people were itching to push their luck.

[@peterisawesomeplease]

In the context of the movie this is not about the traders trying to maximize how much money they make in a tough situation. It is supposed to be about the traders doing something they know is unethical in exchange for being paid a ton euphemistically sold as making career choice.

[@JCPowerfull]

1.3 or 3 million, makes no difference, for the company just peanuts. Is you continue watching, they make a 140million loss on a single trade later on, and its OK...

A great movie. It moved into my best 10.

Haven't seen this movie. No idea what the plot is. All I know is Patrick Jane's sitting in the corner staring.

Oh course they do, that easy to figure out , The hard part is knowing if its a bubble or trend.

Garrett Jackson that much money definitely is not worth having my reputation destroyed forever. If it was in the tens of millions, then maybe lol

[@terrygallo8999]

Every one of them back then were living beyond their means

[@peterisawesomeplease]

This misses the point of the scene. The scene is not about choosing a high risk gutsy play instead of following the normal slow path. The scene is about choosing to do something unethical for the money. And even more to the point, it is about how easy it is reframe ethical choices as risk vs reward or reward vs reputation choices. But especially if you want this movie as KZbin clips this is totally lost on people.

[@WritersBlockWill]

Imagine that, instead of Kevin Spacey, if it were Alec Baldwin from Glengarry Glen Ross giving one of his "motivational" speeches. "As you all know, first prize is a one point four million dollar one-off bonus. Anybody want to see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. "

Different eras, different classes. Baldwin's is a lowly salesman from the 80s. Spacey's is blue blood executive from a Wall Street insitution in the 2000s.

[@nigelft]

Greg Stachurski Speaking of which, that reminds me of a comment made by some one who's username I can't remember, left the following, which garnered 2k+ likes, that went something like this ... 'Fuld:- Carmello ... get me Eric Dale here by 6:30 ... Carmello: It's done ... Fuld: And leave the gun. Take the cannoli ...' Weird how now, in hindsight, a comment based on a line from one of the greatest movies about the American Mafia should include a character played by actor, whom, by happenstance, was an actor in one of the greatest TV shows about the American Mafia ... Say Keanu Reeves would say ... whoa ...

Me either. May be a different scenario though being in the situation and knowing that if you don’t. That you and your colleagues are going to be out of a job, no salary, bonuses, pensions and broke. Capitalism is ruthless. There is better ways for it to work. But that wouldn’t happen in today’s world.
