"Speak as you might to a young child. Or a golden retriever." "Awww... who's a good boi? Whose CDOs are going into the toilet? Who's going to crash the whoooole global financial system? You are, you good boi!"
It’s actually because he’s deeply mentally ill so he has to remind himself what is happening repeatedly. That’s also why he says he cannot hear a thing. Usually there are voices (etc) but adrenaline makes them stop. He’s very similar to Jason Statham’s character in Crank and the director said he wanted this, to be a spiritual companion movie to Crank 2 “High Voltage” about Tuld’s metal illness being controlled by adrenaline (head) vs Statham (heart). In both movies they being chased by international gangsters metaophorcally or otherwise.
It's his way of cutting through the corporate management bullshit. He knows that they knew. And now he's been dragged in at 4AM with the senior partners to address a crisis. So when Peter looks at Sarah and Jared, and Tuld says that he's speaking to him, it's Tuld's way of keeping Peter focused as he knows he's a junior/associate and probably a little intimidated. Also, the way that Tuld looks over to Sarah and Jared when Peter continues says so much about him. He wants to see their reaction to what Peter is saying. Brilliant scene.
As a 30+ yr veteran in the financial industry at the highest level, and having faced the 2008 crisis and the Lehman meltdown head on, I can tell everyone that this scene, this movie, magnificently portrayed the reality, angst, and intellect of the participants. Just an incredible depiction of reality.
@@gemini7Sky That’s what perfection after years and years of classic stage acting looks like. Every sentence is on the spot, every gesture enriches the scene, every pause and sigh transports weight. To my opinion Jeremy Irons, Ian McKellen, Jack Nicholson and the late Richard Attenborough have been perfecting this particular art of screen presence like no one else. Throw them into literally any role and they will leave a lasting impression, that’s for sure.
That’s what’s known as a malaphor and I’ve heard it used as a power move - as in, they are in such a position of power compared to everyone else that they can butcher the English language and everyone else has to nod along and agree.
I am going to go nerd on you. First part “Don’t cry over spilt milk and second part “that’s water under the bridge”. My translation: They caught us and now we need to find a way out. During the actual financial crisis, There a reason why nobody of consequence got fired. They all got bonuses.
What is also interesting is that Tuld and John locked eyes a few times during Sullivan's explaination. Also shows that John has been around for awhile. Subtle moves which make this movie great.
When Tuld walked into that room he already knew what the problem was and what they were going to do to cope with it. He was just going through a charade of having someone else spell it out and get everyone on board with the next step. What he said, “It wasn’t brains that got me where I am.”he really was saying “It wasn’t JUST brains that got me where I am”.
I would say its more accurate he knew the broad strokes. This was about confirmation. Only an idiot executes his kind of plan without double checking. This was not some expert move that made him money. This was an expert move that cost him a ton of money and burned many bridges. But... saved him a ton of money.
Later in discussion between sarah and eric dale it became clear that executives were aware of the problem and continued their business. They decided it was time to cash out only after junior analyst like peter was able to figure it out. So this was not the first time they hearing about this problem
@@ЦэрэндоржЭрхэмбаяр Never thought of it that way, but makes perfect sense. If your junior analyst figured it out, it's only a matter of hours/days until the other big firms beat you to the liquidators.
Right on. It's just like a game of "The Price is Right", except Tuld eliminated doors 1 & 2 so egghead Jared would know to pick door #3, be first "sell it all today".
"Speak as you might to a young child. Or a golden retriever". This phase stuck with me because thats how we speak with our CEO when we are preparing proposals and we run by him. And it's not that he doesn't understand the proposals, it is just that our reasoning behind something that we put in might be overly technichal and take a long time to clarify and we want to avoid it.
The infamous P&G 1 page memo started with the purpose of the memo eg what action you should take. The rest of the memo, in descending order of importance, provided the rationale. If more than 1 page, re-write it.
This is the ulitmate acting masterclass from Irons - absoutely incredible. From the second he walks in the door - before he says a word, you just know he is THE man..... 😊😊
This is the greatest ever Boardroom scene from any film. Absolutely gripping - the entire film, with superb performances from many actors both well-known and not so.
The reason why the 1.2 Trillion was cut from the movie was because its too recognizable of a number. The firm in this movie is supposed to be a combination of Goldman Sachs and Lehmen Brothers. Goldman was the bank that first realized the problem and moved all their risks knowing they were trash, hence the Senate Hearing. And the corporate structure was based on Lehmen Brother. CEO Dick Fuld vs John Tuld. Erin Callan who was fired vs Sarah Robertson. Eric Dale vs Joe Gregory, who famously disappeared for 3 days after he was fired for fighting with Callahan. So anyways they didn't put in the 1.2 Trillion in my opinion because they don't want the audience automatically relate this firm to Lehman Brothers, since their total Salvagble asset at bankruptcy was $1.2 Trillion.
I wish this was Lehman, then I would still have my pension and stocks instead of sht. Erin Callan had a mental meltdown, dick fuld was an idiot sitting in his ivory tower at the end completely out of touch compared to the movie guy, none of the executives did anything or knew how to execute, and had their head in the sand just hoping the market will stabilize. It was a complete shtshow…this bank in the movie seemed way more competent than anything in reality. Even Goldman was a mess but they had way stronger risk management and got out, buffet’s injection didn’t hurt either.
The look on the Executive Assistant’s face as she’s walking towards her chair accurately sets the tone for the meeting and what’s about to happen to the company and the financial world.
I love that Irons makes himself seem stupid right off the bat. "Spilt milk under the bridge" is combining two idioms incorrectly. What a script, what a performance.
I think it’s intentional. He knows the idioms, but he’s mixing them to be humorous in a tense situation (very British), and also indicating that he’s powerful enough that he doesn’t care what people think.
Irons is magnificent in this film. The only person I can think of being this character is gene Hackman. Their voices with their gravitas and magnetism is what is the draw. Great actor Jeremy irons needs to be in everything lol. He made batman v superman worth a look
"Can you put this in just plain English with simple words that I can understand?" "I think I can, sir." "Well, let's hear it." "Okay, sir. In plain English, we're fu-ked!"
The only person’s hand he shook and acknowledged when he walked in the room, was the first person to stand up when he entered. Simple respect. These little details make scenes like this so believable.
Honestly, this has to be (at least part of, I wish this video went on a few more minutes) one of the greatest scenes in movie history-"Speak to me like you would a child or a golden retriever. It wasnt brains that got me here, I can assure you that."
As i am new into my management role i find it easier to focus on one person rather than speaking to a group of people. When he say "youre speaking to me" then i feel more relaxed than trying to speak to everyone else in that room.
The smirk and dead eyes after delivering a line like it wasn’t brains that got me here is so fkn RAW 🦈 Sharks are scary muthafockers when they in your presence!
And they know no bounds to get what they want… he will be safe with whatever comes of the company. It’s the people under him that will be losing their heads. I am an accountant.. I was laid off last month with a pregnant wife.. baby is due in June.. she cannot work as she is a migrant and needs permission from the government. It’s a long process. It’s been two years… but the due date.. it’s fast approaching. I needed that job more than you will ever know. I am filling out applications so fast I fear I am applying to more companies than are in the are looking to hire. :( this video is pure business. Business isnt evil it’s not caring. There is a difference there. Tomorrow is a knew week. Oh by the way me and my wife are hoping for the housing collapse. Me especially since I’m the bread winner here.. but I told her the last time that happened people killed themselves. People WALKED away from their houses. Becuase they were paying the bank a note on an asset that was 70% (give or take) less than it was worth. I’m hoping for that again. But it will be dark times… and maybe we won’t be so lucky.. we already have had “the biggest fraud cases” in history.. but with minimal to no repercussions. Not like the Lehman brothers collapse.. can someone explain to me what was the difference between that and the FTX.. I know there were a few other ones but just can’t think of them.
Jeremy Irons is unbelievably great here. A terrifying shark. I don't know how he dredged up this animal apex predator / alpha executive / silky-smooth killer, but it's one of those performances that's just bang-on perfect. And scary AF.
He knew what was up. Spacey's character already let slip in the prior board meeting that he (and Tucci's character) already knew there was funny business going on that they brought to Moore's character, which she subsequently blocked. 3:35 - 3:46 is the inflection point for the whole film - where Moore's character is giving him a look as if to say, "Don't say it, don't say it..." and Baker's character has this sort of look that is like "Spill it!"
Yup. That warning glare was Tulde saying, "I need the unvarnished truth from Mr Sullivan and you guys need to stop trying to intimidate this man. You're in enough trouble as it is."
The fact that Mr Tuld knows he has to find someone he has the most authority over and force them to tell him the truth tells you he knows most of his executives level people are constantly lying to him. Which is why he is so ready to believe that the company is actually about to go bankrupt.
I like how the boss gives the other managers a side eye after saying "You're speaking to me Mr. Sullivan" Cause he knows his managers are giving Sullivan the look for giving an honest answer, So he wants them to stop intimidating him.
*The Boss entering the chess competition* ‘I made the rules and I carved the pieces. What is up to you is merely decide in which order the pieces will fall’.
Viewing journal, viewing #10,672. In this viewing I will simply be replaying the moment when Jeremy Irons says the word ‘here’ and draws out that last syllable in a velvet purr.
The contrast between "Speak as you might to a young child. Or a golden retriever," and later "You're speaking with me, Mr. Sullivan," shows everyone in the room that he is in complete control of the meeting, regardless of the conversation.
The look he gives to his right after "Your speaking with me Mr Sullivan" is the only mean look he gives in the whole scene. Looking presumably at Jared and Sarah.
Oh, man, I've been in similar situations before when my boss left me hanging in the breeze when the CEO asked me point blank why he was just finding out now why our budget projections were off so much. I gave him the honest answer to which my boss silently glared at me. She reamed me out afterwards in her office when the CEO walked by poked his head in and thanked me then asked me to take "another look at the numbers" and to personally get back to him in two days. The message being he could no longer trust my boss for direct answers in difficult meetings. And that pissed her off even more. LOL
If Mr. Tuld is paid "the big bucks" just to perceive "when the music stops" why did he not perceive the "just...silence" BEFORE Peter explicitly reported the dire situation with the MBS products??? (portrayed so well by Jeremy Irons)
This fearless leader, you know Dracula's older brother, if on a bright, beautiful summer's day you saw him walking toward you in a park filled with people ...if you saw that you'd leap up in terror and run the other way.
Yes, he doesn’t cheat but being first by being smart unfortunately as it’s always been look after number one, I am truly principled and with a lot of my life they actually perceive it as a weakness. Once you know that’s who you’re dealing with hit them hard hit them low, no mercy, no forgiveness and wish them hell and damnation.
I have seen this scene more than a few times and just realized they all stood up like he was the president when he walked in. Yes I realize he is the CEO. Still that is weird to me. Do business people at that level really do that? Odd.
"No sugarcoating, do not change a word of it. No one here is smart enough, even the rocket scientist." There's a scene before this where Jared tells the traders not to sugarcoat anything in the meeting with CEO Tuld.
Well in this case it puts him in a position of authority. Literally above everyone else. What he's essentially saying is: "you understand the problem, we need to have it explained to us."
Ah yes, classic movie clips without irritating overdubbed music at a volume so high you can't hear the actors nor annoying and irritatingly incorrect subtitles right in the middle of the screen. This is the before times. Cherish it.
While I agree this is a masterclass piece, most of us experience meetings similar to this on a daily basis so I wouldn’t call us “simpleton” but individuals who are empathetic to the scenario.

Then walk up to him and start scratching him under his chin. "who's a good boi..."
Fired, you're FIIIRREEDDD
“You are speaking with me Mr. Sullivan”… such raw power in that line… showing who’s the boss
Plus the epic side eye to the other two…
It is in a way showing support to Sullivan as well, like don’t worry about getting in trouble with those guys, fuck them.

I dont know how many times I watched this scene. Perfect, without any music.

😂 "Spilt milk under the bridge." Why do executives do this? I knew a CEO who would say "It's not rocket surgery" and "that train has sailed."
its not rocket scientry is what my boss used to say 20 years ago.

Same reason nobody ever told mike tysin he talks funny. Who is going to correct him
John is the only person that is personally acknowledged (by name ) and gets a firm handshake from Tuld.. You know this chap has serious muscle..
Senior senior partner.
What is also interesting is that Tuld and John locked eyes a few times during Sullivan's explaination. Also shows that John has been around for awhile. Subtle moves which make this movie great.
He's also the first person to stand up when Tuld enters the room.
Reckon he's the company chairman - the only person who is arguably more senior than the CEO.
They probably hung out at the island together

@@seanwebb605 Is that true? Really cool if so - good on Irons for playing into it.
Its best meeting scene ever in history of movies. Period.
How many did you see among the "history of movies" to claim that?

Great observation. and comment
Jeremy Irons is unbelievably great here. A terrifying shark. I don't know how he dredged up this animal apex predator / alpha executive / silky-smooth killer, but it's one of those performances that's just bang-on perfect. And scary AF.
This scene is absolutely, 100% brilliant.
The two scenes with Jeremy Irons in are electric, the end scene in the restaurant is epic.
that one look to the risk department at 3:46 no words needed when you are a true boss
He knew what was up. Spacey's character already let slip in the prior board meeting that he (and Tucci's character) already knew there was funny business going on that they brought to Moore's character, which she subsequently blocked.
3:35 - 3:46 is the inflection point for the whole film - where Moore's character is giving him a look as if to say, "Don't say it, don't say it..." and Baker's character has this sort of look that is like "Spill it!"
Yup. That warning glare was Tulde saying, "I need the unvarnished truth from Mr Sullivan and you guys need to stop trying to intimidate this man. You're in enough trouble as it is."
A master class in acting by the great Jeremy Irons
I love the cutting look he gives the other two!
One of my favorite scenes in the movie.
Jeremy Irons gives such a commanding performance as Tuld, the chief puppeteer of the organization.
Me taking over from my dad at the helm of the family company
"It wasn't brains that got me here, I can assure you that"
He knew everything that he was being told already, and he knew the solution! The explanation was for the board not him!
Everytime I saw Jeremy Iron it reminded me how the academy award robbed him his oscar in dead ringer!
A Golden Retriever... oh. "Good boy, you're such a Good Boy, Good Boy!... go get it, FETCH!"
This is one of my favorite scenes in all of film
The cast is incredible.
-Now,i dont cheat!
-Litteraly cheats millions of people next day 🤣🤣
You don’t need to understand a word of what they said to know how dire the situation is.
What a fantastic cast this is.
I worked for the company (on a contract) that was putting those MBS's together. What the guy says is actually true.
The fact that Mr Tuld knows he has to find someone he has the most authority over and force them to tell him the truth tells you he knows most of his executives level people are constantly lying to him. Which is why he is so ready to believe that the company is actually about to go bankrupt.
Jeremy Iron is acting perfection in this scene, although i keep expecting him to say ‘I killed Mufasa’
I like how the boss gives the other managers a side eye after saying "You're speaking to me Mr. Sullivan"
Cause he knows his managers are giving Sullivan the look for giving an honest answer, So he wants them to stop intimidating him.
So much truth here. I find myself raising a bourbon glass to this masterpiece far too often.
Watch this twice a week. Amazing 😍
‘But that is spilt milk under the bridge.’ Love it.
Irons devours every bit of scenery here. The boss has arrived, a chess master amongst checkers players.
*The Boss entering the chess competition* ‘I made the rules and I carved the pieces. What is up to you is merely decide in which order the pieces will fall’.
totally agree. Jeremy Irons is mesmerizing.
Jeremy can easily play a world 🌎 leader/king etc
What a cast! Brilliant acting in every scene
Viewing journal, viewing #10,672. In this viewing I will simply be replaying the moment when Jeremy Irons says the word ‘here’ and draws out that last syllable in a velvet purr.
"Spilt milk under the bridge"... I love it when people mix idioms..... and classically executed by Mr Irons/Tuld
At least in 1929 they had the decency to jump out the nearest window when they learned what they’d done.
The contrast between "Speak as you might to a young child. Or a golden retriever," and later "You're speaking with me, Mr. Sullivan," shows everyone in the room that he is in complete control of the meeting, regardless of the conversation.
I love this movie and this is a great scene. Jeremy Irons is wonderful in it
The look he gives to his right after "Your speaking with me Mr Sullivan" is the only mean look he gives in the whole scene. Looking presumably at Jared and Sarah.
That look over at Demi Moores character was the moment, she no longer worked at the firm.
This movie is intense! The tension is palpable, and the danger feels real even without knowing all the details.
Oh, man, I've been in similar situations before when my boss left me hanging in the breeze when the CEO asked me point blank why he was just finding out now why our budget projections were off so much. I gave him the honest answer to which my boss silently glared at me. She reamed me out afterwards in her office when the CEO walked by poked his head in and thanked me then asked me to take "another look at the numbers" and to personally get back to him in two days.

If Mr. Tuld is paid "the big bucks" just to perceive "when the music stops" why did he not perceive the "just...silence" BEFORE Peter explicitly reported the dire situation with the MBS products??? (portrayed so well by Jeremy Irons)
One of the most thrilling scenes in movie history.
great movie... best of the 2008 crash movies (big short, too big to fail) being the others.
Great acting, amazing cast and great story and adaptation.
Jeremy Irons masterclass in acting...be in a movie for less than ten minutes and steal it !!
Brilliant dialogue. Great movie.
Just git fine watching this movie last week. Pleasant surprise. Great acting and movie!
Split milk under the bridge. lol

This fearless leader, you know Dracula's older brother, if on a bright, beautiful summer's day you saw him walking toward you in a park filled with people ...if you saw that you'd leap up in terror and run the other way.
Irons has smile on face.
Firm is bankrupt.
Billions in losses.
Thousands laid off.
Why the big ass grin?
1:10 that little wave back as he was addressed I love it
Yes, he doesn’t cheat but being first by being smart unfortunately as it’s always been look after number one, I am truly principled and with a lot of my life they actually perceive it as a weakness. Once you know that’s who you’re dealing with hit them hard hit them low, no mercy, no forgiveness and wish them hell and damnation.
So . . I own a Dollar I will be losing 2 Dollars?
I’m ashamed to admit I have voluntarily looked up for this video a fuck ton
1:22 That fingers movement murdering the report 😄
I have seen this scene more than a few times and just realized they all stood up like he was the president when he walked in. Yes I realize he is the CEO. Still that is weird to me. Do business people at that level really do that? Odd.
It’s just polite to stand when someone enters a room, a client for example. You wouldn’t greet someone important whilst seated.
It makes perfect sense. Also, it makes falling on one’s knees easier.
I hope they had a good meeting
And so the fire sale begins .....
What a late night meeting .... I wonder if they even needed coffee to stay awake ....
this movie and Big Short are so good
"No sugarcoating, do not change a word of it. No one here is smart enough, even the rocket scientist."
There's a scene before this where Jared tells the traders not to sugarcoat anything in the meeting with CEO Tuld.
Beggg, for Jeremy's mercy ...actors 🎈
Solid acting rare for a Hollywood movie now. Current movies have all Cool J trying to do Shakespeare.
2:15 Oh, so this is why people think I’m bossy when I ask them why they haven’t done their fucking job 😃
I like that the boss is the only one not wearing a tailored suit.
I have the DVD. One of my more enjoyed recordings. Shades of Poor Richard, don't you think?
“Relax” then asks him to stand up in front of everyone 😳
Well in this case it puts him in a position of authority. Literally above everyone else.
What he's essentially saying is: "you understand the problem, we need to have it explained to us."
@@elonwhateverand even better: everyone, especially Tuld, knew exactly what was in the report. Tuld just needed to rub it in with the rest of his team
@@Coren999He mostly needed to confirm that someone else had put the pieces together and that the party was indeed over.
@@elonwhateverNo, oh no 😄 That’s putting somebody on the spot.
Ah yes, classic movie clips without irritating overdubbed music at a volume so high you can't hear the actors nor annoying and irritatingly incorrect subtitles right in the middle of the screen.
This is the before times. Cherish it.
Imagine the repercussions if anyone went out and bought put options before the meeting or shorted the futures
I has actually been in a situation recently when a boss said "please explain this to me as if i was a four year old"
Who is watching this movie on 5th August 2024, when japan crashed 11% in one trading session ?
Sleeper Cult Classic right here
Me and my siblings when my moms on her way home and the house isn’t clean.
This is a masterclass in how to write a complicated subject for a simpleton audience.
While I agree this is a masterclass piece, most of us experience meetings similar to this on a daily basis so I wouldn’t call us “simpleton” but individuals who are empathetic to the scenario.
Tremendous movie, saw it the other day in lieu of our beloved mmtlp
You didnt even upload the whole thing
0:40 I always listen for his little growl at the end of "heerrrre".
Yes, so delightful. The apex making himself known.
Ozymandias was playing them. It's all going according to his plan.
