- "You smell that? What is that?..."
"Your cologne?" "No"
"Opportunity"
"No. Money"
Danny Moses, Vinny Daniel, Porter Collins, and Mark Baum (based on Steve Eisman) decide to meet with Vennett to listen to his sales pitch: Credit Default Swap on Mortgage Backed Bonds and his illustration of Collateralized Debt Obligations.
"I can't hate him. He is so transparent in his self-interest that I kind of respect him"
"Would I like to buy a car for him? NO"
Accurate line
The ability to separate a personality from the message is important in life.
@@BigstickNick no way putting it better fam. This skill comes with real maturity.
The dialog in this movie is beautifully crafted.
"I'm standing in front of a burning house, and I'm offering you fire insurance on it!" I love that quote
It was an absolutely perfect metaphor for the credit default swap!! This stuff is immensely complex stuff to understand, especially in a movie format. Despite being a BRILLIANT dark-comedy/drama…. The writers deserve Oscars for writing in such a way as to educate their audience MID STORY… and MID-LAUGH… it’s honestly a bit baffling how they managed to do that.
Reminds me a bit of the Murray Rothbard quote talking about FDIC insurance being like insuring the Titanic after it hits the iceberg
The way that guy said "Opportunity" always kills me 💀
Goddamn it Chris
My favorite part of it is how Vennett looks back at his assistant like an idiot, goes no, MONEY, then does his pitch and goes ‘there, my friends, is an opportunity’
"As in Helsinki, Sweden."
"Finland"
“That’s pretty racist” gets me every time.
Look at his eyes!
He doesn‘t even speak english!
haha
It's not funny
So amazing.
He's practicing his "what's that smell" lines while he's looking out the window before they all come in 😂
😂😂😂😂 nice catch
"I can't hate him, he's so transparent in his self interest that I kind of respect him."
I love this line lol
Would I buy a car from him, no 😂
It's why I somewhat respect Republicans and hate democrats, even though I wish all politicians death
@@bjornyesterday2562 - Nah that's true though. A person can KNOW that Republicans are monstrous, greedy, racists & fascists.... but the Democrats are worse, cuz they love to pretend like they aren't any of those things, but ARE. So they're slimey & sneaky about it is all. And who can respect that??
I avoid putting my trust in EITHER party, cuz neither one gives 2 sh*ts about the average American. 😒🇺🇲🚫 I can't wait til it ALL comes crashing down. It's the only thing which will finally be the "Great Equalizer". I can't wait til all those crooks on Wall Street gotta beg & labor for their resources JUST LIKE THE REST OF US.
@@KabbalahSherry I just like reading how some politicians will talk to local areas and claim credit for a bill that passed, but they had voted against it federally. Fun part is to count how many times it occurs in Democrats and Republicans.
Anyone else do this? (I'm not saying which might do it more often, so everyone can do their own research)
@@goodsleepasmr4566 This line has made me wonder the kind of man that Mark Baum would buy a car from.
One of my favourite scenes in film. Especially "Thank you." "Fucking A, Jared." "Shut your fucking mouth.". Kills me every time lol.
literally my boss speaking to me at work.
The guy who plays Gosling's assistant originally had no lines but their chemistry was so good on set he was allowed to improvise.
@@FeatherRuffler His reactions to the pitch in the background are so great, just smiling and nodding along with no idea what's going on. A big, dumb, happy golden retriever.
I believe Chris explained that whole thing to Jared and that's why he said "you're too close", as if that was a congratulating gesture from his part. Amazing script.
I must've seen this scene 20 times. How do you write a two hour script where every line is an absolute banger? It's incredible.
It's so funny the way Jared is just openly antagonistic to the people he's selling to in their own office
Good source material always helps. And this one is helped by a lot of it being actual events.
That's because Kendall Roy is there, his stuff is banger all the time.
How can every line in a script sound this way? It’s simple….go have lunch with a wall street broker every day for a week. As someone else in the comments posted. We’ve a good source of material here in the good old USA.
“Take a seat” he says while standing in THEIR office. Love it.
never noticed that good point 😮
that's the only way to do it man... .dominance
@@wockyxo1335 it is a good way to show the type of sales person he is. It's why he lies about the Chinese guy and why his other co-worker gets shushed
it's like sitting down in the CEO's chair and putting your feet up on the desk
I just noticed that. You are spot on.
The way he grins when he says "opportunity" makes me crack up every time.
So much confidence 😂
HAHAHAHA his confidence 😂
Fucking aye Jared :D
No. Money. We smell money. Chris. Goddammit
@@IamSamSammIam "Shut your Fuckin Month" Dude's a dick to him lol
"Jared likes to say I don't because it makes me seem more authentic." 😂 always love that part.
That actor brilliantly sold the transition from "confused foreigner surrounded by gibberish" to "normal dude just playing along".
The way he adjusts his glasses TWICE in about 5 seconds is so subtle but hilarious
In a movie full of cheap celebrity drop-ins, 4th wall breaking and talking directly to the camera, and all sorts of quick ways to explain things to the audience, this is by far their most brilliant scene in explaining a complex concept with perfect clarity.
Could you elaborate on it
In the wake if the savings and loan crisis of the 1980s and 1990s, P.J. O'Rourke had a piece in Rolling Stone explaining how the S&L's pumped up their balance sheets by swapping properties back and forth, increasing their paper value and then borrowing against those bogus inflated values when the collateral wasn't worth what had been borrowed. It turned what seemed to be an incomprehensible situation into a depressingly obvious scam.
While Adam McKay is a complete hypocrite by virtue of the fact he fully supports all the liberal politicians who protected the banks from regulation (like Barney Frank and Chris Dodd) which allowed for the 2008 Crash in the wake of the Democrat takeover of Congress in 2006, he does a good job here explaining what a house of cards and literal casino our financial system is as in the sidebar scene with Selena Gomez.
@@Pro_Vaxxer Say you have a brother-in-law, Teddy. He drinks all the time AND he is a horrible driver.
You and I both know he is gonna wreck his car going home.
So, sitting in the bar one night, you say .... GUYS, Teddy bought himself a Camaro, I know he is gonna wreck it. Too much car for him and he drinks a lot.
Thinking about it the next day YOU decide to go get Insurence on Teddy's Camaro ..that insurence will PAY TO YOU when he wrecks it.
THAT^^ is a CDS, Credit Default Swap
Show here the Jenga pieces in B A AA etc .... just different guys in different cars, the B guys drink way more than the AAA drivers.
@@Pro_Vaxxer he’s basically saying he can appreciate how they use celebrity appearances explaining the complex business parts in simple terms using something analogous like fish. He can also appreciate the breaking of the fourth wall. This is shown when the mathematician turns and talks to the camera. This is referred to as the breaking of the fourth wall. All and all, this movie had great methods and did a very good job explaining complex financial topics in a simple manner.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊p
First you think: "Okay, this movie is a comedy." Then you think: "Okay, it's a dramedy." Then you think: "Okay, it's a horror story."
Like when the stripper tells him she owns 6 houses.... Sorry, 5 houses, and a condo.
Some of the best films in history start off as one genre and end up as another.
And then when it's all over and they roll the credits, it hits you: it's a documentary based on a true story...
And a true story.
No it is the motherfucking life
"That's my quant. Look at him." Kills me every time.
"Your what?"
"MY QUANTITATIVE"
The first time I watched it I thought he said, "That's Mike Kwan."
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk..true !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk...
why they do hired the 2nd winner math competition instead of 1st winner ?
@@ivanoov3285 Because the 1st winner doesn't even speak english.
7:00
His "assistant Chris" was the pulled from 100 extras to feed Ryan his lines.
Their chemistry was so good, he was cast in the part.
“That’s not what this is. That’s just how Mark is” is such a smart, telling line that kind of tells us everything about both those characters.
Ryan Gosling is so amazing in this scene. The way he delivers the words is perfect.
The whole movie don't you think. It's his movie
From sing along songs at Titan's football camp to throwing jenga blocks and dropping the s-word.
But they call him chicken little
Mad I missed this in the theatre
He’s British right?
*Michael Scott sure looks and acts differently when he joins corporate*
YES
He took Jans job after Ryan was fired
So does Brick Tamland.
That's what she said 😂....
he's good tho
7:06 I love how Vinnie looks stone-faced the whole movie, making occasional sarcastic wisecracks and insults towards his co-workers, but after Jared explains CDOs and how they are all a fraud, and how the government and banks are asleep at the wheel, there is a look of complete terror and sadness in his eyes.
Jeremy Strong is an incredible actor.
Too much gum chewing, takes focus away from the acting, unfortunately.
he,s good in molly,s game
@@Dumledaj The gum chewing is part of the body language. Like a major league coach...all stressed out. and cocky
I wish he had the same attitude while portraiting Kendall Roy
@@Dumledajit shows the nervousness lmao u know nothing
The fact that Chris was not supposed to have any lines, but had such great chemistry with Ryan Gosling, they let them improvise.
I feel like I understood this movie, but in a much more real sense I didn't understand it at all.
MRVEGAS big facts
I had to watch it twice with reading a couple books on economics to understand lmao
I was just appreciating the acting and dialogue. Pretty much 99% of the film was perplexing to me.
Read the book, trust me. It opened my eyes over what actually happened
Tranche is an interesting word I remember from this movie.
Never before have I loved a movie so much, yet left so damn angry.
You should be hopeful. Because there is a way to make money off of these fools that thought they could outsmart greed.
I would suggest UVXY for a falling market. It
Absolutely. We walked out of the theater thinking we'd seen an excellent movie and feeling kind of down because of the reality of its message.
Gone Girl made me mad for days
Brandon Karratti masterpiece
Except that the only people that made money were assholes and the only people that were held accountable for the entire thing happening was nobody and because the government bailed them out they still got their bonuses and all the regular people ate shit. Absolutely nothing has changed. It will happen again and again until it's as common as mass shootings.
I keep coming back to watch this scene over and over. Such a classic
When Ryan Gosling mentioned what a CDO was again, stating that it's what turned the housing crisis into a nationwide disaster, you can hear his voice sounding broken and sad at the end of each sentence. He's capturing the devastation this whole event caused, just masterful acting from him.
I like when he brings up the race of his quant :P
@@scorch4299 that has nothing to do with what they said
I mean, if he's playing the part of Jared, then he wouldn't felt anything at all. He just smell money
he has small lungs, got out of breath
"So somehow you're.. like.. the Dora the Explorer and you're the first person who has found this thing..."
Lmaoo
😂😂😂😂
So underrated
But it was Burry who found it first sooo, burry is dora the explorer.
Had me laughing a good min 🤣
I swear that asian guy looks like a different person when he actually talks.
Wildfire right?
@@n74jw How are you verified?
I think it's the expression he was making when he got caught off guard, he opened his eyes wider and then when he turned around in his chair and face the camera he was more relaxed.
It's on purpose to help dissociate the audience. He turns and talks directly to the audience as a narrator and leaves the scene, and a hairstyle change helps express that shift.
@@cleanpiss seriously wtf i want to get verified
“My whole Departments Long on this stuff. They call me chicken little, bubble boy.” I love this line, it’s actually perfect in every way. Fading his coworkers and the “The Sky’s falling” chicken little reference. So funny.
I’ve rewatched this so many times since I’ve seen in the theaters and I love it every single time
this is a movie worth watching two or three times, to really take in all the great dialogue
I’ve watched it numerous times and I can’t get enough of the dialogue it’s so well written.
I watched it more than a dozen times and it never gets boring.
Never gets boring. I have watched this probably 10/15 times.
"He doesn't even speak English!"
I had to watch it at least 3 times to grasp most of it.
The way Ryan Gosling hits the name "Yang" is spectacular
OMG THANK YOU!!!
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED THAT DETAIL AND HOW AWESOME HE NAILS IT!!!
"His name's YANG!" 😂😂😂😂😂
totally bro
Also the expression on his face after he says it is perfect lmao
@@killapositionz2 yeah like "DONT YOU GET IT"
Andrew YANG!
When Jung turned around and said he actually speaks English with a solid American accent 😆 🤣
Vinny is the best character in the movie. His lines and timing are perfect.
Yes! I love so much about this movie. But especially when Vennett is ranting about the bonds he's seen with FICO scores below 550.
Vinny: Get the fuck outta here.
Vennett: Want me to really blow your mind?
Hahaha!!! Favorite exchange in the movie.
Fun fact: Jared's assistant Chris was just an extra on set but they noticed the chemistry between him and Ryan Gosling behind the scenes so they wrote him that role of the assistant
EDIT: given how many people are doubting what I said, the source is a producer who said it an interview.
Fuckin' A Jared
@@supermario183 Sorry, there was just this weird smell.... Opportunity ;)
A more FUN FACT. Joe Biden is about to make this look like some gum on your shoe.
@@isorokudono are you high on something?
@@medilyesoudhini7411 I'm high on all the things
this entire film from start to finish was genius in literally every single filmmaking aspect, planned with precision and perfection + the acting was just as excellent as the dialogue! 10/10 film
The man isn't telling a lie, this movie was good
Should've won best picture
You can seriously catch so many little things with each rewatch. It really is brilliant.
its good movie i watched
well not hard to make movie out of shit that happened for real XD
I read somewhere that Jared's assistant was just an extra who got along really well with Gosling so they gave him some lines. Perfect backup for the alpha.
The "have a seat" at the beginning just sets the tone haha, I really laugh about that one
he is so transparent in his self interest that I kind of respect him lol
That's a whole new level right there.
It's awkward to admit but I've earned more respect that way myself.
It’s because he’s honest. He lays it right out what he wants and why, so while you may not like what he is doing, you can deal with him.
The key to being successful at this is not having bad intentions because if you admit what you're doing and you're doing it with ill intent people won't respect you. He's just trying to make money off other people's fuck ups which isn't evil so they like his transparency
i dont respect people who have no self interest. They are liars, hypocrites or mentally ill. The more transparent about what you want you are, the more trust i can put in you. If you go "i do it for the children" you are a psychopath that aims for WW3 as far as i know.
"Fuckin a Jared"
"Shut your fucking mouth"
Gets me everytime

''You're too close to me''

what does it mean?
Ever so often this clip gets suggested in my feed. I watch it everytime
Yeah everytime I just noticed I do that too.
This scene in of itself should win an oscar
"This is my Math Specialist ! Notice anything different about him ? Look at his face ! Look at his eyes !"
Steve Carrell : *softly* "That's very racist..." LMAOOOO
Ok this is definitely racist but of the 7 guys in that room and if u were to ask me which 1 was good at math; i know which 1 I would pick.
First time I saw the movie I thought he said Mike Kwant lol
Michael Scott finally took Diversity Day seriously
@@reginaldshort8486
"I know wich 1 I would pick"
oh my God! that is *so* racist!!
as a person of color I'm *so* like totally offended ☻
and he didn't even say "look at his eyes" yet 😃☻🥳
"Big bank, small bank, I like to make money. Alright?"
That little tremble in his voice as he says alright just gets me for some reason. Absolutely love his performance.
Yeah right? Sharp fucking deliveries - with all the nuances.
His has mannerism of a true salesman.
At least he is being honest :)
He really did BECOME the man he was playing. Down to even the minor verbal ticks. My other favorite moment of his besides this scene is near the end, in the bathroom when he shouts, "I'm jacked... I'm jacked TO THE TITS!"
Apparently, the line was just, "I'm so jacked!"
But when he forgot to say the "so" part, instead of redoing the whole take, he just ad-libbed that "TO THE TITS" part and one of the film's funniest lines was born.
@@CERTAIND00M lovely trivia, right there. Also love his depiction of his morning routine🤣 him and Carrell have great chemistry.
My favourite part is Mark's reaction to what a CDO is like he just heard the dumbest thing that had ever been said and needed to hear again just to confirm it.
Mark is like: 🤯 😵💫😡
"And then that happens"
"What, is that?"
"Thats America's Housing Market"
I unironically got chills
That's the line that makes me tell people that this is low-key a horror movie.
FOKEN A JARED
“That’s a nice shirt do they make it for men?” such a random and funny roast 😂
lol it was so random
Lol yea
Best come back for that line is always -“Why? You shop on the women’s department?” LOL
I would reply "are you gonna get one for your husband"
Its funny but hardly random
One of the hardest things to do in a script is an exposition dump: you drop a ton of information on the audience's lap so they can understand what's going on. This scene is one of the best exposition dump scenes I've ever seen. It's entertaining, but it's also making very difficult concepts and business jargon accessible to people who don't know anything about the housing market, all while keeping an awesome pace and letting these characters develop. Incredibly well written, brilliantly directed and acted!
Wow i cant believe you know what exposition means
@@bobsauce9840 what a fantastic comment! really brings the room together.
Having Anthony Bourdain helps too :p
I prefer when Scorcese just has one of his characters narrate that shit to me.
I've actually been trying to figure out if there was a term for this type of thing for quite a while now. I always notice in movies when information is presented in a way to make the audience understand. Thanks for the tip.
The part in the beginning with Gosling talking to himself at the window makes me laugh . It's low key hilarious. Also the way he says yeah that's right is def homage to the honest mechanic in Seinfeld
"That's a nice shirt. Do they make it for men?"
Rapier quick, and dead pan.
I cried. 😂🤣😭
Ryan Gosling's comedic timing and deadpan line delivery is so good, even the actors can't help but smile. "Lets not talk about my margins, being nice and fat. That's a nice shirt, do they make it for men? "

He was great on SNL too especially the alien abduction skit with Kate McKinnon as Ms Rafferty!
It's cuz he's jacked, man. He's jacked to the TITS!
I like how he constantly berates his assistant. That subtle “Goddamnit” at 1:07 shows that he’s in a continuous state of irritation with him.
“Fuckin ay Jared” “Shut your fuckin mouth”
Chris is my favourite character in this film
The whispered "Goddamnit" gets me every time
"You're too close"
@@Highznberg I love that line :)
I worked for RBS in 2008. I lived this at the time and will never forget it.
There's too many good lines in this scene, but the abrupt "You're too close" always cracks me up. The hushed, off screen lines just add so much.
"They call me Bubble-Boy"
Best line of the movie.
"Yhihiyouownaboa... So how many of these are aah adjustable rate mortages" is the best line by far.

"I'll give you a hint...his name's YANG!" The delivery of that line was perfect
This is such an underrated movie. Really should be talked about more. Star studded cast, great script, based on one of the most important times in recent American history
The way that actor delivers that "Opportunity" line gets me every time.
SandraSaysStuff He actually was picked by Ryan Gosling to play a little part in the film because he was a background actor.
I know right? Every time I've watched that scene I've noticed how smoothly he plays it. I couldn't do it even after practicing.
No, MANI.
the way he looks away and swallows all sad after jared is like "shut your fuckin' mouth." is wonderful.
Also the tiny little zoom in to him when he says "Opportunity" is great. Very subtle.
THE "Im standing in front of a burning house, and I'm offering you fire insurance on it" LINE MAKES ME LAUGH SO FRCKING HARD. It's so funny cus he's not offering the firemen, not the police, not water, but just insurance. Let the house burn.
I mean the crisis was already unfolding there wasn't much they could have done to stop it at that point. All they could do was bet intelligently on the outcome
It's a good analogy though. Banks don't deal in solutions, they deal in stuff that makes them money, like stocks, options and insurance bonds.
Not just fire insurance, but offering a 50 to 1 bet that it burns down over the next couple of days.
well THAT's capitalism
well, because the analogy wouldn't make sense if he offered firemen, police or water... He's not offering to save the housing market, he can't, he's offering a way to profit from its collapse...
One of the great "board room meetings." A match for the board room crisis meeting in Margin Call, another great financial crisis movie.
Love how a couple of the actors were trying not to laugh at Gosling's comments.
Reddit: “And we took that personally”
Payback
@Cat Egorical aha?
@Cat Egorical now it's not.
Edit: hah, coward deleted their comment.

" Hey that's a nice shirt, do they make it for men ? " . That was gold.
kerk tp Is the shirt particularly feminine?
kerk tp what does Jared try to say here? Is it a pun? I'm not getting this
Nope. It's just plain in your-face mocking. It doesn't matter if his shirt is girly or not....everyone will see it like that because the joke it's too good not to take like that.
i love how he has no problem straight up roasting vinny without hesitation while he's the one trying to make a sales pitch to them
Best part is, Vinny doesn't shake.
I've already got this movie lined up for Halloween night. It's my all-time favorite horror story.
This is such a good fucking movie. Its so good in fact that i keep coming back to watch clips of it and it doesnt get old. The acting and script are almost second to none.
"Every loser with a couple million bucks is gonna be jumping on this" And then they cut to the Brownfield Fund guys 😂so well done
Brownfield; oof, setting themselves up with that name

I wish I was a loser with a couple million bucks.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Exactly!!!
@@elloowu6293 True in real life, too. The actual name was Cornwall Capital, which means - if the scene where Charlie says, "They call us Brownhole Capital" is based on fact - they really got called "Cornhole Capital." Like you said, they just set themselves up.
It's amazing how Mark goes from this point "I want him to be right" just to screw over the bank to "Oh god he's right" as the reality dawns on him.
That's when he realized, whole world's economy is gonna collapse

And it's only gotten worse. Most people are blind to the incoming shitstorm about to hit...
But this is obviously what the people want! They vote for this sh*t every time; they buy into every war, they back the ruling establishment at every turn, they empower their oppressors, they buy the corporate media narrative on every issue, and then, whenever the inevitable results of their apathy become apparent, they play dumb and whine about how the “working folk” are getting screwed. Please - you get exactly the government you all deserve.

" the whores at the credit agencies..." I love that line-so true so true. And I like the chicken little line and they call me bubble boy. The script, the acting was absolutely awesome-the scriptwriter- I hope won an award--BRILLIANT. GENIUS
I hear horror. “And the horrors of the rating agencies…”
I need to re-watch this movie, again. So good! Also, RIP Anthony Bourdain.. 🙏
"Every loser with a couple million bucks in a fund.." that line always makes me laugh.
Man, if a dude with A COUPLE OF MILLIONS in a fund is getting called “loser” I’m worst than a loser 😂
@@santrollencio3601 The asset managers and hedge funds are measuring their AUM in hundreds of millions (for small timers) or billions in larger funds.
I think he said "and a fund", i.e. a fund manager with a few million AUM, in today's (albeit admittedly not so much back then), market thats barely a drop in the bucket and such a small fund will go under within a few months in like 99% of cases. Also back then money was sooooo easy to come by, you really were a loser if you could only get a few sticks even as a start up fund. Remember even back then, if you had $10m AUM you likely didnt make more than $200k a year, which for finance guys in NYC is pretty bad.
pretty sure the next scene were the 2 brownfield fund guys lol
Me too, wish i was a loser lmao
"Let's get on this quickly too. Because if he's right, every loser with a couple million bucks in a fund is gonna be jumping on this." One of my favourite lines in the film.

It's true though - have to be agile in such bubble moments. If you think about the Crypto/post lockdown bubble, you could have really capped it at the top and then bought when it crashed. Y2k all over again

"The banks have given us 25% interest rates on credit cards. They have screwed us on student loans that we can never get out from under.

" Great performance from Steve Carrell
No, they want you to use your college education to be even smarter. The constitution says, "Credit of the United States". Ultimately all money borrowed is based on U.S. credit not your own. That's why Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are SPE's. They just need you to be breathing. The collapse proves that.
I'm don't live in the US but I don't understand why everybody over there uses credit cards for everything if it's that expensive. Why not just use a debit card?
ROGUEJOURNALIST You only pay interest on a credit card if you don't pay off your monthly balance. As for why credit over debit, credit cards have much better fraud protection than debit cards do. If someone steals your credit card you'll be able to get the charges removed. Credit cards also offer perks like cash back or airline miles.
Debit cards don't help your credit score. Credit cards only hurt you if you don't pay the full balance every month.
Mike Reed so you use credit cards to get a better credit rating?
I would pay 2x the price of a movie ticket, to see a 4 hour movie that just stars Vinny and Jared.
Gosling knocks it out of the park with the Vennett character.
Mark is a nice counterbalance with Jared too. "Im jacked to the tits! Can you fell it?" "No."
Let's see how much gum Vinny can chew while we see how jacked to the TITS Jared can get.
Plus Chris for Jared to have to constantly berate.
get the fuck out of here
“Let’s be friends, don’t bullshit me…you’re gonna say no, aren’t ya?” 😂
If the intention was to make a scene based on one of the most boring topics into one of the best movie scenes in history… then I’d say mission accomplished. The characters, the delivery and the whole dynamic was perfection. You can’t recreate this, it’s just too perfect.
Idk if it's boring. The concept of it maybe, but the crisis itself is absolutely not boring. Like my single mom lost her job a week after the market crashed. We were staying at my grandparent's place for a couple months before she got back on her feet. I was 8 at the time but I couldn't imagine what a fuckin nightmare it was for her. All because some rich assholes decide to play with everyone's money.
how is this a boring topic?
Jeeesuz how can you absolutely say this topic is boring, im a business finance major and it’s incredibly fascinating. This scene alone inspired me to finish my business degree
If the intention of this comment was to be one of the dumbest comments..
It's interesting to compare it to Margin Call's Meeting with the CEO scene. Both have a lot of information to communicate to the audience, and both do it while excelling in their respective genre of drama and comedy, with absolutely masterful acting in both movies.
Vinnie's face at 7:04 is the best bit of this scene. Conveys palpable horror of his realisation of what it would mean if Jared is right. I never get bored of watching this movie.
Fuckin’ a, B Fab!
It's like one of the only times he stops chewing in the entire film
@@Godlikegren haha nice spot! It's such an epic moment in the entire movie. The jenga blocks as a metaphor for the housing market, them not realising and having to ask what "that" is, then Jared telling them and the stunned silence. Brilliantly written, acted, shot and directed.
It's the catch 22 of it. Vinnie's horrified that Jared's right, tries to tell himself Jared's wrong, which only proves that Jared's right because Vinnie himself is doing what the banks/government/regulators are doing.
👍
That's my Quant. MY QUANTITATIVE!!!😂
The quant's aside is maybe my favorite part of this entire masterpiece of a film. The acting and timing is perfect.
Is it because he got only second on that national competition in China ? Or because he doesn't even speak english ?
isn't that the actor from threat level midnight?
CJ what happens to golden face
Michael Scarn
Lmao
Daaaammnnn, those botted likes on an almost three year old video...
@@MashedUp43 Video release seems to have nothing to do with recommendation anymore. I haven't watched anything remotely resembling this video and yet it was at the top of my recommended for a few days. This explains why there are numerous comments from this time period, and why those comments all have likes. Who the hell would hire bots to like comments?
"Look at him. That's my quant."
"...Your what?"
"MY QUANTITATIVE! MY MATH SPECIALIST!"

All the best mathematicians were Russian, German, or Scottish in the modern era.

Lol, gonna cry about it?
Good.

Ramanujan is alright, but his contributions aren't on par with Nash, Boole, Bernays, or Gödel.
The fact that we are so taken by him is rather a man bites dog story in my opinion. You going to compare him to Perelman?
At the time I saw this, it was in my top ten for the year. Nowadays, upon rewatch, it's probably my favorite film from 2015. This was the film I knew Adam McKay had it in him to be a real filmmaker.
Rest in peace, Anthony Bourdain
"I'm standing in front of a burning house and I'm offering you FIRE INSURANCE ON IT"
That delivery was perfect and also perfectly explained what he was offering.
“Ok, now explain to a complete retard”
That’s not an insult, it’s a stupid but valid oversimplification of what was happening to the housing market
Love that line
Only makes sense if it is your own house that is burning.
I always picture this line delivered by Nicholas Cage. That hand gesture is gold.

I work in property insurance in Canada and guess how many calls I got in the middle of Fort McMurray fire.
It's beyond hilarious how Vennett is just there hyping himself while one of the guys is in the room
I love how low-key bad the whole spiel is.
lmfao, I never realized that till I read your comment. He's whispering "I smell money" to himself hahahaha
Also, he says "have a seat"... to his hosts
I love the confused look from the Front Point guy as he watches Vennett practice his lines.
@@cornfednebraskaneer I love how the Front Point guy goes "Oh..." at 1:04. It's, like, "oh, so _that's_ what you were whispering at the window. Now I get it."
Aaaaaaand here we go again ... March of 2023
As a investment bank guy, I can confirm this is how big money discussions go.
If that is true, we are run by nuts and crooks. No wonder financial crises come and go with a regularity that is shocking when you look at it. The whole incentive system should be very different.
Have some self-respect, and quit. Money isn't worth your soul.
You are clearly not talking as one. I can confirm that. Big4 Audit?
@@Rubens_991 How did you get the time to watch a youtube vídeo??
How's the farming business going?
3:49 "That's a nice shirt. Do they make it for men?" LMAO! I love this guy. Effortlessly funny
"The truth is like poetry & everyone hates poetry."
Lucas you watch the movie? It’s in there 😂
I believe it is; "The truth is like poetry, and most people fucking hate poetry"
Exactly. BUY BITCOIN #TRUTH
David Muzzatti Haha
I like how he's rehearsing his "you smell that?" part of the pitch before they walk in lol
Mental rehearsal. It actually does improve performance to visualize yourself performing a task ahead of time.
My definite favourite scene in The Big Short. I watch it again and again and again!
This is a prequel to 2023
Well said. 2008 was an amusement park compared to what we are going into
