Margin Call (4/9) Movie CLIP - Be First, Be Smarter or Cheat (2011) HD

When you realize that he means that he condones all 3 ways,but personally prefers to be first. 😮😮

great movie. bring back kevin, you hypocrite a**holes

This is pure evil. Fantastic scene.

At "we may survive" I thought about Scar

Jeremy Irons ❤

one of the GOAT movies

This movie doesn't get the love it deserves, I've watched it a dozen times, it's a masterpiece!

I've watched this scene 20 or 30 times.....Irons is mesmerizing

there are three ways to be happy in marriage : be first, be smarter or cheat

This movie is a Masterpiece for anyone who wants to learn acting. Every scene is full of expressions & story telling. Most people might not even understand the technicalities of stock markets & fortune 500 companies but actors in this movie made it so simple for everyone to understand the core reality of the business.

Just a bunch of suits around a table yet it's one of the most gripping scenes I know. Jeremy Irons is compelling, as is everyone around him. So this is how a Financial Crash begins.

Games Industry:

Be first: World of WarCraft
Be Smarter: Hi-Fi Rush
Or Cheat: Madden

Peter Thiel gave that very speech 24 hours ago. Silicon Valley Bank is now a smoldering pile of ruins.

To be a fly-on-the-wall the night of those meetings. Instead, we got a memo to spend our bonuses discreetly. Only in banking, God bless it.

I made a video about the line "be first, be smarter, or cheat"

Its funny that he says he doesn't cheat but their fire sale was essentially cheating

He did 2 of those, cheat and be first

Come out of the gates storming.

Everyone in this film was simply outstanding. Spacey and Irons in particular were Oscar-worthy.

Has that wonderful combination of a strong cast and beautifully written. Whilst the 4am meeting was the centrepiece, just loved Eric Dale's redundancy session and later trying to get him back - gripping, masterful and leaves with little doubt, that's exactly how it would be in the all powerful, high stakes world of trading.

There are three ways to make a living in this business: be first; be smarter; or cheat. Now, I don't cheat. And although I like to think we have some pretty smart people in this building, it sure is a hell of a lot easier to just be first.

I love how everyone timidly approaches and respects to Iron except Spacey

yeah.... being the first in line is a hell lot easier eh scar?

at least he does not cheat

"So that we may survive". That line is scary. I have never seen a better portrayal of a typical CEO from the 2000's.

We never find out what they sell at this company, right?

Is it meant to be a metaphor for what ever company was going through in 2008?

The all knowing flame. Pagan, siguen, no pagan, no siguen.

The one who see the future.

Be first, be smarter or cheat. I don't cheat. Pagan, siguen. Lo que si es qué estoy aburrido.

Jermey Irons is kinda presented as the ruthless villain in this movie, which he is in a way. What he does is undebately an evil act towards his customers, (drowning the maket/selling 1B crap swaps). But he does it to protect the firm, what's left of his employees (more than half the floor been previously wiped out by the just starting 07-08 slowdown). It's what distinguish him from other villains in the he world of finance like Madoff, who are just cheat. This is why guys like him survives crisis, he is not a fraud and most important he is not lying to himself or his team about the situation, he hates to fire his top-dogs employees but does it out of necessity by personally confronting them, true leader.

Terra LUNA clowns be like.

When you get in big banks at that level you have to sell your soul to the devil and then act like you gave it to Christ.

Outstanding performance by everyone, I love Jeremy Irons, Although when he says "So we may survive" sounds pretty much like Scar.

This is totally how I imagine Kennedy and Khrushchev during thee missile crisis with their table (EXCOMM and the like)

I love how the "Do you?" line completely backfires on Rogers wwhen he tries it on Tuld lmao

...SO WE MAY SURVIVE!!!!!!

Whenever someone asks me how to get something done I always say "There are 3 ways. Be smarter, be first, or cheat."

“I don’t cheat” says the person who wants to sell MBS products with access to insider knowledge on the performance of these assets

Good god, Jeremy Irons is just simply perfect when it comes to playing bosses, CEOs etc.

Interesting that selling utterly worthless crap, duping everyone, is not considered “cheating.” It really is!

"We're selling to willing buyers at the current fair market price" That's the true essence of Capitalism.

Movieclips audio
During the video: non existent
During outro: HELOOOOOOO VIETNAMMMMM

Yes, sell this bag of odorous excrements to your mother

Yo muchisi.aveces la he visto en ESPAÑÑL...ORQU LA AUITAN AHORA???

do you? 😂

SELL IT ALL, TODAY!
And that's why he was the XO.

Jeremy irons and Kevin spacey in the same scene must've cost a fortune.

What a gem. Why I missed this masterpiece for a long time.
