also how great is your timing onestep, bringing up Margin Call at a time when a huge swath of retail traders are, in fact, literally getting margin called.

also will's rooftop breakdown of how his wealth gets tapped by taxes whores and cars is fundamentally epic.

yeah i think its definitely part and parcel to the 'big picture sociopath c-level vibe' which is absolutely 100% a thing.

another indescribably high impact moment is when will is driving and explaining how everyone shits on banks but its the banks that extend them the credit to sustain their entire lifestyles, which is not only true but frankly understated when you consider how a brief failure in the credit market during the 2008 collapse brought america a cunthair away from empty ATMs and bounced paychecks:

honestly thats david mamet level writing.

When Irons is first introduced, you expect him to be all angry and looking to split skulls but he couldn't have been anymore calm and relaxed. It was truly frightening. He knew that they just needed an escape plan so that they could live to fight another day. Didnt matter how many people lost jobs or relationships were ruined.

That speech at the dinner scene, although callous, it was true. Wolf of Wall Street borrowed that scene I feel with Leo and Matthew(where they talk about masturbating and how the market is bullshit) but here there is only 1 person in that restaurant and its Irons. He is the only one making the moves that matter.

like there arent a lot of adult movies about finance. in fact its possible there is literally one and its margin call.
