The source of the film I watched in the early morning was because of the World Cup between France and Iceland. Suddenly, I wondered why Iceland would go bankrupt. After searching, I was recommended two films. This is one of them, and the other is "The Big Short".
As soon as the camera came up, it gave Xiang Xiang’s resignation scene. I didn’t read the introduction and didn’t know it at first, but the ruthlessness and cruelty were instantly portrayed. The towering skyscrapers outside the window, the people in suits and leather shoes inside the window, pacing uneasy, newcomers They all have everyone's anxiety and unease, turn around and look at the big guys, one is lying on the chair leisurely, the other directly says, work, turn around and play with the phone calmly.
The one I remember most is Sam. On the day of his resignation, he did not cry because of layoffs, but because his dog had cancer. In the end, after the mess was dealt with, the dog died, and the only place to bury the dog was in the garden of his ex-wife. Also called the police.
There is nothing new under the sun. This is true for Sam's senior management, and Will has revealed a real fact - those normal people don't want justice at all, but also become the gainer of benefits. Before they become the gainers of benefits, they can only wave and shout with fair hats, and when they become the gainers of benefits, they need more unfairness than those who have been enjoying them for a long time. People, it will be more unfair. I forgot what theory this is. Anyway, it is such a heart. None of us desires fairness. Another market, a market that seems fair but is unfair, and every market adjustment just gives us a channel to move forward and a channel to our interests. This is the opportunity we have to seize. That's all.
This movie is actually talking about a big theme, moral choice. In fact, the final result is that if the rules of the game are a zero-sum game, either you lose or I lose, then if we don't know each other, we don't know who the other is. It’s normal for human beings to choose to lose, but when we take off the headgear of the participants in the game, we rise to our commanding heights, morality descends, and we begin to criticize those Those with vested interests, those who don't care about the fairness of others and whether their wealth grows or not, criticize them for losing the bottom line of being a human being, and all kinds of remarks are flying all over the sky. Start the so-called moral get out, go on. Look at the years listed for the financial crisis, what's the difference? But still: still under the sun.
The whole movie, without too much rendering or so, is a very simple description of a night, a night that is the same for different people, some people can't sleep at night, some people shave calmly, some people squat in the toilet and cry, some people are virtuous, some people Suffering and struggling, some people have nothing to do with them, some people... In the end, everyone ushered in the morning, the rising sun was half covered by clouds, but it was still bright, and the scenery of the towering office was still the same, everyone accepted it. In fact, the people who should receive the money receive the money, the work that should work, and the departure that should leave, yes, maybe not leaving, but severance, of course, you can also think that there is no difference.
When the head of risk management told Will that the bridge he built has saved people passing through more than 1,500 years so far, and Will replied, "It's great, but don't worry about it all the time, maybe some people just like to take the longer way home. Woolen cloth.
It has to be said that the philosophical sense in this is very strong, and it is true. The efficiency and saving we think may not be the case for others. We think that we save time and not let them waste it, but for those who just want to go far It doesn't matter to those who experience a different way of life. After thinking about the choice to go to Europe for graduate school, when I saw the efficiency is so low in Europe, I felt naively that Europe is about to finish, and this kind of speed of development cannot be surpassed by China, but when I think about it, maybe, efficiency is not the The standard for measuring everything, and I only saw this side. After reading the book, I learned that the efficiency of the European financial management system is really slow because it does not need efficiency, but only needs to be stable and accurate. Many times we are in a hurry to do things, but in the early years you will find that you go out at 6 in the morning and come home at night. Busy day, but the real result? It seems like you save 1500 years of time by crossing bridges every day, but do you really own them and use them?
Sam finally worked on Wall Street for more than 30 years, and still lacked money. After all, who would dislike more money, and after Will's understanding of the world became more and more profound, what would he say about fair and normal people? What is the difference between severance pay and dismissal?
The real difference is that the bridge engineer who seemed to be so principled in the end also came to the company and said, "If you don't come, you will trouble me for 2 years. If you come, even if you don't dare to do anything, every hour Hundreds of thousands of dollars in the account. - I have no choice ."
They all say that we have choices because we are in control of our own initiative, yes, but when the interests are big enough to completely overwhelm our moral desires, yes, there is no choice, after all, no one hates money, accurate In other words, no one hates being respected and envied.
