Margin Call Paper Film Margin Call. Dir. J. C. Chandor. Perf. Kevin Spacey. Roadside Attractions, 2011. DVD. Selected Reviews "...relentless in its honesty and shrewd in its insights and techniques... an extraordinary feat of filmmaking" -A. O. Scott, New York Times "Margin Call is one of the strongest American films of the year and easily the best Wall Street movie ever made." -David Denby, New Yorker "... this confident, crisply made piece of work does an expert job of bringing us inside the inner sanctum of a top Wall Street investment bank..." -Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times Assignment Your assignment is to write a paper on Margin Call. It is due by the final exam. Margin Call "takes place over a 36-hour period at a large Wall Street investment bank and highlights the initial stages of the financial crisis of 2007–2008... Although the film does not depict any real Wall Street firm, or similar corporate action during the 2008 financial crisis, Goldman Sachs similarly moved early to hedge and reduce its position in mortgage-backed securities, at the urging of two employees. Other firms like Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns found themselves similarly and catastrophically over-leveraged in mortgage-backed securities. They scrambled, ultimately unsuccessfully, to manage the financial and public panic that ensued when their problems became apparent and the global financial markets plunged as a result." (Margin Call (film)) After Peter Sullivan informs Will Emerson and Sam Rogers about the potentially catastrophic risks posed by the firm's current holdings in mortgage-backed securities, they meet with Jared Cohen, Sarah Robertson, and Ramesh Shah. That meeting then leads to a middle-of-the night board meeting, where John Tuld, CEO and Chairman, asks for solutions. Jared recommends selling all of the firm's mortgage-backed securities during the next trading day.
