The Big Short and Margin Call show the financial crisis from two completely different view points.

The Big Short is shown from the perspective of characters that are outside of the major corporations and who predicted the crash in the housing market. It shows the actions of the banking industry as a whole over the course of 2-3 years.

Margin Call is set over about 24 hours and is shown from the perspective of one bank who didn't see the financial crash coming, or saw it coming too late. They are holding on to a lot of bad housing bonds and it shows the morality of individual employees within the firm as they try and react to the situation.

I love the scene where Tucci tells Bettany that he once designed a bridge.

after Margin Call go ahead and give J.C. Chandor's other two movies a watch because he's among the best writer/directors living today

I'm gonna have to disagree on this, The Big Short's lighthearted and much more simplified. They sort of touch on the same topic, but they tell completely different stories in different ways, The Big Short's success and allure most probably lies in the fact that it's a comedy.

I really like Margin Call, it's got this weird, uncomfortable emptiness to it that I really dig. In fact, I just wrote an essay on it, plug plug plug: http://belfastfilm.net/streaming-margin-calls-unfeeling-corporate-desolation/

The two films are complimentary, like two sides of a coin. The Big Short is people betting against big banks that put bad mortgage-backed assets on their books, Margin Call is about a financial institution unwinding from those position when they realized a minute before the rest of Wall Street. In the big short the head of Scion Capital remarked to the Goldman banker that Goldman is only honoring their swap agreement once the bank has dumped the underlying asset, which is essentially what the firm in Margin Call was frantically doing on that sliver of a window during the one trading day. Of course Margin Call is more dramatized to ramp-up the character conflicts.

I was just thinking about Margin Call today--someone in my elevator said "let's run the numbers again," and I immediately did a flash back to this movie. I was able to rent it for free from my library. It was a real stand out for me, and I highly recommend it. I was like, how come there are so many good actors in this movie, and I haven't heard of it? Good actors including Jeremy Irons, Paul Bettany, Demi Moore, Kevin Spacey, Zachary Quinto, and others I'm sure I'm forgetting.

As someone who was laid off from a 200+ year old investment bank a few days ago this clip kind of stings. I hope my coworkers that were left standing don't feel like "survivors", they just avoided the ax, for now.

This is an excellent film and certainly worth a watch.
