BARCLA YS025239

Bankruptcy & Reorganization I January 12, 2009

Claims Bar Dates in Lehman Brothers Inc. Liquidation Proceeding On September 19, 2008, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New

York entered an order commencing a liquidation proceeding for Lehman Brothers Inc.

("LEI"), a registered broker-dealer, pursuant to the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970

(as amended "SIPA"). LBI's liquidation proceeding has been referred to and is now being

administered before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York

(the "Bankruptcy Court").

On November 7, 2008, the Bankruptcy Court entered an

order specifying certain dates by which claims against LBI

must be submitted. As a reminder, the deadline by which

"customer claims" against LBI should be submitted is

January 30, 2009. Because "customer claims" are

entitled to special protections under SIP A, failure to meet

this deadline may materially prejudice those rights. The

deadline by which all other types of claims against LBI

(such as general unsecured claims) must be filed is

June 1, 2009. The deadline for filing claims against any

Lehman entity currently operating under chapter 11

bankruptcy protection (such as Lehman Brothers

Holdings Inc.) has yet to be established.

Details on how these claims must be filed can be found on

www.lehmantrustee.com. If you have any questions as to

what types of claims qualify as "customer claims," or if

you would like assistance in submitting any claims

against LBI, please contact us.

This memorandum is intended only as a general discussion of these issues. It should not be regarded as legal advice. We would be pleased to provide additional details or advice about specific situations if desired.

If you wish to receive more information on the topics covered in this memorandum, you may contact your regular Shearman & Sterling contact person or any of the following:

5'17/2016 Statement from the Office of James W Giddens, Trustee for the Liquidation of Lehman Brothers Inc. Under the Securities Investor Protection Act Trustee'

Statement from the Office of James W. Giddens, Trustee for the Liquidation of Lehman Brothers Inc. Under the Securities Investor Protection Act: Trustee's Complaint Against Barclays and Barclays Opposition Memorandum NEW YORK, March 18 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Office of the Trustee for the Liquidation of Lehman Brothers Inc. (LBI), the broker-dealer of Lehman Brothers, made the following statement today upon filing a response to Barclays Capital's opposition to the Trustee's lawsuit over disputed assets.

The Trustee filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York on November 19, 2009, seeking recovery of approximately $6.7 billion in disputed assets that Barclays is claiming at the expense of the LBI estate. In today's filing. the Trustee is asking the Court to have the agreement for the sale of Lehman Brothers' lnc.'s brokerage business to Barclays enforced in accordance with the law and its terms as presented to the Trustee, the regulators, thousands of interested parties and the Bankruptcy Court on September 19, 2008.

Today's filing by the Trustee makes clear the parties did not agree to transfer the disputed assets and the Bankruptcy Court never approved the transfer. Barclays is seeking to reinterpret the deal at the direct expense of customers the transaction was supposed to protect.

The Trustee agreed to the sale of Lehman Brothers lnc.'s brokerage business to Barclays on the understanding that it was consistent with the deal that was presented to the Court and faithful to the fundamental principle of protecting customers and ensuring sufficient assets to satisfy customer claims. The disputed assets are needed to satisfy the claims of customers the Trustee was appointed to protect, and, in the case of certain assets, a transfer to Barclays would cause a violation of the Securities Investor Protection Act and the Securities and Exchange Commission's Customer Protection Rule.

The Trustee rejects Barclays' argument that a potential shortfall for public customers is not legally relevant and notes that the Trustee, along with SIPC and various regulatory authorities supported the sale of Lehman to Barclays because, at a time of great financial tumult in the United States markets, the sale was supposed to protect LBl's customers. If Barclays were to prevail, the transfer of these assets would expose public customers to loss of their property and provide a windfall for Barclays.

6110/2014 Lehman: Meanv.tiile on the Pink Sheets Hope Springs Eternal' - MarletBeat- VI/SJ

Top 12 spectacular places to visit in Russia ~

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL. WSJ.C<lll'

March 12 2010. 2 41 PM ET

Lehman: Meanwhile on the Pink Sheets Hope Springs Eternal!

If you ever needed proof of the greater fool theory, here it is .

• lllM'h P'1C'.tl<.!>Z 'r.: II o\'I '..:11';~ I{>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-cc.;•• ... .... .... ..... .... .... . ,,. .,.. .....

·--· Trading in Lehman Brothers Holdings on the Pink Sheets electronic over-the-counter exchange surged

ahead of the release of the examiner's post-mortem of the famously failed Wall Street titan. Hit a peak of

54.5 million shares trading hands on Tuesday IVlarch 8. That capped a sizzling run for the shares which

rose a closing price of 1.02 cents on IVlarch 3, to close at 1.58 cents Thursday, a jump of 55%.

Now it's unclear why Lehman shares started rallying this time. Although a quick look shows that from time

to time activity in the shares does pick up usually when the phrase Lehman Brothers gets in the news. But

even if the shares rallied in conjunction with the release of the report, it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense

to a rational investor.

What any rational investors would consider the examiner's 2,200-page report recounting the demise of

http:l/blogs.wsj.com'marletbeal/2010/03112/lehman-meanv.tiile-on-the-pin~sheets-hope-springs-eternalltabiprinl/ 1/2

RA RCT ,A VS001176

6110/2014 Lehrran: MearrMlile on the Pink Sheets Hope Springs Eternal! - MarletBeat- WSJ

Lehman in intricate detail as buying opportunity? That's why this is basically an example of the greater fool

theory. Here's how Max G. Ansbacher, an associated director of Bear Stearns, described this theory in a

WSJ piece back in 1988.

This states that when stock prices get very high, the buyers know

that they are too high based upon any rational evaluation, but that doesn't bother them, because they believe that with a rising

market the prices will go even higher, and they will be able to sell

at a higher price to an even greater fool than they are. The last

person is the greatest fool because he pays the highest price, after

which the stock plunges to its true value.

But over-the-counter trading of remnants of bankrupt companies can persist for years as companies are

chopped up and sold. And sometimes trading goes on even after the rest of the company emerges from

bankruptcy. Take for example IVbtors Liquidation. That's the vehicle that holds former GM assets such as

manufacturing plants, brands and liabilities that are being wound down in bankruptcy court. The new GM

which has emerged from bankrputcy protection - isn't publicly traded, but IVbtors Liquidation shares are

traded on the pink sheets over-the-counter market, the Journal Reports.

Storyline Three separate but parallel stones of the u.s mortgage housing crisis of 2005 are told. Michael Burry, an eccentric ex-physician turned one-eyed Scion Capital hedge fund manager, has traded traditional office attire for shorts, bare feet and a Supercuts haircut. He believes that the us housing market is built on a bubble that will burst within the next few years. Autonomy within the company allows Burry to do largely as he pleases, so Burry proceeds to bet against the housing market with the banks, who are more than happy to accept his proposal for something that has never happened in American history. The banks believe that Burry 1s a crackpot and therefore are confident in that they will win the deal. Jared Vennett with Deutschebank gets wind of what Burry 1s doing and, as an investor believes he too can cash in on Burry's beliefs. An errant telephone call to FrontPomt Partners gets this information into the hands of Mark Baum, an idealist who is fed up with the corruption in the ... Written by riU(j(JO

User Reviews The Best movie I've seen all year.

20 November 2015 I by R,i,• {United States) Sc,.•

I will keep the review simple. Although some of the financial Jargon went over my head, i would say Adam McKay is a genius, to make a movie about the financial crisis this much entertaining, funny and touching that's a feat only few filmmakers can pull off, and a lot of that has to do with the tremendous cast of this movie. The Big Short has a large ensemble cast but focuses on four ma1or players who benefited in various ways from betting against the American economy. Steve carell gives one of the best performance of his career, Christian bale portrays the awkward lonely genius with ease. Ryan gosling 1s slick over the top and funny in this movie he also makes the whole thing much more interesting. Brad Pitt 1s kind of a good guy and the moral center. This is a must see, and needs multiple viewings to truly appreciate.

Predicting that the market will collapse sometime in the second quruter of 2007, he realizes that he can profit from this situation by creating a credit default swap market, allowing him to bet against the housing market. He visits several major banks and investment dealers with this idea: these fmus, believing that the housing market is secure, accept his proposal. This earns the ire of Buny's clients who believe that he is wasting their money ru1d demru1d that he stop his activities, but he refuses. As the predicted time of the collapse approaches, his investors lose their confidence and consider pulling their money out, but Buny puts a morat01ium on withdrawals, much to his investors' anger. However, the market collapses just as he predicted and he produces 489% profits from the plan.

Trader Jru·ed Vennett (Ryan Gosling) hears ofBuny's actions from one of the bankers he dealt with, ru1d soon realizes that Buny's predictions ru·e likely true. He decides to put bis own stake in the credit default swap market. A misplaced phone call alerts hedge fund mruiager Mru·k Baum (Steve Carell) to his plans, and Baum is convinced to join Vennett. The two discover that the impending market collapse is being fmther pe1petuated by the sale of collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), groups of poor loans that are packaged together and inc01Tectly given AAA ratings due to the conflict of interest and dishonesty of the rating agencies.

When Baum attends the American Securitization Fomm in Las Vegas, he interviews businessmru1 Mr. Chau (Byron ~fam1), who has created synthetic CDOs, making what is described as a chain of increasingly large bets on the faulty loru1s. Baum realizes, much to his h01ror, that the scale of the fraud will cause a complete collapse of the economy. Baum's business partners convince him to go through with the credit default swaps, profiting from the situation at the banks' expense.

Eager young investors Chru·lie Geller (John Magaro) ru1d Jrunie Shipley (Fim1 Wittrock) accidentally discover a paper by Vennett and also decide to become involved in the credit default swaps. Since they ru·e under the required capital for ru1 ISDA needed to pull off the trades necessruy to profit from the situation, they enlist the aid of retired banker Ben Ricke11 (Brad Pitt). The three visit the M011gage Securities Fonnn in Las Vegas, where they mru1age to successfully make the deals. Shipley ru1d Geller are initially ecstatic, but Rickett is disgusted by their essentially celebrating an impending economic collapse ru1d soon-to-be-lost lives. The two are horrified, and take a much more emotional stake in the collapse by trying to tip off the press and their fruuilies about the upcoming disaster. Ultimately, they profit immensely, but are left with their faith in the system broken.

Bmry semi-retires and invests only in water, Baum refuses to say "I told you so" to the world and continues his cru·eer, Ricke11 rettlllls to his retirement, and Shipley and Geller m1successfully attempt to sue the ratings compailles, with the latter electing to move to Charlotte, Nort11 Carolina to raise a family.

Production notes

Development

https://en.wikipedia.org/wikifThe_Big_Short_(film) RA RCT ,A VS0044~4 3f7


In 2013, Paramount acquired the rights to the 2010 non-fiction book The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine by Michael Lewis, to develop it into a film, which Brad Pitt's Plan B Entertainment would

produce.[1 8] On March 24, 2014, Adam McKay was hired to write and direct a film about the housing and

economic bubble.[4] Screenwriter Charles Randolph, who co-wrote the film with McKay, said one of the first challenges was finding the right tone for the film. He told Creative Screenwriting, "In general it was trying to find the right tone that was slightly funnier than your average Milos Fonnan comedy, which is all grounded character-based but not so satirical where you got Wag the Dog. Somewhere between there was what I was shooting for. Once I got the tone down, then I went through the plot. The market's movements provided you with an underlying plot. You make your short deal, then the bank is trying to squeeze you out,

and then it all breaks loose. So that was pretty easy, and it provided character arcs against that."[ 191 Two years after Randolph wrote his draft, McKay, as director, rewrote Randolph's screenplay. It was McKay's

idea to include the celebrity cameos in the film to explain the financial concepts.[20]

Casting

On January 13, 2015, Variety reported that Brad Pitt, Christian Bale, and Ryan Gosling were set to star in the film, with Pitt producing the film along with Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner. Plan B Entertainment

would finance, with Paramount handling the distribution rightsJ21l Before this, Pitt had already starred in

the adaptation of the author's Moneyball, for which he was nominated for an Oscar.[4][211 On January 14, it

was announced that Steve Carell would also star.[71 On April 21, 2015, more cast was revealed by Deadline, including Melissa Leo, Marisa Tomei, Tracy Letts, Hamish Linklater, John Magaro, Byron Mann, Rafe

Spall, Jeremy Strong, and Finn Wittrock.[221 Charles Randolph wrote the initial draftJ22l Max Greenfield

joined the ensemble cast of the film on April 23, 2015.[14] Karen Gillan tweeted about her involvement in

the film on May 8, 2015.[1 3]

Filming

Principal photography on the film began on March 18, 2015 in New Orleans, LouisianaJ23l[24l On March

25, filming was taking place on General De Gaulle Boulevard in the Algiers section of New OrleansJ25l On

May 8, Gillan confirmed she was shooting her scenes.[131 On May 20, 2015, filming took place on Mercer,

between the Prince Street and Spring Street in Manhattan, New York City.[261 On May 22, the production crew recreated the offices of failed investment firm Lehman Brothers in the lobby of the New York State

Department of Financial Services in ManhattanJ27l An assistant counsel for the Department of Financial

Services played one of the extras in the sceneJ27l

Release

On September 22, 2015, Paramount set the film for a limited release on December 11, 2015 and a wide

release on December 23, 2015J28l[29l

On February 10, 2016, it was announced that the film would be released on DVD and Blu-ray on March 15, 2016.

crisis". [371 Vermont senator and 2016 presidential candidate Bernie Sanders endorsed The Big Short as an

This Friday CNBC is airing (four bmesr) the hour-long 2009 dramabc film "The Last Days of Lehman Brothers." ll's about the weekend that the finn crashed. n does not look good.

Admittedly, we haven't seen it. tl.!JUl.~illfil.s.J:r;.1der 11as. and it turns out it might be one of those "so bad ifs good" movies. They've corrui1led ten "hilariously awesome" ~nes from the film. They are hilarious. and awesome, and somehow it doesn't seem putting them in

context is going to make a difference.

It'd be like Rome selling the Vatican to the .Japanese to make it a hotel and hiring the Pope as the bell boy. It's just a fantasy. What?

Lehman's problem; have put the US goverrurent in a delicate position. The collapse of a firm of Lehman's size would have catastrophic economic repercussions weU beyond the firm itself Because there is no politi::al support fur a govemrrrnt bailout of the finn, the govcmrrrnt turns to Lehman's COl'll'etitors fur help. Late on the afternoon of 12 September, a Friday, the leaders of the top investment banks on Wall Street, Lehman's competitors, are summoned to the Federal Reserve Bank ofNew York. Arrerican Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson warns the incredubus group that Lehman is not too big to tail and that there will be no bailout using public m:mey. Instead. Paulson cajoles the bank heads to work out sonr joint plan am:mg themselves to relieve Lehman of its tori: assets, warning them that the steep price they would pay to save Lehman would be easily outweighed by the cost of its failure. He also intimidates the bank heads by reminding them that they too will soon need help. A solutk:in nl.lSt be round befure trading opens in Japan on Monday n-vming.

By Friday evening. Bank of Arrerica bei:,rins stalling the deal noting that Lehman's valuation puts them "underwater" by billions of dollars. Fuld must now depend on Barclays. and he is clearly growing n"XJre desperate. Retaining hopes that Bank of Airerica will change its mind, Fuld has the firm's attorney Harvey R. Miller (Richard Durden) begin drafting a bankruptcy petition.

As Paul~on's group searches for alternatives. Lehman's assets are subject to 'valuation" by ana~'Sls from other firms. The analysts spend the night poring over boxes of paperwork. Calculation is rrade extrerrely diffi::uh because much of the assets are based on collateraliz.ed debt obligation tCDO) instnnrents whose value is difficuh to assess.

Di.,cussion continue at the Fed throughout Saturday with little result. John Thain of Menill Lynch (Ben Daniel'>) pulls out of Paulson's bailout group, telling Paulson that hi-; corrpany i-; in discu.'isions with Bank of America. As they are no longer committed to Lehman, Bank ofArrerica is tree to consider acquiring Merrill Lynch, which desperately needs the deal. Since the prospect of acquisition makes it less likely that Menill will need help from the Fed, Thain has little incentive to continue partK:ipating in Paulson's discussions. As Thain leaves. he learns from Paulson of the Fed's plans to bail out AJG, whose credit defauh swaps insure half of the western world's banking system

By Sunday morning, Fuld receives word that Barclays has agreed lo acquire Lehrrun Brothers. sa\ing it. Jubilation is short-lived. Under British law, Barclays cannot guarantee Lehman's debts until its own shareholders vote on the n~tter, and that will not happen until Tuesday - beyond the Monday iroming deadline. Paulson reiterates that the Fed wiD not 'back-stop" Lehman, not even for the two days it will take for Barclays's shareholders to vote. With no chance ofa buyout, Lehman has no choice but to file fur bankruptcy. Lclumn's CFO signs the petition just minutes before the midnight deadline. A devastated Fuld leaves his offx:c as Leluran's now tmemployed staff cleans out their desks.

A voice-over notes that the Fed did bailout firms that raced collapse after Lehtmn

Coming Soon: Lehman Brothers, the Movie

ByDEALBOOK

August 19, 2009 2:59 pm

With the one-year anniversary of Lehman Brothers's collapse

fast approaching, prepare to soon see a version of the seminal event on

the small screen.

The BBC said on Wednesday that it is producing "The Last Days of

Lehman Brothers," a TV movie "inspired by the real events" of that

September weekend, for its BBC Two channel. And it has also cast a few

familiar faces to play some of the main characters who helped shape the

fate of the late investment bank.

Playing two of the biggest roles: James Cromwell, the character

actor known for roles in "L.A Confidential," "Babe" and "24,'' who will

play then-Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr.; and Corey Johnson,

who was in "United 93" and "The Bourne Ultimatum," who will portray

Lehman chief executive Richard S. Fuld Jr.

(We can see the resemblance of Mr. Cromwell to Mr. Paulson, but

the actor may need to bulk up a little to play a former football player

known as the Hammer. Mr. Johnson seems imposing enough to play

Mr. Fuld, called the Gorilla for his hard-charging demeanor.)

Other actors named in the release include James Bolam, Ben

Daniels and Michael Landes. Any guesses as to whom they'll play?

The BBC made sure to note that the production was a work of

fiction based on the real-life events of the weekend of Sept. 12. But in its

release, the broadcaster portrayed the goings-on in a curious way,

hl!p:Jldealbookl1)llmes.com'2009/Qal1Qlcomng-sooo-lahrrm-brolhers·the-mMel 1/5

RARC:J,AVSOOB45

&15/2014 C omng Sooo" l.ehrmn Brothers. lhe Mwe - NYT 1mes "com

saying that Mr. Fuld was "recently sidelined in a boardroom coup."

Still, the Beeb knows how to press the right dramatic tension

buttons:

But without the financial support of Paulson and

Lehman's fiercest competitors, Fuld's empire - and with it,

the stability of the world economy - teeters on the verge of

extinction.

It isn't clear when "The Last Days," written by the BBC scribe Craig

Warner, will come out, other than sometime this fall.

Of course, a slew of books about the financial crisis are set to hit

bookshelves this fall (one, by a former midlevel Lehman executive, has

already been published), and maybe we'll see other dramatizations of

the Lehman weekend.

We'll open it up to you, readers: Who should fill out (or should have

filled out) the cast of "The Last Days?" How about Timothy Geithner,

Ben Bernanke or Kenneth D. Lewis of Bank of America? Leave your

suggestions in the comments.

Press Office Thursday OS Jun 2014

Press Releases

New BBC Two drama from Ruth Caleb inspired by collapse of Lehman Brothers Date: 19.08.2009 Category: BBC Two; TV Drama

James Cromwell (Six Feet Under, 24, W, LA Confidential), James Bolam (New Tricks), Ben Daniels (Law And Order: UK, The Passion), Michael Landes (Love Soup, Material Girl) and Corey Johnson (Spooks, United 93, The Bourne Ultimatum) will star in The Last Days Of Lehman Brothers, a BBC Drama Production for BBC Two.

A work of fiction inspired by the real events that took place on the weekend of 12 September 2008, The Last Days Of Lehman Brothers tells the story of what happened the weekend that Lehman's Bank went to the wall.

Executive Producer Ruth Caleb (Short Stay In Switzerland, Born Equal, Judge John Deed) says: "In the year following the collapse of Lehman Brothers, writer Craig Warner has written a very

engaging script inspired by those events.

"We are also very fortunate that we have an exceptional cast, including James Cromwell, Ben Daniels and James Bolam to bring those events to life."

By Friday 12 September 2008 confidence in the American bank Lehman Brothers had plunged.

Its clearing bank was demanding more collateral, its attempts to raise money from a Korean bank had stalled and credit agencies warned that, if it did not raise more capital, it would be downgraded.

The heads of Wall Street's biggest investment banks were summoned to an evening meeting by the US Treasury Secretary, Hank Paulson (James Cromwell), to discuss the plight of another - Lehman Brothers.

After six months' turmoil in the world's financial markets, Lehman Brothers was on life support and the government was about to pull the plug.

Lehman CEO, Dick Fuld (Corey Johnson), recently sidelined in a boardroom coup, spends the

weekend desperately trying to resuscitate his beloved company through a merger with Bank of

America or UK-based Barclays.

But without the financial support of Paulson and Lehman's fiercest competitors, Fuld's empire -

and with it, the stability of the world economy - teeters on the verge of extinction.

Lehman Brothers Collapses All Over Again in BBC Drama: Review

Review by Farah Nayeri - September 3, 2009 19:01 EDT

'1lre Last Days of Lehman Brothers"

Sept. 4 (Bloomberg) -- It's September 2008, and Lehrnm Brothers Holdings Inc. Chief Executive OflX:er RJChard fukl is thinking the unthinkable: He's asking a top bankruptcy lawyer to get the paperwork ready in case the bank goes bust.

"'The governm:nt's not going to let you go down!" retorts the increduloll'i attorney, Harvey Miller, as he is led into Fukl's 31st-floor oflX:e. '"It wouk:l be like the Alrerican government itself going bankrupt."

"It would be like Rome selling the Vatican lo the Japanese to mike it a hotel and hiring the Pope as a bellboy," he deadpan<;.

Days later, Miller watches dolefully as streams of Lehman en1Jloyccs vacate the building. hauling their belongings in cardboard boxes and carry-on luggage.

These arc scenes from the hour-long BBC Two drama "]lis; Last Days ofLdmian Brothers," airing Sept. 9 al 9 p.m U.K. time -- a fictionalized account ofLehman's collapse on Sept. l 5. 2008, the biggest bankruptcy in U.S. history. A written caveat after the opening credit'> reads, "Something like the fullowing took place on the weekend of 12th Septetrber, 2008."

Lchrrnn's fuilure and U.S. taxpayers' $700 billion bailout of the financial system are providing !Odder for film and television dramatil.ations. Director Michael Moore is giving his take on the meltdown this weekend when he screens "Caprtalisnt A Love Stori' at the Venice Film Fcsti\'al

Fuld's FIW1ky

Leading us into the story is narrator Zach (Michael I ;indes), a brash yolll1g banker from Tennessee. who is Fuk:l's personal b'Ofi:r. He sets out philosophizing about rcscntm:nl of Wall Street -· "If you talk to I 00 people, I 02 arc b'Oing to tell you they hate bankers" -- then takes us up the elevator as the boss's name flashes on his cellphone.

Fuld, balding and pudgy-fuced, is howling down the phone. "Everyone's dU01Jing our stock, and you ask me fur n'Xlre'?" he barks, concUJTCntly answering another call and shoving a plate in Zach's direction with the words, "Tiicsc nbs are cold."

The actor playing Fuld. Corey Johnson. ~by turns beli:vablc and buffilonish. He hyperventilates in 115 shirtsleeves. swears at staff, pines fur spare ribs, and keeps a toy gonlla in his of!X:e that he pllllChcs when tinl:s get rough. Fuld himself gets punched by an older man in a suit on his way into the olHce one 1roming.

&1&'2014 l..ehm!n Brolhers Calapees All O\lllr Again in BBC Drama: Rm.4ew· Bloorrberg

The real action is elsewhere: in the mahogany-lined boardroom of the New York Federal Reserve, where Iilw.Uui ~(Alex Jcrmings) ··then New York Fed president, now U.S. Treaswy secretary-- has swnnxmcd WaD Street bank chielS to see if they will help prevent Lehman from sinking. At the first meeting, Treaswy Secretary Henrv Paulson is also present.

No Money

Paulson (played by Ja1n;s Cro1mycll seen in the 1997 fihn "L.A. Conlidentiaf') is depicted as a strait-laced tough guy. Lanky and hollow-checked. he flatly refuses to lift Fuld's bank out ofthe doldrum;. "There's oo public m:mcy fur the baik:mt of Lehman Brothers," he says in an ominou~ baritone.

Fuld leaves no stone unrurned in his rush to stay afloat. We see him court Bank of Amerk:a Corp., and hokl out eagerly fi>r Barclays Pk:. He even calls Paulson, who replies, '1bc money was on the table, Dick. Only you never thought it was enough."

\\'hat happened a year ago nukes fur a drama of Shakespearean proportions. and Executive Producer Ruth Caleb has spared no effort lo make the show ring true. The majestX: boardroom open-plan oflicc. tailored suits. and accents arc realistX:; the actors even rcscrrble the original people. Only the bankers' irreverence toward Paulson and Gcithncr seems a stretch.

Pi!:,itails and Subprimcs

ComX:al perspective is provided by the narration. done to the cam:ra by Zach and, briefly, by his sister, a subprin'k!mortgage holder with pi!:,'1ails and a southern drawl As her fureclosed home is emptied of its contents, she gives a subprimc-fur-dummX:s lesson. with her tattooed partner seated beside her. She stresses the irony of her unaflOrdablc trurtgagc !:,'Citing stapled tO!:,>ethcr with others and turned into CDOs (collatcralizcd debt obligations) that arc sold and resold at huge profits.

Zach, whose musings bookend the draim, leaves no doubt about his, and the progrnm's, sympathies. "It was defmitely the end ofhistory fur soll'k!," he says of Lehman. "Everyone bcfure thcJTL and everyone after them, !:,701 bailed out."

He's arguably the show's weak link: Zach pops out of nowhere, then disappears for long stretches, then reappears. neither a consistent narrator nor a key part of the plot.

Still for a TV production made so soon after the events, "The Last Days of Lehman Brothers" is solidly entertaining. and will have no shortage offureign buyers. The jargon-packed opening scenes n~y daunt son-.:. but there's plenty of action. and this really did happen at an investment bank not fur from you

Due to the low budget, locations in London were sought instead of those in New York.f3l Locations included Addington Palace near Croydon which acted as the Federal Reserve, and a disused office in London's Canary Wharf which served as Fuki's New York office.

The Arrrrican financial industry was regulated from I 940 to 1980, followed by a long period of deregulation. At the end of the 1980s, a savings and loan crisis cost taxpayers about $124 billion. In the late 1990s, the financial sector had consolidated into a few giant finns. In March 2000, the Internet Stock Bubble burst because invesurent banks prmmted Internet companies that they knew would rail, resuhing in $5 trillion in investor losses. In the 1990s, derivatives becatre popular in the indll<;try and added instability. Efforts to regulate derivatives were thwarted by the Corrnmdity Futures Modemir.ation Act of2000, backed by several key officials. In the 2000s, the industry was dominated by five investJrent banks (Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, and Bear Stearns), two financial congloirerates (Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase). three securitized insurance companies (AIG, MBIA. AMBAC) and the three rating agencies (Moody's, Standard & Poors, Fitch). Invcstn~nt banks bundled ID.)rtgages with other loans and debts into collatcralized debt obligation.<; (CDOs), which they sold to investors. Rating agencies gave many CDOs AAA ratings. Subprime loan'> led to predatory lending. Many home owners were given loan.<; they could never repay.

Part II: The Bubble (2001-2007)

During the housing boom, the ratio ofrroney borrowed by an invesurent bank versus the bank's own assets reached unprecedented levels. The credit default swap (CDS). was akin to an insurance policy. Speculators could buy CDSs to bet against CDOs they did not own. Ntnrerous CDOs were backed by subprime 1mrtgages. Goldman-Sachs sold 1mre than $3 billion worth ofCOOs in the first halfof2006. Goldman also bet against the low-value COOs, telling investors they were high-quality. The three biggest ratings agencies contnbutcd to the problem AAA-rated inst:nnrents rocketed from a mere handful in 2000 to over 4,000 in 2006.

Part III: The Crisis

TI1c market fur COOs collapsed and invcs~nt banks were left with hundreds of billions of dollars in loans. CDOs and real estate they could not tmload. The Great Recession began in November 2007, and in March 2008, Bear Steam<; ran out of cash. In September, the fuderal government took over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. which had been on the brink of collapse. Two days later, Lehman Brothers collapsed. lnese entities all had AA or AAA ratings within days ofbeing bailed out. Merrill Lynch, on the edge of collapse, was acquired by Bank of America. Henry Paulson and Tiroothy Geithner decided that Lehman must 1:,10 into bankruptcy. which resulted in a collapse of the comirercial paper market. On September 17, the insolvent AIG was taken over by the govcrrunmt. TI1c rext day, Paulson and Fed chairman Ben Bernankc asked Congress fur $700 billion to bail out the banks. The global financial system bccanl! paralyz.cd. On October 3, 2008, President BtL'ih signed the Troubled Asset Relief Program, but global stock markets continued to rail LayoflS and foreclosures continued with unemployment rising to I 0% in the U.S. a1~ the European Union. By December 2008, GM and Chrysler also raced bankruptcy. Foreclosures in the U.S. reached lUlprecedented levels.

Part IV: Accountability

Top executives of the insolvent companies walked away with their personal furtunes intact. The executives had hand-picked their boards of directors, which handed out billions in bonuses after the government bailout. The major banks grew in power and doubled anti-refunn cffurts. Academic economists had fur decades advocated for deregulation and helped shape U.S. policy. They stiU opposed refonn after the 2008 crisis. Soire of the con.'iulting firms involved were the Analysis Group, Charles River Associates, Compass Lexecon. and the Law and Economics Consulting Group (LECG). Many of these economist.<; had conflict.<; of interest, collecting sums

as consultants to companies and other groups involved in the financial crisis.l4l

MOVIE REVIEW I 'INSIDE JOS'

Inside Job (2010)

Who Maimed the Economy, and How

As I was watching "Inside Job," Charles Fcrgu:;oo 's meticulous and

infuriating documentary about the causes and consequences of the

financial crisis of 2008, an odd, archaic sentence kept popping into

my head. The word.< come from the sc>eond chapter of :01c Srnrll't

L!:.tkL and are spoken in frustration and disgust by an old Puritan

woman who watches I lester Pr\'nne. publicly disgraced but without

any sign of remorse, making her way from Salem ·s pri<nn to a

scaffold in it.< market square. She "has brought shame upon us all."

the anonymous woman remarks. "Is t11ere not law for it?"

More About This Movie

Overview

New York Times Review

Cast. Credtts & Awards

Trailers & Clips

Multimedia

"Inside Job." a sleek, briskly paced film

whose title suggcsts a heist movie, is

the story of a crime without punlshment. of an outrage

that has so far largely escaped legal sanction and societal

stigma. The betrayal of public tn1st and wllective values

that \Ir Frr~uson chronides was far more brazen and

damaging than the adultery in Nathaniel Hawthorne's

novel. which treated !lester more as scapegoat than ,·main.

The gL'll of this movie, whirh begins in a moo<l of <:aim

reflection and grows angrier and more incredulous as it

goes on, Ls unmL<takahly punith·e. The density of

information and the complexity of the subject matter make

"Inside Job" feel like a dassroom lecture at times, but by

the end Mr. Ferguson has summoned the scourging moral

force of a pulpit-shaking sermon. Tiiat he ddivcrs it with

rigor, restraint and good humor makes his case all the

more dernstating.

He is hardly alone in making it. '.':umerous joumalists ha''"

How did this happen' Mr. Ferguson LS no conspiracy theorist; nor is he inclined toward

Inside Job • review How did the financial crash of 2008 happen? This documentary,

narrated by Matt Damon, does a good job of explaining a complex

story of credit and discredit

"If you're growing, you're not in recession ... right?" The speaker is Hank Paulson, the

former US treasury secretary, and, as it happens, the former CEO of Goldman Sachs. In

Charles Ferguson's documentary about the great financial crash, Paulson's shrugging

remark sums up the attitude of the super-rich banking apparatchiks and their eager

political supporters. As long as the bubble's getting bigger, there's no worry about the

bubble contracting ... right? But that is not what happens to bubbles. In 2008, the pop

was heard around the world.

Production year: 2010

Country: USA

This film is as gripping as any thriller. Aided by some fascinating

interviews, Ferguson lays out an awful story. In the i98os, the

markets and financial services were deregulated, and the driving

force for this liberalisation was Alan Greenspan, formidable

chairman of the US federal reserve board from 1987 to 2006.

Banks and loan companies were freer to gamble with their

depositors' money; they were themselves freer to borrow more;

they were free to offer investors dizzyingly complex financial

instruments, with income streams from different debts bundled

up, including high-interest home loans offered to high-risk borrowers - the so-called

"sub-prime" market that offered mouthwateringly high returns.

The good times rolled. The banks ballooned. They offered their traders mind-blowing

bonuses to encourage risk-taking chutzpah, corporate loyalty, and a neurotically driven

pursuit of profit. Ferguson argues that crucially, the banks were allowed to insure

against bad debts with credit default swaps - any number of these insurance policies

could be purchased against one particular risk. Chillingly, the banks now had a vested

interest in selling insanely risky products, as they themselves were lavishly insured with

these swaps.

Perhaps the most sensational aspect of this film is Ferguson's contention that the crash

corrupted the discipline of economics itself. Distinguished economists from America's Ivy

League universities were drafted in by banks to compose reports sycophantically

supporting reckless deregulation. They were massively paid for these consultancies. The

banks bought the prestige of the academics, and their universities' prestige, too.

Ferguson speaks to many of these economists, who clearly thought they were going to be

interviewed as wry, dispassionate observers. It is really something to see the expression

of shock, outrage and fear on their faces as they realise they're in the dock. One splutters

with vexation; another gives vent to a ripe Freudian slip. Asked by Ferguson if he has

any regrets about his behaviour, he says: "I have no comments ... uh, no regrets."

This is what Ferguson means by "inside job". There is a revolving door between the

banks and the higher reaches of government, and to some extent the groves of academe.

Bank CEOs become government officials, creating laws convenient for their once and

future employers.

Perhaps only the pen of Tom Wolfe could do justice to these harassed, bald, middle-aged

masters of the universe, as they appear in Ferguson's film. The director shows how their

body-language is always the same: somehow more guilty-looking when they are in the

White House rose garden in their career pomp, being introduced to the press, than when

they are facing openly hostile Senate hearings. They look uneasy, shifty, in weirdly illfitting suits, as if they are oppressed by the scrutiny, and worn out, possibly, by the

strain of suppressing their own scruples. Their financial capacity far outstrips their

capacity for enjoying themselves. They look very unhappy. Occasionally, British figures

including Mervyn King and Alistair Darling are to be glimpsed in these photos, reminding

us that we Brits have been ardent deregulators, as well.

One of Ferguson's interviewees is Charles Morris, author of The Two Trillion Dollar

Meltdown, who amusingly discusses the effects this mega-windfall has on the individual

banker's mind. He became absurdly rich and "he thought it was because he was smart".

I was reminded of Michael Lewis's Liar's Poker, his very funny book about the financial

mentality of the Bos boom. He noted that if a regular person won the lottery, he might

roll around on the floor, kicking his legs up with glee, but when bankers won their

arbitrary lottery, they instead became solemn, pompous, overwhelmed with their uwn

importance and stateliness. Their recklessness and excess coexisted with an almost

priestly sense of worth. Even more than rich lawyers, rich bankers felt that their money

proved their superior cleverness and also moral worthiness as the generators of

prosperity. Yet that prosperity didn't trickle down very far.

Generally, this is the sort of film that is praised because it is not as wacky and tricksy as

Michael Moore. Yet it is clearly influenced by him - it's like a Moore film with the gags

and stunts removed. And it's worth noting that without Moore's pioneering work, this

documentary could not have been made.

Once again, the phrase that comes to mind is Milton Friedman's: socialism for the rich,

free enterprise for the rest. An ordinary person defaults on his debt, he gets to live in his

car. A banker defaults, and the taxpayer can be relied on to bail him out. No wonder the

bonuses are back. But what can be done about all this? Ferguson has no answers, other

than a faintly unedifying hint that bankers could be brought low if rumours about their

systemic addiction to drugs and prostitutes could be made to stick legally - like Al Capone's tax evasion. But only a new political mood for regulation will do, and this still

seems far away.

n·s fuU of•••• (Ncir""a') -

HBO and Peter Gouk:i did d dr.,servte:e to the Arrencdl"1 peupk:: by stuffing their nose up the ass ot Wall Street and the Federdl Res,erve bank by not everi tomng dose to laying blarre where it beiongs. The film rs alrrost cofl"Kdi in rts representation of Paulsen, Bemanke and

Gerthner. AU three of these clowns cire c haractenzed as heroic as they strugg~ to save the Amencan econon"f( from col!aps109. The trim is rrostty f>ct10n and is clearly an atte~t to hide the truth from the Ame:ican people. I would recorrmend watch1og a n'Ore truthful depoct1on of Y¥hat actually happened, as for exaf'l"'()le ~Inside Job" whJCh rs actua!fy a documentary and not a fictional represe11tatt0n.

Plot

Too Big to Fail chronicles the 2008 financial meltdown, fucusing on the actions ofU.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson (William Hurt) to contain the problems during the period of Atlb'llSt 2008 to October 13, 2008. Dick Fuld (Jan~s Woods), CEO oflehmm Brothers. is seeking external invesllrent, but investors are wary as Lehman is seriously exposed to toxic housing assets and the Treasury is ideologically opposed to offering any sort of bailout as it did for Bear Steams.

Paulson attempts to arrange a private solution to the Lehman problem and both Bank of Am!rica and Barclays express interest in Lehman's "good" assets. Bank of America instead chooses to purchase Merrill

lbe initial reaction on Wall Street is fuvorable, as is the politi::al reaction. However, Paulson quickly learns that Lehman's counterparty risk is irrJiacting the entire financial market. and that the stock nmket is in frecfull. Another crisis arises as rrultinational insurance corporation AJG begins to collapse.

Paulson's team realizcs that if AIG is allowed to fuil its entire insurance portfulio will defuuh and the entire financial industry will suffer missive losses. The Treasury takes over AIG. Ben Bemanke (Paul Giamltti), Chairman of the Federal Reserve System argues that the status quo is unsustainable and that the Congress must pass legislation to authorize any continued intervention by the Fed or the Treasury.

Paul~on's plan is to buy the ·~oxic" assets from the banks. Direct capital injection is consrlered and rejected. Tirmthy Geithner (Billy Crudup). President of the Federal Reserve Bank ofNew York, realizcs that the trarket cannot wait fur Congressional action. He attempts to arrange mergers between consUJTrr banks and invcsnrent banks, but this proves tmtenablc. Paulson receives a call from Jcffi'ey Jmrrclt (Tom Tarrani) of General Electric, who tells him that GE is unable to finance its daily operations. Paulson realizes the crisis has spread to Main Street.

Bemanke and Paulson lobby Congress, with Bernanke Cflllhasizing that a lack of credit helped make the Wall Street Crash of 1929 into the Great Depression, and that if Congress rails to act the fullout this titre will be fur worse. lbe legislation looks likely to pass, but is thrown into chaos when Senator John McCain suspends his campaign for presrlcnt to join the negotiations.

Paulson begs Congresswoman Nancy Pebsi not to back away from the negotiations, but too many Republicans vote "no," causing an irrmediate drop in the Dow of600 points. After a wave of panic and personal haranguing from President George W. Bush. the legio>lation passes on a second attempt. and the Errergency Economic Stabilization Act of2008 is signed into law.

Paulson decides that the only way to get credit !lowing again is direct capital injections. With the help ofFedernl Deposit Insurance Corporation chair Sheila Bair and the threat of an FDIC audit, Paulson informs the partK:ipating banks that they will be receiving rrandatory capital injectnns and they nuJSt use this mmey to get credit Jrming again. The banks agree. but Paulson balks at putting additional restrictions on how the funds are to be used. Paulson's Treasury deputy fur public affiiirs (Cynthia Nixon) laments that the parties who caused the crisis are being allowed to dictate the temlS. Bemankc states that he hopes the banks will use the funds as intended.

An cpilohrue reveals that although markets drl stabiliz.e and the banks reparl their Troubled Asset Relief Program finis. credit standards continued to tighten resulting in rising unemployment and fureclosures. As bank rrergers continued in the wake of the crisis, these banks became even larger and. at the tiire of the filrn.

that, in Mr. Sorkin's view, doing nothing would haw been

catastrophic. The mO\·ic is heavy on the idea that saving

!ht> troubled banks l'l.'<jUirt'd merging them with healthy

banks, thus creating new instih1tions that are even bigger

than the ones that the go\'t>rnment rescued because they

were too big (tu be allowed) tu fail.

This version of evenl< is largely correct, 1 think. and the

movie tells it with exemplary darity. I've never l'omc duscr

than the two minutes after watching "Too Big to Fail" to

un<lcrstanding what a "eMlil default ;·wan" is (except possibly for an hour or so after

reading Michael Lewis's "Big Short"). The exposition can be heavy-handed. When Cynthia

Nixon of "Sex and the City,'' here playing the Treasury Department's head of public affairs,

asks, "What should I tell the press?." the movie stops for several minutes so that all the

men in the room can explain things to the only woman (and to us).

"Tuo Big to Fail" US<'S all the familiar "Law & Order" technique<; for creating a sense of

urgency on the cheap. People never se;,m to just sit at their desks while talking on the

phone. 1 nste.1d. they stride purposefully down long corridors, surrounded by a cloud of aides. barking into their Blarkllerrys. And as soon as the rnrrent plot den·lopment has

been taken care of. they just snap the phone shut without sa)·ing goodbye. Rude! llut

message com·eycd: 'Ibis is a crisis. 'lbere is no time for niceties.

Obnoxious, thumping music m the background can create tf.'flsion and suspense. no

matter how banal what's going on in the foregmund may be. The" Airplane· movies

mocked this conwnllun hilariously. In JOO Big to Fail· the hilarity is uninknded, but

genuine. The music behind a standard helicopter shot of Lower !llanhattan ll'ads you to

expect another &')lt. 11, but all )'OU get is more men in suits, more mcctin11s. more black

Town Cars.

Part of the fun of "Too Big to Fail" is trying to nxognizt> the famous jX'Ople from

Hollywood who are impersonating somewhat le...,; famous people from Washington and

Wall Street. Besides those already mentioned there is Ed Asner as Warren E. Buffett; Tony

Shalhoub as John J. Mack. t'hief executive of Morgan Stanley; and Rvan Handler (also of

'"Sex and the City") as Goldman Sachs's chief executi\'e. Lloyd C. Blankfein.

Bill Pullman is in a lot of mo\'ies and rarely seems to get the girl. Here, though, playing

the sua\'e .Jamie Dimon. chief executive of JP!llorgan Chase. he is the closest th mg to a

romantic lead in a story with virtually no women. lie doesn"t get the girl, because there is

no girl to get. But e\'en before the movie starts. he gets the securities firm Bear Steams.

with a big government suhsidy, and by movie's end he L< being begged to accept more

taxpayrr money t<> li!kc over a bank or two.

Speaking, J think, for the HBO-walxhi.ng publk, I would have liked to see a torrid affair

belwl-cn Mr. Dimon and the French finance minister. Christine La11ardc. Played hy Laila

Robins, she has only a brief cameo, beratmg Hank Paulson for allowing Lehman to go

under. But it's one of the highlights of the film when she calls him Honk. I suppose that

an affair in the movie was out of the question because (as far as we know) it never

hap1~mcd in real lite. It will be a happy moment when petty distinctions like this. between

fantasies and real life, disappear for good we·ve pretty much done it in Washington. Why

is Hollywood so far behind?

One of the fired employees is Peter and Seth's boss, Eric Dale (Stanley Tucci), head of risk nnnagcn-cnt on the floor. Dale atten1Jts to tcU his now fom't:r employer that the finn shoukl look into what he has been working on, but the contracted htunan resources statfhave no interest other than him quickly leaving the building. While Dale is being escorted out. he gives Peter a USB rocmory stick with a project he had been working on, telling him to ''be carefuf' jLL'>t as he boards the elevator.

Tiiat nighl Sullivan finishes Dale's project and discovers that current volatility in the firm's portrolio ofrmrtgage backed securities will soon exceed the historical volatility levels of the positions. Because of excessive leverage. if the firm's assets decrease by 25% in value. the finn will suffer a loss greater than its market capitalization. He also discovers that, given the nonnal length of time that the firm holds such sectuities, this loss must occur. Sullivan alert'> Emerson, who call<; floor head Sam Rogers (Kevin Spacey).

The empbyees remain at the firm for a series ofireetings with progressively more serror executives. including division head Jared Cohen (Simon Baker), chiefrisk nnnagement officer Sarah Robertson (Demi Moore). and filially CEO Jolm Tukl (Jeremy Irons). Cohen's plan is for the fin11 to quickly sell all of the toxX: assets before the irnrkct leant.'> of their worthlessness, thereby limiting the finris exposure, a cotrrse favored by Tuld over Rogers's strong objection. Rogers warns Cohen and Tuld that dtmving the firm's toxic assets 'Will spread the risk throughout the financial sector and will destroy the firm's relationships with its counterparties. He also warns Cohen that their customers will quickly learn of the fin11's plans, once they realize that the fin11 is only selling the toxic securities.

They fu13Uy locate Dale, who had been missing after his company phone was ttuned off. Dale is persuaded to coire in with the promise ofa generous fee and the threat ofhaving his severance package challenged ifhe didn't. Meanwhile. it i~ revealed that Robertson, Cohen, and Tuld were aware of the risks in the weeks leading up to the crisis. TuJd plan'> to ofter Robertson's resignatk>n to the board and eJ11lloyces as a scapegoat.

Befurc the nmkets open, Rogers tells his traders they will receive seven-figure bonuses if they achieve a 93% reduction in certain MBS asset disses in a "fire sale". He admits that the traders are effectively ending their careers by destroying their relationships with their clients. Meanwhile, Robertson and Dale sit in an ofOCe, being paid handsomely to do nothing for the day; Roberl'lon "igorously defends herself that she warned of the risks although perhaps not lowly enough.

The fibn received positive reviews from critics, garnering an 89% rating on Rotten Tomatoes with the consensus: ''Smut, tightly wound, and solidly acted. Margin Call turns the convoluted financial nl.!ltdown of'08 into

dialogue.'< 131A.0. Scott of The New York Times wrote: "It is hard to believe that "Margin Calf' is Mr. Chandor's first feature.

Roger Ebert wrote: '1 think the rrovie is about how its characters are concerned only by the welfure of their corporations. There is no larger sense of the public good.

Scott \\rote: '"'Margin Calf' is a thriller, rroving through ambient shadows to the anxious tempo of Nathan Larson's hushed. anxious score. It is also a horror movie. with disaster h.trking like an tmseen demm outside the skyscraper windows and behind the computer screens. It is also a workplace comedy of sorts. The crackling, syncopated dialogue and the plot, full ofreversals and double crosses, owe an obvious debt to David Marret's profane fublcs of deal-making 1mchisnxi. Hovering over all of it is the dark rommcc of capitat the elegance of numbers; the kinkiness of

The movie "Margin Call (bttp· //marg.inca!lmoyje.com/l," which opened this past weekend, advertises that it was inspired by a true story.

The fictional bead of a Wall Street firm "John Tuld" (a composite character resembling Merrill Lynch's John Thain and Lehman Brothers' Dick Fuld and played by the wonderfully villainous Jeremy Irons) is told that the firm is drowning in toxic mortgagebacked securities. Tuld orders his traders to rid the fim1's balance sheet of the junk by dumping it on unsuspecting counterparties and customers.

state of quiet panic trying to save themselves from a global catastrophe of their own making."

The movie doesn't inspire fury, as documentaries (http://www.sonyclassjcs.com/jnsjdejob/l about the financial crisis do, but "rather a mix of dread, disgust, pity and confusion," the Times said.

Those powerful emotions inspire gut-churning questions for the audience: Is this how Lehman Brothers crumbled? ls this how Merrill was rescued from ruin by Bank of America? Are these just thinly veiled depictions of Goldman Sachs (http: //dealbook nytimes com /2010 /oz/I 5 /goldman-to-settle-with-se-c-for-550-miUjon /? s<.:p=3&sq=goldman%2osa<,;hs%2ose<,;%2ofine&st=Search), Citigroup Chttp· //Yvww nytimes.com /2011 /10/20/busjness/citigroup=to-pay-28r;mil1ion-to-sett)e-sec-cbarges html? r=1&scp=2&sq=citjgroup&st=Searcbl and .JP Morgan (http: //dealbook.nytjmes.com/2011 /06/21 /jpmorgan-pays-153-mil!jon-to-settle-mortgage-casef?

Unfortunately for investors, the answer is "yes" to all of the above.

A:; the Times correctly noted, one of ilie running jokes in "Margin Call" is that the higher up an executive is on the corporate totem pole, the less likely he is to understand how the firm and its traders cook up the toxic brew of mortgage-backed securities. Their ignorance seems almost a point of pride for the exel'Utives. Various lords of Wall Street tell us. "I don "t get any of thi~ sh1ff," at key points throughout the film.

&5/2014 The Director Of 'Margin Call' Re-..eals The E\EOI That Inspired The Film- Business Insider

BUSINESS INSIDER

The Director Of 'Margin Call' Reveals The Event That Inspired The Film

JULIA LA ROCHE

.J.C. Chandor, the 37-year-old director of the new financial crisis film called "Margin Call," was first inspired to make the movie because of an event that happened in 2006 before the financial meltdown.

During that time, Chandor, a veteran documentary producer and commercial director, was trying to make a living a real estate developer, he told the crowd at the Angelika Film Center on Friday.

He had formed a partnership with a few

J.C. Chander

others with plans to revamp an old industrial building in Tribeca.

Eventually, the group started getting offers on the building.

At that time, a "very senior" investment banker, who Chandor referred to as a "godfather," stepped in and warned them to "take offers on the building."

They listened and sold the building.

"A year and a half later, the financial world literally comes to an end. And I started thinking back to what it was like. What did he know? What was he literally seeing that made him say something?" Chandor told Movie Line in an interview.

Chandor's movie "Margin Call" is a low budget indie film with big stars such as Kevin Spacey, Stanley Tucci, Penn Badgley and Demi Moore.

The Director Of 'Margin Call' Releals The Elent That Inspired The Film· Business Insider

The plot centers around a fictional investment bank going through a Lehman-like crisis where the firm is trying to dump its massive exposure to soured mortgagebacked securities in order to save the firm.

We watched the film on Friday night and Chandor did a question and answer session with the audience afterwards where he revealed some interesting facts about the film.

• Margin Call does not occur during a specific date. That's on purpose because Chandor wanted the film to be set during anytime and not just 2008.

• One reason the dialogue portrays accurate investment banking lingo is because Chandor grew up around finance professionals. His father worked for :\Ierrill Lynch.

• The chief executive officer John Tuld (Jeremy Irons) is a combination of Merrill Lynch's ex-CEO John Thain and Lehman Brother's ex-CEO Dick Fuld.

• The investment bank in the movie is not Lehman Brothers. "It's not Lehman and this bank in the movie is still in business," Chandor said.

• The movie was purposely written to be shot in one location. The location was at One Penn Plaza at an old hedge fund's office and they also used Citi's trading floor.

615/2014 Margin Call Mo1AeRe-.1ew& FilmS!nrnary(2011) I Roget Ebert

In Memoriam i942 - 2013 I * * * * MARGIN CALL

* * * tf I Roger Ebert

October 19. 2011 I• 5

It may have happened something like this. "Margin Call" depicts the last night of good times on Wall Street, as a deadly certainty travels up the executive ladder at an investment firm: Disastrous speculation in the mortgage markets is leading to the firm's collapse. We can still recall those days in the summer of 2008,

during the Obama-McCain campaign, when America seemed awash in prosperity, and the stock market was setting records. Then one firm after another was forced to declare bankruptcy, the nation's economic structure was threatened, and Congress ponied up its huge bailout.

"Margin Call" begins on a day at an unnamed investment firm that must certainly have an inkling of what's coming, since Bo percent of the work force is laid off. One of the victims is Eric (Sta nle\· Tnl'd), a senior risks analyst who like many of his colleagues was incapable of seeing that the real estate market was built as a house of cards. Although \\-Titer-director J.C. Chandor's film has sympathy for most of its characters, it is important to remember that they all felt they had to play along ·with the deals that were bringing their firms such huge profits and bonuses.

On his way out the door, Eric slips a USB drive to Peter (Zacharv Quinto), a younger analyst who wasn't fired. There's information on it that disturbs him. So it should. While the office is empty, and the survivors are out partying to celebrate not being fired, Peter realizes the firm and the market are clearly trembling on the brink. He contacts his supervisor, Will (Paul Bettanv), who takes one look and calls his boss, Sam

(Kt•\ in Spaq·,·). Others are called in for an all-night emergency meeting until at dawn as a helicopter brings

in CEO John Tuld (.Jcrerm· I rems).

You don't need to understand a Jot about the markets to follow the film. John is a cool, polished Brit who likes to say things like, "Speak to me in plain terms," because his job requires him to manage the corporation but not necessarily understand its business. Indeed, as we now know, a fresh young college graduate could have looked at the balance sheets and clearly seen Wall Street was doomed.

It is up to John to make the margin call. In other words, to order his company to start dumping worthless holdings before the word spread that they are worthless - essentially, betraying their customers. It has now been established that some firms created hedge funds intended to fail, so they could make money betting

against them. These they sold to their customers knov.ing they were worthless.

I think the movie is about how its characters are concerned only by the welfare of their corporations. There is no larger sense of the public good. Corporations are amoral, and exist to survive and succeed, at whatever human cost. This is what the Occupy Wall Street protesters are angry about: They are not against capitalism, but about Wall Street dishonesty and greed.

"Margin Call" employs an excellent cast who can make financial talk into compelling dialogue. They also can reflect the enormity of what is happening: Their company and their lives are being rendered meaningless. This scenario was enacted at many Wall Street institutions on the autumn of 2008, and fundamental financial reform is still being opposed. No particular firm is named, but doesn't it seem to you that the name of the Jeremy Irons character, "John Tuld," has an echo of Richard Fuld, CEO of Lehman Brothers, who collected enormous bonuses for leading his company into bankruptcy?

Irons is sly in the role, a man who knows his own financial stability is unassailable, who considers his job as an amoral exercise, who has made it to the top by not particularly caring about people. A great corporate executive must have a strain of ruthlessness. I also admired Kevin Spacey, who projects incisive intelligence in his very manner, and Demi :\loore, as a senior executive who has risen to just below the glass ceiling and

knows she will stay there.

The physical world of the film itself is effective. It's all glass, steel and protocol, long black cars and executive perks, lmmrious lifestyles paid for ·with what was inescapably fraud. One of the characters has a sick dog. The dog is the only creature in the entire film that anyone likes.

Margin Call (2011) : mTo'"'"Ac'

i1l.

Number Crunching at the Apocalypse _4 U SCCTT

There have been reports of hurt feelings among the bankers and

brokers who have been the focus of puhlk ire and Occupy Wall Street

protests. And it is trne that those poor, hard-working souls have been

dcmonized and caricatured. Surely the much-re\'iled l percent does

not consi,;t of plutocrats in top hats or predators in blur suit•, but of

human beings just like the other 99 percent of us, albeit with more

monry and perhaps more to answer for.

to imply far more than he shows or says and to orchestrate

a large, complex droma out or whispers, glances and

snippets of jargon - is downright awe inspiring. The movie

investment bank Ooosely modeled on 1.ehman Brothers) in

which it takes place and limits its action, which consists

mainly of phone calls and hurried meetings, to a frenzied

:.!4-hour P<'riod. Within that narrow frame the gears of a complex narrative mesh with ravishing ckl<'kwork

precbion.

"Margin Call" is a thriller, moving through ambient

shadows to the anxious tempo of Nathan Larson's hush<-<l.

anxious score. It is aoo a horror movie. with disao1er

lurking like an unseen demon outside the sk-yscrapcr

windows and behind the computer screens. It is also a

workplace comt-dy of sorts. The crackling, syncopated

dialogue and the plot, tull of reversal~ and double crosses,

owe an om·iuus debt to David Mamet's profane fables of

deal-making machismo. Hovering over all of it is the dark

romance of capital: the elegance of numbers; the kinkiness

of nwner; the rleep, rotten, erotic allure of powfi.

If no one in this world is patently evil, no one is innocent either. A young risk analyst

named Peter Sullivan (Z;icbary ! lujntol may he as dose as the mo\'ie comes to a hero, hut

it is also possihle to Sloe what happens to him as a parable of bow the system ('orrupts and

learn has a Ph.D. in physics) glimpses a si~n of the apo<:alY1lSc lurking in a mathematical

model. Recent volatility in the market is threatening the stability of the mortgag~-based

securities that ha\'C been generating most of the company's profits. and the resulting los.o;cs

are likely to swallow this bank and make trillions of dollars vanish into thin air.

Which pretty much happened of course. TI1e ta'k Mr. Chandor sets himself is not to

explain, once again. what occurred in 200!1- though a comparison with the journalistic

records suggests that "Margin Call" is broadly accurate - hut rather lo explore the

psychological pressures and ethical choices at work among those who raught an early

glimp.<e of the abyss and then helped push everyone el<e into it

Peter alerts his callow co-worker Seth Bregman (Penn Badgley) and their immediate

superior, Will F.merwn, a eynical soldier played by Paul Bettany. In a gangster mm·ie Will

would 1"' the midlevel enforct"r, entrusted with the dirty work but denied real authority,

oversees the sales force that has been peddling the bad securities. and he must nuw carry

the bad news upstairs. thmul(h several more layers of company hierarchy.

There is a knse showduwn with Sarah Rubertson (:-.Is. Moore), who seems tu have

promoted tl1e scheme that is no\\ unraveling and who may have ignort.'<I warnings about

its outcome, E\·entually word of what Peter has learned reaches John Tuld (~

l=J, the charming, dapper, black-hearted boss of bosses, who arrives by helicopter in

the dead of night like a vampire !mmmon.,J from the crypt

One of the rnnning jokes of Mr. Chandor's script is that the higher a person's rank, the less

he is likely to understand what tbe finn is actually doing. This ignorance is almost a point

of pride. "I don't get any of this stuff' - this line is repeated about Pete.r's di-;covery by

Will, then Sam, then Sam's boss, ,Jared Cohen (Simon Baker) and then Tuld l n a further

absurdity, one person who does get it, Peter's mentor, Eric Dale (Stanll'r TwTil has just

Finance

Margin Call: allll"e spills of hign.le\el corporate finance. bul lewlt'lills I Film I lheguardiancom

It's just another day in 2008 for Margin Call's unnamed investment bank, which is based

on Lehman Brothers. Profits are down and 80% of the staff on the trading floor are being

]aid off. Among those cut is Eric Dale (Stanley Tucci), head of risk management. As he is

ushered out by a security guard, he slips a key drive to his erstwhile minion Peter

Sullivan (Zachary Quinto). "I was working on something, but they wouldn't let me finish

it," he hisses. "Be careful." Peter takes a look, and quickly realises Unnamed Investment

Bank Based on Lehman Brothers is so far up a certain creek that even a paddle would

only be of any use if they could all somehow commit hara-kiri with it.

Economics

Margin Call tries to make clear the reason for the problems at Unnamed Investment

Bank, but whenever someone starts getting into the details it sounds like: "Well, sir,

we're now leveraged up to our historical volatility index limits, and if you cross the

streams in the flux capacitor Skynet will become self-aware at 2.14am Eastern Time."

At least, that's what I wrote in my notes. I may have drifted off for a minute. So

impossible is it to set out what's going on without immediately boring and confusing the

audience that both Paul Bettany and Kevin Spacey have to ask Peter to explain it "in

English". Finally they summon the big boss, John Tuld (Jeremy Irons), whose name

hints that he may be based on rea1-1ife former Lehman CEO Dick Fuld. "Speak as you

might to a sma11 child," Tuld teUs Peter. "Or as you would to a golden retriever."

Unfortunately, it turns out that even faced \<\ith a golden retriever Peter would yammer

on about things like trading security, product layering and market capitalisation. May be

he's a cat person.

Responsibility

Perhaps no feature-length film can hope to convey what happened at Lehman Brothers,

which was sufficiently complex to fill nine volumes of a court examiner's report in 2010.

Margin Call manages to get it across that Unnamed Investment Bank has bought too

many subprime mortgage assets and those have now turned out to be toxic, but it

underplays the crisis in the rest of the banking sector at the time. Nor does the human

drama ever hit the high pitch it needs, bearing in mind that this film has no sex, no

violence, no explosions and no velociraptors - even though just a couple of those

released into the boardroom would really have livened things up. It's just a lot of

obscenely rich people standing around wearing suits, looking mildly disgruntled because

they've just broken the world. Historical1y speaking, of course, this is realistic.

People

Most movies about business don't work, and the few that do pull it off by having whip

smart dialogue and characters you care about. Margin Cal1 has neither. The ensemble

cast, though fantastically talented, are used to modest effect. John Tuld is never allowed to be as fearsome as the real-life Dick Fuld, a man known as "the Gorilla of Wall Street".

Neither of the whistleblowers, Eric and Peter, has enough screentime to carry the film as

a hero. Kevin Spacey's character, trading-floor boss Sam Rogers, almost gets to be

heroic, but spends much of the film moping about his chocolate labrador (no, not a golden

retriever), which is slowly dying of incurable cancer. It's best not to look too closely at

this storyline in case the labrador turns out to be less the faithful hound, more a clunky

metaphor for capitalism. Again, it is realistic that everyone in the film is slightly hopeless

rather than being a fully-fledged hero or villain - but people being slightly hopeless isn't

that thrilling to watch.

Verdict

If there is a great movie to be made about the global financial crisis, Margin Call isn't

quite it.

The Wall Street Money Machine

Margin Call: A Small Movie Unveils Big Truths About Wall Street

Zodiary Qmnto as PetrrSuliit·ari ond Penn Badgley cu· S<'th 81"i'gman m Maryln ('(;II, (.lo.Jo k'l1Plden/Roadsit.lt Attmctions)

Spoiler ulert: This article discusses key scenes from the film .

. J.C. Chandor has embraced Rahm Emanuel's dictum "ne\'er let a serious crisis go to waste." The 37-year-old writer and director used the financial crisis as a springboard to create the most insightful Wall Street movie e\'er filmed. Margin Call captures a day in the life of a Lehman Brothers-like bank as it scrambles to avoid falling into the first cracks of the financial crisis. Briskly paced and man·elously acted. the mm· ie re\"eals how large financial institutions operate and the motivations of the people who work within them.

Margin Call should not be confused with journalism. It is not a precise O\·erlay of the financial crisis. You'll never hear the words collateralized debt obligations uttered in the mO\·ie. As the reporting [1) I did with my colleague ,Jesse Eisinger showed, the Wall Street behm·ior that helped create the financial crisis was often much worse than what's depicted in the morie. Chandor isn't looking for \"illians or lengthy explanations. He's mining deeper truths than the intricacies of credit default swaps. The societal costs of high finance, the power of self-rationalization, and the easy embrace of personal corruption is his terrain.

As reporters cm·ering the beat know, Wall Street is a reluctant participant in introspection .• Journalists investigating the Street have to pierce a code of omerta, borne of the fear of lawsuits and federal im·estigations. No one wants to ha,·e the reputation of being a snitch in an industry where hiring and bonuses are based on relationships as much as quarterly results. The truth is even more tightly held when it hides the origins of financial disaster, but eren in the best of times, these are not, by nature, na,·el gazers. Traders and market makers are like sharks, always wanting to mO\·e forward, onto the next deal. There is no percentage in looking back.

All you need to know about the moral universe Margin Call inhabits is on display in the opening scene of the mo\'ie. The downturn has begun. The firing squad-· represented by two women in identical business suits -- arri\'eS on the trading floor trailed by underlings carrying cardboard boxes to cart away personal effects. When they come into dew, a series of swift reactions plays across the face of Will Emerson, a senior trader acted brilliantly by Paul Bettany. First fear. Then dismay. And finally, relief and dismi.ssal. After 80 percent of the floor is axed, Emerson's boss, Sam, a wan Ke\' in Spacey. gh·es a pep talk to the traders left standing. "They were good. You are better. Now they are gone. They are not to be thought of again."

Among the casaulties is the risk manager for the trading group, Eric Dale, played by Stanley Tucci On the way out the door, Dale tells his young protege, Peter Sulli\'an, that he has been working on something important. As the ele\'ator closes, he hands Sulli\'an a zip dri\"e and says cryptically, "Be careful."

Sullivan, played by Zachary Quinto, who also helped produce the mm·ie, waits until the office clears for the night and then dives into the figures. To his horror, he discm·ers the bank is massively over leveraged. If trends continue, projected )Q;Ses are much greater than the rnlue of the firm. Upon learning how dire the situation has become, the CEO .John Tuld, portrayed by a scene-chewing Jeremy Irons, says, "So what you are telling me is that the music is about to stop and we are going to be left holding the biggest bag of oderous excrement ever assembled in the history of capitalism."

Sullirnn is the questioning heart of Margin Call. He has a doctorate in engineering with a speciality in propulsion -- literally a rocket scientist. And like so many of the best and brightest of his generation, he turned to Wall Street, where Chandor clearly believes his gain is society's loss. \'.nen one of his superiors asks Sulln·an why he has foresaken engineering, he responds: "It's all just numbers really.just changing what you are adding up, and to speak freely, the

money here is considerably more attractn·e."

Sullirnn operates in the constricted space of the Wall Street risk manager. Risk managers and accountants are among the few who actually know what the numbers mean. They see the whole picture. It's a running joke through the mm·ie that Sulln·an's bosses, right up to the CEO, don't understand the financial wizardry behind the products they make and sell. When confronted with Sulln·an's analysis, Sam says, "Oh .Jesus, you know I can't read these things .. Just speak to me in English."

The risk manager is not in sales, which is the heart and soul of the institution. He or she only offers recommendations. Throughout Margin Call there are a number of references to warnings unheeded. And indeed, in the real world, the success of in\'estment banks at sub,·erting their risk management rules correlated nicely with how badly they fared when the crisis hit. In the ultimate irony, when it's time for someone to take the fall for the firm's risk taking, it's the head of risk management, played by Demi Moore who is pushed to the scaffold.

Sulln·an and his side-kick Seth, played by Penn Badgley, are still new enough to the system to be doubtful of its utility. Seth is enamored with the money Wall Street offers and particularly impressed by his boss Will Emerson, who pulled down s2.5 million the pre\ious year. They briefly wonder whether that's "right," but push the unwelcome thought away unanswered.

When Emerson tells the eager young men that "you learn to spend what is in your pocket" and that most of his money is gone, they are incredulous. He itemizes his expenses for them, including S76,520 for hookers, booze and dancers. Their adulation only increases when he admits he claimed most of that back as entertainment expenses.

Loter when Seth bemoans the fact that normal people will be hurt by their actions, Emerson's ferocious response is shocking both for its amorality and its kernels of truth.

"If you really want to do this with your life you ha1·e to believe that you're necessary. And you are. People want to live like this in their cars and their big fucking houses that they can't even pay for? Then you're necessary. The only reason they all get to continue lh-ing like kings is because we\e got our fingers on the scales in their fa1·or. I take my hand off and the whole world gets really fucking fair really fucking quickly and nobody actually wants that. They say they do but they don't. They want what we ha\'e to gn·e them, but they also want to play innocent and pretend they have no idea where it came from. That's more hypocrisy than I'm willing to swallow. Fuck them. Fuck normal people."

Faced with the pile of excrement on the books, the archly named Tuld (Lehman Brothers CEO was Dick Fuld) decides the bank must unload it, and quickly, before customers wise up. At this jX)int, the mode could just as easily be called, "Damage Control: \\'hen Greed Turns to Fear."

Sam tries to talk Tuld out of his plan. "If you do this, you will kill the market for years. It's O\'er. And you are selling something that you know has no 1·alue," he says.

Tuld responds \\ith the excuse e\'ery Wall Street executn·e used when in\'estigators came calling after the shit hit the im·estors: "We are selling to ''illing buyers at the current fair market price so that we may survn·e."

In the real world, the buyers were not as sophisticated and the deals not as transparant as bankers claimed.

The House always wins, Emerson tells his young charges. The corollary is that e\·ef)·body is for sale. Indeed, anyone who has qualms in the mm·ie finds the right price for their acquiesence. In this world, traders earn bonuses for screwing their customers. Tucci's character is told he can lose his health care and stock options-· or keep them while sitting quietly in a room for a day at $176,476 an hour. "It didn't seem like much of a choice," he says.

Beyond the sheer entertainment value of the movie, Chandor's biggest coup is his willingness to indict a system rather than simply blame the indn·iduals within it. Ultimately, Margin Call is the story of a Wall Street that has evolved from an economic helpmate to an economic predator.

The narre of tr1e n<iin protagonist, Gru, appears to be taken from the Russian Military Intelligence agency GRU. GRU 1s an acronym for Glavnoye Razvedyvatel'noye Upravleniye (roughly translates to Main Intelligent Departrrent/Directorate), the foreign mlitary 1ntelhgence directorate of the Russian Anred Forces. It 1s the largest Russian intelligence agency, six tirres larger than the SVR (forrrerly the KGB). This may hint at Gru's own origins. Sec rnre ))

The plot is very interesting to keep you engrossed throughout the rrovie.lt 1s not a very original plot but has the very hurrorous dialogs and acts.

Steve Carell's 1s SIMPLY armzing, he 1s funny in a very different way ... he is the king of the awkward eni:larrassing insulting type of con'edy. You can't help but remerrber Steve carell's dunng some of the dialog deliveries.

One of the funniest animation rmv1e. Definitely Worth Watching twice.

With Pixar releasing two movies in 2015, Walt Disney Animation Studios is taking the year off from the big screen ... but they will quickly be back in action in early 2016. This is when the brand new feature Zootopia is set to come out around the world, and from the look of the footage we saw this past , it's a movie for which we should all be very excited.

The upcoming animated film, directed by Byron Howard ( ) and Rich Moore ( ), is set in a fantastical world filled with a whole variety of anthropomorphic animals, and it took center stage this past Friday during the

animation presentation at Disney's biennial in Anaheim, California. The filmmakers, along with actress Ginnifer Goodwin and producer Clark Spencer, gave

the convention center crowd an in-depth look at what to expect from Zootopia, and

the presentation generated a great deal of laughter before it was over.

In the film, Goodwin voices Judy Hopps, a rabbit who had a soft upbringing living in

the borough known as The Burrows, and is desperate to make it as a big city cop. Unfortunately, this is a job normally taken by much bigger animals, like rhinoceroses, so Judy is forced to be a meter maid. After one especially successful day of writing up tickets, she decides to reward herself with a bit of ice cream - and this was the

With Pixar releasing two movies in 2015. Walt Disney Animation Studios is taking

The clip began in an ice cream parlor that is run for and primarily caters to elephants, with Judy standing in the back of a long line. She muses about the ridiculous portions - noting that "Junior" sizes are almost as big as she is - but she adds that it's a good thing she eats like a horse (a line that happens to insult the horse patron who is standing right behind her). At the front of the line is a character

whom we eventually learn is named Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman). a fox who is standing beside a very cute critter whom he identifies as his son.

Talking with the giant, surly elephant at the counter, Nick attempts to order a Jumbo Pop for his young son. but the clerk argues that the treat is way too big for the kid

and will just wind up making a huge mess. Other people in line begin to complain. but that's when the fox hits them all with a heartbreaking tale: his son thinks that he

is an elephant, and even though every day is a battle. he "can't break his heart and

tell him that he can't be an elephant." It's at this cue that the young one by Nick's side throws on an elephant mask and starts adorably honking through the fake trunk.

The frustrated clerk is touched by the story and asks for $15 dollars. and it's at this point that Nick reveals that he forgot his wallet. .. at the orphanage where he just

picked up his son. Judy perks up as she hears this second sob story, Nick saying that he made the best decision of his life 30 minutes ago. and that it's the kid's fourth

birthday (the doctors said he'd never make it past three). The na'ive Judy calls for

the clerk to give the kid the Jumbo Pop for free. but when he refuses she offers to

pay for the dessert herself. Nick thanks Judy and mentions that folks in The Burrows don't usually trust foxes. but she is ever the optimist. leaning down to Nick's kid and

saying, "This is Zootopia. where you can be proud who you are. and anyone can be anything."

As you may have guessed by this point. Nick is actually a con artist. and while the clip ended at this point. director Rich Moore explained the fox's ingenious plan for the aforementioned Jumbo Pop. After getting the treat for free, he travels to the

desert-covered Sahara Square, and uses the heat to melt it. He then goes over to the ice-covered Tundra Town, where he uses the large amount of popsicle juice to

create many smaller popsicles. He then travels to the Lemming Brothers Bank -because if he can sell to one of them. he can sell them all. The cherry on top of this

diabolical plan, though, is that he takes all of the used sticks and sells them to the

people of the small-scaled Little Rodentia as lumber. Needless to say, the guy knows how to hatch a scheme ... but that wasn't all we got to see from Zootopia!

'Zootopia' review: Disney animation is thoughtful, if formulaic tale preaching tolerance

By John Serba I [email protected]

Follow on Twitter

My mild ennui for "Zootopia" is entirely contextual. Pixar and Studio Ghibli are so remarkably

good at crafting animated stories. they render an otherwise worthwhile effort from Disney

underwhelming. The Mouse House's recent output just seems too desperately eager to

please - "Big Hero 6," "Wreck-It Ralph" and crossover marketing phenom "Frozen" feel

calculated and clunky compared to Pixar's wondrous "Inside Out." "Up," "WALL-E" and "Toy

Story" series, and Ghibli's evocative "Spirited Away," "Ponyo," "Howl's Moving Castle" and

"The Wind Rises."

Of course, Pixar and Ghibli are owned and/or distributed by Disney, which gets the last laugh

while I nitpick. It's telling that "Zootopia" features a joke in which the mere uttering of the

words "let it go" prompted a major laugh at the screening I attended - a reference aimed

smack at the family-with-grade-schoolers demographic Disney so frequently and

successfully bullseyes. There's a sophistication to Pixar and Ghibli works that Disney's in

house animation studio foregoes. contriving its films for youngsters. which is a nice way of

saying it talks down to its audience a bit.

The message in "Zootopia" is a worthy one. however. The story of Judy Hopps (voice of

Ginnifer Goodwin). a plucky bunny from the sticks who moves to the big city to be a cop,

tackles timely and poignant issues of antipathy and prejudice. Ms. Hopps was once bullied by

knows judging the red-furred mammals as a species and not as individuals is wrong, yet she

carries the repellent anyway.

It should come to no surprise that she meets a streetwise con-artist fox, Nick Wilde (Jason

Bateman), during her first day on the job, a contrivance necessary to test her bias. and for

the film to therefore deliver its moral. Nick's connections to the Zootopia underworld

come in handy as she pursues a missing-animals case. which ties to a bizarre plot where

carnivores are turning savage - a threat to the peaceful co-existence to which the animals

in this reality have evolved. It's a clever twist. considering that foxes and rabbits in our

own reality have a simpler predator-prey relationship.

However, Judy's work on the case goes against her orders. She's the first of her species to

overachieve and make the police force, and Chief Bogo (Idris Elba), a towering water

buffalo, deems her unworthy of serious work. assigning her to parking duty. She's too

small, too much of a "dumb bunny." She's too easily labeled "cute," which. Judy imparts. is

character, we know she's capable of rising above the stereotypes. but others need to be won over by the greater truth. Bogo is

unimpressed even with the efficiency of her work as a meter maid. but. after being pressured by the mayor's office - pushing an

3122/2016 'Zootopia' review: Disney animation is thoughtful, if formulaic tale preaching tolerance I Mlive.com

Yes, there are plenty of jokes - references to "The Godfather" and "Breaking Bad," a gag about the Lemming Brothers bank (is it

commentary, or just a pun? Probably just a pun) and a great bit, spoiled by the trailers, in which we learn the DMV is run in sub

slow-motion by sloths. In other words, stuff to keep the adults amused while the kids are enthralled by cute talking animals, a few

pop songs by Shakira (who voices Gazelle, a clever parody of a singing starlet) and heaps of eye candy. Such is the formula, and

it seems dictated more by Disney suits than visionary filmmakers. And "Zootopia's" makers are legion, with three directors and

eight writers hammering the material into shape, so they can hammer the message home.

And here, I feel a need to apologize for such cynicism. "Zootopia" is a vibrant and smart movie, light in tone yet substantive in

moral precept. At times, though, it feels more like commercial compromise - I sense the calculation of lucrative franchising via

Disney Channel spinoffs and endless merchandising - than the distinctive art of superior animated works. But Disney also

realizes kids are sponges, and offering its audience a tale of tolerance via an optimist like Ms. Hopps is most certainly a

worthwhile endeavor.

Zootopia

A-II (PG)

3.::.::016 -i:o8 P:\1 ET

NEW YORK (CNS) --Anthropomorphism runs amok in the 3-D animated comedy-adventure "Zootopia" (Disney).

As with Disney's "Cars" franchise, which presented a world of automobiles with human traits, "Zootopia" personifies all

creatures great and small. They jabber away among themselves

as each earns a hing in the bustling metropolis of the title.

Inside jokes and dever puns abound. City dwellers shop at

Targoat. sip lattes from Snarlbucks, call up a ride from Zuber -and make deposits at the Lemming Brothers Bank.

At the OMV, short for the Department of Mammal Vehides, the lines are long and all of the employees are three-toed sloths who, true to their name, move at a glacial pace.

The newest arrival in this urban setting, where predators and prey liw in apparent harmony, is Judy

Hopps (mice of Ginnifer Good\\in). A bright-eyed and bushy-tailed rabbit from the suburbs. Judy is

eager to fulfill her lifelong dream by becoming the first bunny officer of the Zootopia Police Department.

TI1rough grit and perseverance, she succeeds, only to face resentment and prejudice from her peers as

well as her boss, the imposing buffalo Chief Bogo (mice of Idris Elba). He assigns Judy to parking duty. while much larger cops (including an elephant and a rhino) take on important criminal cases.

Detenuined to make the best of it, Judy hops into action. As she racks up the tickets, she encounters '~ily fox Nick Wilde (voiced by Jason Bateman), a small-time con artist.

It turns out that Nirk is a key witness in a missing "person" case that Judy wants to solve to v.in the respect of her co-workers. As natural enemies become collaborators and, ultimately, friends, "Zootopia"

morphs into a buddy movie.

Directors B)Ton Howard ("Tangled") and Rich Moore ("Wrerk-It Ralph"), together \\ith oo-director Jared

Bush, keep the action moving at a fast pace. Unfortunately, the fihn takes a dark tum as the investigation

confuse the younger set.

And that's not to mention the somewhat paradoxical naturist club where animals shed their clothes.

Parents will smile at references to classic films that will fly over their children's heads. Particularly

amusing is Mr. Big (voice of Maurice LaMarche), a tiny arctic shrew who's a dead ringer for Don

Corleone in "The Godfather." As the mobster threatens our furry duo, the wedding reception scene plays

out in the background, and before long Mr. Big is dancing with the bride.

Overall, despite its mixed tone, "Zootopia" offers good lessons in tolerance, hard work and optimism. As

Judy reassures Nick, "Life's a little bit messy We all make mistakes"

The film contains occasional mild action violence, including torture, bullying, a naturist theme, some rude

gags and momentary religious but not irreverent humor. TI1e Catholic News Service classification is A-II -

- adults and adolescents. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG -- parental guidance

suggested. Some material may not be suitable for children.

CAPSULE REVIEW

"Zootopia" (Disney)

Anthropomorphism runs amok in this 3-D animated comedy-adventure with animals of all shapes and

sizes assuming human traits and jabbering away as they earn a living in the bustling metropolis of the

title. A bright-eyed, bushy-tailed suburban-reared rabbit (voice of Ginnifer Goodwin) joins the city

police department but faces resentment and prejudice from her peers as well as her buffalo boss (voice of

Idris Elba). Assigned to parking duty, she crosses paths with a con-artist fox (voice of Jason Bateman)

who happens to be a key witness in a high-profile missing-persons case that has the potential to win her

the respect of her co-workers. Directors Byron Howard and Rich Moore, together with co-director Jared

Bush, keep the action moving at a fast pace, and offer good lessons in tolerance, hard work and optimism.

The film takes a dark turn as the investigation proceeds, however, leading to scenes of animal conflict and

cruelty that could frighten and confuse the younger set. Occasional mild action violence, including torture,

bullying, a naturist theme, some rude gags, momentary religious but not irreverent humor. The Catholic

film from Walt Disney Animation - a studio that knows a thing or two about

adorable bunny. a slippery fox and a shrew that does a halnrny decent Marlon

Brando impression might haw something meaningful to say about race

relations, especially in :BlackLiws::\Iatter America. sounds pretty ridiculous.

But ifs true.

The determined rabbit-protagonist of "Zootopia" is Judy Hopps

(enthusiasticall!· \'Oiced by Ginnifer Goodwin of "Once Cpon a Time"). Hm·ing

longed to be a police officer. Jud!· finall!· gets the chance. thanks to a

"mammal-inclusion effott" focused on recrniting cops of di\'erse

backgrounds. After she is assigned to the downtown precinct in Zootopia. a

miniatmized Little Rodentia to the lush Rainforest District. Jud!· shows up

for work b1ight-eyed. quite literall>· bushy-tailed and ready to stmt upholding

the law. But when she's stuck in a demoralizing stint issuing parking tickets.

she realizes that being an officer is going to be more messy than imagined.

Among other things. she ·n hm·e to owrcome unfair preconceptions about her

abilities, forge a tentatiw partnership \Ii th that untrustwmthy fox (rniced.

a ~·01mg bunny rabbit named Judy Hopps, yearns to be a cop. At one

I Zootopia

Trivia 1EJ

There is a poster for Zootop1a in B1<J H•cro 6 (2014) when Baymax and Hirn fly under the train tracks.

It was November 2014 when the production team decided to change the story to emphasize Judy Hopps as the main character rather than Nick Wilde. To help with the difficulties of the late sudden change, R1d1 ~1'J('11c was hired as a director alongside t-=:.r: 1 r, ii(\\ d and !;1·ed E"lus!1.

Mr. B1g's home is based on The Godfatlkr (1972). The driveway is blocked off with a chain, the house 1s modeled after Vito Corleone's place, and the study/office resembles the Godfather's study. The main characters, Officer Hopps and Nick, also are brought to Mr. B1g's on the day of his daughter's wedding, which is how The Godfather opens.

The pirated DVDs that Duke Weaselton is selling are movies with wordplays to other Walt Disney Animation Studio features. Examples are "Pig Hero 6", ("Big Hero 6"), "Wrangled" (''Tangled"), "Wreck-It Rhino" ("Wreck-It Ralph"), "Meowana" (the upcoming "Moana"), "Giraffic" (the upcoming "Gigantic"), and "Floatzen 2" (the upcoming "Frozen 2").

Originally, the film revolved around Nick Wilde (voiced by Jason Batema11 ). However, test audiences reported that they had a hard time connecting with him emotionally and instead found themselves drawn to Judy Hopps (voiced by C11H<1tc-1 1_;nwlw1n ), so the story was changed.

Duke Weaselton is voiced by Alan Tudyk, who also voiced the Duke of Weselton (often mispronounced Weaseltown) in F1 oz<en (2013). Humorously, Judy mispronounces Duke's last name as "Weselton" in this movie.

Some have speculated that Judy Hopps from Zootopia is a reference to Judy Hoffs from : 1 1 Jump "!red (1987). Other than their remarkably similar names, they are both law enforcement officers who face workplace discrimination. According to By1 on Howa 1 d, this is "a hilarious but amazing coincidence."

Nick Wilde's design is heavily based on the Title Character Disney's Robin Ho,,,j (1973) (who is also a fox).

This is the third film in the Disney Animated Features canon to have anthropomorphic

animals with no humans or non-anthropomorphic animals. The other two being Huod ( 1973) and Cl111:kt:n Little (2005).

It's also the 7th Disney Animated Feature Film to have no human characters at all. The others being Bambi (1942), Robin Hood (1973), Tlk Gr•-at Mouse DHc ct1vP {1986), ! 1,,.

l.1•x1 k1m1 (1994), Dinosaur (2000), and Ch1dc-c1 Litt!'" (2005).

In P>11J tfrro f {2014), character Honey Lemon's smartphone case looks like Nick Wilde.

Nick calls Judy Hopps by her first name only once in the film. He more commonly calls her "Rabbit" or "carrots".

Mr. Otterton's full name, Emmitt Otterton, is a reference to En1nkt Ott.-1

( 11· 1otm11s (1977). a .11111 Henson TV special, according to Byron Howard.

Judy's cellphone provider, as seen on her screen, is PB&J.

This is the fourth consecutive Disney animated feature for Al.1n Tudyk as an antagonistic role, following Wreck· It Ralph (2012) (as the Main Antagonist), F1

(2013) (as the Secondary Antagonist), and B:u Hrc·1 o (2014) (as an Anti-hero). Interestingly enough, Duke Weaselton is the first of the character's voiced by Tudyk to not be a Human.

The horn heard when Judy Hopps leaves her hometown and again when she arrives in Zootopia is the horn from the Monorail at Disney Parks. The SkyTram in the rainforest

zone is a reference to the Skyway that ferried guests from Fantasyland to

Tomorrowland 1n Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom. The Sky Buckets were removed from Disneyland in 1994 and from the Magic Kingdom in 1999.

I• 1 11 ciall,h voices a background character named "frantic pig". Dallas and '"'' who voices Judy, star together in the ABC fantasy series 01111,- Uµon (2011) as Snow White and Prince Charming. Goodwin and Dallas are married in real life.

To best accommodate the film in various countries, the crew at Disney had a different animal stand in place of news anchor Moosebridge that appropriately corresponds to

that particular country. Examples include: • Australia, New Zealand: Koala

• Japan: Tanuki (a raccoon dog)

• China: Giant panda

• United Kingdom: Welsh corgi

• Brazil: Jaguar

This is IL111•, rn .. 1's first of two animated movies in 2016, his second animated movie

The nudist Indian Yoga instructor is named Nangi. In India, Nangi refers to a naked person in the Hindi language.

The Assistant Mayor's surname is Bellwether, which is the leading sheep of a flock, with a bell around its neck. Additionally, a wether is a castrated ram.

When Judy is first arriving in the city, there is a glimpse of the Buy N' Large building from Wall-E.

The actor who plays Peter Moosebridge is a real news anchor for the CBC in Canada named Peter Mansbridge.

As a change of pace, Kristen Bell, who voices DMV sloth Priscilla, is a slow-talker compared to her Frozen {2013) character Princess Anna, who is a fast-talker. Sloths are one of Bell's favorite animals.

Nick Wilde's full name is Nicholas Piberius Wilde, play on James Tiberius Kirk, according to a tweet by the co-director Byron Howard.

In the scene where Asst. Mayor Bellwether assists Nick and Judy, Judy's disapproval of Nick fondling Bellwether's woof has a real world analogy.

c heech Ma11n and Tommy Chong have now both provided voices for Disney animated features. Marin has provided voices for Oi1ver & Company (1988), Tlie Lion King (1994), Cars (2006), and C a1 s 2 (2011). Chong did the voice of Yax in Zootop1a (2016).

There are numerous sight gags consisting of animal versions of common human brand names, including, Lucky Chomps (Lucky Charms cereal), Urban Snoutfitters (Urban Outfitters clothes shops), Zuber (ride hailing service Uber), Pawpsicle (Popsicle frozen pops), Lemming Bros. Bank (erstwhile Lehman Bros.), Trader Doe's (Trader Joe's food stores), Mousy's (Macy's department store), Moustercharge (MasterCharge credit cards), Furs National Bank (instead of First), Targoat (Target), Catsio (for Cassio), and MuzzleTime (FaceTime), among others.

The design and color scheme of the license plates in Zootopia is a direct homage to the license plates of Florida. Coincindetally, Walt Disney World is located in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.

Bonrne Hunt and Don Lake, who portray Judy Hopps' parents, are longtime friends and collaborators. Most recently, Don Lake has been an often on-screen producer of the Bonnie Hunt talk/variety show.

The florist shop where Emmitt Otterton works is named Flora and Fauna. Flora and Fauna are two of the fairy godmothers in <)leepmg Beauty (1959).

Young Judy Hopps was 9 years old in the beginning of the movie (where she was bullied and attacked by Gideon Grey, the Fox). The movie skips 15 years into the future where Judy graduates from Police training. Judy confirms her age as being 9 when the 'incident' with Gideon Grey occurred. This makes Judy 24 years old when she moved to zootopia.

The crosswalks, also known a zebra crossings in the UK, actually do have a pattern that matches a zebra's striped coat.

First Disney Animated Film to star Bonnif: Hu:it that's not a Pixar Movie.

The logo on Judy Hopps' cell phone is a carrot with a bite taken out of it, an obvious nod to logo of Apple Inc.

In the Jail scene with the savage predators, all of the inmates except for the searched for otter are predators from The Jungle Book.

The trivia items below may give away important plot points.

Bellwether 1s shown having a sticky note on her office desk with the name 'Doug' and a phone number. Doug is later introduced as a ram producing the night howler serum.

In the night howler lab scene, the rams who deliver the coffee are named Woolter and Jesse, referencing the characters from E'.11-.1h (2008).

Towards the beginning of the third act, Judy is shown wearing a pink shirt and blue Jeans and Nick is wearing a yellow green shirt and dark jeans. These are the same colors (but updated wardrobe), worn by Br'er Rabbit and Br'er Fox of the 1940s film

.if c,.1ut! (1946).

Jason Bateman's character uses a digital recorder to incriminate the bad guy in much the same way as he did in "Horrible Bosses."

This 1s the fourth film from wait Disney Animation Studios to have a character being revealed as the villain near the end. In this case, it is Dawn Bellwether, and the previous ones were King Candy/Turbo from W1 ~ It RillDh (2012), Hans from F1

(2013), and Professor Robert callaghan from EiiiJ o t (2014).

At the bottom of Nick's ZPD application form, for the question where 1t asks 1f the applicant has ever been convicted, Nick originally put yes but scratched 1t out.

ImmaBe From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Imma Be" is a song performed by the American hip hop group The Black Eyed Peas taken from their fifth studio album The E.ND. The song's title is a slang expression, meaning "I am going to be" or "I will be" [something or some activity]. Initially released as a promotional single, the song went on to receive a full release as the fourth single in the United States and Canada from the album, the fifth overall, and is the third single from the album to reach number-one on the Billboard Hot 100. Critical reception to the song was generally positive, with some critics saying that it was a standout track from the album. The video for the song was filmed back-to-back as one collective clip, totaling ten minutes in length with "Rock That Body" which is the fourth international single from the album. The collective montage is titled "Imma Be Rocking That Body". The song was part of the soundtrack of the film The Other Guys (2010) and was

used in the bar scene. [ 1 l The song can also be heard in the film The Hangover Part II (2011 ). However, it does not feature on the official soundtrack.

Music video

The Black Eyed Peas during the first

half of "Imma Be Rockin That Body"

Imm a Be- Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The video was filmed on January 13, 2010. The clip features Fergie wearing Louboutin designer footwear and a black metallic leotard and riding a BMW S 1 OOORR supersports motorcycle. Extras were dressed as robots and nomads (like apl.de.ap in "Meet Me Halfway"). It was shot on a desert road in Lancaster, California. Filming was interrupted by a sudden sandstorm, however, as the

storm passed, filming resumedPl The music video, directed by Rich Lee, was shot back to back with the video for "Rock That Body",

the second song on The E.ND. [3] The two songs were mashed up into a medley, which is titled "Imma Be Rocking That Body". The medley length is 8: 15 and the music video in total is 10:21. It

premiered on Vevo and Dipdive on February 16, 2010.[4][S] The videos were separated for music channels with the introduction and conclusion removed. The video begins with Fergie waking up on a road in a desert and she notices everything stuck on a loop. She gets up and sings the first verse. She arrives at a bar and finds will.i.am who is stuck on a loop of pouring his drink. She mutes his Beats which makes him stop. He notices that the robot who looped him is following them and they both hide. As the robot looks for them, they both escape in a hovercar. The robot chases them but it runs out of energy. They arrive at a scrapyard where they find apl.de.ap who is also stuck on a loop. Will.i.am taps him and makes him stop. Apl.de.ap brings a good robot to life as they dig through the scrap and find Taboo whose bottom half of his body is missing. Will.i.am and Apl.de.ap carry him as they find a pair of legs walking around the scrapyard and they quickly fix him. As Apl.de.ap raps his verse, the robots dance in the background and they disappear, leaving the evil robot wondering where they went.

Critical reception

Critical response to the song was generally positive. Eric Henderson from Slant Magazine stated that in the song, "halfuray through, the pulse gets an upgrade, the tempo hustles up to a strut, the rudimentary synth hits explode into a chunky-funky rush, and before you know it, will.i.am has transformed a deliberately lazy self-parody into a heated club-floor burner. He added: "The dialectic without conversation within "Imma

Be" is replayed ad nauseam throughout the album's entire bloated running time" .[6] PopMatters gave the song a positive review: "Highlights of the album include "Imma be", which despite the repetition of the title no less than 105 times ... takes a really interesting path from hip-hop attitude to club hit to jazz romp that

holds up well to repeated listens" Pl Vibe Magazine said that "Imm a Be is the 2008 version of "My

Humps" .[8] Billboard writes that "The group sounds as unabashedly confident as ever here ..... A brazen horn section and smooth keyboards cruise along until the song's sudden transition, when the beat switches from a

snap music-meets-Neptunes stomp to a funk-house glide, meshing with a seemingly endless vocal loop of "Imma be" to form a pounding, assertive club thumper. Given the success of its predecessors, "Imma Be",

while inherently gimmicky, should be sticking around for a long time".[9]

Chart performance

Prior to the album's release, "Imma Be" was released as a worldwide promotional single and peaked at number 50 in the United States, based on downloads alone. It has since been released as the fourth single from that album in the U.S. and became the group's third number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week ending March 6, 2010 and halted the nine-week run ofKesha's "Tik Tok". It is the group's third number one from The END. following their first two number ones "Boom Boom Pow" and "I Gotta Feeling", as well as their fourth consecutive top ten from the album. With the single reaching number one, The Black Eyed Peas became the first group or duo to place three number ones on the Hot 100 from one

album since the Wilson Phillips's debut album, Wilson Phillips, in 1990-91.[IO] This placed The Black Eyed Peas adjoined with Usher's 2004 Confessions album to have their singles from the same album to spend the most weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, which currently stands at an unprecedented 28 weeks. "Imma Be" reached the top ten on the Canadian Hot 100 due to a significant increase in digital downloads following a

performance of "Imma Be" at the 52nd Grammy Awards.[! I] In the UK the single charted at number 55, It has sold 3,000,000 digital copies in the US to date.
