Is Margin Call the Most Realistic Depiction of Finance in a Movie of all Time?

Curious to hear everyone's thoughts, but it seems to me like the nuances of Margin Call come way closer to depicting actual life in finance than any other movies. 

  • Older employees writing off conclusions they know are correct from junior employees and getting pissed off at them, only to slowly come around to the fact that they're right, then acting like the realizations are all their own insights
  • The discussion about what the senior employee making $2.5M actually banks after all of his stupid expenses (that somehow seem reasonable and agreeable to the junior employees)
  • HR playing good cop, bad cop and the role of charming women delivering brutal news to middle-aged men (ie, sending women with pretty faces on the front line to deliver verdicts that would draw combat if delivered by people that the MDs see as their equals)
  • The juniors getting called back after drinking at a bar and trying to hide the alcohol on their breath (and the seniors not mentioning it when theyr'e clearly aware)
  • The seniors pretending not to understand how to read certain data / bloomberg screens until they get shook enough to care, then immediately realizing how to read it once they realize the situation is urgent
  • The relentless pattern of pecking order. A guy at a relatively low level figures something out but it takes 5 iterations of senior employees getting mad at it then slowly accepting it until the message reaches the top rung (once it's too late)
